Speaking of, after Powers 25 #6 I have to say it’s just like old times. New character, but classic Powers feel. good job team.

@kierongillen.bsky.social When we get The Power Fantasy Inaction Figures will the Etienne figure be of the real Etienne?

At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.
Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com · 12mo agoIt's amusing to observe Curtis Yarvin in this setting. He seems quite in love with the sound of his own voice. And most of his utterances are the sort of banalities you'd expect of a recent autodidact—wowed by the most superficial connections, and lacking deeper contextual knowledge.
So, @kierongillen.bsky.social I read the latest Power Fantasy and I have two questions: 1) Is that really ethical? 2) How many times has it happened before?
@brianmbendis.bsky.social @andrelimaaraujo.com I can finally read it! Just had to give up on Diamond delivering it and order it online.

#WeReadsComics This thing showed up in the mail. I think I’ll give it a try and see what it’s about.
@erinburnett.bsky.social You’re a disgrace and should be ashamed for liar and feeding the propaganda machine of the fascist regime. Of course you nazis have no shame. p.s. Don’t ever call yourself a journalist, you’re not.
Hey, @brianmbendis.bsky.social and @alexmaleev.bsky.social Any chance of an Absolute style book for Scarlet Series 2?
Reading World’s Finest #39 and Waid struck gold with Happy Batman. He needs to be DC staple. #WeReadsComics
Diamond continues to refuses to send Phenomena vol 3 to the store I go to. So, I’ll have to settle for the new issue of The Power Fantasy by some Gillen person and Caspar Wijngaard. I also have a slew of DC books by Mark Waid, which have been really good.

Elon Musk's DOGE has spent the last several months dismantling the departments & agencies that regulate HIS businesses. Our report found that Musk has a direct business interest in over 70% of the agencies & departments DOGE targeted. The conflicts of interest are endless.
I’m (re)reading @brianmbendis.bsky.social Daredevil run. I had stopped because I was missing a couple of issues and didn’t want to read it out of order. Someone found the missing issues for me, something I never had luck with, so I dug everything up to read from the start.

The most obvious thing about this is it is evil and sociopathic. But there’s another element: speaking as someone who has both prosecuted fraudsters and defended people very wrongfully accused of being fraudsters, it’s absolute bullshit. /1

@niuttuc.bsky.social Could you pass to the powers that be that the Commander Clash wrap-up video is set to private?
@saffronolive.bsky.social Hey, Seth, the Commander Clash wrap-up video is set to private.
#WeReadsComics Apparently Kieron got distracted again, so I’ll take it upon myself. This week I’m going with another oldie, Midnight Nation by J. Michael Straczynski and Gary Frank. Not sure what to say about without spoiling anything, so I’ll just say this: it’s one of favorite comics ever.
