This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

can I use this as a blurb for my book

early career Alex Ross using his cachet to become insane yellow Bob Kane Batman Alex Ross is such a baller move

a lovely Rockwell-esque cover from Kurt Busiek and Ross's Marvels

an insane variant cover to Batman 900 where a bunch of tiny little villains are being menaced by an enormous uncanny pseudophotorealistic Bob Kane Batman. the main color being used is yellow

If you’d asked me to parody how silly and broken legal journalism is, I genuinely don’t think I could have come up with “so the best-known ‘nonpartisan’ Supreme Court outlet is now run by an ex-Trump DOJ flack who had her longtime personal friend Brett Kavanaugh officiate her wedding”

SCOTUSblog used to cover the Supreme Court. Now, it cheers for it.

If you happen to know who this Cornell

Congratulations to the Daily Beast for totally EXPOSING this day laborer from the Bronx who had the audacity to allegedly post a joke video about Nancy Pelosi on Facebook. Maybe you'll ruin his life! This is TRUE JOURNALISM in the public interest x.com/NoahShachtman/...

Got onto the fire escape briefly, licked a bird poop, ran back in, wolfed down some kibble, yelled, threw up, took a nap. A rich, full day

Your hands are covered in little men. And the little men can make you sick if you don’t give them a bath. Sometimes they make other people sick too. Please give the little men a bath! I’m not crazy! Just listen to me! Bathe the little men on your hands! This is real! Get the men wet, you fools!

The actor who plays the monster in The Fly is the same guy who plays the scientist at the beginning of the movie. Makes me wish i paid more attention lol. Time for a rewatch

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

exactly this. if we can no longer broadly agree, as a social unit of social creatures, that human endeavor and human dignity have worth and are in fact likely the point, why bother? what is this world we are constructing. why is anyone even walking around and going anywhere

Marvel's Premier Collection tries to address this and even there, most of the books are previews of much longer runs (that aren't available at the same trim size!). My picks: The Visions Marvel Boy (Morrison) Elektra: Assassin Welcome Back, Frank Fury: My War Gone By
