Question for the comics folks. I'm sure there's a lot of hand-waving with Marvel Zombies, but wouldn't being undead make Thor unworthy of wielding Mjolnir?
One of the Marvel Rivals Halloween-themed variant covers. It shows Thor but as a zombie. His cape is in tatters and lightning and bones explode around him as he lifts Mjolnir to the sky

I've quoted this dumb movie for years. Specifically the planetarium and roller blades scenes.
A movie poster for the Stupids. It has a yellow background. The text in red says "TOM ARNOLD IS STUPID (Stanley Stupid)" and then below that in inverted text it has "The Stupids." Tom Arnold's head smiles from the center of the poster in a boater hat. A smaller picture of him, his wife, son, and daughter is at the bottom of the poster with out of focus red text

It's no surprise that numbers are down when funding is allowing parents to benefit from public money without attending public schools

The beginning of There's Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib has a couple of really lovely motifs that he returns to in the book, but I especially love this bit about his father. This essay and his "On Summer Crushing" are really fun to do with kids

I sometimes get annoyed that Bluesky doesn't have Twitter features like hovering to show a user's profile, but I don't remember this being on Twitter: Clicking a hashtag to see more posts in that vein, you get the option of seeing just posts from that user, which is useful for lists like this one
a screenshot of a post from Bluesky user neonnurse that says "25 Favourite Science Fiction Novels No particular order #Booksky #bookschallenge #scifi #sciencefiction" A pop-up dialog box features the options "See #Booksky posts See #Booksky posts by user Mute Booksky" The remaining bit of the skeet cut off by the dialog box says, "of the first book for illo purpose, but...whole Vorkosigan Saga. Can't pick a favorite"

I want to read this right now.
This sickos meme. A man with wild hair, thick eyebrows, and stubble looks into a window. He's wearing a t-shirt with SICKOS written on it and saying, "YES...HA HA HA...YES!"

Currently watching the Puppy Bowl pregame show with the kids and I love that we as a nation have leaned into the Puppy Bowl so much that it has a pregame show and commentators.

Also, please tell Sarge I love him
