Why are people who say things like "it's up to God," the people most likely to exert control over everything around them?

I feel bad for anyone that thought Swerve was going to win last night. Tony Khan seems incapable of changing his booking plans no matter fan reaction. The only reason Swerve held the belt at all was because Joe needed to leave to film.

Cena's turn was executed perfectly, but am I really the only one who assumed he was turning as soon as the "sell your soul" stuff began?
Whoever won the Chamber was going to turn, although I thought it might have been Punk instead of Cena to be even more shocking.

Blackwulf was so wonderfully weird. A fantasy comic set under Marvel New York. Glad to see someone remembers it.
Choose 20 comics that have stayed with you or influenced you. One comic per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

The first Unrivaled basketball game makes me wonder if 3-on-3 is the future of basketball. Such a compelling game. @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social

Just wrote the shortest DC: A New Dawn review I believe I've ever written. Reading late 80s Mike Baron comics is truly frustrating as his Deadman and Punisher are so good, while his Flash and this Batman Annual are at the same level as one of his other, most infamous titles, Sonic Disruptors.

Tried to watch Yellowstone & my immediate reaction is that Costner is clearly the villain. How did a show about a rich landowner fighting mean Native Americans and other rich landowners make people love these characters?

I'm always amazed when people share pictures like this of Dubai as some sign of "great progress" instead of what it actually should be described as: "cyberpunk dystopia."
