DC Ends ‘Red Hood’ Comic After Writer’s Charlie Kirk Comments

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-29 18:04:05

DC Comics canceled its new, mature-rated Red Hood comic just hours after it launched on September 10 because its writer made comments about the assassination of right-wing activist and Turning Point USA creator Charlie Kirk at Utah University. Red Hood writer Gretchen Felker-Martin made comments and joked on social media about Kirk’s death—which occurred on the same day as the comic’s launch. Red Hood, which Felker-Martin was creating along with artist Jeff Spokes, will discontinue after its f

What is popover=hint? If you’ve been following along with advancements in HTML, such as the new popover API, you may have noticed that a new popover type ( hint ) recently landed in Chrome 133 (January 2025). But what exactly does it do? The short answer is: popover="hint" allows you to open an unrelated hint popover without closing other popovers in the stack. This means you can have an existing stack of auto popovers remain open while still displaying a hint popover. You often see this sort

While children under 13 years of age aren't allowed to sign up on the social media app, Meta allows adults like parents and managers to run accounts for children and post videos and photos of them. The company says that these accounts are "overwhelmingly used in benign ways," but they're also targeted by predators who leave sexual comments and ask for sexual images in DMs. In
