So, this is 40. 🎉🎉

Don't reverse course now just because they slightly caved. Keep the pressure on them.

Threatening the pocketbooks of corporations is always the right thing to do. It's the only language they understand or fear.

"What if, and hear us out, what if instead of really fighting against the fascism...we just embrace a lighter version that throws minorities under the bus?"

idk, i've managed to not use chatgpt or whatever a single time and still am somehow getting things done and doing well at my job bc i use things like: having conversations with other people! reading! my own brain to think of things!

DC Comics having their characters involved in a March Madness bracket beatdown feels more fun and creative than a lot of Marvel at this point. As a lifelong Marvel boy...it pains me to say such things.

It's the first DC/Marvel crossover we've gotten in two decades (what a different time that was!), so you better believe we had some thoughts!

It's a CXF monster jam as we take on Marvel/DC's Deadpool/Batman #1 comicsxf.com/2025/09/18/d...

None of this should mean you shouldn't take them seriously as a threat to our existence and way of life. But they aren't the overwhelming dark empire that has a chokehold on ever aspect of life they want you to think they are. They're a bunch of power mad idiots hoping the ride never stops.

Their gestapo gets run out of neighborhoods by angry citizens with cameras, they lose battles in court constantly, states have already taken steps to protect their citizens' rights. And they only get less popular. with more people aware and upset at them by the day.

It's easy to give into panic and there IS a ton of things to be afraid of right now and in the future But what I am holding onto is that the truth of the matter is that the current regime is incredibly unpopular and relying on projecting the image of overwhelming power because they don't have it

Be kind to yourself. Take time to enjoy little things where you can. A movie. A game. A book. Playing with your pet. And don't be alone. Reach out to your friends. Your loved ones. Your community. Plan activities. Do little video calls. It's important to remember you have folks with you.

Absolutely fucking insane

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Imagine relitigating "Would you kill Hitler" here in 2025. Wild. Just absolutely wild.

Oh hell no...

Stop fucking calling the right "Prolife". There is nothing pro or life about them.

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

I love that every obit piece about Robert Redford has at least one section about how goddamn handsome he was It is rare for someone to be so hot that every single respectful memorial of him, after passing at 89, has a dedicated "AND HE COULD *GET IT*" portion

You mean this was all a ploy to turn TikTok into a state-aligned asset? Omg who could have seen that coming?

Ezra Klein telling everyone in the theater to stop clapping when Darth Vader dies because he has a family and is misunderstood

It's never shocking to see stories "revealing" that athletes from various professional sports leagues have heavily right-wing leaning political and religious views. Sports and conservatism are deep in the bank together. The amount of right-wing athletes is wide. Especially in MLB & NFL.

All four of these teams won today btw

EDITORIAL: You can’t buy Red Hood, but you can buy plenty of other DC comics by others accused of worse comicsxf.com/2025/09/14/e...

So weird to argue that the X-Men are “about sanctuary not cages” when the current status quo has literally had the X-Men leave their fellow mutants in federal custody even after multiple opportunities to break them out.

So no, you don’t want to be an X-Man. If you were you’d probably be dead and or forgotten off page after a few panels in a group scene. You’d be surrounded by thieves, former villains, immortal murder machines, OCD control freaks, time traveling terminators and telepaths reading your thoughts

civility talk is respectability politics and i thought they didn't want to be political

2022 vs 2025 (School photo day edition)

"Scolding" aka "Telling liberals to stop throwing marginalized groups under the bus every five seconds and actually be the party that you claim to be through lying teeth"

Pete, they already have a Newsom. You're not gonna be president, buddy. (And hopefully, Gavin won't be either.)

2022 vs 2025 (School photo day edition)

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Of course it turned out to be a white conservative male. It's basically always a white conservative male. They're always eating their own.

What's DC's pitch to a prominent non-comics creator right now, especially from a marginalized background? "You'll get to write a superhero! For very little money! An insane fanbase will bay for your blood! And not only will we not defend you, we'll look for an oppurtunity to throw you overboard!"

I don't think you even have to like Gretchen to recognize that she, as a best-selling horror writer with an active following, was a get for DC comic. A DC comic was not a get for Gretchen Felker Martin

DC Comics has reprinted not one but two collections of Warren Ellis written Authority comics this year. For those who forget, Ellis sexually harassed/groomed/abused so many people the site about his actions is literally called SO MANY OF US. But tell me more about DCs moral fiber.

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

as others have said, it's interesting to note when companies like dc will cultivate queer talent and "queer voices" when it's profitable to do so and how easy it is for them to kick them to the curb because they'd rather not sacrifice their audience of nazis and nazi sympathisers

hmm and yet eddie berganza had a job at the head of the superman editorial office for Years after allegations of him being a predator were publicly known. and scott lobdell couldn't get enough work during the 2010s. and max landis kept getting gigs handed to him on a plate. and ethan van sciver. and

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.
