I'd rather actually fix things than have schadenfreude... but since we ain't fixed things yet the schadenfreude is nice!

(Art sampled from "Absolute Power" Vol. 1 #1 by Mark Waid, Dan Mora, Alejandro Sánchez, Ariana Maher, Matthew Levine, and Paul Kaminski. Edits: Second Panel Dialogue.)
Two comic book panels. The first shows Mr. Terrific angrily shouting into a phone, "Oh, I'll respond all right! That Philly footage is fake as hell! I was with the Captain at the time! We were fighting Giganta!" The next panel shows Nightwing. He says, "Aren't you a capitalist with a huge tech company? Didn't you help develop imitation-bot tech? The same tech now being used to impersonate us?" Mr. Terrific shouts, "The leopards weren't supposed to eat my face!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit"

Who is Microwave Man?

The first super-powered villain of Earth-One has returned after a long absence to confront Superman.

Let's take a look at newsreels from forty years back (the year 1938, not 1986) to see the criminal Microwave Man in action!!

- Action Comics #488, Oct 1978
Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen, Lana Lang, Perry White and Morgan Edge sit in the WGBS office theater to watch old black and white newsreels of Microwave Man. "I dig watching old newsreels" exclaims Jimmy with glee. Morgan Edge reminds everyone that the footage is forty years old. The newsreel starts and showed Microwave Man melting the bricks on the back of a bank to gain entrance. After he robs the bank of $5000, he flies away and uses his microwave powers to heat up a pursuing police squad car, making it unbearably hot for the policemen to drive it. - Action Comics #488, Oct 1978 by Cary Bates, Curt Swan & Frank Chiaramonte

Painting of a woman dressed in a filmy black robe reclining on a woven rug under a tent the road covers her face but is a very translucent Veil her arms and one foot come out from under the veil and that and also a bit of her cleavage showing pale white skin on her chest exposed I was looking at an interesting article on this painter and the genre of orientalism is there a co-bombment was one of the few possibly the only European painter to actually do paintings of harems from firsthand of Harem scenes I was looking at a article on looking at this painter from a queer Theory angle and the sapit Gaze of this particular orientalist painter the different take on the Exotic sizing and eroticizing view of 19th century European painters

This is a watercolour painting of a European Jay. I’m lucky enough to have photographed these from my local nature reserve, they really are beautiful birds.

La Morphinomane — Vittorio Matteo Corcos, ca. 1900
Painting of a red-headed woman and a black dress something yellow chair and a dark room there appears to be a polar bear rug then let her feet she's giving us a surly and decadent look . To me she looks vest like a junkie than a generic decadent like the painter is trying to show us an image of fashionable depravity but without having spent much time with such unfortunate people
