Here's how to turn off Bluesky's censorship settings, so you can see posts by people you follow, even if Bluesky thinks they're rude.

You can customize the controls on quite a bit more than the Rude label, even.

Still canโ€™t believe this is happened. The city has given me a lot and as I continue to build my comic company and my comics community, I hope I continue to make the proud and shine a spotlight on everything amazing Compton has to offer!

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

How embarrassing to be a bigoted Captain America fan and know Steve Rogers would despise you if he existed. You can't even lean on the lie that the character has been hijacked by radicals because the creators were anti-fascists. That **** is baked in.

Friends, weโ€™ve had a wonderful overnight in Louisville. Two fantastic games at the NCAA volleyball semifinals, and our morning spent at the Muhammad Ali Center. Must-see if youโ€™re in the area!

It's THE time of year again and I can only repeat myself: animals are not presents. Especially not spontaneous or impulsive ones for children. They are commitments for many years. A pet requires dedication and research. Every year, many pets are abandoned and die miserably.

last month, Massimiliano Frezzato passed away. He was the main artist on the first issue of Heavy Metal I ever read. Comic artists are weird and crazy and should live forever!
