Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men.

If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

A child whose world is lost when politicians reject science.
A baby sent across an ocean of stars to seek the safety of another land.
A refugee embraced by America who uses his great power to help everyone on Earth.
A kind and humble hero who challenges a cruel and narcissistic billionaire.
A man who can be anything who chooses to be a journalist for truth and justice. 
A symbol of hope pushing back against fear. 
A smile. A friend.
This is the time for Superman.

The Marchand piece comes off quite poorly, and he never really makes his case. He took one slightly self-congratulatory quote from Reali (on a well-deserved farewell media tour) and turned it into a mean-spirited takedown.

Also, I disagree with you on this being a show for young people.

Washington’s Nathan Green crosses the finish line first in the Penn Relays DMR, ahead of Oregon, Texas A&M and Virginia.

As usual, the #PennRelays distance medley was a thriller. The University of Washington’s Nathan Green outkicked the field to give the Huskies their first Penn men’s title. @pennrelays.bsky.social

American marathoning suddenly has a new (and unlikely) contender: Matt Richtman won the #LAMarathon last week in a sensational 2:07:56. I caught up with him for @trackandfieldnews.bsky.social to find out more about his breakthrough. trackandfieldnews.com/matt-richtma...

You're wrong on this one, Senator. And you will never get my vote again if you go along with this Republican scam.

Wow. Unbelievable world indoor record in the 3000 meters for Grant Fisher at the #MillroseGames at the Armory. 7:22.91 to outkick Olympic 1500 champ Cole Hocker. πŸ”₯

I was already looking forward to this, but #Superman had me all-in at Krypto!

In a wild finish at the #MerrieMile this morning in Honolulu, @nikkihiltz.bsky.social took the win in 4:28.39, just ahead of Weini Kelati (4:28.49) and Sinclaire Johnson (4:28.54). The men's field started 32 seconds behind, and a fast-closing Hobbs Kessler (3:56.51) finished fourth overall.
