Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men.

If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

This is the time for Superman.
A child whose world is lost when politicians reject science. A baby sent across an ocean of stars to seek the safety of another land. A refugee embraced by America who uses his great power to help everyone on Earth. A kind and humble hero who challenges a cruel and narcissistic billionaire. A man who can be anything who chooses to be a journalist for truth and justice. A symbol of hope pushing back against fear. A smile. A friend. This is the time for Superman.

As usual, the #PennRelays distance medley was a thriller. The University of Washington’s Nathan Green outkicked the field to give the Huskies their first Penn men’s title. @pennrelays.bsky.social
Washington’s Nathan Green crosses the finish line first in the Penn Relays DMR, ahead of Oregon, Texas A&M and Virginia.

I was already looking forward to this, but #Superman had me all-in at Krypto!

In a wild finish at the #MerrieMile this morning in Honolulu, @nikkihiltz.bsky.social took the win in 4:28.39, just ahead of Weini Kelati (4:28.49) and Sinclaire Johnson (4:28.54). The men's field started 32 seconds behind, and a fast-closing Hobbs Kessler (3:56.51) finished fourth overall.
