Alan Moore came up with the core idea for Marvelman when he was 13, and published a short comic featuring a Warpsmith (as a "Warp Wizard") and the Qys in high school ("Once There Were Daemons" from his poetry magazine Embryo) sewermutant.com/alan-moores-...
…credible and horrific allegations against trump from the latest Epstein files release amid ongoing oppression of trans people and genocides and rising fascism.

Who cares what uncle Fred believes when you've got a bunch of people in power who cooked their brains on social media, a bunch of people in power afraid of people who cooked their brains on social media & bunch of news stations that have to produce news attractive to ppl with cooked brains.
Related point, if you are in misinformation research and have been launching study after study to see what Uncle Fred thinks after seeing misinformation PLEASE listen to what @katestarbird.bsky.social and I have been saying for years: effects on elite and official action is what matters most.
Just saw Grant Morrison refer in passing to "The Andrew formerly known as Prince" and I thought you all should know about that delightful phrasing.
You open a new tab on Edge at work and you see national headlines from NY Post. Your doctor’s office is a Sinclair owned local station or Fox (or soon CNN). TikTok and Meta algos have been skewed. It’s the oxygen, and sets the frame for how normal people process events and just general disposition
John and I dive into the comics anthology that put Alan Moore on the map sewermutant.com/podcast-alan...
you could pluck 100 stories off the newswires about the CBS/Netflix/Warner triangle and not one of them would make the corruption aspect clear
What a gorgeous new typeface. www.futurefonts.com/chaos-type/a...
You might not have heard of Alack Sinner, but your favorite crime comic was probably inspired by it sewermutant.com/comic-book-c...
Let me know what else we should cover. So far we're planning on: The Death of Captain Marvel, Ronin, Swamp Thing, and ElfQuest.
Whoa, more Sewer Mutant already! This time we dive into Alack Sinner. Way back in 1975 Carlos Sampayo and José Muñoz were doing a crime/PI comic that feels modern in practically every way, from its leftist politics to its groundbreaking storytelling. sewermutant.com/podcast-alac...
As others have said, mostly work wear. Also popular, or at least used to be, with skateboarders. So it would signify blue collar work and/or skatepunk.

You can see Muñoz's influence all over comics: Frank Miller, Ted McKeever, Dave McKean, Sean Philips, and more. Keith Giffen got himself in trouble swiping from Muñoz.
Next up: Warrior Magazine, the comic anthology that put Alan Moore on the map with Marvelman and V for Vendetta.

Turned my thing about the similarities between the Golden Age of comics and the Dark Age into a full article: sewermutant.com/dark-side-go...
Fearmongering for years about cartels & human trafficking & elite pedophile rings so they could gain power to specifically do cartel human trafficking bankrolled by an elite pedophile ring…
“Every accusation is a confession” has held true no matter how far you zoom out of the right-wing project.
No pearl as perfectly round as the Venn diagram of “material conditions the right has directly created in the US” and “things the right has specifically fearmongered about ‘third-world’ ‘shithole’ countries”
Warheads (the Marvel UK characters)
However poor an effort this, how laughably illegal: this is an attempt to criminalize journalism. That Black journalists were targeted to be painted as “criminals” is obvious.
I've seen fragments of this reported or mentioned elsewhere, but no one laying it out like this: newrepublic.com/article/2051...
Wherein I briefly outline the similarities of the Golden Age of Comic Books (1938-1956) and the Dark Age of Comic Books (1985-2000): Killer heroes, weird anti-heroes, and a boom and bust cycle. youtube.com/shorts/h1xK_...
Need something fun to listen to this weekend?

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

This is a straight-up #dungeonsynth song, like, I have heard these exact textures on dungeon synth albums. In 1986, Ray Lynch predicted the exact aesthetic that a certain type of indie game soundtrack would be going for, and he did it on an album called Deep Breakfast
