I wrote that book about 'Josie and the Pussycats,' and I'm working on a couple now about 'Legends of Tomorrow' and 'The VelociPastor.'

My day job is at Paramount's ComicBook.com

Worth thinking about: Would you rather a July 4 celebration be concerts in the park and bbq’s, or compulsory parades of military equipment down Pennsylvania Ave and forced praise of the president as he makes speeches about his own greatness? Help choose the celebration you want to see next year.

There's a helicopter circling overhead with one of those recorded messages playing over and over, but there's something wrong with the recording so it keeps slowing down and getting really deep and then really high and fast over and over as it circles. Nightmare fuel

I know where the “Say No To Doomerism!” is coming from, but I want folks to make sure they aren’t slipping into some toxic positivity remix. Shock and sadness are among the reasonable responses to the situations we face. And those feelings can exist with others, it’s not always either/or… 1/

I still don't think he would, as the Democrats don't understand the rules keep changing. That said, I would 100% support him -- win or lose -- going bonkers immediately after the election.

See, I embraced my dad's music from a young age, so at least I was never thrown by that. Being 12 in 1992, my 7th grade music teacher asked if I would teach the lesson one day...because it was about Bob Dylan.

My wife is 5 years younger than me, and I don't have the "is that legal?" problem because she is profoundly more mature than me. BUT, I did realize almost immediately that those 5 years mean we have shockingly few shared cultural experiences growing up. It's wild how much changes in how little time.

Kevin Roberts believes he’s a noble defender of “real America” against a totalitarian “woke,” “globalist” assault from without and within.

“Project 2025” is his declaration of war on multiracial pluralism.

I wrote about his extremist worldview here:

I only ever heard a couple he did! On Live 75-85 and then the "Til We Outnumber Em" tribute record. There was a pretty solid Woody Guthrie cover album by Dropkick Murphys a couple years back!

Superman was created in 1938, so it's not possible for his creator (who died in 1996, aged 81) to be 61 years old.

It's very similar to what happened with Warren Ellis (although Ellis always marketed himself as a "mad bastard" and not the nicest guy you'd ever want to have tea with, so it shocked people less).

There's also numerous practical problems with that idea. Leaving aside that Biden never WOULD do it, there's the reality that doing so would be an electoral disaster for Democrats (such ethical issues don't seem to be a problem for the GOP electorate, which creates an impossible double standard).

The obvious way "Absolute Power" (the new DC Comics event) makes any kind of narrative sense is if the whole event is a mass hallucination being brought on by Waller and the Coluan. (Queen Brainiac? Kid Brainiac? I dunno.) But if it was that, the readers who enjoy the event would LOSE IT.

Even if it fails, Heritage - whose president just threatened mass violence on TV if anyone opposes the judicial coup - is planning a massive push to deny any wriggle room with nominee selection. The people who treat this like some genteel debating society with comity and deference are failing us.

I mean look at that subhead/tease. "Amid signs of dysfunction, Chief Justice John Roberts reasserted his authority, while the influence of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito wanes." All they care about is the damn horse race. Not the elevation of the president as king. It's unconscionable.
