Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Mary Jane Watson(-Parker) swinging through the Manhattan skyline.

Since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share my favorite fictional comics couple. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Mary Jane "MJ" Watson(-Parker). I like that they prove the power of fandom. They weren't supposed to be a thing, but they became THE iconic pairing because people liked them.

We should go through Nena's song catalog to see if she has any OTHER apocalyptic prophecies that might come true because our administration is incompetent.

Justice Democrats endorse Kat Abughazaleh in IL-09

We're so proud to announce our newest endorsement: @katmabu.bsky.social in #IL09.

Kat has spent her career doing what so many voters are desperate to see the Democratic Party do: fight back against Republican extremism and fight for everyday people.

Let's give AIPAC another loss.

Support Kat Abughazaleh for Congress! Show your support with a contribution.

She is the type of progressive leadership we need in Congress — leadership that isn't too afraid to take on AIPAC or corporate PACs to defeat right-wing fascism or corporate corruption in the Democratic Party.

At once, she took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.

And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought
that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden.

"However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out 'The race is over!' and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, 'But who has won?'"

If you are using one of those cute AI-generated cartoons to promote your business, I am less likely to patronize your business. The environmental damage isn't worth the cuteness.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

"The General" opens in NYC. Louise Brooks asked Buster Keaton of his under-the-table scene, “You were terribly beautiful in its tragic lighting, Buster, so out of key with your comic character—I can’t understand why you didn’t cut that shot out of the picture.”

“Nay, I shan’t! You do it!—That I won’t, then!—Bill’s to go down—Here, Bill! the master says you’re to go down the chimney!”
“Oh! So Bill’s got to come down the chimney, has he?” said Alice to herself. “Shy, they seem to put everything upon Bill! I wouldn’t be in Bill’s place for a good deal."

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

NEWS BREAK: Less than one year after assuming control of the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts for no sensible reason whatsoever, Donald Trump has successfully destroyed it.

We now return you to Donald Trump's destruction of America, already in progress.

"How can I have done that?" she thought. "I must be growing small again."

Sal was amazing. I bought this issue the day it was on the newsstands. These pages were the first time a comic book made me cry. RIP, Sal Buscema.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I saw "Song Sung Blue" today and there was much about it to like, but I was especially impressed with Kate Hudson's accent. She genuinely sounded like she was born and bred in M'waukee, 'Sconsin. 👍🍻

The tree is coming down this weekend. These were the last two ornaments to go up, added after Christmas.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

I've been binge watching this show called Fireplace for weeks now.

I was told that Congress was finally back in session today.

How, exactly, are we going to be able to tell?

All it takes is one bad gig.

Scene from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.
