Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.
One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.
This is a tough one. Gib Bickel was a true light, one of the guys who really made Columbus a great city for comix.
The Lauging Ogre shrugs off the insular stereotype of a comic store and is a hub for creativity and storytelling of all types.

my experience is that only maybe 30% of people are actively cruel (which is plenty). the majority are 'doing their best' and outwardly helpful but maybe half of those are some combination of lazy, irresponsible, dumb, selfish, insensitive or incurious so that they hurt people incidentally
At @io9.com, I spoke with Rick Veitch, Tom Mandrake, Vince Locke, and more for an oral history of the most heretical DC comic of all time, now rising from its tomb after 40 years.
Absolutely devastated to hear of Gib Bickel’s passing. Comics lost one of its own today.
Rest easy, friend.
A fancy fellow!
I unironically believe this. If you're in charge of deciding what is THE LAW, and you hold that position for life, you should have to give up all of other pursuits and dedicate yourself fully to doing nothing but that, without anything else to distract you or influence you.
Happy Superman Day!
Superman is one of the best characters, supporting cast, and narrative setups in comics. Love that guy. Can't wait until he's fully back in the public domain where he belongs
“There came a time when the old gods died! The brave died with the cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!”

✨ Congratulations! You must be excited — a horse is a wonderful, thoughtful, and unique gift. Here are some things to bear in mind:
• Look it in the mouth. You can learn a lot about the horse’s age, health, and aesthetic appeal from its mouth and teeth — just be careful not to let it bite you!

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
"Fandom deserves to be taken seriously" I actually can't think of anything more desperately in need of being taken LESS seriously.
Yes, my life has been spent sticking up for genre in literature circles, and for literature in genre circles, lol
Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:
Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.
Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"
Lee shoulda been taken out of that room after he signed the surrender documents, given a 15-minute trial before a military tribunal, and immediately hanged.
If it had gone down that way this would be a very different fucking country right now, that I can tell you. bsky.app/profile/cwmo...
A contemporary portrait of Old Nash
General George Armstrong Custer
Sgt. Noonan is the guy behind Custer
Private John Burkman
"We was flabbergasted!" wrote General Custer's orderly John Burkman regarding the shocking revelations surrounding the death of "Old Nash", Custer's Mexican laundress.
This is the sad story of Old Nash & her husband Sgt. John Noonan...
Thread by Jesse Hamm:
There's a type of person who is smart and gifted, and learns from early childhood to aim for the stars, because "nothing is impossible."
When life's constraints prove otherwise, this person is crushed. Unable to bend and accept flaws, they break.
Comics attract this person
We can do this the easy way--throw Trump and Musk under the bus as deserved and let everyone else slink off. Or we can do this the hard way--tax every American billionaire into oblivion and have the IRS crawling through every crevice in every yacht. I know which choice I'd prefer if I were Bezos.
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
talent doesn't exist. everything that looks like talent is high-level skill expression.
you can learn to draw, paint, write, sing, dance, code, etc...
some things will come easier to you, and you need to do reps to be good, then great at it.
don't let the myth of talent stop you, start today.
Folks, I transed my gender. My whole gender! And here I am, running on estrogen with a whole vagina that's mine. Childhood me would think I am MAGIC. Childhood me would be AMAZED.
If that's possible, EVERYTHING is possible.
We will survive them. We will defeat them. We can do MIRACLES.
