Today is the birthday of writer Bill Finger (Feb. 8, 1914-Jan. 18, 1974), who took Bob Kane’s initial idea & developed it into the Batman we know today. He also wrote the first appearance of the original Green Lantern, and cocreated Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, Lana Lang, Wildcat, Riddler, & more.

The family were holidaying in Quindalup, 250km south of Perth, when strong winds pushed their inflatable paddleboards and kayak offshore from Geographe Bay. Continue reading...

OK, here's a Paul Newman story:
A friend of mine was once in rehearsal for a play that Joanne Woodward was directing, and for at least a while they were rehearsing in the Newmans' apartment.

A lot of people in law enforcement in my family. You know how long they've hated ICE? From the jump. ICE and Homeland Security were formed in 2003 as a response to the 9/11 attacks. Cops normally love governmental support, but that's never been what ICE is about. 🧵

Modern celebrity is so strange. Imagine Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh having to spend press tours hooked up to a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, reading out erotic fan letters to each other, eating hot wings, or just crying in every interview.
