Grabbing the symbol of an award and putting it on your own head is loser behavior.

No way does Commissioner Gordon ever hold his gun sideways like this. He’s an old-school Chicago cop, not a 1990s rapper. Bad form, Batman and Robin no. 19.

Surely I’m not the only one who’s adopted this @siouxfallscityfc.bsky.social Official League to also root for Man City. Looking forward to seeing SFSC in person in Madison next season!

Team crests belong on the left, not the center of the chest. I like everything about Sunderland’s kit except the crest placement.

“Old Man Too Weak to Lift Trophy” would be my headline. It will soon be on his desk or near him at all times; someone needs to ask him to lift it for a photo.

Without an effective and 100% credible U.S. security guarantee within NATO, Germany would be foolish not to have strategic nuclear weapons. A weak U.S. security commitment to our allies is nuclear proliferation.

Where are all these hands he’s shaking? A favorite historical artifact of mine is a cast of Abraham Lincoln’s hands after his 1860 nomination; his right hand was swollen to double size by all the handshaking he had just done.

Even Vladimir Putin didn’t demand that FIFA award him a fake trophy when his country hosted the World Cup. And Putin routinely demands fake trophies.

Prancer is both a sappy but wholesome modern family Christmas movie and also a terrific film. Sam Elliott can elevate literally any script, and he elevates the heck out of this one. As does the actor who plays his daughter. This should not be a moving near-masterpiece of a movie, yet it is.

I’ve been saving Absolute Batman until it was several arcs in. Finally reading it. My main reactions are 1) I don’t hate it, as I expected I would; and 2) White Knight remains my favorite Batman mythos remix. By a large margin.

Kind of amazing to me that the New York Times let The Daily call the birds “Canadian Geese.” This isn’t even sophisticated fact-checking that takes a New Yorker staff; this is check-a-dictionary copyediting.

If there’s one thing white guys admire less than an astronaut, it’s a naval aviator. White dudes just absolutely despise those guys. If you’re a politician supported almost exclusively by white guys, the astronaut military pilot is the exact right guy to pick a fight with. </sarcasm>

Kind of surprised MAGA idiots haven’t made a big deal of the old nickel, which has Jefferson in profile. Versus the current nickel, minted starting in 2006 but becoming common in the Obama era with a cartoony forward-facing Jefferson. Reminded by change picked up today from the gas station.
