Modern digital downloads will never recapture the impact of reading SWAMP THING #4 in 1973, turning the page and being walloped by this, one of Bernie's finest. I still get chills...

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

It was 60 years ago this week Batmania truly gripped America, as ABC's BATMAN - having debuted in January - lodged both of its weekly episodes in Nielsen's Top 10, where it would remain throughout the season. Ratings slowly drifted downward in Year Two, but in February 1966 it was a cultural phenom.

You can just say "yes, he is a racist" or "yes, obviously he is a racist" or "are you fucking kidding me, what kind of stupid question is that in 2026?"
MSNBC: Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist?
HAKEEM JEFFRIES: If the guy is not a racist, he's certainly doing the best job that he can trying to convince us otherwise

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

This headline assumes, once again, that his voters elected him to fix their lives. They didn’t. They voted for him to mirror their prejudices. To be the White Supremacist in Chief.
And he has never betrayed them on that.
When will that lesson take hold in journalism?

French composer Marius Constant was born OTD in 1925. Wrote for the concert stage, but his most famous music is the four-note guitar motif used as TWILIGHT ZONE's theme. Two of his works were spliced together to create it; being work-for-hire, he received no additional compensation. He died in 2004.

This is not true. All of the evidence from videos and eyewitnesses show the booing started when Vance appeared on the jumbotron. An accurate headline would say this:
"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

It was OTD in 1974 that DC published SWAMP THING #10, the final issue drawn by Bernie Wrightson. The legendary artist had burned out on the grind of a regular series; writer Len Wein continued for three more issues with Nestor Redondo, but missed the creative synergy. An award-winning run ended...

Remembering actor/writer Nick Adams, born OTD in 1931. He created the ABC series THE REBEL, canceled by the network after two seasons despite high ratings. Hoped for a Steve McQueen-like career and was disappointed doing Japanese SF & horror. His OD at 36 raised questions: accidental or intentional?

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings
It's a 2-1 ruling
