Re-upping this because they managed to arrest the king’s brother (?)
it is so embarrassing that we can’t get trump on the epstein stuff. After access Hollywood and Miss teen USA and the E Jean Carroll verdict, it’s like we let Jeffrey Dahmer go three times and then found him with a hundred human heads and we‘re standing there like are you SURE these aren’t yours

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Do they state in the comics whether it’s okay to drink Iceman’s body ice without boiling it first?
Do the people who gripe about Batman not using his billions to solve the root causes of crime in Gotham also chide Iceman for not providing portable drinking water, which is also his body, to regions of the world, afflicted by drought and disease?

CNN regularly seems to put a guy called Kevin O’Leary on their shows, because it’s important to know the perspective of very wealthy people who have no moral lines that can be crossed as long as they are making more money

the thing about "i want to make comics" is that you have to start by making comics. it feels daunting because you want to make GOOD comics

but like

This won't be out until late Fall 2026, but this cover is too good not to share: here's David Collier's wraparound cover for But is it...Comic Aht? #5 from Domino. Issue will feature a long interview with David Collier, Bud Grace and much much more.

They are building concentration camps.

They intend to turn a former warehouse twenty-five minutes from us -- between LEGOLAND New York and the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets -- into a concentration camp.

ICE is now in our community, too.

Resist this regime of monstrous evildoers.

ICE out.

Seeing a lot of AI generated “cool” fight sequences accompanied by the sentiment that “Hollywood is so cooked”, and I guess what you’d like to think is, a story is more than a ten second clip of Wolverine trying to stab Superman while making a badass pose
