Old art: supervillain histrionics
(Marvel, please bring this book back into print. I *personally* could sell 20 percent of the numbers you'd need to break even.)
3 connected vignette panels of Speed Demon from Superior Foes of Spider-man, emoting, yelling at a seated Boomerang, who is drinking a beer and not listening, and repeatedly poking Overdrive in the chest. OD is trying to back away.

A selection of Ursula’s VERY SASSY responses to Rona Jaffe’s PERFECTLY REASONABLE questions about her life from a Radcliffe alumna questionnaire ca. 1980 (never submitted, sadly). Thanks to Julie Phillips for this gem.
A typewritten letter reads: Dear fellow alumna, Because of my recent book, Class Reunion, and because I am interested in women's progress in the past years, the Ladies' Home Journal has asked me to write an article about what our generation at Radcliffe is thinking today. This brief questionnaire will give me a profile of what has happened to many of us. Would you please take the time to fill it out? I know the results will be helpful not only to all of us but to women all over the country. Thank you. Sincerely, Rona Jaffe ’51 Question: What were your hopes, dreams and expectations when you graduated from college; in terms of work, love and family life? Answer: I intended to work my way around the world selling subscriptions to Business Week on tramp steamers, ending up in Manila where I would marry a Turkish archaeologist and have four children, until the success of my first opera would bring me to the attention of the Department of Philosophy at Harvard, which hired me as a cover for my still classified work for the C.I.A. in Uzebekistan, after which I would divorce my first husband and marry some corporate executives and have some more children and then fulfil my real ambition which is to make jewel-like jars of quince jelly gleaming on the cellar shelves just like Joan Didion, while writing a lot of best-sellers and the definitive study of the works of Ssu-ma Ch'ien. Question: Was there a point in your life where your values, dreams and/or expectations changed? Please explain. Answer: all of a sudden when I was 44 I wanted to smash all the jars of quince jelly and go weave sweat pants of natural fibers on a mountainside in Idaho. I cannot explain this.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

NO PUMPKIN, but plenty of SPICE.

Heat up your holidays with a generous dash of seasonal Spice. Mercy forges an uneasy alliance with the volatile, alluring "Spice'. Sparks and bullets fly.

10 years ago I could search for and find mention of The August Man by Jess Walters, a book published in 1974 in Canada and written in English. It was then made into a CBC mini-series in 1980. It’s been erased from the internet and that seems so strange. eBay even used to list the book and the VHS.

So basically Spotify has decided to stop paying royalties to any musicians who can’t afford to sue them.
markpopham.bsky.social good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · Nov 15
I'm sorry isn't this.... theft???
Spotify's decision to stop paying royalties on less popular tracks is "discriminatory and exploitative", says competition law expert By Matt Mullen Others have suggested that the move indicates Spotify may eventually begin charging artists to host their music on the platform Last week, Music Business Worldwide reported that Spotify is planning to make some drastic changes to its royalty model in 2024. The most controversial of these is the decision to stop paying royalties to the artists and rightsholders behind tracks that are streamed less than 1000 times annually, a move that will effectively demonetize more than two-thirds of its entire catalogue.
