My first thought when seeing the artwork in this book really was, "Damn, European cartoonists still have that line work that looks like classic mid-century US comic book artists."

Trump’s team is 'furious' at #ElonMusk for using #X to slam #Stargate - the $500B AI mega-deal Trump had just called 'tremendous' and 'monumental.' We wrote about why who controls #AI is crucial ⬇️ and #Trump 's ultra-rich oligarchs are now battling for dominance. #WealthTaxNow

This is the moment of truth for Europe. Either it doubles down on its efforts to rein in the tech oligarchs, safeguarding its democracy and sovereignty in the process. Or it throws in the towel to appease Trump and becomes a vassal state. That's the choice.

Thank you for saying so, Drake. It was the positive experience of having been a contributor to "The Feminist Porn Book" that encouraged me to make "Coming Out Like a Porn Star" a published anthology. (And both books include some of my favorite sex worker authors.)

The "______ is NOT a Christmas movie!" people baffle me. I get that some people take great comfort in rigid definitions that cannot be questioned but the real meaning of the holiday season is for people to decompress after the stress of another year by enjoying the traditions that bring them warmth and comfort.

So, if they watch their favourite movie every Christmas, it's a Christmas movie to them. Regardless of what it's about or whether or not it has anything to do with the holiday at all. (And if it DOES feature elements of that holiday and you're still telling them they're wrong, then you really do have a serious problem you should talk to someone about.)

To tell them, "NO! THAT IS NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE BECAUSE ______________" isn't defending Christmas. It's the exact opposite. It's trying to lessen someone else's enjoyment of the holiday because it doesn't match up with your own.

And that's far more Scrooge than Santa.

Apparently I wrote this 3 years ago today and I think I nailed it?

Billionaire Island Takes Aim At The Mega-Rich [Review] Billionaire Island is biting satire that's aimed directly at the mega-rich. Find out why it's a must read in this review.

Considering recent events, it's unsurprising that our review for @manruss.bsky.social, @stevepugh.bsky.social, and @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social Billionaire Island has resurfaced again.
