@Einahpets I used to post on comics message boards too, but the Flash fandom started getting fractured and nasty when DC spent 5 years changing their mind about who was going to be the Flash every 12 months. I finally just changed my forum passwords & didn’t write them down so I’dhave to jump through hoops to go back. I kept blogging for a while, but I’ve really pulled back from that in the last few years.

@Einahpets Used to be the Flash (comics, way before the TV show) and Babylon 5. Actually going back further I wrote fanfic for Blake’s 7.

For years I obsessively maintained a Flash fan site with character bios & appearances, starting in the pre-wiki era & keeping it going because I was doing research into the old issues. I still maintain a fan blog, but I don’t write much for it anymore.

In the past 2 weeks I have had to patch both of my bike tires and replace one of my son’s tires. (And he’s only been riding a month.) Some plant along the local bike path produces seeds with thorns that we keep running over.

I spent yesterday’s ride (after fixing both our bikes) looking at all the plants, trying to figure out which ones produced the thorns. No luck.

So I searched onlineby describing the seeds. Looks like sandburs, and the plants do look familiar.

I’ll be on the lookout.

I finished the June Rebellion chapters of #LesMiserables early afternoon on June 6, the same time that the barricade fell in the book. That was kind of weird.

Lots of commentary and philosophy on revolution & urban/civil warfare, presented as supporting for the story, but I realize now it’s the other way around.

Saga, Flash & Speed Buggy

Read some #comics today:

#Saga #52: The more innocuous the cover, the more apprehensive I am about the story. Interesting character bits, quick reversals and a nasty cliffhanger.

#TheFlash #47: Everything and the kitchen sink that’s missing from the current book, but playing out oddly disconnected.

Flash & Speed Buggy: Over the top.

@natecull I think The Last Jedi pushes back against this. Poe fits the description a lot better than Luke does, and his whole arc is learning that it’s a problem. Finn’s a counter example. And I see Luke more as someone dealing with depression and trying to push everyone away than someone who equates being a jerk with heroism. And even then part of the point is that he has to push through it.

Phone pic of a Corona around the moon, and Jupiter. Not great, but better than I expected.

I see there’s no editing capability (at least for now). I was going to add #nightsky after a line break, but it seems to be all one line. And now I want to fix the capitalization of corona. I’s not the city or the beer, it’s an optical phenomenon.
