Wow!!!
Bruh... McFarlane Toys finally did it.
They've made a @denyscowan.bsky.social version of Static that looks like the OG character and not his New 52 take. Malcolm X hat and all.
What a neat bookend to a year that also had an Icon figure based on his modern incarnation at the beginning of the year.

Can Mr. Beast be next?
to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

Florida keeping a rottweiler hold on the title of Worst State In The Shittiest Country On Earth.
Just in: Florida's supreme court today has UPHELD a recent state law that enables juries to sentence someone to death nonunanimously.
Bolts reported on FL's law a few years ago, amid huge concern that nonunanimous convictions have a high error rate, & are likelier to sideline Black jurors.

@whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov are basic bigots and should know zero peace.
Don't let them step foot in public without fear of shame.
Don't let them step foot in public without fear of shame.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Fallon is the ultimate middle of the road, base level "talent" who through privilege, luck and sheer spineless asskissery has a career. Obviously he will continue to feed the beast that birthed him.

Immigrants were questioned about their country of origin and turned away while waiting in line for their citizenship ceremonies.
It sounds like a work of dystopian fiction. But it's not. This is exactly what happened at Faneuil Hall last week.
Unacceptable. Naturalize them now.
