Let's Get Loud: My Favorite Songs, Ever.
The Ataris / All Souls Day / Silver Turns to Rust
Just when I thought The Ataris weren't around anymore, they made a semi-comeback story in the newest Tony Hawk game with this song, All Soul's Day. This track might have something to do with a divorce possibly from lead singer Kris Roe and his ex. The lyrics are simple to sing along to and the beat is pretty consistent and standard to The Ataris. If you like the band, you will like the song.

19.01.09 - Kris Roe (The Ataris) at iBar, Bournemouth
This was a special show. The Ataris’ So Long, Astoria is one of my favourite albums of all time and easily a Top 5 from the 2000’s decade.
My friends Tom Clarke and Mark Davis definitely knew this and when they got the opportunity to put on a Kris Roe solo acoustic show playing SLA in it’s entirety, they very kindly allowed our band to support.
I can still remember getting the text message confirming the gig from Mark during a lecture and being unable to concentrate for the rest of the hour because I was so excited.
It was one of only two shows on this tour where Kris’ played this album, the rest of the shows were the Blue Skies..record. As such, the Bournemouth date sold out. Kris agreed to play a matinee request show so we all ended up spending the day at iBar, where we spent a fair bit of time during these years.
So Long, Astoria had a huge influence on my own lyric writing, I learnt a lot from Kris’ storytelling and how specific choices of words within lines could be used to achieve a very particular effect. Getting to play this show felt like a moment of completion.
Years later when Tom and I ran Saint November Records we acquired the license to press SLA on vinyl. As it happened, Kung Fu Records, who The Ataris were originally signed to, also had similar plans and we ended up leaving it to them to do the honours. Still, having the legal right to re-release the album was another wild moment in life for me.
Something I didn’t have however, as someone playing in a band on the bill, was a ticket. I picked up this one at the end of the night. It has the surname Child on it. I do know a Child, so I think there’s a fair chance this might belong to them.

Reproductive justice campaigners in Arizona on Tuesday vowed to make sure voters "have the ultimate say" on abortion rights after the state Supreme Court upheld an 1864 ban that includes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
"This is a horrifying ruling that puts the lives and futures of countless Arizonans at risk," said Leah Greenberg, co-founder of progressive advocacy group Indivisible. "It's devastating and cruel—and we're fighting back."
The court ruled that since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the right-wing majority on the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022, no law exists to prevent Arizona from reinstating a measure passed in 1864—before Arizona was even a U.S. state.
The law outlaws abortion care from the moment of conception with exceptions only in cases of a pregnant person who faces life-threatening health impacts. Such "exceptions" have been shown to threaten the health, including reproductive health and future fertility, of pregnant people in several states since Roe was overturned in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling.
Under the Arizona law, doctors who are prosecuted for providing abortion care could face fines and 2-5 years in prison.
State Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, called the ruling "unconscionable and an affront to freedom."

Nick Visser at HuffPost:
Arizona’s Supreme Court granted a request to delay enforcement of an archaic 1864 abortion ban on Monday to allow the state’s Democratic attorney general to consider taking the matter to the nation’s highest court.
Attorney General Kris Mayes had asked for a 90-day stay after the state Supreme Court revived the Civil War-era law last month, which carries 2- to 5-year prison sentences for doctors who perform the procedure, except in an instance to save a pregnant person’s life. The law was effectively moot under the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, but remained on the books. In 2022, the state’s then-attorney general, a Republican, argued that the 160-year-old law could be enforced after Roe v. Wade was overturned, and the state supreme court agreed.
The ruling shocked abortion rights advocates across the country and began a fierce legislative battle to repeal the law. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) signed a bill to do so in early May, but the repeal won’t go into effect until 90 days after the current legislative session ends. That isn’t set to happen for weeks, meaning the law may have been enforceable for a brief amount of time.
(When the repeal does take effect, the state will revert to a 2022 law that prohibits most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.)
Mayes’ effort is meant to delay that enforcement for as long as possible until Arizona lawmakers close out the current session. Alongside a separate ruling, Monday’s decision means the 1864 ban won’t be enforceable until Sept. 26 at the earliest, according to the Arizona Mirror.
Arizona Supreme Court halts enforcement of the draconian 1864 abortion ban.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is waving goodbye to a Civil War-era ban of nearly all abortions as a repeal bill reaches the desk of Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Hobbs says the repeal, scheduled for signing on Thursday, is just the beginning of a fight to protect reproductive healthcare in Arizona. But the repeal may not take effect until 90 days after the end of the legislative session, in June or July. Abortion rights advocates hope a court will step in to prevent that outcome.
The effort to repeal the ban won final legislative approval Wednesday in a 16-14 vote of the Senate, as two GOP lawmakers joined with Democrats.
The vote extended for hours as senators described their motivations in personal, emotional and even biblical terms — including graphic descriptions of abortion procedures and amplified audio recordings of a fetal heartbeat, along with warnings against the dangers of “legislating religious beliefs.”
At the same time Wednesday, supporters of a South Dakota abortion rights initiative submitted far more signatures than required to make the ballot this fall, while in Florida a ban took effect against most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant.
Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, an opponent of the near-total abortion ban, has said the earliest the dormant abortion-ban law could be enforced is June 27, though she has asked the state’s highest court to block enforcement until sometime in late July. But the anti-abortion group defending the ban, Alliance Defending Freedom, maintains county prosecutors can begin enforcing it once the Supreme Court’s decision becomes final, which hasn’t yet occurred.
The near-total ban, which predates Arizona’s statehood, permits abortions only to save the patient’s life and provides no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest. In a ruling last month, the Arizona Supreme Court suggested doctors could be prosecuted under the law first approved in 1864, which carries a sentence of two to five years in prison for anyone who assists in an abortion.
A repeal means that a 2022 statute banning the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy would become Arizona’s prevailing abortion law.
Physician Ronald Yunis, a Phoenix-based obstetrician gynecologist who also provides abortions, called the repeal a positive development for women who might otherwise leave Arizona for medical care.
“This is good for ensuring that ensuring that women won’t have to travel to other states just to get the health care they need,” Yunis said. “I was not too concerned because I have a lot of confidence in our governor and attorney general. I’m certain they will continue finding ways to protect women.”
Arizona is one of a handful of battleground states that will decide the next president. Former President Donald Trump, who has warned that the issue could lead to Republican losses, has avoided endorsing a national abortion ban but said he’s proud to have appointed the Supreme Court justices who allowed states to outlaw it.
President Joe Biden’s campaign team believes anger over the fall of Roe v. Wade gives them a political advantage in battleground states like Arizona, while the issue has divided Republican leaders.
Abortion-ban advocates in the Senate on Wednesday gallery jeered and interrupted state Republican state Sen. Shawnna Bolick as she explained her vote in favor of repeal, joining with Democrats. Bolick is married to state Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick, who voted in April to allow a 1864 law on abortion to be enforced again. He confronts a retention election in November.
The 19th century law had been blocked since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion nationwide.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, then-Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, persuaded a state judge that the 1864 ban could be enforced. Still, the law hasn’t actually been enforced while the case was making its way through the courts.
Planned Parenthood Arizona filed a motion Wednesday afternoon that asks the state Supreme Court to prevent a pause in abortion services until the Legislature’s repeal takes effect.
Advocates are collecting signatures for a ballot measure allowing abortions until a fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks, with exceptions — to save the parent’s life, or to protect her physical or mental health.
Republican lawmakers, in turn, are considering putting one or more competing abortion proposals on the November ballot.

Movie Reviews:
GenerationofSwine: Tombstone was a different beast, and that sort of overshadows this, given that one tries to be more accurate and the other goes for entertainment.
Take Wyatt Earp as a biopic and it is a superb and fair film. Compare it to Tombstone which was more of a Western and it’s lacking the flair.
However, it ends abruptly, and it is miscast. Cosner (and i am a fan) doesn’t really make a good Earp. Dennis Quaid who I am also a fan of, doesn’t make a good Doc. This was 1994, in the 80s I might have a dif...

sometimes the takes I see in the Harley Quinn tag are just beyond stupid.
but fun fact, this is a Straight moment. Cause there's actually just no universes where they read as Gay. None at all. A provable fact.
Batgirl Adventures
c'mon is it gay to be able to Play with your bestie in an implied sexual manner? totally not. Big Straight moment.
Batgirl Adventures
Love calling my straight bestie, as a straight, bay-bee. Nothing to see here, just hets being hets.
Ladies, is it gay to wax poetry about the woman you're going to / just had wild, loud sex with?
"But there is nothing to say.
Because you already know my heart.
I showed you everything--the darkest corners of myself--and you still came back.
What else is love?"
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9
"This is my favorite time. When there's absolutely no reason to get up... and I can watch the light change as it moves across your face."
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9
DC Love Is Love (2017)
Just some readable platonic heterosexuals in the 2017 Love Is Love comic. (Straight rep matters <3 and they are that. Straight.)
Dark Knights Of Steel #5 - #8
Saying you'd bury an army for her? And then kissing her chapters later? Uh, Het Behavior 🙄
Just a couple of straight besties getting *checks notes* married.
Injustice: Year Zero #8
Calling your bestie your Home, clear and obvious straight behavior.
Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #27
Calling your new bestie "Cherie" and kissing her after she cuts off a loser's hand for you <3 only readably straight behavior.
DC Comics: Bombshells #42
This? Also Straight.
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures EP 67 "Branching Out"
"Harley Quinn's Girlfriend" FRIEND
Case closed.
Just a couple of readably platonic, heterosexual besties.
Ladies, is it gay to have numerous Pride Covers for Pride Month's DC Pride comics together?
DC Pride: Connecting Covers for Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #31 and Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #13 | Artist: Claire Roe
DC Pride (2023)
Gold Foil Variant Cover | Artist: Jen Bartel
Wraparound Variant Cover | Artist: Gabriel Picolo

DC Pride 2022
Cover B; Swaby Wraparound Variant | Artist: Joshua Sway
Cover D Incentive 1:25; Foil Variant | Artist: Jen Bartel
The DC Book of Pride | Cover by Paulina Ganucheau
We're just imagining all the subtext, coding and flat out confirmations.
We're the illiterate ones ig. Clearly, that's all Straight behavior.
There's nothing in any universe they've ever appeared in that actually reads as Gay, it's all just Bruce Timm and co being horny and thinking Ladies Kissing Hot, and that's IT. all the years worth of content that's not even written by Timm, Conner or Palmiotti is IRRELEVANT!
If you consume any of their comics and read them as Gay, that's on you!
