When I was 6, my school had a magazine drive. My mom bought me a subscription to Amazing Spider Man, by Roger Stern and John Romita The 1st issue delivered was #237. Getting comics in the mail was like Christmas every month. Over 40 years later I still have those issues.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

PHILLIES WIN!!! They tied a franchise record with 8 home runs Edmundo Sosa hit three of them. Kyle Schwarber hit two Jesús Luzardo went 7 innings and collected 10 Ks First round bye is secured

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Why I love comics. Thank you @gailsimone.bsky.social

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Bryce Harper you are UNREAL

Has Gambit ever run the entire gamut of gauntlets, while wearing gauntlets? @merriam-webster.com @gailsimone.bsky.social

i’ll never get over how blatantly and proveably lying is one of the best political strategies of the modern age

GREAT thread in writing and really just making life choices in general.

After a LONG hiatus, feels great to be writing again! I outlined a new novel this weekend, and write the first 1,000 words this morning. Here we go! #amwriting #writingcommunity

On this day in 1959, Hal Jordan took flight for the first time – and his journey skyrocketed from there. I’m beyond excited for you all to see what’s in store for him in Lanterns, coming next year!

An homage to a secret Tuscan recipe, this 45-minute vegetarian ragù tastes like it’s been simmering for hours. It's one of our most popular recipes of the year so far. https://trib.al/wlKccbP

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
