Just hilariously terrible. Briscoe was always like, “ugh this again.”

Ah yes one of those LAW AND ORDERS where they are dealing with the existence of gay people and their wild, wild lives.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

No. No, it doesn’t depend on the narrator.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

If Marvel/Disney can figure out a way to put WONDER MAN over, I will be really impressed.

Wonder Man has never once been interesting. Not ever. To older comics dorks, the idea of a Wonder Man movie is as nuts as a Guardians of okay yeah I see it now.

But seriously, the guy is ALWAYS boring.

Playoff baseball is as weird as sports gets. As a lad, I never thought I would fully embrace the wild cards era. In my dotage, I am like, “You have absolutely no idea what will happen. Betting on this shit is madness.”

I get home from a show, excited that the Mariners game is still on… until I realize to do not have Enough TV for the playoffs, even after buying more tv.

The greed of professional sports… Trump should have owned a football team. He could’ve gotten all of this out and the USA would be fine.

I still have not seen that documentary about how fucking weird it must be to be that guy. I have two issues of his self published comic sadly, they are mildly water damaged. Otherwise I would try to squeeze some right wing lunatic out of thousands of dollars for them.
