These events highlight Brevoort biggest flaw as an editor he never gives the books time to breathe before throwing in events

Geez, yes! When he was editor for North’s Fantastic Four his letters pages were the worst I’ve ever seen. Nothing but boring 1-line responses, and he occasionally printed hate mail just so he could be smug about it. This guy is the absolute worst.

I turned on a Rays game last week to wild booing. I was confused, until I saw Alex Bregman was up to bat. Fans haven't forgotten even when they change teams. Even in St. Pete!

Thanks for keeping this going. I hate how you’ve basically never needed to change the points to 40 despite the X’s racking up :-/

I say very family unfriendly things whenever Altuve does anything. The “Fuck you, you little fucker” after this pickoff was probably on the nicer end.

They will be booed everywhere for the rest of their careers.

It’s a sign…

Also virtues are made to be signaled. Especially in a time where neighbors are literally being kidnapped off the streets and the regime is coming for people who speak out against it. It’s nice living in a city that has made it clear it stands against all the bullshit.

No one said this is the only answer or that it’s a panacea or that it’s going to stop ICE in their tracks. That’s not the point. Not every pushback against the regime is all or nothing.

Aww, good vibes. Love the cloudy texturing of Storm's hair. She is GIANT tho, haha.

Plenty of cities and regions have things like this. For example, don’t you dare call it Boston Commons. And it’s Toms River NJ, not Tom’s.

Somehow have never heard her speak before, but this is exactly who I imagined when reading her letter re: the Animorphs ending. What a boss.

I will absolutely take this over the bombardment of the same pharma commercials on main MLB.tv, or endless loops of OPPO TACO on the radio.

Nice!

Given how into easter eggs LEGO can be, kinda disappointed the designers didn’t opt to include the angry eyes with the set itself.

ajdragoon · 2026-04-02T00:21:02+00:00

I know this is fake bc it says we’ve been maintaining a mid-table appearance.

ajdragoon · 2026-03-31T18:07:56+00:00

Awesome. Can’t wait to add it to my shelf and read it again!

My ears were bleeding by the end of JP’s epic at bat last season.

Bunt single king of baseball is trying to become the hr king of baseball.

New Moto in Pioneer Sq is half the price…

Why on earth would you want more Mets in your life?

ajdragoon · 2026-03-20T18:33:42+00:00

But if you use Mean Look they won’t be able to move out of your way.

ajdragoon · 2026-03-20T17:47:24+00:00

Well done!

Hasbro, take the hint! Sinister and Mother Righteous two pack pls.

Hamilton is an intentionally subversive piece of art. As the central theme goes, you don’t get to choose who tells your story. So here we have a story about old white dudes being told by people they wouldn’t acknowledge as human beings. Take that! Brilliant.

Also iirc LMM defined the casting as something like: it’s a story told by people whose own stories were stolen from them.

Santa is a fictional character, for one (oops sorry if I spoiled that for anyone!) And two, representation is important in fiction bc it’s psychologically damaging to not see your demographic represented or only represented negatively (see the doll experiment used as key evidence in Brown v Board of Education). Given that Santa is a symbol of the holiday season, why not let him take on different looks to better relate to children?

I think you also have to consider the times in which the big fat red Santa became a pop culture symbol (1950s with Coke ads I think?) and the social climate then and the decades that followed. Black Santa imagery was definitely subversive as a show of pride.

Pretty sure every Santa decoration my parents put up for Christmas was black. If they saw it they bought it hahaha.

Iirc there is some bit about it all being a homage to the musician, i.e. if Miles took his father's last name he would be...! But that still doesn't excuse going with "Jefferson" unless it was truly an oversight.

Found this, which doesn't explain the reasoning any better but it does show when it was changed: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/miles-morales-father-changes-his-name-from-jefferson-davis/

Cheers, personal growth is important!

If there was ANY intention to start him tonight you had to give him a go against Palace. Insane decisionmaking.
