Over on the bad place, I started a pinned thread inspired by hitting my 65K issue milestone in my comics collection. Now at 85K, I've decided to rescue that thread and bring it over here.

Here are some highlights of my collection:

NEW EPISODE! In 1984, DIC Entertainment released one of the shortest running shows of #SaturdayMorning: WOLF ROCK TV. Considered to be #LostMedia, this is the story of it's creation, cast, and how it was found. Give a howl for the Wolfman, baby!

Before Xitter went to hell, I actually considered starting an account called Unsolicited Dick Pics and posting a Dick pic every hour.

So Qatar went from "funding terrorism" in 2017 to "come and build a military base here" in 2025.

Although I guess the "funding terrorism" part is still true...it's just now they're funding the domestic terrorists known as the Repuglican party.

In 2017, Trump publicly accused Qatar of funding terrorism.

Today, the regime announced that Qatari pilots will train at a U.S base in Idaho.

I’m sure Bondi’s established and well-documented relationship with Qatari leaders & investors has nothing to do with this, or the plane. Total coincidence

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Argentina gets $20 billion. Qatar gets an air base on US soil. Dipshit gets nearly $1 billion to retrofit his flying bribe. ICE gets $11.25 billion added to their annual detention budget.

But our enlisted personnel are currently hitting up food banks to fucking eat because they aren't getting paid.
