they're now even pulling copaganda shows where feds infiltrate online groups to stop crimes instead of infiltrating online groups to egg people on lol
I read a piece earlier that said “imagine how MAGA would react if seatbelt laws were introduced today,” to which I reply: We don’t need to imagine
it's very weird to me still that that era, that Weird Twitter, is basically just dead now, with no real parallel anywhere
ME, AFTER A LONG DAY, NORMALLY: hello how was your day DARLING WIFE: have you seen Eric Adams' Rosh Hashanah outfit?
He showed me he films playing with his action figures on his phone so kind of

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Fevers are dangerous early in pregnancy and Tylenol is the only fever reducer pregnant people are supposed to take. In this freak’s mind, having a baby with congenital anomalies incompatible with life is *less bad* than having a child with autism
Relics, by Martin Lewis, 1928.
Mainstream newspaper op-ed pages are largely affirmative action programs for mediocre conservatives who could never hack it elsewhere. But it is remarkable how indistinguishable they are from one another. They parrot the same opinions in the same tin-eared, godawful prose. Impossible to tell apart.
I thought Berlatsky was still in their corner
men just want to come home after a long day of cartographing, open the tent flap, and hear "[SIGH] bapanada..."
this should have been obvious to any human being with even the most basic understanding of the technology and knowledge of the problem of induction lol
It's not even on pirate sites lol. did it get stealth cancelled??? I know that the first issue was, briefly, on amazon (I own that ebook, but the page now shows "not available," and no subsequent issues can be found on amazon at all).

I think her reporting on Biden was good. I think the people who covered for Biden are absolutely awful. But your colleague wasn't the target of a Biden Lib Conspiracy. She was the subject of mob-mockery.
Similarly, Smythe went viral because she fell in love with a deeply evil man who looks like a haunted doll. There's no conspiracy here; we just all occasionally find joy in this stuff.
it is funny that she wanted to fuck the guy who thinks the polio vaccine killed more people than polio, the guy who gets horny for rotting bear meat. plenty of scumbag journos fuck the people they cover, it's true, but it's the funny ones that go viral.
I'm sorry, but she went viral because it was funny. It was extremely funny that a professional journalist would risk her career to have an affair with a literally brainwormed conspiracy theorist over twice her age who looks and sounds like a walking corpse
(my review of the first issue: idk if the rest of the series will be like this, but it sets up essentially a retread of that Twilight zone episode, which seems like both a waste of the premise and a misunderstanding of the folkloric/ mythic traditions involved here)
Does anyone know why the BOOM comic BE NOT AFRAID was taken off Amazon (or at least the kindle version)? (Yes, I'm reading the Bernie Pot Roast Tweet Guy's new comic. It's a horror comic about nephilim, I can't not read it)
Schumer is not cutting the mustard
Near as I can tell it bans all pornography, has a section defining pornography normally, then has a section defining all depictions of trans people, drag, and cross dressing as also pornography. What am I missing here
Am I reading it wrong, or does the Michigan Porn Bill ban all streamers from offering She’s the Man and Some Like It Hot, even ban like half a dozen Shakespeare plays from ever being performed in the state
But Democrats were going to help trans people according to Blue MAGA
again: the views of Charlie Kirk are unpopular to non-chuds and every attempt to lionize him makes no effort to actually quote anything he said because *people know his views are unpopular, including those that sympathize with them* bsky.app/profile/aaro...
The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism." I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

I do not think ChatGPT should have the power to call the cops. I think, personally, that would be a bad thing
I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
I was mesmerized by the idea that something static can convey not only motion but also temporality, and I decided to test it empirically. It wasn’t an easy task, as the way our data was organized didn’t make it straightforward. But now, here is our paper! ♥️ www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
I want everyone to take a step back for a second, remember why she was fired from New York and juxtapose this w/ all the high profile media folks that have recently lost *their* jobs. *Some* people are allowed to fail upwards. It's mesmerizing.
angry conservative guy who looks up and then downloads "most popular video games among the RADICAL TRANS" to prove that video games are making people violent, but then just ends up getting sucked into stellaris
Ken will lead the revolution
out of curiosity, could you articulate the specific "core value" here? The two reads I can get are "Core Value: MAXIMIZE ROI" and "Core Value: do not invest energy into businesses," and both would be absolutely strange to label a "value"
I mean, I get it. when describing my core values, ROI is always right there leading the way.
at this point 16% seems extremely optimistic lol
It is fine for Hush 2: Absolute Edition to sit next to My Hero Academia. It's absurd for both to sit next to Maus and Perspeolis
Just as we have separate sections for American Literature, British Literature, Irish Literature, and Literature in Translation [and subdivisions for different language], so too should we separate Graphic Novels.
a hot take on a post that I can't reply to or quote tweet [should libraries shelve graphic novels and manga together?]: genre titles should be shelved together. literary titles in translation should be separated from literary titles not in translation.
This is so messed up.
does anyone know why Batman/Deadpool #1-- an anthology comic featuring a half-dozen crossover stories and one Amalgam-style character-- is called Batman/Deadpool #1 instead of DC/ Marvel or something? why limit the audience
now that I've read it, the context makes it worse to me lol. I get different readers, different takeaways, but in-context, the defining moment of this Steve Roger's life was deciding to put Hitler on trial instead of killing him, which is just wild to me
just incredible to be like "this is the defining moment of this character's life-- NOT killing hitler." almost as incredible as "putting hitler on trial is a great idea. that has never historically lead to terrible things, probably!!!"
people really undersold what was happening in the Cap/ Wonder Woman story. Steve Rogers looks back over his life and remembers the time Wonder Woman convinced him that it was wrong to kill Hitler instead of putting him on trial as the time she "saved" him lol
Where she succeeds!
Ok no need to guess, it's just text lol
So they got a trump, Prince Andrew, Mandelson and ig Kier Starmer for a bonus? Fucking sick that rules I love to see--touched earpiece--I have just been informed by station management that unfortunately the only people arrested for this were the cool ones who what projected this up there
I knew the polling on this gormless nothing would be hilarious
man.
99% of us have a relationship toward the media that is profoundly not equipped to meet the moment we are currently in
Deeply annoying that people are taking that transcript between the shooter and his roommate as fact right out the gate—the feds have been lying from the start so why is everyone just assuming this shit is real before it's been independently triple checked??
Most baffling part
I guess the alternative that Captain America and Wonder Woman are suppose to embrace is putting Hitler on trial [which, you know, did happen historically, and resulted in, uh, Problems]
oh my goodness
Truly insane post from The Federalist, which includes the recommendation that the government pressure tech companies to limit access to BlueSky because of the reaction to Kirk's death thefederalist.com/2025/09/15/w...
I know it's easy to give up on a day like this, but just remember: Chuck Schumer is out there Monday to Thursday, literally a couple of hours each day, making sure your healthcare bills are partially subsidized for a slightly longer window than previously anticipated
now hopefully it won't record any Goblins or Alien guys
How can we trick Gutfeld into saying his name backwards
oh, the plot would involve nightcrawler getting called into the papal conclave and being like "wtf? i thought the ordination was fake? and i was never a cardinal???" and then intrigue ensues
we're spending 12 issues explaining and retconing the nightcrawler priest stuff
they fundamentally do not understand their audience at this point. If they wanted to really bring in the people who care about award shows now, they'd have no caps on speeches, they'd air *all* awards, and the bits in-between would be video-essay style segments on the shows and tv history.
Filed under things I will never understand: Awards shows make all sorts of rules about the length of acceptance speeches, the potentially ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE memorialized for all of us on live television. But, the presenters can go 2-4x as long with a bunch of vapid pre-written jokes?
it's extremely funny that this comic is dropping this specific week
My review of VINELAND is I think Thomas Pynchon would dig the mountain goats
really incredible episode, guys. One that I'll never forget.
This week on Battle of the Atom, Zack and Adam talk about X-stories from the mid-'80s and early '90s that incorporate the incomprehensible idea that anything bad could ever happen to the Twin Towers. comicsxf.com/2025/09/15/b...

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?
um... sounds kind of heckin problematic to me... big red flags
You're not an X-Man, the X-Men are owned by a megacorp that forces its theme park workers to live in their cars
Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief
This is extremely bad faith. Kirk quoted Leviticus saying gay men should be stoned to death, then called it "God's perfect law." Pretending honest summarirs of these remarks such as "Charlie Kirk believed gays should be stoned to death" were false is itself dishonest and false.
there is this whole clique of people who simultaneously insist that liberals should have tougher skin and stop getting so upset about slurs and then also lose their minds when i say harsh words about their work or person
no noah, i wrote that post because i think you are a weird antisocial loser and i want you to know that
this is mostly a post about Noah getting mad that Bouie doesn't like him and thinking that this is a form of cancel culture
Anyway, the piece is here. Most of these assholes are still around over on X and YouTube, and the ones who aren’t have been replaced by identical versions: all still grifting off of outrage, still preferentially targeting cis and trans-women
I ended up getting a longer version of the piece in the Daily Beast, mostly out of spite, but I will never forget the feeling of watching a publication reflexively throw me under the bus because its editor in chief was getting yelled at by people with Reverse Flash avatars on Twitter
Back in late 2017, I was tentatively working on a story for The Atlantic about Comicsgate and the ways publishers weren’t adapting to their tactic of shrieking swarm attacks to get people fired. Which led to — and you will never believe this — a shrieking swarm attack that got me fired
KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: Gretchen Felker-Martin speaks out about DC Comics cancelling Red Hood, and her comments on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "I had no regrets." www.tcj.com/horror-it-gi...
trying to figure out why they thought "if u read this u r gay lmao" as a trans rights slogan, and my only thought is that some ATF guy going "sir? this has some similarities to 'hypno pornography.....'"
its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment
Remember: Civil discourse is when you encourage others to kill members of a marginalized group, violence is when you say you aren't sad that the guy who tried to get people to kill you is dead.
Jay, serious question, did you say this after the Hortmans were assassinated?
lol they're banning people for saying "rest in piss" under the guise that its a glorification of violence. it must be so funny being a bunch of right wingers in charge of the blue anon social media platform.
One thing Charlie Kirk's assassination has revealed is the extent to which the elite liberal media class has abandoned reality for a post-truth politics previously embraced by the right.
