One of those weird quirks of social media: I had no idea who this Toni Laughen chick was until people started posting about how awful she was. I know I could google & find out but its been sort of amusing just guessing based on people's comments. For the first week or so, I thought she must be one of those high…

He's basically Jay Gatsby, if Jay Gatsby was a complete piece of shit. He doesn't know how to get the respect of the people he desperately wants to be accepted by.

Perhaps you should read If You Meet the Spider-Man on the Road, Kill Him!, the J. Jonah Jameson Sutra.

He at least knows his lane. Like he may call himself King of All (non-terrestrial satellite) Media, but he's never tried to make himself King.
