How Superman Helped Launch the Hubble Space Telescope
Long before it orbited Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope starred in a famous Superman comic
www.scientificamerican.com
Three months ago I bought an old Superman comic and found an oddly familiar looking space telescope inside. Today, I've just had an article about it published by Scientific American!

Bond discourse on Bluesky is a good excuse to share Scott Walker's Bond song.

The Daniel Craig Bond is living as an amnesiac in a Japanese fishing village and nothing anyone can say will convince me otherwise.

I really hate that people are now looking at all stories through the comic book nerd lens. You'd think someone like Horowitz would know better.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.
It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

As I mention in this review, there are characters in Green Lantern that serve no purpose & actually weaken stronger characters who have to share their role. They're only in it because they're in the comic. Yet another example of how Hollywood SHOULD NEVER EVER TRY TO PLEASE THE FANS.

Sarah Connor: Why won’t you just die?
T-1000: Wow, what a great question! By asking that question you‘ve shown that you’re interested in life and death, and that you’re more philosophical than most. Let’s unpack that…

This was fantastic. Ollie is written exactly how you'd want him to be written. It's such a huge improvement considering how poor this series was under the previous writer. And such a shame it's been cancelled, presumably because of people like me waiting for the trade. :(

I'm reading this and I'm really enjoying it, but for some reason the one thing that's too silly for me to handle in this novel about a man who fights crime while dressed in black rubber is the fact that Batman has built himself a van to drive around in.
