Thing I just learned. “Lede” as in “bury the lede” is a deliberate misspelling of “lead”. It’s part of a lexicon of misspellings used for annotations by journalists and subs so that notes on copy are removed, rather than included in the body of the text by accident. Others include “dek” and “hed”.

2 things:
1) I am woefully behind on the next OSP but hope to get to it soon.
2) Got to tell Tini Howard how much I appreciated how she wrote Pete last night, and that felt good. Never be afraid to tell a creator what their work means to you!

Something to get excited about: Tomorrow the CXFamily shares our DC KO brackets. Who will win? Who put all their money on Guy Gardner? Who will wipe out in the first round?
