Elizabeth Olsen here, accidentally putting her finger on why Marvel movies aren't as good as they used to be.

Trade Paperback of JLA: Salvation Run.

I'm suddenly compelled to read this again... can't imagine why. :)

Never listen to fans. We're idiots who demand the thin gruel of cameos & references over the nourishing meal of story & character & our appetite will never be sated.

Loved the Peacemaker finale. No spoilers but I love how @jamesgunn.bsky.social prioritises what's right for the story & the characters over what fans say they want. It's like he's taking the DCU in the opposite direction of ehere the MCU is going & it's ultimately a much more satisfying experience.

Planetarium Nights: The Space Between Gaze into the space between the stars and watch the story of the universe unfold.

If anyone is in or near Bristol tonight and wants to try something new, how about a live presented Planetarium show about dark matter, gravitational waves, dark energy, the Big Bang, and the end of the Universe?

You're absolutely right, that wouldn't work at all.

It's interesting that people got that impression. I felt the meta-message in issue #1 was that the characters are sick of being rebooted and are willing to actively fight against it. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I hate how inevitable it is that within a few years, the people in this article will be MPs and/or opinion columnists and there will be literally no escape anywhere from their mad opinions & their obnoxious and contrived oddness.

The Association of Science and Discovery Centres is calling on the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to safeguard these vital institutions for the next generation… 2/3

For over 25 years, science and discovery centres have been at the heart of inspiring millions of people to explore, question, and be part of UK science and technology.

But they're seriously under threat… 1/3

The cover of Action Comics #1091 by Michael Cho, depicting Superboy, Lana Lang, Pa & Ma Kent.

No spoilers, but in Action Comics #1091, @markwaid.bsky.social just did his own interpretation of what the Man of Steel movie was going for with Pa Kent's infamous death scene - and it was fantastic! I always admired what that scene was trying to do, so to see it done so well in the comic was great.

Happy birthday!!!

That's horrifying! :D Does Captain Scarlet ever experience any existential angst about this???

Something I never understood as a kid - Is Captain Scarlet actually Captain Scarlet? Or is he a Mysteron with Captain Scarlet's memories & and personality?

My favourite of these is Bill Kerr passing away while enjoying an episode of Seinfeld.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Also, is James Robinson's Scarlet Witch any good?

There's a Moon Knight sale on Kindle. Anyone got any recommendations?

I love this episode because the plot is literally about an experimental super-rifle getting stolen after Cowley gives it to Doyle to take home and play with over the weekend.

The nearby G-type star 51 Pegasi.

World-renowned Swiss astronomers Didier Queloz and Michel Mayor of the Geneva Observatory are seen here in front of ESO’s 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile. The telescope hosts HARPS, the world’s leading exoplanet hunter (pic: L. Weinstein/Ciel et Espace Photos)

#OTD 3️⃣0️⃣ years ago, 6 October 1995, Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of the first exoplanet seen orbiting a Sun-like star (51 Pegasi b, a massive 'hot Jupiter' type). This earned them the Nobel Prize in physics 🧪🔭 #SpaceHistory

I was really nervous about making this one, but I think we've done a good job. If you live in or near Bristol & fancy getting your mind blown on a Thursday night, then check it out.

The two Starfleet officers involved in the transporter accident that created Liberace.

I feel like this was a potential banger post, but I should have chosen funnier Ians.

"When Labour negotiates, British Ian loses."

the job they've been elected to do, and are being paid to do. You have to treat the people who put you there with respect (and the people who didn't put you there!). But Reform, revealingly, don't have an ounce of respect for the UK public.

Why don't Reform councillors turn up to committees? Contempt for their voters. Why do they stand down after a few weeks, going "This job is too hard". Contempt for their voters. Why don't their MPs ever visit their constituencies or hold surgeries? Contempt for their voters. They don't want to do

People are being very generous by saying they were probably too stupid to know they wouldn't be able to fulfil their manifesto commitment. But I think it's more likely they knew, and were happy to promise the impossible out of contempt to their voters.

Nazi thugs though, they're completely fine with them. It's a government run by cowards either scared into compliance or active sympathisers. Absolutely nothing but the most sincere contempt for every bootlicker among them.

Just watched the episode where Bobby rescues a drowning pig and Luanne is briefly a communist. I love this show so much.
