The news about Katie Porter being a Klobuchar-level abusive, nightmare boss is the least surprising thing to anyone who has lived and worked in policy in DC in the past like 10 years.

Like, this is not new information, and I’m surprised that it never got much play outside the Beltway until now.

‘Get out of my f--king shot’: Katie Porter tears into staffer in newly released video

The former member of Congress, who is now running for California governor, also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president “a shit ton of money.”

Special shoutout to the scalper outside NYCC who called me “gay Venom” after I said that, no, I did not have extra tickets to sell.

Baby, they’re all gay Venom.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

My single Red Hood issue was the 15th best-selling comic of September, like out of all serialized comics in America. Incredibly funny.

The STARK difference between what Jim is saying here and what we got from The Man in the Hat playing around with Gemini a few weeks ago is stunning. Very refreshing to hear the most famous artist in comics speak out publicly against A.I.

Sebastian Druid: Whatchu up to, Ghost Rider?
Ghost Rider: Burning sinners with my Hellfire.
Sebastian Druid: What’s the difference between Hellfire and regular fire?
Ghost Rider: Hellfire is fire from Hell.
Sebastian Druid: So when you use Hellfire does that mean there is less fire in Hell?
Ghost Rider: If it ends this conversation, yes.
Blackheart: Why is this room always so cold?
Mephisto: Don’t touch the thermostat.

I enjoyed it as a huge Squadron fan, but I get why it wasn’t everyone’s taste, yeah.

Doctor Spectrum has been on my cosplay list for YEARS, but I feel like it only works with a Squadron Supreme group at, like, DragonCon or WonderCon or whatever.
