Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.

Michigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.

Today feels like a good day to write an appropriately angry (and hopefully cathartic) gay comic. 🌈

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Duuuude, if you haven't read any Dai Dark this seems like a pretty awesome way to start. Q is one of my favorite living artists. So much humor and love tucked neatly away in a story about a teenager who is relentless hunted by space pirates and cults because his bones can supposedly grant wishes.

Everyone's comparing Nolan's Odyssey to Homer, but I think there's much more richness The ancient Greeks adapted the Odyssey into ART While these images might appear static to us, I want to walk through how an ancient Greek saw art: AS DYNAMIC STORYTELLING like our films 1/13

UNION UPDATE: tl;dr Dark Horse leadership is attempting to reduce union membership by claiming supervisory status for Senior Editors, who have never been allowed management roles. 🧵

Sounds like my old friends in the Dark Horse Union could use all of your support right now. Please lend them your ears, and throw some love their way. If you are a comics creator, retailer, fan, or some other variety of decent human, you should be loudly supporting these folks.

🤣🤣 as I have been saying about the whole attempt to force the AI down our throats... It's been a confidence scheme the whole time. That's why you will hear them repeat narratives like "it's Pandora's box" or "learn it or be left behind" or "this tech will increase company profits by 20%"
