It's kind of amazing Trump will never feel whole. When my first comic came out I felt like a king, and he can't feel that when he's president.

People keep mentioning about how we banned DnD and music lyrics but not this, but that's art, and people hate art they don't understand.
Anything else, though? AI, healthcare, a burning atmosphere, terrifying YouTube slop, go nuts, have fun, that's not art, that's toxins. We love those.

I very badly want this, and I think it's further proof that a lot of the good stuff we abandoned in the last decade or two because shiny is making a clear comeback. Print is back, obviously, but also physical buttons, going to concerts without recording, and maybe even having a real-life girlfriend.

America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I want this site to beat twitter, and for twitter to evaporate. For that to happen, people you hate must have a more pleasant experience posting here than posting there.
A minority of this site decided instead that they want it to be their little club, so that's what we have.
