And occasional videogame, comicbook and Superman content, because, yeah...

Look at him. Decent people across the nation instinctively want to punch that smug asshole. Pacifists, the meek, the timid- it doesn't matter, they look at Poilievre and their fists clench.
You can't focus group that away. You can't make him palatable to humans.

Thinking about reading this civil war history because I really like its spirit. Sherman's march should have been repeated over every southern state, back and forth, devastating them so that they would never have dared to continue terrorizing freed slaves.

Now I want Absolute Superman to crush ICE en masse. Have him fly across America and bloodily deal with the government oppressors. It would just be cool.

In the Absolute Batman annual, Batman severely fucks up some American nazis. Racists are REALLY unhappy with this. But they have to equivocate miserably in their criticisms, because they know that they can't outright declare that they identify with the nazis.

And Superman and The Authority is another lowkey masterpiece. Not his greatest work, but still a very, very good series that was written with great affection for Superman. No one writes and ageing Superman better than Morrison, but no one writes Superman better than him as well.

I didn't like the New 52 in general. But I loved Grant Morrison's Action Comics. Superman is my favorite character and Morrison writes him with great love and understanding.

If you love genuinely moving narrative games, or if you love cats (and who doesn't love cats?) then Copycat is the game for you.
And, not to spoil it, but if you are worried- it has a very, very sweet ending. Little Dawn ends up just fine.

Ta'Neheshi Coates nails it. The eulogies for Charlue Kirk by moderates were disgraceful.
Why didn't they actually quote Kirk? We know why...

Then I saw clips from Peacemaker- specifically Vigilante being hilarious.
So now I have also impulsively grabbed Gunn's Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.

I saw a clip of GI Robot killing Nazis and immediately bought season one of Creature Commandos.
I just finished episode three.

Currently fighting the impulse to buy Absolute Multiversity. I have the Multiversity in hardcover.
But this one is bigger? And it probably comes in a nice box...
Really, I just want more Grant Morrison writing Superman.

Action Comics 775 is a great issue and is considered a classic nowdays. But it's not the high point of Kelly's run, at least not for me. Nor is Our Worlds at War or Emperor Joker.
I love the story of a Metropolis that had been dragged into the future and Steel having a special base. The whole run.

A populace with a highly racist contingent are likely always primed for authoritarianism. Especially one where those racists all belong to conservative churches.
My grandfather knew that Nazis were to be killed. That's a contentious opinion now.

Notice that the right-wing reactionaries try to blame trans people every time there's a mass shooting? This is by design. Trans people are a very small minority that, years ago, they decided to vilify and focus their abuse onto. Poilievre, Smith and all Canadian conservatives are on board with this.

Charlie Kirk was profoundly racist, sexist and homophobic and willingly made people's lives worse because he was paid to do so. And now people are losing their jobs because they're pointing out that the world is a better place without him in it.
This is fucking madness.

I cannot stress enough how strong the character models are. Graphically, it's incredibly impressive.

I finally watched Thunderbolts and it was far, far better than I thought that it would be. That movie definitely could have been bigger than it was.
The Sentry was incredibly well handled. For such a problematic character, whose appearances in the comics have been a scattershot, he was great.

I completed Omori. It has an incredibly clever design and uses charming pixel art to conceal an extremely dark and moving story. It's definitely worth playing.

And Nicholas Hoult was a great Luthor. Very driven, evil and self-aware. Absolutely malevolent.
