While the thought is appreciated, National Napping Day is still sadly not accepted as an excuse for being late to work. Dammit.

That's awesome. How was Kurtzman? I saw him and Jack Davis on one of those Comic Book Greats videos hosted by Stan Lee and he didn't really say anything. He could have just been shy, or maybe just couldn't stand Stan.

4 frame comic. first frame shows a rhode island street with a police car and yellow "police line do not cross" tape. text reads : conservatives, far-right
propagandists and ultra-rich
transphobes want you to
believe that there is an epidemic
of "trans violence". 
2nd frame shows a group of heavily armed men against a wall. text reads :
they cherry-pick examples to fit
their narratives, conveniently
leaving out the fact that 97.5%
of mass shootings, which mostly
only happen in the united states,
are carried out by cis men
(and 2.03% by cis women).
3rd frame shows a gun in the colors of the american flag. text reads :
even when a shooter is indeed
trans or gender non-conforming,
there is one consistent aspect
that unites them all with their
cisgender counterparts : they
are far-right, gun-loving
radicalized maga supporters.
fourth frame shows the Dennis M Lynch arena with yellow police tape around it and cars and onlookers. text reads : don't let them use yet
another tragedy to scapegoat
a community made so vulnerable
by years of relentless attacks
when the culprits are gun
culture and white supremacy.

Don't let them use this tragedy for their hateful agenda.

The conservative 180 on Rowling will never not be funny. That Pastor Greg guy (Locke or Abbott, who cares?) was burning HP merch as recently as 2021 and those "read a different book" Soyjak memes were probably posted more times on /pol/ than the Happy Merchant. Now they love her.

Movie Not Belong Dead

Movie Not Belong Dead

Violent Femmes Rage Against the Machine! Just saw #TheBride! It DESPERATELY wants to be a cult film, but it's a fun, fun ride! It didn't need the possession stuff, but it was a neat homage to the original BOF's prologue, where Elsa Lanchester doubled as Mary Shelley. Period Piece Horror wins again!

When I was a kid buying up those Russ Cochran reprints in quarter bins, I was surprised to learn that he was making appearances in his own comics even in the pre-Mad horror days, often alongside Feldstein. You can't ever say he took all the glory.

That's not even tempting fate, that's dropping trou and painting a target.

The sad part is a huge chunk of the people who did this also whined about Bernie Bros doing the same in 2016. Don't get me wrong, both approaches got us into the mess we're in, but fuck, after almost a solid decade you'd think some people would learn from other's mistakes if not their own.

For a party that has a problem with understand that trans women are women, they sure are ok with twisting their brains with believing war is peace.

"He's going to be tough on Israel!"
"He's finally going to end the war in the Middle East!"
"He'll put a stop to the genocide Sleepy Joe allowed!"

Just a reminder that this happened two days ago.

David Ellison is the nepo baby who runs Paramount/Skydance and brought on Bari Weiss to destroy CBS News. He will now run Warner Bros and CNN after the likely merger.

Heading to the midnight showing for #Scream7 in a few hours. Fingers crossed that it'll be good, but honestly, I kinda want this to be the end. Not because I'm sick of the series necessarily, but because it'd be awesome to end a series that began in 1996 in 2026. I loves me some symmetry.

While a nation hangs it's head in shame
Take thee refuge in fire and flame
Revel in the work of Kirby, his royal highness
In Birth of The Demon: DC's Finest
The true revelation tho, to ye emboldened
Is the art by Michael Golden!
Now I end this cringey chant
But demand,
Reprint the run by Alan Grant!

So much for the claim that they wanted to 'preserve history' back when they were defending confederate statues and Aunt Jemima.

I stopped taking The Comics Journal seriously when a Wertham/CCA apologist tried to argue that the reason the story was denounced was because the guy was sweating, not because he was black. Sure.

Great, one of the few alternatives for when the Wayback Machine isn't working. Keep your flash drives handy.

"Mulder, there's no such thing as Pedos"

Silly as I think the Mandela Effect theory is, there really are days where I wonder if I slipped into the world's dumbest alternate universe.

I used to admire how he seemed unafraid to champion B-movies, or unafraid to bash classics. It seemed comparatively honest. Now he just sounds like one of those edgy teens you see in YouTube comments hating on Criterion or calling people "pretentious" for enjoying anything older than the 90s.

the image is a screen cap of an elon musk tweet that reads:  "For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture.
Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone"!
American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for.
Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here."

Accuse me of xenophobic stereotyping all you like, but the last person I'm going to listen to about the real America is a dope-addicted unmarried immigrant who can't even count how many kids he has from God knows how many women.

Ladies and gents alike, I can safely say that if someone doesn't want to watch Tromeo & Juliet with you on V-Day, they aren't worth your time.

That is a truly beautiful word salad, and I don't doubt a single part of it. Reddit should be nuked if this isn't #1 on their BrandNewSentence or NotTheOnion subs.

Not surprising in the least. Obviously, there are always going to be culture wars and things which seem exaggerated to the terminally online, but the way certain things about the anti-Woke 'crusade' seemed to pop up overnight always DID seem suspicious.
