This is the meaning of Superman, captured better than any photo I've ever seen.

Of course, the men of Gondor were unable to protect Middle-Earth, and the threat of Sauron was only stopped when hobbits and men teamed up with those of other races and cultures, and worked together for the betterment of all.

Look for joy man. I know it’s hard right now but even in the face of it all there is joy. When you succumb to the bile they win.

Bestsellers to Blockbusters: Stephen King Reflects on the Adaptations of His Work In 2025, four of my novels and two short stories were adapted either for films or as streaming TV shows. I find this befuddling, perplexing, and downright peculiar. Alsoβ€”okay, yeahβ€”pretty cool. Par…

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Oh I thought there would be more dirt. Currently Cocoon is not on any streaming services, because of a possible issue between the composer of the film score, and his estate and the streaming rights for the film. It is currently not available anywhere.

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,
 
Charles M. Schulz"

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

There are people who should be making atonement and asking for forgiveness today who absolutely will not and never will and who think that this deficit in their humanity is somehow a virtue.
