My favorite Bob Kane story:
!["Bob had gotten to the point where he never drew anything. Never drew anything on the Batman comics, anyway. [Sheldon] Moldoff was ghosting them all and when he didn't, someone else did.
The only thing I think Bob ever drew was when we'd be out somewhere, in a restaurant or someplace, and a pretty girl would come over to him and say, 'Are you really the man who draws Batman?' Then he could whip out a little sketch for her, a big sketch if she was wearing something low-cut and would bend over to watch him draw.
One day I'm over at his house to discuss this newspaper strip idea we had and he's talking about who we might get to draw it. I was going to write it and we were going to get someone else to draw it. I'm not sure what Bob was going to do on it except sign his name. I said to him, 'Bob, isn't it disappointing to you that you don't draw any more? You were once such a great artist.' He wasn't but you had to talk to Bob that way.
He said, 'Oh, no. Let me show you something.' He took me into a little room in his house. It was his studio. I didn't even know he still had a studio. It was all set up with easels and things and there were paintings, paintings of clowns.

In future years, the 2026 World Cup, if not boycotted, will be remembered the way the 1936 Olympics is - a spectacle used to prop up the image of a fascist.
Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

This is abhorrent. The 4th amendment is the law of the land, and you need a warrant to enter people’s homes.
The courts must step in immediately and ICE must leave our cities.

Sorry but anyone who tries to tell you (leftistly) that Calhoun is a more authentic exemplar of the American political tradition than Frederick Douglass is a wrecker.

If there's anyone who still thinks this will all blow over when our big beautiful president Leaves Us, you have to realize the Republican Party is crawling with fascists

Given that it took nearly two years to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump, "pressure" is not the word to associate with Merrick Garland.
COHEN: Did Merrick Garland ever pressure you to bring an indictment?

If you go to them and say "Actually America is bad and you're bad for liking it," they're going to ignore you. If you say "America is a promise and is good & we have to fight to live up to it, let's punch Nazis like we did in WWII" then more of them will join you, which we need to stop the fascists
