Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

In the mood for laughs so I reread Superguy #1 by @mrtonynacho.bsky.social and Joey Murphy Super funny and dense issue where you root for the robot. Highly recommend checking it out!

We now know 60% to 70% of MAGA accounts were coming from bot farms outside the U.S.

That means every time you or I argued/engaged with a MAGA account, the odds were worse than a coin flip we were dealing with a bot.

Same goes for our politicians (and President) any time they promoted a MAGA post.

I drew this Superman back in April, but never felt satisfied with it. Just edited the drawing a bit and did some color adjustments and I think that did the trick.

Are talking animals the purest and most accessible form of storytelling? I think from Aesop’s Fables to Looney Tunes to Zootopia, there might be a case to make for that.
