We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

"The Flash #27 is another great collaboration by Mark Waid and Christopher Cantwell in a story that provides focus on two of DC's most popular speedsters."

Read @michaelg24.bsky.social's review:
‘The Flash’ #27 is a self-aware sprint
This arc proves tie-ins can still have heart, humor, and purpose.

I’m gonna make the famous Marilyn Monroe stuffing this year, but a small amount in a cast iron. And I can’t help but imagine her in the kitchen upending a bottle of Wild Turkey on the bird while sing-songing “Turkey needs turkey juice, turkey’s thirsty”
Anyone wanna argue about stuffing? Just to feel alive?

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?

You know how quickly the boys found you, Charlie Brown. All those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out, getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI…
Ah, you think darkness is your ally, Charlie Brown?
Is it safe, Charlie Brown?

I generally think that "dead internet theory" is pretty accurate. I think most internet traffic is just data scraping. I don't see a way forward for the tech industry unless the government steps in and starts breaking up companies like Meta and Google.

It was Oswald and the Commission was thorough and in good faith, but only to an extent. It was agenda-driven and focused on enforcing a narrative that cauterized inflaming foreign relations. What it disregarded, ignored, and omitted in favor of that agenda backfired in the form of conspiracy theory.
We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

One of the best music essays I’ve ever read.
Thanks so much to GQ for publishing my liner notes for the new Replacements 'Let It Be' boxset, out on Friday. Extra special thanks to Jessica Hopper, Patterson Hood and Brian Paulson for their extraordinary insights. What an absolute joy this project has been to work on. www.gq.com/story/when-t...
When The Replacements' Courage Was at its Peak
On their 1984 album ‘Let It Be,’ the Minneapolis indie-rock wastrels spewed a message of working-class passion and outsider solidarity into the world's answering machine.
