I see a lot of people blaming the comics industry for the 6-figure debt that Peter David’s medical struggle put him into. But please, please don’t forget to blame the United States, where not having affordable health care is a personal failing not a community issue.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

The center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low.
At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless:
“An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.”

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”
Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

It’s understandable when you realize they’re envious. Even with all the money, all the privilege, the opportunity, their daddy’s money can’t buy talent. They hate us cause they ain’t us, as the saying goes. So they seek to destroy us.
The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

Food apps can help you figure out what's in your food and whether it's nutritious. Just scan the barcode on the packet with your phone. But different apps can give very different results. Here's why.
Using an app to rate food for nutrition? Take the results with a grain of salt

But I won’t get royalties for this book until my book Wake earns out. And I have to pay 7k out of pocket to hire the letterer, unless Wake earns out within the next 6 months. So buy Wake! Ask your library to buy Wake. Even in places where it is banned. Ask them to order it anyway

Kinda eerie how a St Louis comrade has been privately sharing disaster zone details — huge swaths of the city leveled, working-class Black folks disproportionately impacted — and how I'm basically not seeing this catastrophe reported by most national media. Read @devintoshea.bsky.social's piece ⬇️
In St. Louis, a Tornado Rips Across an Economic Disaster Area
St. Louis can either use the disaster as an opportunity to commit to the safety of all its residents, or it can continue a barbaric cycle of neglect.

I spoke to @npr.org about USDA’s illegal demand for sensitive data about millions of food stamp recipients.
It’s the kind of request you make if you’re trying to feed a massive surveillance program, not if you’re trying to feed hungry kids.
Every state should sue, and refuse to comply. 👇👇

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it
What Are People Still Doing on X?
