Just signed up. I should have started giving PBS money years ago. Like many people, I owe some of the best parts of who I am to Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood (Pittsburgh represent!)

@matthewamuso.bsky.social takes us back to 1999 when Marvel's First Family teamed up with DC's Man of Steel in a neat but otherwise forgettable crossover doomrocket.substack.com/p/that-time-...
That time the Fantastic Four teamed up with Superman
As the heroes vie for box office supremacy, we remember a noteworthy DC/Marvel crossover.

This country has famously never had an official language, because it is a land in which many languages are spoken. Pasé muchos años de mi juventud dedicada al estudio de otros idiomas, una forma de acercarme al mundo entero y lo cual me cambió la vida.

Over the past week, several recent ex-State Dept officials reached out to me with a major concern. DOGE could soon access a huge defense-export database that represents a massive, if not transformational corruption opportunity for Musk & allies. Meet USXports:
