Skip Avengers 200. Your soul will thank you for that. If already too late, apply as many rereadings of Avengers Annual 10 as needed to cleanse the soul.

READ THIS! (only Entertainment Tonight reported the Charlie Kirk connection)
It exposes the reality of American culture.
In the mah-gah-era, it’s a cesspool of corruption, cruelty, incompetence, pride, ignorance, death and destruction… and it’s coming for ALL OF US.

A reminder that Johnson needs to swear in Adelita Grijalva and release the Epstein files. Instead, he's sent the House home.

Yep. Intelligence allows us to share views with someone and yet also be able to recognize that some of what they say is twaddle and call them on it.

They’d burn flags with people tied to stakes above them if they thought they could get away with it. But anyone else? Nah.

Maybe our outlook would improve if we started to clearly see that TFG and his administration goons are about as smart as villains from a Sid & Marty Krofft production.

They’re only seemingly effective or competent when you play their game exactly as they set it up.

Time to flip the game table

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

I’d be a liar if I said the event of the week wasn’t issue #25 of Conan the Barbarian, featuring Alex Horley painting the entirety of a King Conan yarn by Jim Zub … this is fantastic. about as gorgeous as the old boy’s ever looked, like he stepped right off a paperback book cover. should win awards.

Conan the Barbarian #25, cover by Alex Horley. King Conan is about to have his shit rocked, boy howdy.

Conan the Barbarian #25, by Jim Zub and Alex Horley. A nice page of King Conan just chilling in the garden and playing swords with his pal.

Conan the Barbarian #25, by Jim Zub and Alex Horley. Centerspread of Conan looking as good as he ever has. My dude. He’s just wasting a whole battlefield full of fighters. Absolute wreckage with a sword and an axe.

Conan the Barbarian #25, by Jim Zub and Alex Horley. Conan has been crucified, with nails, by an evil monkey wearing a cape accompanied by a giant snake just chilling in the background. My god. What a comic. That we should live to see such wonders.

In the beginning there were no men, no gods, not even time itself had been conjured up. There was only the sea. A cold sea, of milky colour, charged with the essence of life, licking the rocks of a dry land, empty of all that would be.

I’d like to believe this…but I’ve been here before. The two impeachments. The Mueller Report. Countless other lawsuits and such.

Until that rancid team of enablers and he are dragged out of the White House in handcuffs, I won’t believe that the country is safe from his corrupt psychopathy

"I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading. As one told me, 'this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no want wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.'"
