The term leader is used very, very loosely here.

You and the majority of Democrats in DC are feckless! All talk but no substantial action. Please step down and let a true leader take your place.

I LOVED the history lesson in the beginning. Thanks for including that. I wasn't too familiar with the Legion and then a friend convinced me to check out the Legion archives that featured Cockrum and Grell. I was hooked and read everything then. I made sure to intro him to this podcast.

Another great episode! RE: the Doctor Mid-Nite scene. I did read that as the nurse was his partner. Nurses typically don't call doctors by their first name.

This is probably my favorite comics podcast. And they focused on two of my faves recently: the Spectre and Wildcat.

Was binging @outcasters.bsky.social and almost up to date there. I just started the Long Live the Legion podcast. I've come to realize when it comes to comic podcasts, I like the hosts to place things in a historical context not just view with modern standards.

Recently did a focus on Jim Aparo on my Tumblr. Yes, I still post there. I was really impressed with his work at Charlton.

Jim Aparo's art from the origin of Nightshade in Captain Atom 86. Written by Dave Kaler and published by Charlton Comics. Nightshade is practicing judo before switching to her identity of Eve Eden.

Tell it!

Dave Zirin @edgeofsports.bsky.social · Jul 24

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

The reason why there was a similar split within the group. I forget what she wrote exactly but I remember thinking that's not accurate.

Lito Sandoval @litosandoval.bsky.social · Jul 5

But her few lines on ACT UP/SF are not accurate.
