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

I didn't know Mamdani's wife was a comics nerd! New York, you have to vote for him now because I need at least one person in comics to have good health insurance.

Posobiec isn't a nazi in some generic rhetorical sense of having fascistic impulses or simply being far-right. He is a full-blown Hitler-loving Jew-hating mask-off literal capital-N Nazi, with a longstanding public record to match.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

At this point im starting to wonder if hearing the words “purity test” are a dogwhistle because the most shit opinions in the universe will almost always immediately follow it

Un-fucking-believable. Swap out "trans rights" with the name of ANY non-white ethnic group and you'll see how ludicrous and cowardly this kind of moderate Liberalism sounds.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

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.

Honestly, it's select vegetables and fruits older Filipinos like that are my hard "no thank yous." Like, we got something called Bittermelon (aka Ampalaya) and that is extremely truthful advertising, bleh

A European company basically saying "the US is too racist for us to make an anti-slavery, anti-Klan game". Things are Great Again!

Three sources told Game File that word filtered through the company last July that management in Paris had stopped development of the game for two reasons: 1) online backlash that spring to the reveal of Yasuke, a historically-inspired Black samurai, as a protagonist in the company’s then-upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows; and 2) concern that the political climate in the United States was becoming increasingly tense.

“Too political in a country too unstable, to make it short,” one source familiar with the game and its cancellation told Game File.

And to be clear, I super understand if folk are opposed to eating it too! Like, I try to avoid veal. But I do kind of feel like it's my duty to de-mystify it. Growing up Filipino basically means growing up on the defensive when folk see like, a third of the cuisine

Yeah, in spite of the look, it's extremely easy to consume, nothing is far along the development cycle to make it literally dangerous to ingest.
