  • My open tabs across two windows all need to pass muster or be closed at the start of the week.

    They usually number between 4 and 12. But mid process might get up into the 30s.

    Compared to many people, especially posting here, I know they are "rookie numbers" .

    But who is the real rookie, the one who knows how to control their open tabs without closing all of them, or the one who can’t close a tab at all?




  • That disabled people, LGBTQ folks, as well as Roma and other Travellers aren’t there, is telling.

    But it is also heartening that the only real domestic policy loss the Nazis took was their anti-disabled people one. Mass protests and resistance against it worked to hold back the death and sterilisation machine.

    I also assume the poem is only once in power, as the SA were killing socialists and Jews in an unofficial basis long before Hitler became Chancellor.



  • I think so and agree with you.

    I’ll add that I think Ollie gets a better treatment with it than Bruce, and Marvel’s Tony who is a bit of a dick, do. (Pym and Incredible both manage to keep inventing game-changing things that never change the order or structure of society or economics, which is relayed to where I’m gonna go but also different in some ways).

    I haven’t read a lot of Green Arrow, but have enjoyed what I have.

    I do remember reading one story that began with Ollie volunteering in Africa working on water infrastructure (not sure if he was also funding things). He takes actions allowed within the confines of the editorial line to fit the views his character espouses.

    But to keep relatablity any never ending story, i.e. the soap opera for boys of serialised comics, will tend towards the status quo of our real world. They can’t show us a better way to live, as how we live needs to be the normal and mostly ideal. So Genosha must fall, Metropolis must be a normalish city, and Gotham remains close to a platonic ideal of the upper-middle class’s view of crime infested 80s New York. (Not the original, but seems to have shifted to it from the gangstery 1950s it once was in pre-modern Batman).

    Edit: I think this is also actually in part what has led me to become more a fan of Superman as I get older.
