Black Panther.

• The Punisher isn't meant to be a role model for police or armed forces.
So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn't get that, you didn't get The Punisher.
• Deadpool is queer. He's pansexual. Fact. If you didn't get that you didn't get Deadpool.
• Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races, and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women's right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances

            Tipp: Lego hat auf seiner Homepage mittlerweile die Bauanleitungen für seine Sets bis zurück zum Jahr 1996 hochgeladen. Mit etwas Kreativität und einem großen Steinevorrat kann man also coole Sets nachbauen, die man sich nie im Original gegönnt hat.

                Federal government to start providing free coronavirus tests once again
                Americans can again order four free tests through covidtests.gov starting Sept. 25.
            
        
    
    
            The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is reviving a program to mail free rapid coronavirus tests to Americans.
Starting Sept. 25, people can request four free tests per household through covidtests.gov.

                                            A warning sign overlooking an elevated hiking path in Jeju-do, Korea. The sign warns the reader to “not lean” and to “watch your step”
                                                
    
    
    
    
            A good warning sign on the whole, but undermined by the graphic. If you don’t want me to lean don’t make it look *so cool.* Never seen a block figure with so much Harrison Ford energy.

            Public health and safety done right: Saw a stage show of “Nanta” in Jeju. Emergency procedures covered fire exits (good), how to use extinguishers and hoses (bonus!) then went next-level with EMS activation and a practical crash course in CPR in multiple languages. Took no extra time, saves lives. 🧪

            Noted, and incredibly easy to comply with on that route. So. Many. Tunnels. Also gratified to find water and newspaper in easy reach, but the overhead racks would have been a *tight* fit, and nary a single duct tape roll nor baseball team.

                                            Picture of a credit card scanner in Korea reading “Easy Check” but with the “C” in orange on a green background.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            Fun example of not-so-accessible design for the colorblind. Reads “Easy heck” (overconfident) or, if you allow for possible Korean-to-English misspelling “Easy hack” (which legitimately made me pause).

                                            Two cats in a cat tree with a black dog also in the cat tree.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            Happy Caterday to those who observe, and their canine allies.
