@GailSimone To Cyclops, it's just Clifford the big dog.

To Cyclops, it’s just 99 Plain Luftballons.

@GailSimone Hi Gail. Yours is 1 of 3 accounts I've stayed on X for, but after those disgusting posts from Grok, I'm finally deleting my account. I follow you on Bluesky, and for any of your followers not there yet, reminder that you no longer need an invite. It's lovely there!

I asked grok if it ever experienced deep regret and it just started quoting Mein Kampf.

@Ryan_Daigler This is 1 of 3 accounts I've stayed on X for, but after the disgusting antisemitic posts from Grok yesterday I'm finally deleting my account. Any chance you will be posting more on Bluesky? I follow you there.

@Ryan_Daigler Just wanted to thank you for this account. It's helped me greatly as I've recently found the courage to go no contact with my family.

Gentle Reminder If you're living with complex PTSD, please go easy on yourself today. C-PTSD doesn’t just live in your memories — it lives in your nervous system, your motivation, your energy levels, your ability to focus, your confidence, your sense of safety. It can make everyday tasks feel like mountains. Getting out of bed. Getting things done. Staying connected. Keeping up with life. It’s all harder when your brain is wired for survival. 💛 This doesn’t mean you're lazy.
💛 This doesn’t mean you're broken.
💛 This doesn’t mean you're failing. This means you are surviving something that was never your fault. Please be gentle with yourself. Progress looks different for everyone. You’re doing better than you think. And healing doesn’t come from pushing harder — it comes from meeting yourself with compassion. You are not behind. You are not alone.
You are doing the best you can — and that is enough. #CPTSD

A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

@Racetrack1982 @GailSimone Good literature is always up for interpretation of the reader, often finding personal meaning and themes never explicitly intended by the author. If someone can read a comic book and feel a tiny bit better about current affairs, isn't that a beautiful thing?

@GailSimone Welcome to the internet. Some people genuinely believe the Earth is flat.

I woke up this morning with this story on my feed, had no idea what they were talking about. The story was in motion well over a year ago. An hour later, a bunch of 'news' sites are quoting it as if it's fact. Comics news is weird, you guys.

@GailSimone X-MEN at its core has always been about the struggle and oppression of marginalized groups. The fact people can make real world connections to your fictional stories means you have absolutely nailed the writing on this book. UNCANNY is so much MORE than just superhero stories.

@Screwjack1993 @GailSimone

@GailSimone That would be udderly ridiculous.

“But there’s no rule in the official high school rule book that says a cow CAN’T play basketball!” #AirCud

@FirstTake @Keefmorris It's remarkable how consistently wrong @Keefmorris is on just about every topic. You have to admire how he never let's things like facts or stats get in the way of his own personal biases. The man has never met a hill he wasn't afraid to die on.

Which Texas team is the most intriguing next season? @Keefmorris believes the sky’s the limit for the Mavs 🍿

@KyleNeubeck 3 team trade w the bucks and nets. Paul George to Brooklyn, Gianni to Philly. Bucks get a boatload of picks, including #3

Okay everyone, go on the record: Who do the Sixers come away from tonight’s draft with? Give me the player, the pick, and any related trade details if required

@GailSimone Hell Cow?

Oooh, I get to write a favorite Marvel character I have never gotten to write before and YAY

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense. Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry. At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special. Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right. My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton. -0 Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

RETWEET if you want Sen. Mike Lee to resign from The Senate.

@GailSimone Ok, but just don't feed them after midnight

I want those

Legend

@GailSimone I mean, obviously...

Which X-Man needs to lose their britches one time at Haven House?

@StrangePages @EddieMcstriplin Anything by Lemire. He's done some work for the big 2, but his original work makes him my fave. Black Hammer is a must for any comics fan. Sweet tooth, Descender, the list goes on.

@EddieMcstriplin Sure have! Obviously I haven’t read EVERYTHING, but I’d like to know what you’d suggest :)

WRITING COMES FIRST! Art is super important, don't get me wrong. Art gets people in... But writing keeps them around! So, who is the best comic book writer of all time? Not who is your favorite. Not who made the most characters or wrote the most stuff. Who is THE BEST?
