Beyond crazy and dangerous, yet another reminder that Trump and his billionaire class has no idea what life costs for most people. Combine that with the fact that he doesn't give a shit about anyone else, and it's wild to consider where all of this is going to lead. It won't be great.

Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

Only a few publishers introduced new superhero titles in the 50s, after the genre had dominated the 40s. Ajax-Farrell had a brief burst of new titles in the middle of the decade (with old and new characters, including the Phantom Lady), although none of them lasted more than a handful of issues.

Bloody Knife, Indian scout for Custer, both of whom died at Little Bighorn, thanks to Custer's ego, mainly.

Walked down to get the mail and recognized the familiar outline of a police SUV at the end of the lot, and then noticed two more. Three cops were on a second floor landing listening to a younger guy, sitting in a chair, who seemed to be trying to explain his broken mindset. Made me unusually sad.

From my daughter, an original member of Generation Lockdown: "Living in the US, trying to find news on a mass shooting that happened yesterday in Denver- Google says oh do you mean the one in Tucson, Asheville, Minneapolis or St Louis? Actually none of the above oops😩😭 God dammit..."

I couldn't watch the two most corrupt fart heads on the planet mugging with the World Cup winners, but it has been reported to me that most of the players were doing their best to avoid Captain Diapers picking their pockets, so that's nice to hear.
