New episode of @marvelbythemonth.com dropped this AM. For how absolutely bizarre WAR IS HELL is – not to mention the fact that I'm pretty sure it was Chris Claremont's first ongoing Marvel series! – I'm very surprised that it's not better known relative to other Marvel '70s weirdness.
FREE PREVIEW! We conclude our coverage of WAR IS HELL with the second and final episode of MORTALITY by the Month! Become a Patron at patreon.com/marvelbythemonth to hear the full version!

I used to joke that going to Times Square and seeing everyone walking around wearing Yankees caps was the Red Sox fan’s equivalent of one of those alternate-reality science fiction shows where the Nazis won WWII. I guess I was closer to the mark than I thought.

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society.
That's it. That's the post.

OBVIOUSLY you should listen to the new @marvelbythemonth.com ep that dropped this morning first, but then please check out @1900hotdog.bsky.social's Dogg Zzone 9000, where I talk about one of the 10 worst comics I've ever read and do my best to keep up with two of the funniest people in existence!
@brockway.bsky.social, @seanbaby.bsky.social, and guest @bryanstratton.com are talking Malibu comics this week in The DoggzZone. Specifically, Malibu Comics The Ferret who is not Wolverine, legally. He's also not a combination of Aquaman and a pervert (supposedly). on.soundcloud.com/wMEBjfbhvKpe...

It never once occurred to me that Huey, Dewey, and Louie wouldn’t be called “Huey, Dewey, and Louie” everywhere. 🤯

The cognitive dissonance required to support the government saying both “Forget vaccines, you just need fresh, healthy food” and “We’re firing all the food inspectors” is truly staggering.

I'm very grateful that I had a therapist who advised me to get screened just so I would have a sense of the specifics of my neurodivergence but strongly advised me against getting a formal medical diagnosis. She didn't know this was coming, but she was aware that it could be.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."
