You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

We've seen GOP-style "relief" before. Actual family-owned farms won't get enough of the money to stay solvent for long, most of the bailout will go to corporate agribusiness operations who will then buy up still-struggling family farms. Not a bug, works as designed.

Wild that these clowns think that "But me and my investors can't make zillions of dollars if we have to obey copyright and trademark laws!" is anything other than an admission of guilt.

Spreading the word will inform others who haven’t bought tickets already, at least, and that’s good.

Well, we do know one guy who fits the bill completely and has a "little toadstool," so...

Me looking at 16 cool crowdfunding campaigns launching today by great creators I've backed before and then finding a dozen more new-to-me campaigns for ttrpg or comic book stuff that look great.

Michael Rosenbaum also does a great job, but just doesn't have the same quality of material to work with, which just underscores how great Clancy is as Lex.

Lex Luthor, having taken over the Flash's body, looks in a mirror and says, "If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity," and then takes off the mask, after which he adds, "I have no idea who this is."

Same on all counts! Also, he is so absurdly good in "The Great Brain Robbery" words can't do it justice.

Alt: The Flash, in Lex Luthor's body, says he's not going to wash his hands after using the restroom, "Because I'm evil."

One of my favorite things about the DCAU (my favorite version of the DCU in any medium) is how they started with the 80s businessman version of Lex and then through JL/JLU went through the 70s proper supervillain version and landed on armor-wearing Lex Luthor. Not just good times, GREAT times...

It would be really great if a governor from a large state could run great Trump opposition while also NOT being an oil and tech-bro friendly shithead who gets off on victimizing the homeless and LGBTQ+ communities. *sigh*

Maybe never voting Republican ever again would help -- because voting Republican hasn't really worked out for you guys...or America, or the world...

That sucks. Not having dedicated health care professionals you can trust, let alone afford, is shitty.
