“Superman” does for superhero movies what “Ted Lasso” did for inspirational sports comeback stories. It reminds us that it costs little to be kind, it takes strength to be gentle, and only the weak have to define their own success by trying to engineer the failure of others.

This is a reminder that in the Jim Crow South, it was a popular trend to depict black babies as “alligator bait.”
Please consider this as you see people in 2025 cheering and buying merchandise for “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Am I the only one who, when watching a great movie or TV series, imagines someone I’d like to introduce it to and starts imaginary talking to myself as if I were giving an enticing summary to that absent person?

I submit that it’s time to have a COOL Cain Marko, aka The Juggernaut, on film. No CGI, no hokey-looking Brit in muscle suits…give us the Krakoa-era Juggernaut, proud member of the X-men. And I submit that Alan Ritchson would be perfect for this.

Trump: “Any acts of vandalism against Teslas will be labeled as domestic terrorism.”
…
This is getting into “Emperor Caligula declares his horse appointed to the Senate” level idiocy. And at least most of those old stories were made up. THIS shit is real and forever enshrined in digital record.

On a lighter note: still fundraising to take “The Ghost Army of Oz” to publication! If you love Oz, or just great children’s literature, think about donating a couple bucks! Every bit helps!

Jeff Bezos has an illegally high hedge fence around his mansion. But all he does is merely pay the $1k monthly fine like another bill.
Okay. If the $ means nothing to you, the law means nothing to you, let’s go back to that old “chessboard exponent” solution. (1)

There are no actual “exceptions” to the 1st Amendment right to free speech & protest.
Even “clear & present danger,” the famed “you can’t yell ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater” example, is NOT a true exception. Take a second to look at Schenck v United States, 1919, the precedent of this clause…(1)

Here’s a thought: when 1% of our population could leave for Mars tomorrow if they had the option & take over 50% of our wealth with them, maybe we should stop saying this is the “richest country in the world.” They don’t consider their wealth ours. Never have.

Remember when “summer school” was the thing to dread & avoid at all costs? Now look at it as an adult:
“What? I didn’t learn enough this year, so you’re gonna give me more free schooling? I’m a little weak on these other subjects, can I—? Seriously?”
If only my MFA had been on this basis.

I’m no security expert or economist…but it seems to me if you’re ushering in a new ‘golden age’ of efficient, accountable government spending…it doesn’t start by appointing private security to block Congress from even going into the building.
