By your command
Three screenshots, arranged vertically. Top: from Seinfeld, "Kramer, what's going on in there?!" bright neon green light shines onto Jerry's face, emanating from Kramer's apartment. Middle: screengrab of the start of an NBA game in Minnesota. The court is sea of inexplicably lime green that may or may not be liquid, from all appearances. Bottom: "It's the NBA Cup, Jerry!" Not shown: Jerry Seinfeld, regrettably, turned out to be a genocidal maniac, but this is not related to that and still funny.

Perfection. This would've been a great debate moment.

Post a picture of when your pet was little
Mystique, a tiny black kitten, is curled up on her back, sleeping, on top of a gray fleece throw in my lap. Her paws are grasping my left thumb and head is resting against my left wrist, preventing me from reaching my laptop, lid closed just beyond my fingers, effectively freezing me in place as her bed and pillow.

Why did he never address or at least acknowledge this?
The same black-and-white picture that Kevin Kruse posted earlier as "American flags at Delano grape strike march" (in a now deleted post attacking anti-ICE protestors for carrying Mexican, and American but he didn't acknowledge that, flags). This version of the picture, though, has all of the Mexican and Our Lady Guadalupe, Mexican farm workers flags that are right next to the American flags, circled in red.

This news pleases Mystique
Mystique, a beautiful black cat, regally lounging, head raised and looking at the camera, across the middle of a black fold-out table I pulled out to fold laundry.

A respite from the discourse. #MystiqueMonday
A black cat lays on her right side, bathed in sunlight, on the dark grey perch atop of a two foot high scratching post. The perch is up next to a window in a small room cluttered with moving boxes and other junk. Her legs are stretched out towards the window, with her head over the near side but looking up towards the camera.

When you've imagined your own theory on what makes a protest effective, and can't see the contrary evidence you yourself presented.
The same picture that Kevin Kruse posted as "American flags at Delano grape strike march," but with all of the Mexican and Our Lady Guadalupe flags that are right next to them circled.

A small black cat sits, hunched over, on a wooden stool. She is peering intently into the camera.

A small black cat is laying flat on her belly in my lap, in the direction of the camera, on top of a fluffy white throw blanket. Her eyes are narrowed in contentment, looking straight ahead. The inside corner of an L-shaped dark brown wooden desk is partially covering her back half.

Comfy new window perch #MystiqueMonday
A black cat is curled up inside, but too big to fit completely, inside a circular yellow bed top, the highest attached perch of an otherwise gray cat tree. She is looking up towards the camera (which is behind her, half a floor up the stairs). There is sunlight coming through the window directly behind the cat tree, illuminating the cat and the second highest perch of the cat tree.

A sad old man, soon to be retired (but not so soon that he shouldn't be given a leadership position over a more dynamic, popular, decades younger, just better colleague), in a blue suit is speaking.

Exploring. Cautiously. #MystiqueMonday
Small black cat outdoors (on a leash! though not visible in the pic). She is under a propped up silver car fender that is on the concrete ground leaning up against the side of a house. Her head is poking out from underneath, as she surveys the grass in front of her.

This was pretty great too
Dale: Colonialism, buttercup. It's how languages work (Attached is a screenshot of a search result for the word "tho," defining it as a nonstandard spelling of though) jan Alesija: so you're a proud colonialist, yet you claim to support Palestine, fascinating... Dale: Damn. colloquialism.

Must've been a good workout #MystiqueMonday
Black cat is laid out and asleep on a weight bench, with her tail, one back leg, and one front leg hanging off the edge.

Fan in a Lakers jersey and cap in the stands in Chicago, looking on in disbelief after a buzzer beating Josh Giddey halfcourt three gives the Bulls a one-point win.

I'm gonna change this into a reply thread where I just post a pic of her each week. Dunno why I started with quote tweets, I think it was just the Bluesky convention at the time.

#MystiqueMonday
A black cat, so spoiled and contented that you can almost hear her purring by the look on her face. There is a hand above her head, fingers extended, giving her pets and head scratches.

The median elected Democrat, a confused and frightened frail old man, dressed in a suit from when his body still held water, is seated. He is giving a thumbs up, desperately attempting to look as if he knows what's going on.

The setup gets to the fights surprisingly quickly. Some background explaining why/how this is happening, a little intro of universes crossing over, and then on to the fights!

Fun to see on the page, but pretty rushed and kinda meh. Batman vs Cap & Storm vs WW are the best. Wolverine vs Lobo worst.
Inside of front cover of the DC versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age omnibus. Inside front dust cover flap lists five matchups with pics: Who is stronger? Superman vs the Hulk Who is cooler? Superboy vs Spider-Man Who is meaner? Lobo vs Wolverine Who is smarter? Batman vs Captain America Who is tougher? Wonder Woman vs Storm The bottom of the flap asks, "Who will win?"

On to the sequel! I'm really looking forward to this one. The Amalgam characters were so new and exciting to see when I was a kid, and I know I only actually got to read a few of those comics. Let's see if they hold up!
Front cover of the DC versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age omnibus. Featuring Dark Claw (mashup of Wolverine and Batman), Super Soldier (Superman and Captain America), Amazon (Storm and Wonder Woman), Dare (Daredevil and Deathstroke), and Catsai (Elektra and Catwoman).
