Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

Just so we're clear. The way Wonder Woman talks about Sideways in Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4 is exactly how every Marvel hero feels about Spider-Man.

Medium-rare take:
a fifty-year mortgage would sound like a great idea if we were also funding free access to the state-of-the-art health care (we used to research) that let people feel living to 95 independently was a plausible future.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.
