Terrorbytes is a tech horror series which, to me, feels ominously more relevant than it did even just one year ago as I was writing some of these issues. Read Issue 1 for free here.

Final order cutoff for Dog Tag #6, our grand finale, is NOW. Please let your local comic shop know you want one if you’ve been following the series and, if not, I hope you get it once it’s in book form. Very proud of this one and it seems, unfortunately, rather timely.

But it's not. It's a moment where German soldiers had to choose between being Germans or being Nazis. And the castle's defenders chose the former. It's a choice that's coming for a lot of people in other nations as we speak. The Nazis in this battle, as in every battle, were the bad guys.

Of course, no one did. Some even sent him responses courteously inviting Trump to fuck off, but it was a telling and prophetic glimpse into Trump's psychology. Small Potatoes: The Man Who Killed the USFL remains the single best documentary about Trump and what we all should have seen coming. 3/3

Flutie was not a highly sought after talent, but was hot in the news cycle, so Trump wildly overpaid to bring him to the USFL. Flutie was a dud, but Trump declared it a massive success and then sent every other USFL owner a letter asking that they contribute to Flutie's salary. 2/

At this point, the Republican ideology appears to be PR. Just tell people whatever you think will get them to agree to let you keep lining your own pockets and rigging the system to keep yourself in power.
