Gonna stop being so political all the time, instead, here are good comic ideas I have had:
Zatanna is dating a slight of hand stage magician who has 1 stupid trick Batman can't figure out. It's a one shot and we follow Bruce's rapid deterioration as his detective work can't crack it
The only thing I've really enjoyed about Batman's relentless media omnipresence over the last forty years is his butler being repeatedly retconned into an increasingly stone cold professional killer. Another decade or two and Alfred Pennyworth will be wanted by the ICC for war crimes.
I'm sorry what? You're telling me 7 ft tall Big Barda is 250lbs? That's some bullshit right there. Wonder Woman is 250, Barda gotta be 3 spins at least!
My grandfather moved here as a child from mexico. If you go past my great grandparents, the reliability of Marvel's continuity is far greater than government records
You know what's odd about this question: The easiest answer is Kendrick Lamar, because he won a pulitzer and it's defensible. But we don't really credit rappers who are, for lack of a better term, non-academic. Like, 2 Chains is out here doing some crazy shit. So are Run The Jewels
It depends. A real problem with rap, (maybe all music?) is that there seems to be a real fear of calling anyone who isn't extremely serious a Great Lyricist, but Kendrick is a very defensible choice.
Dolly's sister terrifying everyone by asking for prayers because Dolly is a little croupy feels extremely inline with the kentucky/tennessee portion of the south people.com/dolly-parton...
How do you think you get hired to be the guy in disney animated pitch meetings whose only question is: "But the mom is a smoke show with a fat ass, right?"
For the record, I DO NOT recommend laughing at men with their hands on assault rifles, but I DO think confronting fascists with vulgarity and absurdity is a pretty solid tactic
Fash street thugs want to fight to show toughness, but clowns are a step too far. If they win against the clown, the best they can say is they beat up a clown. But if they lose? Even if it's a %1 chance... there's no coming back from that
So, one time at a protest of a 3% rally, I saw squads of guys walking around with assault rifles and I looked at them a laughed, because objectively, being shot by a guy with an AR at a peaceful protest in a safe, liberal city would be a funny way to go for me, and they were clearly wierded out
Every time this shit starts up I like how tech reporters are shocked that people don't want to have cameras and microphones constantly pointed at them so some dweebs can do real time price-comparisons for prickly pears or some bullshit.
Just kidding, they're trying to record upskirt videos
Because they have died under every previous democratic candidate, and moving further from the milquetoast, lip service defenses of trans people that the dems have offered in favor of silence is probably not going to increase their safety.
Just so we are all clear on this: Long-Horizon Strategy is code for "Many of them will have to die".
Personally, I find advocating for the expendability of marginalized groups to not be a super positive thing to do, but I'm not like, a political brain genius or anything
I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
