Was it something I said?

Well, so far I haven't. Thanks for the thought, anyway!

Too long without a Max the cat post.

Miguel Ferrer at an Austin, Texas, park, sitting under a playground bridge watching stunt filming for "Blank Check" and talking life philosophies.

Seen it. Loved it. I want to see an intervention for Supergirl and a Lantern become her sponsor. Kara's actions endanger Krypto's mental health. Her absence triggers Krypto and causes all the crazy acting out. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.

I Love Christopher Reeve, But an Underrated Superman Actor Deserves More Recognition For Gen X and Elder Milennials, Christopher Reeve is the definitive Superman in live action, but 1950s TV star George Reeves deserves more respect.

We have our tickets. BTW, George Reeves was my Superman. At 3 (1964), I put on a towel as cape, put a chair on the cinderblock patio, yelled "up, up, and away!" Jumped into the air and found out headfirst I'm no superman. Look closely at my brow and you can see the scar.

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Murkowski, Sullivan vote for budget reconciliation bill that could cause thousands of Alaskans to lose health benefits

Here's how Lisa Murkowski's vote is playing atop the site for her state's biggest newspaper.

I'm out. Going to a forest to ponder my life choices and follow wild bees in hopes of finding their hive. I've put bee islands in my yard so I can chat with them first.

@floydwhaley.bsky.social Howdy! Just thought I'd drop in. This is fine!

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social I was trying to recall the name of a 1950s novel that possibly influenced the X-men creation Sunday for the Velocity Comics attendants. It's "Children of the Atom" by Wilmar H. Shiras, published in 1953.

Yes please! Thank you!

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social Sunday, Ember took me to her favorite comic book store - Velocity in Richmond. I bought "The Best of Godzilla" vol. 1. Found out about "Godzilla vs. the Avengers" and wondering how to get one Wednesday - will there be any left @fourcolorfantasies.bsky.social ?

Hand-drawn art on my handmade Father's Day card. Beautiful.

National protest organizers told people not to protest in DC because “Trump might declare martial law,” says one organizer. These people said “fuck that.” And they’re marching to the White House.

KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: 1. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 2. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. 3. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. 4. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. 5. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. 6. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney - no matter your citizenship or immigration status. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS ACLU

My shoebox full of sources' and readers' "thank you" letters do, though.

June 7: Anniversary of 1998 murder of James Byrd Jr. in Jasper, Texas, that led to stronger hate crime laws nationwide.
Worked for Port Arthur News then, met U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, D-Md., 7th District - then NAACP president. Mfume recalls the murder as a turning point in fighting hate crimes.
