If Katsucon had a “star,” it was that giant Reinhardt.

I want to nominate Jim Cooke for an Oscar.

You’re missing the Jezebel/Kotaku cross-posting opportunity:

What? The legal community has been a major positive force — if not outright MVP — of Trump’s first month in office. Camping out at airports to help people affected by the Muslim ban, successfully challenging the Muslim ban in court, and representing people caught up in ICE raids.
