Two very awesome EMT dudes show up and get him off the floor, run his vitals, and just pretty much smooth everything out. He’s ok, back in bed, and I’m just now letting myself exhale.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the longer tales too, but it would be so nice to be a more casual reader across multiple titles. You’d get to impulse buy more often. I bet you’d hear a lot more of things like “Eh, I liked the cover” as the reason for checking it out.
That’s why every social and political disagreement gets framed the way it does now. That’s why every asshole in the country and online doesn’t have to realize that they’re the asshole anymore. They have a team of other assholes telling them that it’s ok.
To me it all stems from that. All your incels, all your comicsgate, all your “alt-right”, all your MAGA, all your all of it. Because Murdoch, the Koch’s, and Mitch McConnell framed it as franchise devotion, like a sports team, and huge swathes of people bought it all.

There will be studies analyzing how an entire portion of our culture had their psyches so easily damaged that they fell for corporate manipulation & the shameless say anything power grab of the modern Republican Party. All because of a black man who stood in their way.

@rjcaseywrites I backed Sugar Bro after seeing you mention it earlier. Looks fun!
@rjcaseywrites I hope you know I'm not disagreeing with you. I respect the hell out of you and value your take on everything, sir.
As an adult, yes! But that doesn't need to be pushed on to a 10 year old, does it? @rjcaseywrites
@rjcaseywrites why? There's nothing shameful about superheroes. The shame is what we've done with them. That's on us, not the idea.
@themikenorton I'm at Revolution for the first time (I know; don't judge) and I feel lacking in the fact that you're not here. My shame, sir
