I saw Wilber in ICE detention yesterday, in a wheelchair with a bullet still in his body. Here’s what’s next: He needs surgery. And ICE needs to cooperate with the independent investigation.

To carry on as normal while children are massacred and starved from Sudan to Palestine, while paedophiles are free to operate at the highest levels of power, is not just disgusting.
It is morally abhorrent.
And if you can look at all of this and carry on as normal, then you are part of the problem.

I never met Harlan Ellison, but I have read enough of him, about the sort of person he was, that I feel confident in saying that he would have HATED generative AI and that he would have HATED this. I’m open to being wrong (though I doubt my stance could be disproven), but I seriously doubt I am.

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

I’ve said this before but… The biggest reason King Shark has had many different interpretations with none becoming definitive is because the most important thing about him (other than an insatiable appetite to eat people) is that he’s Kanaka Maoli. And no one knows how to write Hawaiians.

Third straight day at work where it’s super slow (which is rare) and not wasting time working on Power Shark. Hit the flow state for a stretch and man, I was reminded why I want to do this full time. I can’t wait to show you guys Power Shark #0.

Fawcett's Captain Marvel, a pioneer in the superhero genre, was likely the first superhero to do a thunderclap in the comics. Usually a move that's more associated with the Hulk, Captain Marvel was making waves with it in the 1950's. (Captain Marvel Adventures #149 [August, 1953])

Pop quiz! Below are ten abilities that Captain Marvel and Superman both have (or had). Correctly guess who had them in the comics first. The first person to guess all ten correctly will win a hardcover copy of Shazam!: Power of Hope. DM me with all of your answers (do not post here). Good luck!

One good thing about that whole earring shenanigans with Supergirl (which was ridiculous) is that it sparked some genuine questions. One was, ”Forget pierced ears; how does Superman have big muscles? What on earth is providing enough resistance for him to lift regularly?” The answer to that is…

When the AI bubble pops, every AI company will beg for a bailout and say AI is “too big to fail.” These companies tried to replace the artists, writers, workers, teachers, and journalists whose work they stole. They will demand you save them so they can take your job, too. Can God get a hell no?

Bought the DC Encyclopedia today and while I was looking through King Shark, I read this. It’s well past time to retcon the name, “Chondrakha” out of existence. It’s massively disrespectful to Kamohoali‘i, who is one of our most beloved deities and the brother of Pele and it’s not Hawaiian at all.

Data centers’ diesel backup generators are emitting pollutants that can cause health problems for residents. That’s on top of contributing to higher electricity prices and sucking up communities’ water. Is it any wonder communities across the country are organizing to stop them?

Oh, Stemot. Yeah, he’s still awful. I once shared an another fan’s fan-made edit of Henry Cavill’s Superman costume where the colors were brighter, more saturated and he was given trunks. I said it looked way better. And Stemot told me to drink bleach. (Or something to that effect.)
