Hot off the presses, the second edition of Kirby At Marvel: 1956-1963, a look at what the original art and published work have to tell us about Jack Kirby's work in comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

It's no longer left versus right, liberals versus conservatives or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Know the stakes. The midterms are here.

The Gaters are really championing John Byrne and Roy Thomas rn, conflating LGBTQIA with "Malcolm X and Martin Luther King," and giving Thomas credit for everything from Wolverine and Ghost Rider to Star Wars, but even if Byrne is a transphobic racist I hope both of them aren't jumping on that ship.

BONUS... ...from today's newsletter I also voiced my outrage and disgust that most of the media is ignoring the shocking violent rape allegation against the president of the United States

“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

"struggling"? "impossible task"? "hard problem"? "felt overwhelmed by the range and complexity"? WTAF?! Human much? "her personal A.I. assistant" = the electronic surrogate which she's allowed to invade and consume her prefrontal cortex.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Nearly two hours of oral arguments just concluded in the California election case, and it looks very unlikely that the Trump administration is going to prevail in this early stage of the litigation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/just-...

This is who we've become. We're not celebrating our immigrant heritage. We're watching it being forced to disappear: Asbury Park, NJ, cancels its Day of the Dead celebration because of fears of ICE action. www.nj.com/news/2026/10...

Put this under nature of the problem. From an axios piece by Jim Vendehei about the growing multiple risks of cascading crises. You’d say the same about Biden? Not politics? lol

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

2 things can be true: 1) the worst milquetoast corporate Dem (not named Fetterman) is nowhere near as bad as Donald Trump 2) if a milquetoast corporate Dem (who won’t prosecute the Trump regime, expand the Court, or Abolish ICE) wins the 2028 Dem primary, an even worse fascist will win in 2032.

AI firms want you to believe their fraud bot is alive so they won’t be held responsible for the fraud bot’s crimes. But there is no gray area here, they hold the on/off switches in their very human, very prosecutable hands.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

You've seen the video of Andy Harris. Here's what it doesn't show. His constituents without real representation, Their story didn't go viral. That's why I'm running and I'm thrilled that MOMENTUM keeps shifting in our favor. Chip in any amount to keep us surging.

She is daddy’s dream.

The absolute flood of leaks about this case is maybe an indication that people inside govt aren’t feeling too great about it

Instead of allowing harrassment of Rep. Omar, impeach Todd Blanche

@greatdismal.bsky.social I wonder if this is what is causing the StarLink outages? [link to tweet: x.com/jurgen_naudi...

I have a pretty good idea who should be the next White House press secretary. (yes, this is a real photo)

Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

How old is the saying “Laws are like sausages. It’s better not to see them being made” — and who said it first? (Nope, it wasn’t Otto von Bismarck.) Those questions are addressed in the latest post on my This Day in Quotes blog. Here's the link→ bit.ly/LawsandSausa...

Why are Bernie Sanders, AOC, & Elizabeth Warren the only members of Congress who I ever see calling out the Tech Bros? If other members of Congress are doing this, let me know. Shouldn’t they all be sounding the alarm??

Trump's version of America is filled with naked sadism and malice.

NEW: Federal agents raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of an investigation that reportedly concerns her immigration history. The move, which comes weeks before she faces reelection, marks a departure from longstanding DOJ guidance meant to keep federal law enforcement from influencing elections.

1/ It looks like Putin told Trump that Ukraine was causing high gas prices, a lie that is convenient for Trump.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

What actual DOJ weaponization looks like. We are very far off the cliff.
