Reposted by Paul O’BrienRob Ford @robfordmancs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Great thread and an important reminder that it isn’t just grifters like MattGPT churning out shoddy analysis of politics. But when the analysis fits the vibes of its intended readership, there is more celebration and less scrutiny. 35013

Reposted by Paul O’BrienCharles EP Murphy @cepmurphy.bsky.social · 30/08/2026One of the great things about this series is seeing the history of Marvel (and US comics in general) and the careers of the creators through the lens of what villains are considered suitable for a Daredevil story.
