Check out The Bulwark podcast. Tim Miller seems like a pretty normal gay guy, who is a republican, and hates the shit out of Trump. I honestly can't conceive of who Vance is talking about with this.

Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.

I didn't understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.

Dr Horrible intended to be evil but never followed through.

Me: Hey, boss. I'm going to appeal that thing you told me to do.

Boss: Well, firing you might seem politically partisan, so I guess I'll have to let it go.

Commenting that I'll miss Lance Reddick in the new season in response to an Andre Braugher meme... 😢

Homeless looking guy sounds like he has way more chill than I would have in this situation. Good for that guy. I hope he had a winning night too.

I liked Blair's "appearance" on the Bad Dates podcast.

I immediately thought of this, and wished I lived in the area just so I could go leave the most devastating shit in one of those toilets.

I don't have any idea really, but one possible contributing element is the speed of delivery. My understanding (possibly incorrectly) is that western comics are more commonly delivered on a one book per month cycle, whereas Manga delivers a lot more content in the same time period. Part of this production time can probably be attributed to coloring time (Western comics color every panel vs Manga printed in mostly black and white).

There's also the accessibility of Manga and anime, having relatively newer characters without the burden of decades of backstory (not accounting for One Piece). Running an anime with (mostly) similar story line helps to bring potential new readers up to speed quickly with Manga, whereas the animated adaptations of western comics often seem to pick specific story arcs of comics, or make up entirely new stories.
