Apparently that was the source of Doug and EVS' 'falling out.' (Let_them_fight.gif)

Who's Mags in this context?

Also, where does the "blackface lawyer" nickname come from? Was it an actual case, or some remark he made?

It's so hard to keep up with all these weirdos. Between this and the Epstein saga, I feel like my mind has tumbled down a rabbit hole and right into one of those machines used to polish bowling balls. My brain is now hard and smooth and gleaming and ready to be fired into a brick wall.

Please note, when confronted with that, Rekietta's entire defense was "my black friend said it was ok".

Yes, he actually tried to play that card.

That they think Dallas has more than one daily newspaper means they know nothing about the newspaper industry in America at the least.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
if it was previous churning out botnoise and is now targeting responses on some hot issue, it's likely an account that's part of a botnet that is now being used for more active, human-tuned paid influence.

Seriously, the deadtree newspaper has five years left at most, probably closer to two.

Miami has the Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel. The latter is technically based in Ft. Lauderdale, but it covers and circulates throughout South Florida.

The Herald is a POS, it's only one small step above lovely supermarket tabloids. It barely deserves to be called a newspaper.

With TF2 lore, they made the decision to just move past the game surprisingly early on. In the comics, the whole Red Vs. Blue war that the actual game is based around ended when Mann vs Machine happened in 2012, and even the “main” comics all take place well after that.

The TF2 comics are fantastic (hence why I still have a Sniper avatar despite not having seriously played the game since I was in High School) and it’s led to a bizarre situation where Overwatch was released with a bunch of lore and hasn’t moved at all, while TF2 had basically nothing and somehow actually turned into a real story. One that will never be finished, because of course Valve stopped right before the final issue that was meant to wrap things up, but still.

Any chance you could post Scout's death scene in the touching panels thread? I remember seeing it on Twitter a while back and thinking it was really well done.

Doe the Daily Herald count as well? Or is that too geared to suburbanites who claim to be from Chicago?

I spent the first 19 years of my life as one of those suburbanites and I only vaguely recall ever seeing a copy of that paper.

It's absolute trash that can't afford to do their own printing so they literally had to subcontract their own competitor to print their tabloid, it's true

but frankly that's still more than many major municipalities have

Well

He definitely died, for real, but God let him go back and said he'd see Scout again in fifteen years. Also Scout was explicitly placed on earth as a gift to its women. He's not the only person who dies and gets better in that issue alone. Look, the comic goes to weird places and maybe you should just check them out, but we've been trapped in a cliffhanger since 2017 so folks are tetchy about it.
