Makes me think Stan had never read an FF comic, which, to be fair, he might not have.

I’m sorry l, but I had been assured that The Modern State Is But A Committee For Managing The Affairs Of The Entire Bourgeoisie and I am seeing little evidence of this. Is there someone I could speak to?

'Hawkeye' Head Writer on What Superheroes and Mad Men Have in Common and How Hamilton Inspired the In-Show Musical Hawkeye head writer Jonathan Igla on Clint's hearing loss, Rogers: The Musical, the spinoff Echo, and how the show connects to Mad Men.

A funny connection from after the fact:

It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

Important and correct by @polphilpod.bsky.social Toby Buckle at @liberalcurrents.com Liberal Currents.

The "all conservatism was always already Trumpist and fascist" line is ultimately a way to normalize Trump, and should be resisted.

They're 90s foreshadowing.

So many Marvel books were really good at right this moment.

They left him actually dead for so long that his resurrection in Krakoa felt legitimately special.

Ye Olde Body Shoppe, also never explained. Like, why does the character from the Longshot series become the body-horror specialist in screwing around with the X-Men and their enemies, long before Longshot becomes an X-Man?

How long do they think that fight over in UXM lasted for? It was minutes, not hours...

I've said this before, but I never understood what Spiral was doing with Freedom Force.

I mean, especially because, as she notes, it's WOLVERINE.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Filing deadline in OK is April 3. If Rand Paul wanted to do something awesome he’d wait until after April 3 to hold a hearing. That way either Mullin doesn’t file for reelection & also risks not being confirmed, or hedges & files for reelection, clears the primary, & could leave Repubs w no nominee

But there's a specific problem with Rand Paul, who chairs the relevant committee.

It'll be interesting to see whether Mullin confidently resigns his Senate seat or nervously waits to see how confirmation hearings go.

Reza Pahlavi Junior's counterexample illustrates well what I mean when I say that personally I actually find Bonnie Prince Charlie a more compelling figure than most exiled princes. Unlike the typical scenario, he at least actually put his life on the line.
