I am the wayward son of man My fathers have darkened What was the warmest heart the world would have ever known Relish in what you have created Deprived of life A formless shadow deprived of life Set your body ablaze RIP Chad Gilbert. I’ve never moshed harder in my life.

The Carey On reunion sets sets sound great. If you write a breakup song and play it a decade later, when you’re happily married, no one cares. I am fine with former-edge guys playing songs they wrote when they were 18. Opinions are going to differ, but I want to hear Roll with the Punches, live

Free Comic Book Day continues to exist, which is awesome. We should do it bigger and better. The big 2 should be doing everything they can to make sure this event is sustainable, memorable and meaningful. This is how we introduce people to the medium.

Not to be a buzzkill, but it's fascinating comics history. Sea monkeys were "invented" by Harold von Braunhut, who also invented X-ray Specs. He funded much of the Silver Age w/ his ads. He was also a Nazi and a top leader of the Aryan Nation! Weapons supplier to the KKK, too. Major scumbag.

There is a dark history behind the creator of the famous Sea Monkeys that we all loved as kids, and it might ruin your childhood.

"To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet." Omar El Akkad, ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS

Photo of a page from Omar El Akkad's ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS that reads:

The obvious charge of hypocrisy looms over this work, always. Refrain from engaging with one organization because of its ties to a genocide but not the uncountable number of other organizations who do as well? Call for divestment from fossil fuel companies and yet still use electricity? Agitate for a better world in any way and yet continue to exist within it?

The purpose of this kind of accusation is never moral concern. To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet.

When I train on civil resistance, one of the most important distinctions we make is between the popularity of the movement (which is almost always low) and the popularity of the proposition they’re advancing. The protesters themselves are almost never popular—which is totally fine.
