Duplicate Boy is nearly sliced in two by The Persuader in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #219 (September 1976).

He does not survive this. His body is placed in a stasis chamber, because no one can heal him.

January 30, 1938 – Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children) likely premieres.

The earliest ads are from late Feb. 1938, claiming the film was "in its final week!" Films were oftened released on Sundays in the 1930s, so I'm suggesting a release date of January 30.

Lord help us. That moral rot was apparent 25 years ago. To think that MAGA only "just" exposed it in Minneapolis is the height of stupidity.

Patrick Schiltz, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, cataloged 96 court orders ICE had violated in 74 different cases.

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026,” the judge wrote, “than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
