I finally watched the new Superman movie. It is my new favorite since the Christopher Reeve movie. The cast is excellent. The story was great and was a message of hope. If this becomes a Justice League franchise, I'd likely watch more.

Just unfollowed a bunch of folks for not using metatags or content warnings in their posts about politics and gun violence. People use filters for a reason. I don't need the news reposted for me.

We’re in the business of keeping independent bookstores in business 🤍📚
