One beautiful aspect of my new house is that there's a certain time of day when sunlight filters down through the skylight to majestically illuminate a traveling stretch of the floor with a shining glow of "here's where you didn't vacuum very well."

Phantasmo came out at around the same time. Maybe earlier? But Mighty Man predates them both. There may be someone earlier, but this is just off the top of my head.

More probably it was just the staffer trying to ape his words. Or maybe it was AI, for once actually sounding more sane than the person it was emulating.

Right? Absolutely no way he can reach that level of coherence. And no capital words? No insults? It's laughable to think he wrote that.

It's supposed to reach nearly 100 degrees today and I'm writing in a cafe and I'm legit COLD. They are cranking the HELL out of their air conditioner. I'm going to walk outside and collapse on the sidewalk. If you see me there, either carry me home or flip me over so both sides get grilled.

Imagine if the NYT defended trans people instead of attacking them. Imagine if the NYT refused to platform bigots and insurrectionists. Imagine if the NYT actually covered local New York City politics and news. Imagine if the NYT had a public editor.

I love this stuff. Return to me, my X-Men! I feel like I should write a huge run of X-Men that's just about their daily lives.

To me, my X-Men! Today's comic from my collection is this copy of X-Men #1, from September of 1963. First appearance of Prof. X, the Beast, Angel, Magneto, Jean Grey, and Iceman, but unfortunately NOT the first appearance of X-Men HR Offices, so Jean could report basically everyone for harassment.

Hot dang! I finished my SALLY THE SLEUTH write-up in the Public Domain Loves section of my website! I've been working on this EARLY (pre-Superman, and rather risqué) adventure strip write-up for a while! Enjoy!

Now I'm home and away from the Awakened Mind Guy, but I wanted to add that--as I was leaving--he was talking about his 100% effective method of curing all racism: Just stop thinking about it.

It sounds funny written down but I assure you listening to it first-hand is SIZZLING my mind in molten lead.

I wouldn't know if he did. Let's say "yes" for fun, though.

I need to leave. Like, I have work to finish, and I CANNOT STOP LISTENING if I'm here. (PS: The woman is currently talking about her telepathic experiences and how they summon "squid people" to watch her from the darkness: I'm glad these two have found each other) I'm running from the truth, now.

The question came up and the answer is...they just floated. But it was SO normal that nobody ever thought to mention it in any literature.

I'm not really catching what he's saying now, but I think that--the last time he astral projected--he had a cigarette in his hand and accidentally astral-projected the cigarette into his friend's head and his friend caught brain cancer and that's why he doesn't astral project anymore.

He refers to death as "reinterpretation of deconstructed energy."

He is BATSHIT CRAZY, while she is only batshit crazy. So she's arguing for a level of only 70% insanity. And (I'm kinda glad you asked) she's challenging him to astral project RIGHT NOW, and he's declining because--although he CAN--he's had problems with attacks by hidden powers while projecting.
