Don't feel too intimidated. Sometimes Pulitzers go to those who write about important things, rather than people who write WELL about things. (Lois, in so many continuities, is canonically horrible at spelling and grammar...Perry deserves a big chunk of the credit for her articles even being readable.)

Hello, sorry bother you, but:

Rereading your story Third Wheel (which is fantastic); during the introductions between Bruce, Lois, and Clark Bruce mentions reading an interview that Lois had done with Superman. Do you have any plans on writing up one of their interviews or what she was thinking/feeling regarding one of her interviews with The Man of Steel? Your stuff with Louis’s voice and point of view is always a hoot and a half.

Thank you for sharing your writing,

i specifically hate writing lois articles because she's a pulitzer prize winning journalist and that's too much pressure

i might write the interview itself but i wouldn't want to write the article if i could avoid it

That's the Doylist explanation.

IIRC the Watsonian explanation is that he was a major fanboy before he got his powers (which involved a bunch of roughly foot-tall statues of the Legion of Super-Heroes being imbued with their powers for Reasons and getting transferred to him in an accident while he was cleaning up the room in which they were stored). He has all the powers of the then-current lineup of the LSH, but since they're a bunch of people no one in the present has heard of, he models his look after the two main heroes he knows of. Robin gets no respect.

So how exactly is he half Batman, half Superman? He seems like Superman with extra powers. Where’s the Batman?

I thought so, hence using OK rather than okay, but I don't recall it having THAT convoluted a backstory, plus it feels the most like a shitposting meme.

There are few absolute rules, but I think "Never trust an etymology that you read on Tumblr dot com" is one of them.

But, come on, Liberace was just tanking for the rest.

Adam West’s Batman series is known for its campy style. But just how campy was it? At least nine of its Guest Stars playing the series’ villains knew first hand as they were closeted LGBT. Until the last few decades, if an actor was outed in public, their careers would end. So most of these actors never came out to their fans. Some were known to be LGBTQ by their friends or families, and stories about them still linger.

In the next few days I will post about Batman’s Campiest Gay Villains.

OK, now I wanna know which one has the book-length etymology.

I think this is the creation of ADAMA, from Bubblegum Crash.

In the last image you can also see a recent improvement brought about by selective breeding, the mirror antennae that give improved rear vision and reduced blind spots.

why did they start breeding busses to have flat faces. they can't breathe

Good news! All disease reporting is being shut down, so we don't have to be bummed out by this anymore!

Dualistic thinking works in favor of all kinds of bigotry.

The fact: we do need to study how medical treatments work differently on men and women, because assuming that studies done only on cis men will always generalize is a Bad Idea. If nothing else, it pays to make sure there's no difference. Additionally, it'd be a really good idea include anyone on hormone treatments (cis or trans) in the studies any time you think there might be hormonal interactions, just in case. However, centuries of assuming "if it works on cis men, it works on everyone" has almost never resulted in acute problems of the sort an EMT has to deal with. It's mostly quality of life, access to treatment, and long term effects.

The propaganda: OMG Man Drugs will kill Women and vice versa, you could get insta-killed if EMTs think you're not your birth gender! Being trans is DANGEROUS!

the euphemistic nonsensical phrasing of transphobia constantly gets me. like I know it's just bad faith bullshit, but just the implication of an EMT needing to do karyotype testing before treating someone is so absurd it feels like the premise of an over the top satirical comedy sketch about transphobia

The surprising part is that the NY Times actually published the story.

What an unsurprising & completely expected turn of events that literally everyone saw coming 😮

These days, "Superman will mate his parents" would go in a more @kittyunpretty sort of direction, I suspect.

So not only does Superman have to get his parents together, but he finds out they were the Kryptonian equivalents of Nazis

No, that cat is being pranked. Notice at the very end how the air mattress gets SUCKED flat, it's being pumped down for storage while the cat is on top of it.

Also, I suspect that if the air were coming out under the cat's paws, it would've freaked out and jumped.

his ass is too sharp for bed ‼️
