Let's see if I remember. Clownhunter - Philippines Dark Ranger - Australia El Gaucho - Argentina Gray Wolf - Russia/Chechnya Man-Of-Bats and Raven Red - USA/Sioux nation Nightrunner - France Wingman - origin not revealed yet but the previously Wingman was from Sweden. (Also, there was this period when Jason Todd took this name and was a member of Batman Inc.) -

This panel is from Batman Incorporated #3 (2023). It's a team of Batman-themed guys (and one woman, Knight of the United Kingdom) from around the world. The art is excellent. The story so far is average, but I like the characters so much they could do nothing and I'd still read it. -

I wouldn't mind if Democrats did one of their "secretly support an unelectable Republican in a primary" thing here. The Pennsylvania Senate race, that is. -

For decades, they have gotten along by pretending to have some legitimacy. Sure, their right-wing pundits say insane things but they still have an objective value as journalism, as the argument would go. But this has proved that wrong to anyone who didn't believe it before. They won't recover from that reputational damage.

Yikes. I don't expect DeSantis to ever be president. The whole thing Republicans have where they try to imitate Trump just makes them unelectable. But at the same time, they need to imitate Trump to win primaries. -
One of the weirdest things about the U.S. response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is how the State Department seems more hawkish than the military and intel community. Gen. Mark Milley (chairman of the Joint Chiefs) will say something like, "that may not be a realistic military goal for Ukraine to pursue" and someone like Wendy Sherman (Deputy Secretary of State) will respond, "ACTUALLY what the General meant was..." I am now uncomfortable with Blinken and would feel better if changes are made at State at the soonest responsible time.

Sounds like an innocent mistake, right? Well then, you get to this part... The person who is officially listed as the manager of this LLC doesn't seem to be managing it.

Basically what you need to know about this is one of the most influential English language online personalities who spreads pro-Putin, pro-war, pro-Russian information across various social networks (Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, Spotify) is a fake. She claims to be a Russian born in Luhansk oblast in the Donbass, even putting on a Russian accent when interviewing pro-Russian people on her podcast, but she's actually an American born in New Jersey and raised in Washington state.

Fox News is going to lose this trial. I'm hoping it turns out like Alex Jones getting his ass sued and having to file for bankruptcy.
