Writer, mostly re comics these days. Paternal grandfather Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson founded the company that became DC Comics. We need to be informed and resist but it's also vital to continue to create in the face of destruction.

Then there's the medium size publisher who has the money and tells you, your book isn't selling therefore no royalties. Then several years later when you make an order to buy some of your books, you are told there aren't any left. We're all family bs until you ask for $ and then he's a nasty lawyer.

Thanks for posting. Local information is absolutely pathetic. I have searched all over the internet for succinct information. Local news is behind paywalls, county governments have poor information and the map is ridiculous and hard to read.

There is a primary in Virginia June 17 for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and House of Delegates. Early voting is available through June 14. As usual there is almost no information about any of the candidates other than Abigail Spanberger (D). More information is needed!

I've had personal experience with one of their facilities that abutted a family property. I loathe and despise them. Their facilities are often down a rural road in the middle of nowhere surrounded by prison fencing. The stench is gross with swarms of flies. Enjoy your eggs from Cal-Maine.

He is such an alcoholic. Everything about him. His lies, his blustering, his complete lack of control, his nasty vicious attitude. I especially like the tell of him opening his eyes wide when he's lying.

Some heroic person should check out their almost secret high security facility in Baldwin County AL. I know from personal experience that it is highly unlikely they are following any kind of protocol for the life of the chickens or healthy processing. The farmers that abut them loathe them.

I don't know about anybody else but I'm ready for the part of the novel when the villain gets what he/she deserves. That goes double for his stupid posse circling around on their horses in some drunken fashion shooting at anything that moves including themselves.

This photograph is by Gordon Parks from a group of photos he took in 1956, mostly in Alabama, I think. They're phenomenal. I've only seen a few. I'd love to see the entire group. And please, we cannot go back.

DC Founder, Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, an experienced cavalry officer, diplomatically wrote Jerry Siegel Oct. 4, 1935 re Joe Shuster's art--"There is some criticism in the Henri Duval strip about the horse and its equipment. I would advise you to get a little better model and watch reins, etc."

I keep seeing posts that say--"Doge did this and doge did that." Who did it, who is the person or persons taking these actions? Somebody made a decision and acted on it. I want to know their names. Everything they do should be investigated to pinpoint precisely who made the decision and then acted.

Warner is an excellent example of everything that is wrong with the current system. He's not all that bright, he's spineless and basically mails it in. It's worth asking and examining how someone like him gets elected to such an important position to supposedly advocate for we the people.

Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson @thewheelernick.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
I would seriously like to know what Warner does. He's my senator and I have no idea if he actually does anything. Little to none media presence. Almost no connection to the people he is supposed to be serving. Useless.

I moved to Virginia in July '22 and I have no idea what Warner does. He and several others appear to be like the royal family appearing at public events and cutting ribbons. He's useless and needs to go!

Mardi Gras begins on January 6th, Kings Day and goes until Fat Tuesday whenever that occurs, which is 40 days before Easter whenever that occurs in the calendar. Some Mardi Gras seasons are short, some are long. Parades go on throughout the season all along the Gulf Coast not just in New Orleans.

It would be gracious of you to acknowledge the person who started the whole thing-not 85 years ago but 90 years ago-hired Siegel and Shuster and gave them their start in comics. Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson.

If laws are being broken--which specific laws? And who or what has jurisdiction over those laws? Lawsuits are one thing but I want to know specifically who or what entity can take Musk and his flying monkeys into custody in the meantime? Take them out of the buildings now. Time for action.

Cartoonist Chester Commodore (Aug. 22, 1914-April 10, 2004) started with The Chicago Defender, the biggest newspaper in the Black press in 1948. He drew editorial cartoons & worked on comic strips such as The Sparks, Bungleton Green (taking over for Jay Jackson), and more. #BlackHistoryMonth

I don't think he's as smart as Rasputin just more like an elite glorified ambulance chaser. I had some contact with him around 2009 discussing our family's issues and was not impressed. I doubt he can do much for them but it would be nice as I think Shuster got the worst of the deal.

Re the illegal activities of Musk and company, I attempted to call my representative and senators in Virginia and got voice mail for McClellan. Left a voicemail. Went to muzak with Warner for quite some time and static message from Kaine that went in and out and nothing happened. Will keep trying.

You may have hammered it but not to the people who needed to know. They all watch Fox news or no news. Maybe start calling out other media to tell the truth.
