And her power is kickass.
It literally symbolizes that you can't tell her to 'shut up' or 'be quiet,' because she will blow your goddamn house down.
And go ahead and try to get tough with her.
It will not go well for you.

She has a dynamite look, she stands alongside gods and wizards and holds her own, she goes back to the best badass biker chicks in history and fiction, she has the Hollywood glamour connection from her mom.
AND she is the best friend anyone ever had. You call her, at 3:30 am for help...she's there.

Here is my opinion.
Black Canary is one of the best heroes in comics.
She has style, wit, honor, integrity, empathy, and an infallible sense of devotion to doing the right thing.
She will kick your ass if you need it, and then offer you a hand up off the ground.
No one else quite like her.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

This bit was actually my idea.
I was just a fan columnist, I made friends with Mark Waid, he knew I loved the Justice League and he let me read the early script. I said I loved it (I still do) but I thought Canary could have some cooler moments and suggested this and a couple other bits.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:
If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

SpaceX is going public because Tesla is already dead, people just don't realize it.
The reason that SpaceX is going public and announcing nonsense about data centers in space:
1. The outside client launch manifest is flat and becoming more competitive
2. The total TAM for starlink was never going to justify the valuation
3. Growth for commerical/residential Starlink is shrinking
