Ha! Gonna point to this whenever someone on here yells at me for being a Boomer in disguise or something… britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

My results from the Political Compass test showing I am significantly more “woke” than “chud,” slightly more “neo-Luddite” than “techbro,” slightly more “hopepilled” than “doomer,” and significantly more “Davos” than “Dubai.” Whatever that means. It also says my closest political match is Zohran Mamdani.

Maybe just nostalgia because it (along with Batman: Year Three) were the first comics I ever really read, but I unabashedly love this story. It has all my favorite elements of Batman/Robin. Mostly b/c it is fully grounded in CHARACTERS - Bruce, Dick, and Tim all feel real.

A promo for the crossover story A Lonely Place of Dying that took place in 1989. The one-page promo shows NIghtwing on a rooftop at night, looking torn. He holds an empty Robin costume in one hand. Behind him the Batsignal shines while spare newspapers with the headline "Batman Beserk" blow around him. The caption reads: "He thought he could forget the past. He was wrong." The lower text reads: "Batman is destroying himself. Can Nightwing help? Will he?" followed by the publication dates.

This is tough because of everything we’ve learned about Gaiman since it was made, but dammit if the final panel of The Sandman’s “The Wake” isn’t the perfect ending to that entire story.

The final panel of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. Following the death of main character Morpheus, the surviving members of The Endless—Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, and Delirium—meet in an ornate room for a meal to welcome the new Dream. The panel is seen from Dream’s perspective as he opens the door and sees them seated at a table, all of them turning to look at him and, in effect, the reader. The narration reads, “And then, fighting to stay asleep, wishing it could go on forever, sure that once the dream was over it would never come back… you woke up.”

Movie you've watched more than six times using GIFs. #HardMode: no #SciFi, #Horror, #Fantasy, or #franchises.

Winona Ryder and Kim Walker as Veronica Sawyer and Heather Chandler (Heather #1) in the 1989 dark comedy Heathers. They walk through a high school lunch room, arguing. Heather sarcastically says to Veronica “Fuck me gently with a chainsaw - do I look like Mother Teresa?”

Since I just did this for Superman- Quote post with the Batman comic book that was released the month you turned 10. Mine is a classic from Norm Breyfogle and Anthony Tallin.

The cover to Detective Comics #587, drawn by Norm Breyfogle and Anthony Tollin. Batman stands in an urban alley on a windy, stormy night. His cape flares behind him as lightning crashes in the distance. Most of Batman’s body is in shadow, so we only see his white eyes and the yellow and black bat oval on his chest.

This is fun. I turned 15 the summer after the Death of Superman story, just in time for his resurrection in June 1993. The comic came in a white polybag which was meant to mirror the black “bleeding S” polybag from his death issue.

The cover of Adventures of Superman #500. Superman floats in a murky, cloudy afterlife reaching his hand toward the viewer. A man’s arm (in context, the arm belongs to Pa Kent) reaches from the viewer’s perspective. The cover had a thin film that you could peel back to separate Superman from Pa Kent’s arm.

The polybag-covered comic as it appeared for sale. The bag was thin white plastic with just a bright red Superman S emblem on it. You can barely see the actual comic book cover through the plastic.

The Secrets of the Batcave is a classic, but I was obsessed with this diagram of Titans Tower as a kid. I tried to build it out of LEGO several times.

A 1968-era diagram of the Batcave heavily influenced by the Adam West TV show. It includes space for a lab, a garage with the Batmobile, a computer room, a trophy room, and various Bat vehicles plus pathways for how each can be launched for action. Like most cutaways, it makes no actual sense but looks cool and has lots of items that we would now think of as "Easter eggs."

A cutaway drawing of Titans Tower from The New Teen Titans from about 1980. The drawing shows various rooms that featured in the comic book, including characters' bedrooms, their plane hangar, rec room, and other prominent locations used in the series.

The way I will see Superman solely for this shot alone. (I'm seeing it for many, many other reasons too. But this gets me.)

Meet Colby. My favorite furry little potato ever.

An adorable one-eyed pug being adorable.

You guys, I think I just got my first bot reply. Have I made it? Am I popular now?

A response to my previous post about Tulsi Gabbard being a raging homophobic bigot. The response is from a handle “whatever111111111g” and says, “LBGTQ is almost like a religion. Shouldn’t be controling gov. Now gays, Bi, trans I don’t have a problem with being in government. But the LBGTQ movement is a cult. LBGTQ is nothing but hate and authoritarian control.” I’ve transcribed all spelling and grammar errors as they were originally written.

I hate sharing pictures of either of these two shit birds, but sorry how does anyone take either one seriously? You’ve got Cokey McKetamine struggling to make both eyes move in the same direction and the Rapist in Chief wearing so much orange foundation even Coco Montrese is like, “Girl…”

Donald Trump, wearing a boxy, bright blue suit, red MAGA ball cap and extremely spotchy orange foundation/concealer on his face with extremely white (presumably spf?) lip balm maybe? Next to him is an equally spotchy, though far paler Elon Musk who’s face is clearly flushed, his under eyes are baggy and his eyes are glazed.

The page is from one of my favorite semi-forgotten books: Peter David and Gary Frank’s Supergirl in the mid-90s. In it, Supergirl is merged with Linda Danvers, a troubled twentysomething with a dark past and is all about redemption and finding light in darkness.

The cover of Supergirl #1 from 1996 by Peter David, Gary Frank and Cam Smith. The cover shows a mid-close up of Supergirl from her nose to her waist wearing a VERY 90s flannel and woven bracelet over her traditional Supergirl costume and carrying a skateboard.

I know a lot of us are feeling overwhelmed and helpless lately. It’s made me think about what can I do as one person against a mountain of pain and cruelty. And I keep coming back to this scene from a comic book from 30 years ago. A brief thread:

A page from a comic book featuring a man falling from a building and being saved by someone in a blur of action so no one can see who they are. In voice boxes that overlay the action, the mystery person recounts how she, without realizing she could do it, saw the man in trouble and immediately took action, flying to him and rescuing him. The box text reads: “As if I’ve done this a hundred times, I save him. I save him. I’ve saved a life. And the emptiness…ever so slightly…ebbs.” In the final panel, the saved man is asked who saved him. He says it was “an angel.”

It's 3am and I'm getting home from the 2nd worse day of my life. It was spent in four different vet clinics as I had to watch as my best friend slowly faded from me. His name was Colby and he was my favorite thing in the world. I'm heartbroken and don't know how I'll get through. I miss him so much.

My pug, Colby, speaking out from under some sheets looking like the cutest, best dog in the world because he was. My best friend is gone and I'm crying myself to sleep tonight.
