Bart Allen aka Impulse stands at a stop after running, his hair waving behind him in the direction he has run. He is in a kind of strange track suit style version of his classic red & white impulse superhero outfit with matching trainers as he raises a thumbs up as he stands with a large grin & crossed arms a yellow glow & lightning flashes behind him in the direction he has run

Wally West stands still after running, yellow glowing electricity behind him. He has a lop sided grin & a raised eyebrow & is in his shiny almost plastic looking early 1990s looking Flash costume with the white eyes

"As an arc opener, and an event tie-in no less, Justice League Unlimited #12 stands as a surprisingly poignant character-oriented tale."

‘Justice League Unlimited’ #12 is a meditative calm before the storm
Time-displaced Leaguers take center stage in a melancholy arc opener.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

It is a big lift, but no library should be closed for more than one week without an alternative location that has an indoor area and bathrooms.

It's about more than books. It's using a restroom with dignity, getting out of the rain, or going somewhere to occupy a child's time without spending $.

“Loving families who are struggling to keep their children alive are being hounded by social services… the NHS, and in some cases, also being hounded by the police.”

Devastating comments by @goodlawproject.org in the podcast on “Fighting Britain’s Bathroom Ban” 😢

And there's a pretty good case to say that the on the ground present reality for trans people in Britain is worse than that in the United States. Very good case, I think. I know as a fact that trans kids who joined the NHS waiting list are now being, well, their families are being targeted by social services, threatening to take those children into care, if their parents continue to indulge their transness, and are being visited by the police, if they continue to offer gender-affirming care. And I know for a fact that the consequence of that for some families is that kids are being forcibly de-transitioned. And I know for a fact that in the UK, many, many families are profoundly worried about losing their kids to suicide. So parents are sleeping on mattresses at the end of their children's beds because they are so worried about what their children might do if given the opportunity. My email inbox, I'm afraid, is a river of profound trauma from loving families who are struggling to keep their children alive and who are being hounded by social services, hounded by the NHS, which is misusing data that it has collected to offer supportive health care to these kids, and in some cases, also being hounded by the police. And I've been saying now for several years, and I say again to those who are lucky enough to have this choice. The United Kingdom is not a safe place to raise trans children unless you are very wealthy. I'm sorry to be so blunt about it, but these are things I know to be true, and I see the trauma in my inbox.

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.
Alt text: Miss Major with long wavy gray hair sits outdoors in a chair, wearing a brightly colored geometric-patterned dress. She looks thoughtful and serene, with her hands resting in her lap. Trees and plants surround her in the background, giving the scene a peaceful setting. The image appears as a social media post with text and engagement icons below.

The Post-Crisis / Byrne era of Superman comics was a period that really pushed the idea of Metropolis being a real-life big city (lots of empty fast food wrappers on the ground, etc) and nobody but nobody executed that better than Jerry Ordway. His DC universe was a place with Starros AND Sbarros

Superman, by Jerry Ordway & Anthony Tollin, from 1991’s Who’s Who In The DC Universe.

Many artists have created splendid takes on The Man Of The Steel. But few can equal Ordway, whose Superman always feels thoroughly authentic and nigh-on definitive.
