Joe Biden had one bad debate and the entire Democratic Party kicked him to the curb in a weekend.
Chuck Schumer fails us every day and Democrats act like there’s nothing they can do?
Call your Democratic Senators and demand that Schumer step down as Minority Leader.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Matt Braly has revealed that his feature film, co-written with Rebecca Sugar, has been scrapped at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

Mike Flanagan will write and direct a new film adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Mist’ for Warner Bros
It follows a group of people locked in a grocery store after a mysterious fog emerges that hides deadly creatures

Today marks 5 years since #RadiantBlack #1. This book has meant the world to me and reignited a love for comics that I thought I had lost. I can’t wait to see what the next five years will bring and what is next for the Massive-Verse!

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Gatekeepers suck. Someone posted some really great Ghostbusters fan art of Egon and their original character and the comments are getting downvoted. Let young, creative people into your fandom man. Let them enjoy it however they want to enjoy it. It's only good for you in the long run.

Prodigy rules. I would kill for an art book
There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.
It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.
If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...
Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable
The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.
