I made the bike ride to the town where I was born, 12 km away, last weekend. I stopped doing that a while ago, because of physical aches and pains, so I was a bit afraid that it would be hard to do, but it went very well. The weather was perfect for a bike ride.
That’s great, Arjan!! I hope you keep doing it; exercise and a change of scenery are a wonderful, physically and mentally healthy combination!

“The script wasn’t quite there but more importantly it didn’t work in terms of the larger DCU both in terms of the story and practical concerns,” Gunn wrote in a post on Threads. “Maybe some day. Not soon.”
Well, that’s what everbody thought when they announced it, wasn’t it? Glad Gunn caught up.
Agreed. The Authority fit in the context of the WildStorm Universe; they don’t belong in a universe where Superman should be the strongest hero, Batman the smartest strategist, Flash the fastest, etc. Putting Apollo and Midnighter alongside Superman and Batman makes no sense in the comics, and makes worse sense on the big screen.
ON THE OTHER HAND… if someone wants to establish a separate WildStorm Cinematic Universe, I’m more than happy to buy tickets for that!! I’ll even let Gunn direct the Gen13 film!

As a Marvelite circa 1970, Roy Thomas was my favorite writer, followed closely by Gerry Conway. His run on The Amazing Spider-Man included the death of Gwen Stacy and the introduction of the Punisher. Thank you, Mr. Conway, for so many years of entertainment. RIP

The primary reason that the Marvel Unlimited costs subscriptions are relatively inexpensive is that they are subsidized by the sale of print copies at the local comics shops. If the majority of fans go digital, Marvel would have to increase the subscription fees and/or drastically reduce their output of monthly books; and those comics shops that have supported the industry through thick and thin would find themselves without paper products to sell. Many of these shops have already been struggling, and it won’t take much loss to force many stores to close permanently. Which would suck.

But who can the Dems “develop” now as a viable candidate?
Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, former astronaut who is married to a victim of gun violence, who reminded members of the military that they can refuse to follow illegal orders from their Commander-in-Chief, and currently has a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth for trying to strip him of his military rank and benefits. I think he can appeal to both conservatives and liberals (and maybe some non-MAGA Republicans as well).

Most people vote for the candidate they think is best for the country.
If that was true, Trump would not have won in 2024. The real truth is that people vote for the candidate who they think is going to make their lives personally better, regardless of what that means for the country.
If people wanted what was best for the country, then multi-millionaires and billionaires would happily pay their fair share of taxes to improve our infrastructure, our education system, and especially our health care system.
If people wanted what was best for the country, then we would welcome immigrants who are willing to perform the menial labor jobs (harvesting crops, stocking shelves, working on assembly lines, providing janitorial services in our schools and hospitals, etc) that we don’t want to do but which are necessary to keep our economy and everyday lives moving smoothly.
If people wanted what was best for the country, we wouldn’t elect an incompetent, arrogant, thin-skinned convicted felon and suspected pedophile who actively insults our allies and neighbors and puts into effect laws and tariffs and military actions that turn us into a pariah state.

Honestly it’s tough to blame people for their votes. People are often raised in a bubble and influenced in ways that make them vote some way, like evangelical Christians. To some extent it overrides free will.
I’m sorry, Arjan, but that’s just bullshit. I cannot excuse people who vote mindlessly.
Every person who has the right to vote also has a responsibility to make an informed choice about which candidate they should give their vote to. Many Americans spend more time deciding what teams to pick on their March Madness betting poll, or what color to pick for the new car they buy, than they do on choosing who to vote for to run their country for the next 4 years.
I want my vote to reflect the issues and national direction that matter to me, not what matters to my employer, or my union bosses, or to the archbishop of my church, or the guys I play poker with on Thursday night.

Oh, I finished the first season of The Silo, and I’m kind of stuck in a trap here. It’s not a great show (in spite of having both Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins, and a good premise), but it’s not bad enough to actively drive me away, and I am interested in the resolution. So I’ll keep watching, but it’s very annoying because I know I could spend my time watching some way better shows – not to mention movies – that I haven’t caught up on. Sigh.
That’s kinda my dilemma with the new season of Daredevil: Born Again. I mean, the previous season was waaaaay better than the original Netflix seasons, but that’s like saying an infected tooth is better than food poisoning. Or something…

State government in New Jersey (where I live) have cracked down hard on motorized bicycles and scooters. New rules that came into effect last year include:
* Riders must be at least 15 years old
* Riders must have an official driver’s license or a motorized bicycle license (effective July 2026)
* Vehicles must be registered and insured
* Vehicles are prohibited on sidewalksThese rules may read like an over-reaction; but a month ago my wife almost got run down as she turned a corner by a kid speeding down the sidewalk on a motorized bike. Luckily he squeezed on his brake and swerved at the last second, otherwise she would have been seriously injured. As far as I’m concerned, a motorized vehicle should be on the road, not the sidewalk, whether it is a scooter, a bicycle, or an 18-wheel tractor-trailer; sidewalks are for pedestrians and for manually propelled vehicles.

In a world ravaged by super villains, the former Wolverine seeks to live in peace. If only they’d let him. Forced into a cross-country jaunt through villain-ruled lands, Old Man Logan is on a collision course with the worst of them all! Then, on the Battleworld of SECRET WARS, the Wastelands return — and Old Man Logan faces fresh horrors! And when the Marvel Universe is reborn, he somehow wakes up in the present, before the Wasteland — determined to prevent his nightmarish future from coming to pass! High on his hit list: the Hulk! But his mission won’t be an easy one — and as he encounters heroes and villains both familiar and unfamiliar, his greatest adversary may prove to be his own past!

I heard someone say that really good cheese has to be close to disgusting. The special flavor elements in good cheese have to be very outspoken and striking and strong tasting, like in a stinky French cheese. The same is true for good Dutch cheese.
Staying with a cousin in England a few years ago, I bought a cheese called Stinking Bishop at a local shop, ate some of it (it was delicious!) and put the rest in her refrigerator intending to eat it later. A few days later I flew back to the US. Speaking to her a while later, she mentioned that after I left she smelled a horrible odor in her kitchen and thought that her dog had made a poo somewhere in the room…until she opened the refrigerator and found the Stinking Bishop.

Did you buy bread, milk and eggs? Those seem to be the mandatory purchases when faced with snow.
I’ve never understood this sudden urge to buy groceries ahead of a storm, particularly if you live in the New York City area. Tomorrow’s storm, while large, is expected to end by midday Monday, so by Tuesday morning things will be close enough to normal (streets and sidewalks plowed, most subways running, etc). Is the average New Yorker’s pantry/regrigerator SOO empty that you can’t survive one day without buying groceries?
Personally, I just need to make sure I have enough gas for my snowblower.

Depending on how well Governor Tim Walz responds to the current shitstorm in Minnesota, he could be a viable candidate for the White House in 2028. He handled himself well on the campaign trail as Kamala’s running mate, and he’s been pushing back against Trump’s Gestapo tactics in Minnesota; if he ends up getting credit for making Trump and ICE back down, that would make him look strong.

What can the Democrats actually do at the moment to stop all the shit that Trump is perpetuating?
Like Arjan says, they can use their pulpit to speak out against the excessive abuses of ICE; they can repeatedly use their powers to remind the nation that Trump’s administration has ignored a COURT ORDER to release all the Epstein files; they can go on all the national news channels and raise questions about his sanity and ability to perform his Presidential duties in the face of all the fucked-up shit he’s been pulling lately from his witch-hunting of any politician who dares to speak out against him, to his punishing of primarily-Democrat states by withholding funding of programs in those states, to his attempts to control Venezuela and Greenland despite the questionable legality and ethics of such actions… the list goes on.
Honestly, lately there seems to be more Republicans than Dems willing to go on camera to censure Trump for his maniacal behavior. IF the Democratic Party chiefs think their current strategy is making the party stronger, they are sadly mistaken.

But they are all right now out of politics and private citizens, but still the frustration and this taking it out on the old guard, low hanging fruit.
No need to blame the old guard Dems, there are plenty of current Democrats who rightly deserve to be shamed for their lack of action and response to the Republican offenses, starting with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Senate and House leaders, respectively. Where are they while Trump is censuring Mark Kelly, and while the DOJ is investigating Tim Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis? Where is DNC Chairman Ken Martin? Has he started the groundwork yet to find and groom the next Democratic candidate for the 2028 election?
The more I notice that the Democratic Party is literally doing NOTHING, the easier it is to believe that they are in league with Trump, both actively and passively, to line their pockets at the expense of every US citizen who isn’t in the Top 2 percent. The only thing I see them doing, honestly, is sending me texts and Instagram messages asking for donations to support their re-election campaigns.
