Many Minnesota based corporations have resumed donating to election deniers, thinking we wouldn't notice.

I attended by sitting in my chair and looking at Whatnot all day, and it only cost me $550. I got lucky and missed Todd McFarlane doing his stream with ComicTom. With the faces of **Hollywood on strike** I haven't heard much MCU/DCEU news. Did you catch anything? As far as comics go, **Mrs. Marvel's going to be back to life,** just in time for the movies. And **she's a mutant now.** We are all very surprised. The house of ideas just can't stop zigging when we expect a zag. /s But really, Mrs. Marvel should have been a mutant this entire time. It better fits her themes; from the little I've read of her books. It sounds like **she'll still be an Inhuman.** The actor that portrays her in Mrs. Marvel and The Marvels, **Iman Vellani is co-writing** the book. She seems great, I love her enthusiasm for comics. I hope she can write. **Todd McFarlane** has his name on another set of new books, mostly related to Spawn. I don't keep up with him all that much, but they were selling fast. **Greg Capullo** will be working on **Wolverine** and a new **Deadpool** title.

Aunt May's actor is a badass.

W0rldtr33 is a suspense/horror book set in a modern-day, cyberpunk-emphasised world. Some kids find a secret forum on the equivalent of the darknet, and a serial killer begins hunting them. It also looks like they have an ARG going at [https://www.w0rldtr33.net/](their website). The series started recently, there are three issues out. The first issue had a recall on a couple of covers because they printed too dark. The main cover depicts a woman sitting on a bed, a corpse laying behind the bed. If the floor/right wall is mostly black, that's a recalled cover. Maybe worth checking out if you're a collector. This is a mature-rated book. There's a good bit of violence/gore, and nudity. It's published by Image.

Yesterday Hickman's new series dropped, "Ultimate Invasion." I haven't been to my comic shop yet, so I haven't read it. I only know the gist of it from the trailer I posted here the other day. As I scrolled through youtube the Comics Explained channel popped up with the title ::: spoiler spoiler "Marvel Just Killed Spiderman: Ultimate Invasion" (respect the fucking hyphen, Rob). ::: Now I don't know if it's clickbait. I would totally believe it happened. But the comic is barely 24 hours old. I get his content is telling people about other content. But jesus dude, wait a week. Steer clear of YouTube until you're caught up on event books, I guess.

TLDR: 3 people working together can gatekeep content on the "active" and "hot" feeds on smaller servers/communities. After some playing around, I noticed posts disappear after reaching a threshold. A quick search later and I'm in the [Lemmy docs](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html) reading about how this all works. In plain English, any three people working together (or one person with three accounts) can stop posts from appearing on the default feed. Once a post reaches -2 it will only appear to people who browse "new." Edit: Of course, it reappears after it climbs above -2, but it's a race against the clock. As a smaller server, we're vulnerable to this. But we also have some extra mitigations - namely, [@seahorse@midwest.social](https://midwest.social/u/seahorse) has to approve everyone who joins, and that *might* weed out bad actors. So what can you do? Upvote content liberally, downvote sparingly.

Stan Lee was quite the character. He was charming. He was creative. He had a major influence on comics and pop culture. But I don't think he wasn't always 100% truthful, especially about how much credit he should take.

Comicstorian usually has well considered criticisms of the comic world. I haven't watched this yet, beware spoilers.

I use this guy to supplement my solar panels in the winter. It does 30a, I haven't had an issue running the microwave and ac off it simultaneously. I just finished my second year with it, so far it's just needed an oil change.
