My newsletter has been sent! Somehow I've managed this three months in a row, a record, despite doing this for ten years.

Please pay attention.

This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage.

Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.

Reading DC's May 2026 solicits and I see we're making a return to the days of "Do women have bones? We just don't know" style of anatomy on some of these variant covers. Honestly this is just embarrassing.

"For the Man Who Has Everything" completely fails to deliver on its own premise and is grossly sexist besides. (The Black Mercy is an A+ concept that should be used way more, though.)

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

You're right and also he'd be the most competent member of the administration by a wide margin. Also I just imagined the Vanity Fair portrait and now I can't stop laughing.

People joke about Batman and orphans but Ollie sees any Young Person and immediately calls them kiddo and makes them chili. See also Red Canary who I'm pretty sure he didn't even exchange dialogue with before being like "THIS IS MY DAUGHTER." He doesn't even know her name!

The comments are all worrying about how Ollie can breathe in space but, um, it's obvious? Spacesuit arrow.

Meanwhile I give it maybe 20 minutes before he attempts to unofficially adopt both Galaxy and Dreamer, as he does to anyone under 25 who strays into his orbit.

This painting shows Huey, Dewey, and Louie laying snuggly in an inner tube with a blanket of them. Donald is pouring hot water into the inner tube and we can see light reflecting off all of them from the fire place. There is a newspaper leaning against the inner tube and the headline says "Blizzard Tonight."
