Does Hawkgirl count as an extended JL character?

Spotted in Broadstairs, Kent - good job 👏

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Kamikaze: An Untold History Japanese and US veterans reflect on the 'kamikaze' attacks of World War II, which killed thousands of Japanese airmen and Allied military personnel.

Today (80 years since the Hiroshima bombing) felt like a suitable day to watch this: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Interesting, enraging and heartbreaking in equal measure!

I try not to because it would just make me very grumpy 🥲

(but the calendar could also read Tenshō 16 since Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the first to do a sword ban/weapon surrender scheme 🤓)

What an incredibly niche meme, made me chortle 😂

Below is an alternate viewpoint of the classic cover, through Batman's POV - A purple gloved hand holding onto a cable, swinging toward to shadowy gangsters on a rooftop, with a giant eye in the background.

Yeah, the article I read had the fraudster in question using AI to create fake promo images for his festival... definitely a playbook that these guys are working from 🤦

If they get back to me I'll be dumping a whole lot of info (like this series) on them!

True, I should have signed it as "the Toilet King" - I'm sure that would have helped!

Read an article on the Beeb about a fake festival put together by a fraudster which collapsed, and it seemed familiar... so I've sent a submission about TFTQ in case they want to report on it 😎 @evanbenner.com hope you don't mind a BBC reporter reviewing your timeline if they decide to pick it up!

Doing a 10K training run this morning was a good idea until it started absolutely pissing it down halfway through 🥲 Also turns out my planned route (all the way out to the reservoir and back) isn't quite 10K so that's annoying, I'll need to throw an extra loop in somewhere...

Actually, you know what - "rhetorical warlord" is actually quite fitting because he sends thousands of words (soldiers) out to die in a vain pursuit of conquest that is ultimately doomed to failure 😎

Imagine posting that in all sincerity? Welcome to the post-cringe era!

Imagine trying to imply that this creature has ever done anything wrong in his whole, entire life? Completely innocent, of all things

I do plz 🖐️

I'm not pumping all my personal data into a corpo database so I guess email me instead 🤷

Ahhh, fuck off 🖕

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant

I'm on the app and no notifications/no issues, so I guess I'll just ignore it until such time as anything changes 😅

I haven't engaged with this verification thing at all and I appear to still have my DMs? Maybe they'll get nuked next time the app updates or something 🤷

I find it darkly funny that two events I loathe for differing reasons are on the same weekend this year: Tramlines Festival (right near my house, makes it noisy and busy and impossible to get anywhere) and SDCC (an annual reminder of my complete failure to achieve anything in comics) 🥲

Played my first games of Magic: The Gathering this evening with a Final Fantasy deck courtesy of one of my best pals - got beaten every time, but I was doing pretty well in my first match until the guy pulled out an infinite combo setup which felt like getting Blue Eyes White Dragon'd 😅

Hire Ben, not only an amazing artist but an even better person ✨
