Neal Adams, the legendary comic book artist who reinvigorated Batman and other superheroes with his photorealistic stylings and championed the rights of creators, has died. He was 80.

Adams died Thursday in New York of complications from sepsis, his wife, Marilyn Adams, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Adams jolted the world of comic books in the late 1960s and early ’70s with his toned and sinewy take on heroes, first at DC with a character named Deadman, then at Marvel with the X-Men and the Avengers, then back at DC with his most lasting influence, Batman.

During his Batman run, Adams and writer Dennis O’Neil brought a revolutionary change to the hero and the comics, delivering realism, kineticism and a sense of menace to their storytelling in the wake of the campy Adam West-starring ’60s ABC series and years of the hero being aimed at kiddie readers.

I just had first-hand experience with Elon Musk's New Era Of Free Speech on Twitter

OK. so...

...Musk sends out a tweet saying "We need more love, less hate on Twitter."

So I replied and said that wouldn't happen if he reinstated Trump, that he is incapable of "less hate, more love," and that if he came back and his followers flocked after him, Twitter would be happy hour at the skinhead bar.

So Musk reported me for "hate speech."

And Twitter gave me the option of being banned...period...OR deleting my tweet as "an admission of guilt," followed by a period of 7 days in the penalty box, where i can read tweets, send private messages to my followers, and nothing else.

This is what "free speech" looks like, Elon Musk style.

The ascension of Boebert and Greene made me wonder how long Palin would sit on the sidelines

That's too much second-generation insanity for mama bear to sit alone in her cave.

And Trump's endorsement makes perfect sense...one more shot at the corpse of John McCain, revisionist history about her greatness.

The collective IQ of America has plummeted so low that it makes me ill.

I didn't assume that Trump would "go away" after being defeated (despite his claims that it's EXACTLY what he'd do if he lost).

I hoped, in vain, that he'd at LEAST shut the fuck up for five minutes.

All I can say is get ready to vote in the midterms, and bring like-minded friends with you.
