Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

I definitely took a nap between the protests this morning and the party I’m headed to now.

Yup or they’re on a weeknight and I have a presentation the next day at the day job.

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Marchand pulling the straps off Dahlin’s helmet in the box is wild. No extra penalty there?

Hot Wings, No Kings, Go Bills deserves to be as ubiquitous as Be Good, Do Good, God Bless, Go Bills

100%. It was my favorite sign of the day.

Latkes, sausage, eggs, and tea.

Sour cream, horseradish, & Tabasco sauce for the latkes

More pics. Antifa is clearly comprised of old ladies, dogs, & children.

A beautiful morning in sunny downtown Buffalo, NY.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

If you see my sign in Niagara Square tomorrow, say hello.

Flash 326

Not a key or fancy but FLASH 326 was a cover that *compelled* young me to drop a precious 60¢ on it.

This happened often to #Buffalo grain elevators: collapses, explosions, fires, injuries, deaths.
It is why the industry switched to concrete silos as soon as they were feasible.

I hope you didn’t take my jokes as siding with Bolton at all. He’s a raging asshole who deserves to spend the rest of his days stepping on LEGO but this still stinks of a vindictive prosecution.

DO NOT sit down in a moving crowd. Would you sit down in a mosh pit? This advice will get you injured.

John Bolton’s Geocities page was dozens of exploding bomb pixel sprites and a link to the homepage for The Project for the New American Century.

The Bengals defensive line is making 41-yo Aaron Rogers look like 31-yo Aaron Rogers.

“So every magazine came with an AOL install disc… wait, let me back up and explain what a disc was… or… sorry, your honor. I promise this is going somewhere. Magazines were periodical publications on glossy paper…”

DOJ investigation of John Bolton focuses on diary-like notes in his AOL email account | CNN Politics Part of the Justice Department’s investigation of John Bolton centers around notes he was making to himself in an AOL email account — at times writing summaries of his activities like diary entries — ...

My sympathies to the prosecutors who have to spend several days explaining to the jury what AOL was (is?).

Carol Danver confronting Rogue

TBT: Despite unfolding in the pages of X-Men comics, an industry juggernaut, the story of Carol Danvers’ cohabitation within the psyche of Rogue is not often considered within Carol’s history, a tragic oversight of a poignant and symbolically rich story. #TheMarvels #CaptainMarvel 1/13

There tape on the spine of my original but yeah, that glue wasn’t meant to last.

Ok. Your original wins😂

I do however also own the original color superstitions for that edition of the trade. So that got to count for something 😂

OMG. That’s incredible. How?

Two copies of The Dark Phoenix trade in differing states of repair.

This is my second copy, picked up at an estate sale recently for $3. My original lived in my backpack for years in grade school and is struggling to hold it together.

The Sabres look like a hockey team in this period. No one jinx it!
