I write dumb, vulgar shit about cool comics (and dumb comics (seldom vulgar comics)) which I pretend are reviews but are actually deep stares (too deep!) into my worthless soul.

Answering "God" to any question about reality we don't currently have an answer to is like playing The Game of Life and when you need to pay your taxes, you just grab some money out of the Monopoly box.

The minds that cheered at a lynching still exists .
The minds that stripped and murdered the inmates at Auschwitz still exist. The minds that beat gay men to death and hanged women as witches still exist.
We hoped we’d moved on, changed , but it is increasingly clear this was a liberal delusion.

If you're still posting regularly on Twitter and bullshitting every day as if nothing is wrong I genuinely think less of you. Low stakes for sure but those are the stakes!
Damn Twitter is good again now gotta get back on there.
A tale of three apps. Identical post sent at the same time:
Twitter: 136,000 likes, 20,000 shares
Threads: 46,000 likes, 4,000 ahares
Bluesky: 149 likes, 45 shares
To be clear, I have 60k followers on Twitter, 15k on Bluesky, but only 7k on Threads.
I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable.
