🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Was asked about what the most challenging parts of working in comics are and thought other people might find it helpful so I'm posting my response here.
- Our job is communication and entertainment, communicating a great story and entertaining our readers. But that also applies to the whole creative team: communicating well with each other and making sure each person on the creative team knows what they're doing, why they're doing it, and is appreciated for their hard work.

- Working on a monthly comic is not just working on one story/issue at a time. Because we have to send an issue off to print every 30 days (and many times even faster than that), there are 6 or more issues in production simultaneously: story planning, writing, page roughs, final line art, colors, letter proofing. Each one of those steps can involve constant back and forth with both the art team and editorial. It's a constant flow of new material and that doesn't even count marketing, variant covers, or other development.

Those are the biggest challenges: Being a good communicator, being organized, and keeping the end goal of engaging entertainment in mind while the deadlines are constant.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

Someone posted the image on the left this morning as a birthday tribute to Sophia Loren. It's AI. The image on the right is the original. When even Sophia Loren's natural beauty isn't good enough, something has gone very wrong. It's misogynistic and disrespectful. I called them out. They blocked me.
