What if my next book was just a monograph about Warren Ellis and Mark Millar's run on "The Authority" I'd call it something like THE COMIC BOOK THAT DESTROYED WESTERN CIVILIZATION

THIS IS GOING TO ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR TOTO

More remarkable / foreboding old Rolling Stone cover items:

And how many self-portraits has Harrison Ford ever gotten into the National Portrait Gallery????? That's right. Zero. Meanwhile, Billy Dee is out here staying in the fuckin' archive for all time:

We used to have PROPER movie ads in this country

Wow, Rolling Stone really did Billy Dee dirty here Real talk: the cover shoulda just been him looking sexy??????

Nearly all of these old Rolling Stone issues have cover-blurb juxtapositions that remind me that (a) fascism's rise in the USA goes waaaaay back, (b) lots of reporters valiantly tried to warn everyone else, and (c) the 90s were just a better time for mass-marketed music To wit:

This is 100% true

If the rest of it is like the Gaiman article I read yesterday, it must be incredible.

Going through old Rolling Stone cover blurbs is a real trip from the vantage point of 2026! To wit, this, from 1994's issue #685:

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well my goodness, there's no need for ad hominem attacks, cover blurb from Rolling Stone #704:

The full quote from Trump that Aaron Rupar cut off in his transcription is: "We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise, 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿" It was praise and hope, not an insult He is trying to make the twist from OBLIVION (2013) become a reality

MEN: What's stopping you from wearing your hair like John Cougar Mellencamp circa summer 1987??

Sting timeline cleanse

Yes this is really crucial shit

If you're a comics addict and you want to understand how the apocalypse happened, there's never been a better time to catch up on @eruditorumpress.com's 10yr project, LAST WAR IN ALBION, which frames the collapse of the West in the context of the Alan Moore - Grant Morrison feud Essential stuff!!!

This is some BULLSHIT I happen to KNOW some of you get your rocks off to Oxford's extremely hot content, so TIP THEM

My message to all the horrid people appearing on the below podcast episode:

I am once again BEGGING Internet Revolutionaries to read Gramsci, Memmi, and Césaire instead of Marx

Scrooge McDuck is 💯 in the files

Jeffrey Epstein, hard at work

I downloaded an .ISO file of this old DVD that had every issue of Rolling Stone from its inception to 2007 on it I have no way of opening it, it seems I am bereft

The British press congratulationing themselves on bringing down Mandelson.

Look, I know we're all anxious weasels in a sack here on this site right now, but don't think coming after me for going to Harvard — a place I hated and now do everything I can to undermine — is going to be a winning tactic in an effort to change me

Yeah! How about that!!
