Scored tickets to Florence + The Machine (in May)! Way up in the nosebleeds, but they were affordable. If you haven't listened to her new one, "Everybody Scream", get on that.

It’s #Godzilla Day, but did you know that Ray Bradbury’s 1951 short story was an influence on the creation of Japan’s most infamous Kaiju? Bradbury’s story influenced the film THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS which, in turn, influenced the OG GODZILLA!

In 1974, Jack Kirby Kirby did a story where the super-rich are so powerful they are able to rent entire cities and turn them into their playground & push aside all lawful authority. ("In the Era of the Super-Rich," OMAC #4, 1974).
