Senator Kelly sounds like a good choice (Provided he doesn’t restart building Sentinels 🤣)
Still… it comes down to US voter mentality, mindset. I’ve read and posted the gist of books and essays on the subject and this pic mentions education:

In the Netflix series, there were competing mob factions. One of them was Asian and they operated from the ports to smuggle weapons and drugs. The show could move on from the Kingpin to Asian mobs and that might be the storyline to bring in ninjas etc. We’ll see
When I read Miller’s run on the title, it made me wonder “What are ninjas doing on 48th and 10th?”. It was comics and explained that the Kingpin could hire elite assassins. That might not go over well on streaming, but an Asian mob succeeding Fisk it might work that way.

I had a thanks to njerry posting… I have always been railing about voter mentality for the longest. The US has been called a “stupid country” and there have been books touching on the sociology of people voting against their best interests, voting to spite others, single issue, ignorance, being fickle, not seeing the bigger picture etc. and then always these questions of “Why can’t the US have some of these cool national programs like in other countries?” (As one book said when it came to things that used to be exclusive only to them, they would rather not have that benefit that would be all inclusive. They would vote against it out of spite just to deprive the rest.)
Some of the MAGA voters are regretting their decisions only because it’s starting to affect their bottom line. They really voted for others to be the target and are upset now that they did not see how interconnected things were. They never expected it, but they ended up voting for their own foreclosure, being let go from work, paying more overall (gas, groceries). Some ended up voting for their own deportation. It’s all a mess.

Wow.
The groups En Vogue, TLC, and Salt n Pepper announced a revival/nostalgia tour, but then news came out that TLC member (Chilli) donated to the MAGA presidential campaign and posted about Michelle Obama.
And I know about her battle with sickle cell anemia. She practically took action for the research to be defunded. She is another voter who doesn’t see the larger picture, how interconnected things are

So George Perez based some Titans characters off of some celebs. The same with Byrne and now I find this out:
As for Claremont, he based the Hellfire Club off of an episode of “The Avengers” and “Days of Future Past” off of “Day of the Daleks”.
Now his first wife worked with him at Marvel and she was Wiccan and even had a store in the West Village back in the 70s and it showed in some of his X men writings.

Always liked Easter Eggs where one company has a brief thinly veiled acknowledgement of the other. These are from Quasar, and they pick up on what happened to Barry Allen after he ran and “disappeared” in DC Crisis on Infinite Earths. Where did he go?

It will get better. I’ve seen the trailers of who is coming later on. I was outside the church were they filmed an episode. Charlie Cox was right in front of me and the security guy told me no pics of him. I did get Wilson Bethel (Bullseye) though.
Production wise, not entirely but it feels like Netflix but with Disney budget. Makes me wonder how much more the Netflix seasons would have been.
As for the Kingpin NYC regime and the Anti Vigilante Task Force, it is such thinly veiled social/politcal commentary, reminiscent of… but I can’t quite put my finger on it 🤣🤣🤣

Valerie Perrine:
“According to The Hollywood Reporter, in 1969… Perrine was romantically involved with celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring and was invited to — but did not attend — the infamous 1969 dinner party at the home of Sharon Tate where Sebring, Tate, and several others were killed by the Manson Family in the now-infamous Tate-LaBianca murders.”
Wow. RIP

Didn’t expect the World Baseball Classic to be like this. Lot of national pride.
In that case, might as well remove baseball from the Olympics. Should remove soccer and tennis as well given the World Cup and Grand Slam tournaments.
Regarding removing, maybe relocate the Summer Olympics from LA. Is it too late to relocate the World Cup games from the US?

WNBA update:
I hope the players get this. Some of them have to play overseas in the off season to supplement. Never made enough on the league alone unless they got a huge sneaker or sports gear endorsement contract.
Also for most, the only time they look into women’s sports is when the men’s sports season is slow, who is cute or “hot”, some suspicion of who might be trans, or some back and forth story involving race.

Doesn’t matter; Rubio’s as much a racist as Hegseth and Trump.
True, and I have friends in Miami who can testify to that. A little more on this Latin divide:
https://extremearturo.substack.com/p/the-racism-behind-the-cuban-hardlinerLatinos or Hispanics the likes of a Rubio, Salazar, etc. feel that they can blend in with MAGA and even overall society in general. (Tbh, it’s been said that they want to be accepted/adopted etc. as white like the Irish and Italians.) But remarks like what Hegseth said is a reminder that he does not consider Rubio and those Latinos as equals.

A few days ago was a small instance at this Summit meeting. There were Spanish leaders and Marco Rubio spoke Spanish to them and then turned the podium to 47 and Hesgeth. Hesgeth started with “I only speak American”.
It may have been a backhanded slight in that he only recognizes monolingual English speaking as true Americans, implying that he doesn’t care for bilingual Spanish speakers as real authentic Americans. Makes me wonder what was running through Rubio’s mind.

Looking at the record of Casey Means, who is nominated to be Surgeon General: She dropped out of her residency so her medical license became inactive. She does not have a license to practice medicine. Her views are very controversial. Critics are having a field day.
If she gets in, between her and RFK Jr…and the GOP was going on and on about DEI and bringing in genuine qualified people.

I went to YouTube and got a pleasant surprise: YouTube has both seasons of Rock School from the early 80s. It was an educational show about music (lead and bass guitar, drums, keyboards) that played originally on the BBC and when PBS aired it in the States, they put in Herbie Hancock as host with brief introductions.
(There were two small segments that were cut because of copyright laws)
Each episode described the different styles and techniques on playing rock, heavy metal, reggae, r&b,funk, synth…
Bought back some nice memories.

I passed by a friend’s house and she was watching the JFK Jr. story on Netflix. Looking back at that time, he gave a speech at the Dem National Convention and got noticed by everyone as “all grown up”. He was followed by media and was practically a prince of NYC. But it was 27 year ago, 1999. Makes me wonder if he would have been a Dem candidate about now had they never got on that plane.
As for a long time ago: This year’s 9/11 observation will be 25 years. Someone 30 years old now was 5 at the time. Sometimes it’s hard to see events as being that long ago.

FWIW, there is video and pictures online of Middle Eastern countries and areas back in the 50s to the early 70s. Countries like Iran, Iraq, Beirut, Afghanistan, and Palestine before these extreme destabilizations. Incredible how modernized they all were before and seeing them all now in the news the past decades.
