Chuck.
What is this?
Your job is to represent your constituents.
Nobody wants commonsense reform of ICE, they want ICE abolished.
Who do you think youโ€™re representing, because to us it looks like youโ€™re carrying water for fascists.

Separating the art from the artist is an intellectual exercise, not a get-out-of-shit-free card. You can't just stamp a man as "separated from the art" and move on. It's a useful tool for thinking about these situations, but the fact is these situations suck and continue to suck.

And of course he's not alone, he's a big example, but there have been plenty of other monsters in those fields. Removing him does not usefully solve a systemic problem.

I know we're long past the "mourn the art" phase of this particular story, but I'm ashamed to say it did take until moving house to un-shelve my Sandman Absolute Editions and box them up in the basement.
I hate how deeply woven into the last 40 years of all the mediums I love he is/was.

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."

I'm now thinking back on ABC's books and remembering Jonni Future.

Alan Moore: Hey Art, did you draw that Flash Gordon pastiche I asked for?
Art Adams: Sure did, boss, made it real sexy just like you asked.
Alan Moore: Excellent.

Especially considering DC did it to him AGAIN with ABC.
I'm willing to let the man of great talent rest and live his own life.

God, these ABC comics were great.
Top 10 is still one of my favorite runs of comics. I really wish I'd gotten that Absolute Edition when I had the chance.

DO they want them in their orbit? They don't seem to actually LIKE women very much.

The planet could honestly do with a statistical population collapse among humans. Don't worry, weirdos, the human race will continue, there doesn't seem to be much chance of stopping it.

It also speaks to white supremacy, because these people are only ever talking to white men when they say this. They're afraid "their culture" (which is both bad and not related to genes) will vanish because of race mixing or whatever. They're weird as hell!

As a man who has, granted, decided not to have kids and made that decision via surgery, I do not understand this obsession with "the gene pool". Who gives as shit? It's weird as hell to me that anyone cares about this, and I think it speaks to an underlying selfish conservatism that sucks butts.

We all have our struggles and our darkness, but he came out to help people not to hurt them. And they hated that.

You have to put yourself in a plastic bag, or else it'll be soup vide.

Yeah, the guy they murdered had community, and I don't for a second think that didn't fuel their rage and violence.

They are very believably brother and sister. A very good looking family, I must say.

Honestly a thousand ships seems a little light for Lupita Nyong'o.

She played Viola in Twelfth Night at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park and while dressed up as Cesario with a mustache and everything I was like "... would."

I'd throw my ship into the mix, if we're launching ships for her.

That donโ€™t work.
And that even if they did work are collected by a private, for-profit company that collects data from riders.
