Yeah, it was Ben Reilly, because editorial decided we use the present versions of all the characters (I wanted the classic versions of everyone, but I lost the debate). So we kinda pretended it was Peter Parker. www.aol.com/articles/why...

Yesterday, my daughter was on Acatenango in Guatemala, having hiked to 13,000 feet for a dawn viewing of the Fuego volcano, two miles away. Fuego then started erupting. This is the photo she took, and then the guide said, "We gotta go. Now." Nearby villages were evacuated.
If we weren't so broken, divided and led by corrupt rapists, this would be the biggest story of the week. But barely a blip. apnews.com/article/trum...

ProPublica@propublica.org · 3d agoThere is little evidence that MAGA influencer Nick Adams’ nonprofit has provided the civics education it claims. A review of the organization's finances show that it has paid Adams and his mother more than half its recent annual revenue.
Whoa. I've never seen this one before.
Norman Rockwell Museum@normanrockwellm.bsky.social · 2d agoFirst published #OnThisDay for the August 3, 1946 cover of The Saturday Evening Post is Norman Rockwell's painting, "Fixing a Flat." This illustration demonstrates that Rockwell’s portrayals of small town life were not exclusively idyllic.
On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

I don't think many people except the Very Online Left care about Hasan Piker, or even know who he is. I also think present Dem leadership has proven itself feckless, gutless, inept, and incapable of competing against, frankly, a bunch of lunatics. Two things can be true at once.
Donie O’Sullivan@donie.bsky.social · 3d ago"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker ... if he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I am out of here," James Carville says on Fox this morning. Reminder: The Left Insurgency airs tonight on CNN at 8p ET.

George Pearkes@peark.es · 6d agoNYT: Musk preparing 9 figure spending campaign in support of Republicans in "swing" states like Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Texas.
The fact that a fair percentage of the American public lives in a fantasy world, completely unfettered by logic, facts, or science, is what makes me think we'll never fix where we are.
Mike Rothschild@rothschildmd.bsky.social · 6d agoThe overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Awful, awful news. So sorry for his loss.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Hmm, there's a huge pile of money missing, and a gaggle of lifelong thieves and conmen is involved. Welp, I guess we'll never figure out what happened to that money!
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · last wk.“ 🇺🇸 has taken in $13 billion from Venezuela. where is that money going?” TRUMP: *gives a rambling, unclear answer that should make you wonder if the proceeds from the oil they pillaged from Venezuela went to him, his family, and his friends*
Kid in his early 20s came up to the table to get books signed on Saturday. He was wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt, which I thought was cool, so I asked if he liked the band or just liked the shirt. He said, "I listen to Def Leppard all the time! Their music is so funny!" Still not sure what he meant.
