Reminds me of when I got an X-Men encyclopedia at a Scholastic book fair. I had a trade of Claremont X-Men (#101-110) and wanted to dive right in Except it was published midway through House of M, so half the articles ended with “and then Scarlet Witch created a new reality, where they are now”

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Approaching this from a different angle: I didn’t read manga until my early 20s because starting series with several dozen continuous print volumes were more intimidating than a handful of largely self contained Big 2 comics. Arguably manga is easier than western comics to get into these days 1/

I think part of it is the show mixing the drama with the didactic. People need to realize that Robby justifiably complaining about insurance providers and antivaxxers doesn’t mean he can’t be flawed and biased and let that inform his actions

Finding out they found and removed a precancerous polyp during a colonoscopy is kind of like almost getting run over by a car: not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, glad you looked before it got serious, but still pretty unsettling! Seriously, all younger people need to get colonoscopies

I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help?
Anonymous User | 13:20:18
Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach.
Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current
= head while current: next_node = current.next
current.next = prev prev = current current =
next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time.
Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today?

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Israel’s holocaust of Palestinians reached a horrific new low today. No different than trains heading to gas chambers. Shame on everyone silent about this.

The bill has been approved. Israeli prisons will turn into guillotines for Palestinians.

Hundreds will be executed in the next few weeks. 9300 hostages now in Israeli custody.

Dark day for humanity. Unforgettable memory in the Palestinian cause history.

The Rowling comparisons to Anita Bryant are apt, and they always remind me of that issue of Howard the Duck where Bryant was depicted as a orange-headed violent cult leader obsessed with “decency” (and who Howard punches in the face at the end) Anyway Marvel hit me up I have a pitch

Anita Bryant as head of hard-right terrorist group SOOFI (“Save Our Offspring From Indecency”)

Her ultimate plan is to brainwash everyone into acting like a “upright citizen” of Dade County

Howard rocks her shit and realizes her identity

Bryant pleads with him: “A day without imposing my morality on someone else — is like a day without — well you know!”

Reread the last several chapters of Chainsaw Man after the ending, and after sitting on it, I think it works well, but there’s a vibe of “Fujimoto has complicated feelings about CSM’s success that impacted how it developed” that makes it feel more bittersweet than probably intended

I feel like I might be missing some cultural context here, but it’s really funny that the Shibuya Incident ends with Kenjaku summoning the Uzumaki from Uzumaki. Like I thought that was an edit at first, that’s just straight lifted from the manga

Kenjaku summons Uzumaki, which looks the dad who got cursed and died in the first chapter of Uzumaki
