HBO and A24’s Brilliant New Documentary Investigates True Crime Itself In 1991, four teens were murdered in Austin. The damage was just beginning.

I wrote about The Yogurt Shop Murders,which takes a hard look at a truly horrific crime, and a harder look at true crime itself.

Say what you will about International Capital but are you not at least still a little surprised at how cowardly they’ve turned out to be? And all because there is one weird old drooling pervert dementia patient doing whatever he wants every single day? And fucking with their actual money too! I had been under the impression this entire time that that was one thing that you couldn’t do. I thought that they had Jasons Bourne available for scenarios much like this.

Just one of the many ways in which International Capital has let me down.

No prob! Lmk if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for that’s not in Chronicles. The only thing I spot is a few β€œSuper-Health” and β€œAttaining Super-Strength” one-pagers. e.g.

Zohran Mamdani suffers from a rare condition called Hunter Biden’s Complaint, which causes every right-wing dunk to make him seem progressively cooler and more fun

I don’t have the Chronicles tpbs but here’s a customer photo from Amazon and some quick iPhone pics of my own Superman: The First Superhero trade. As you can see, colors are a bit lighter and pagination is different. Hope that helps

If the liberal establishment had reacted to our repeated arguments that Israel was embarking on genocide by using effective pressure to halt the slaughter before things got that far, that would have been okay. They could have turned around and called us alarmist. I’d have been fine with that.

(Obviously the omnibi are on archival paper and have stitched binding but I like being able to throw a huge chunk of silver Age comics in my bag without worrying I will ruin my back or lose the price of airfare to my parents’ house if it rains)

These are on glossy paper, but DC seems to be using the same seps from its recent golden and silver age omnibuses (which are also on glossy stock and look good). The Doom Patrol one in particular is really greatβ€”it covers two full omnibi for forty bucks. Iirc they ran $100 apiece originally.

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

one of the most indicative traits of an intellectual fraud is their willingness to run off at the mouth about things they very clearly don’t understand. it’s totally fine to not be an AI expert. why are you pretending to be one for your 100k substack subscribers?

Also, the creators being Estonian, it’s weird when folks who have never lived under communism read into it a kind of pro-communism that is possible only if you haven’t lived under it

How many rust belt cities successfully halted if not reversed their declines because of their universities and academic institutions? Pittsburgh is the poster child, but Baltimore owes a lot to this too. This is going to be a completely man-made disaster for them.
