2000’s comic book podcast. find me on threads, find me on bluesky

[shortbox summary @shortboxsummary]

I’m a fun comic book podcast that talks about books that came out 20 years ago.

Nothing about that is more important than the political climate in the US right now.

Follow me on Bluesky for comic takes but here it’s strictly me being angry.

Last summer I was sooooo happy Hunter mentioned David Axelrod. Axelrod, Professor Galloway, Jonathan Chait, Brian Stelter, Sam Stein, Tim Miller, Bill Kristol, Jake Tapper, Peter Baker, and so many more media elites felt the need to bash Biden on and off for 4 fucking years.

Anyone think it’s odd that every event is just a bunch of sycophants standing behind an immobile president pretending it’s normal?

The largest ICE detention center made over $250 million last year. 

Billionaires have quite literally turned human suffering into a business.

Sunshine: As long as Ted Cruz was allowed to flee his people in the middle of a blizzard to Cancun and then when he was caught, blame his teenage daughter. If that guy gets to keep his senate seat, Graham Platner gets to stay.

We have a two tiered system of scandal in our country. If you are the establishment political candidate of either party, all your scandals get to stay nice and tidy in the closet. But if you're the anti-establishment, populist candidate of either party, Republican or Democrat, all of your scandals get dragged out into the light

Keith David gets emotional and says he’s “living his dream” while accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“I started out as a singer, then I wanted to be a preacher, and I wanted to be a lawyer and a bank president. Then I discovered I could be an actor and be all those things.”

The NYT has put more resources into investigating Graham Platner than it has into everything the IDF has ever said.

Just ungrateful that this picture doesn't exist

Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.

Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.

Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.

So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.

That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.

This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.

Who should make that call?

does that say $80 for a port of a 4 year old game

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

This is a crime. This is deliberately exposing the general public to the most overvalued company in the history of the stock market in order to prop up an IPO that jailbreaks the entire index/pension/retirement fund system.

This is selling suicide pills at the drugstore.

Bring back the guillotine for scalpers.

You deserve guaranteed healthcare in the richest, most powerful country in the world. Don't let a corporation or a corporate-bought politician tell you otherwise. Pass Medicare for All.

Another reminder that democrats are trying to take down platner in favor of a politician who has a -19 approval rating in Maine.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

[Jared Shult @jared_shult]

I hate it here

[Acyn @Acyn]

Sanders: There was a massive there was a mob of media there worried about Platner, his marriage and his texts. Meanwhile, we are not talking about why one person in America owns more wealth than the bottom 53%. How often do we discuss that on CNN?

[Kentucky Statesman @ky_statesman]

This is high treason.
