Looking for ideas.
My son has been through it this year. Cancer diagnosis. Chemo. A bad kidney that meant he had to have a nephrostomy bag. Constant trips to Stanford for biopsies and spinal infusions. Reactions from medication that sent him to the ED. Surgeries. Depression. Quarantine. Etc.

1) You may not see a lot of Sal Buscema's influence on my own art style, but I am thankful for the part he played in my comic art life. I don't think I've told many people the following story, but I had a wonderful lunch with Sal when I was in high school...

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence:

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Perhaps President Pedophile with his hands on a kid was not the best way to start a college championship.

With the comic collection finally in order, tomorrow I start setting up my eBay store.
Hopefully I'll have spending money in time for WonderCon in late March.

Really happy to see the Dodgers and Mets improve their teams. It's about time that the poorer franchises got to add good players.

I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.
I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.
