DC Comics adds mutant shark bottoming to official canon. Wait, what?

Took them long enough.

The new DC Comics animated film Justice League Dark: Apokolips War has confirmed that the bisexual detective John Constantine has an active sex life. The film reveals that Constantine used to date King Shark, a giant mutant half human-half shark, and that Constantine enjoyed bottoming with his ex.

After the clip went viral with fans debating the true meaning, one of the writers of the film has confirmed the meaning on Twitter. Mairghread Scott, who penned the screenplay, clarified that yes, Constantine did bottom for King Shark.

“I can’t believe they let me write this,” she admitted.

“I was expecting to hear from twitter folks thirsty for tortured, sad, bearded Superman, but I truly underestimated thirsty monster-f*cker twitter,” she added in another tweet.

The supernatural detective John Constantine earned a following, in part, for being one of the first openly bisexual characters in DC Comics canon. Over the years, several big and small screen adaptations of the character have addressed his sexual fluidity in different ways, or met with controversy for ignoring that aspect of his personality.

Trump Adviser and Sycophant Peter Navarro: ‘I’m Glad Mr. Obama Has a New Job as Joe Biden’s Press Secretary’ — WATCH

Trump adviser Peter Navarro responded to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of the current administration’s disastrous handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Nearly 90,000 U.S. citizens have died from COVID-19 under Donald Trump’s watch since it began.

Said Navarro, a trade adviser: “I’m glad Mr. Obama has a new job as Joe Biden’s press secretary. I know for the record that in his speech that I read there was no mention of manufacturing, no mention of China. As far as I’m concerned, his administration was a kumbaya of incompetence in which we saw millions of manufacturing jobs go off to China. His new normal was a flatline in terms of wage growth.”

“I’m happy to report that this president, Donald J. Trump in three and a half years built the most beautiful economy in modern history,” Navarro continued. “And the Chinese did take that down in about 30 days but we are in the process right now of rebuilding that and this president, Donald J. Trump, is the one who has the skills to do so.”

Clinic sees HIV transmission rates plummet under COVID-19

Amid the reverberations of a global pandemic, a silver lining has appeared: a London-based health clinic has found that the rate of new HIV infections has dropped significantly as a result of social distancing.

“Fewer hook-ups since lockdown has resulted in a huge reduction of HIV and other STIs. The chain is broken,” the clinic 56 Dean Street wrote on its website. The group went on to declare the coronavirus pandemic as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity in the fight against HIV.”

“What’s more,” the group adds, “when someone first catches the virus, they are super infectious and more likely to pass on HIV than normal. But because there aren’t many super infectious people around, this has reduced transmission even further.”

56 Dean Street further encourages sexually active people to get tested for STDs as the lockdown continues, as cutting down on infections now means less spread later.

“We might never get this opportunity again,” the clinic said on Twitter.
