Maxwell should die in prison. No pardon. No parole.

RIP Drew Struzan, you absolute giant.

Saddened to hear of Chicago artist/writer/actor Tony Fitzpatrick's passing. Time was he co-hosted with Buzz Kilman on Saturday nights on ye olde AM1000 and I was a frequent caller to that show. Very cultured and intelligent man who loved this town.

NYCC ’25: DC Comics announces 10 new titles for Vertigo revival

DC Comics has announced a list of titles and creators for the revival of the publisher's legendary Vertigo imprint.

One of the most frightening things about Trump's fascist coup is how many people don't realize it's a fascist coup.

Holy shit. Rick Veitch's interrupted SWAMP THING run will finally see completion, starting with the infamous "Morning Of The Magician" issue featuring Swamp Thing and Jesus of Nazareth in Gethsemane.

Y'all remember in the 90s, they launched WOW! Doritos with Olestra?

Then almost overnight, every chip product on the shelf had Olestra jammed in?

Only it inhibited absorption of nutrients and gave everyone loose stools, abdominal cramps and anal leakage.

AI is only here to stay if we consume it!

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Inside real estate fight that led to South Shore immigration raid City of Chicago inspected the troubled 130-unit apartment complex two weeks before massive federal operation on Chicago’s South Side.

Maybe someone should investigate if Wells Fargo asked ICE to evict the occupants for them.

The U.S. press isn't capable of admitting this clearly, but Bari Weiss was hired to turn CBS into a right wing propaganda machine and troll operation

Gov. shut down, ICE snatching people off the street, groceries are $100/bag, you don’t know if your job will be there by the end of the year, international community doesn’t see us as a destination. We ain’t that cute and our hair is uneven.
