I can’t believe I never noticed that Romulan Warbirds (D’deridex-class) have “eyes.”

Minions.
A picture of Young Washington next to a picture of a Minion with an old-timey film camera for Minions & Monsters — at least, I think it’s a film camera…next to the headline:

“America has two options at the box office this Fourth of July weekend. The Choice is clear.”

[Lantern’s note: Minions]

More headline:

“Two new movies promise to tell a tale that f the history of the United States. Only one truly captures it.”

Minions.

Resistance has many forms. Sometimes it’s a series of social media posts exposing corruption and oppression. Sometimes it’s protests. And sometimes it’s a comic book panel, a panel that gives those whose hope is wavering some much needed reassurance. Bravo, @gailsimone.bsky.social🤘
Close up of Jubilee from Uncanny X-Men (2024) #19: with three panels saying:

“There’s a lot of hate in the world.”

“Whatever you are. Whenever you can.”

“You can fight back.”

Whelp, once again Israel screws everyone over.
Text: Iranian official says will ‘punish’ Israel for ‘crime’ in Lebanon
A senior official in Iran has told Al Jazeera that the country will “punish Israel in response to the crime it committed in Lebanon and the violation of the ceasefire terms”.

“The ceasefire includes the region, and Israel is known for breaking promises and will only be deterred by bullets”, the official said.

Iran’s Fars news agency, quoting an unnamed military source, says Iran is preparing a response to Israel’s violation of the ceasefire.

We’ll bring you more on this as details come in.

Even Tolkien understood gender is fluid.
“But when they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as of female; for that difference of temper they had even from their beginning, and it is but bodied forth in the choice of each, not made by the choice, even as with us male and female may be shown by raiment but is not made thereby.”

From “The Ainulindalë,” The Silmarillion

This is one of the greatest comic book panels of all time, and right up @gailsimone.bsky.social’s alley. (from “What If…Galactus Transformed Rogue?”) #XSpoilers
Glorious fire-filled panel of giant space dragons attacking Galactus in space, one carrying a Power Cosmic-imbued Rogue.

My friends, I finally have it: a true story worthy of the confines of BlueSky. I give you, ‘The Undulations of Mister Plant.’
A long vertical picture of blurry foliage, in which darker spots appear in the shape of very snooty eyes and an even snootier mouth. The head of this arrogant hedge appears triangular, and far too large for its tiny rod-like body. What appears to be an appendage is sticking out diagonally as though grasping a wealthy douchebag’s fancy cane.
