I read this at least five times before I ever read the comics. It's an incredible and candid look behind the scenes of one of the biggest comics debacles of the 90s. If you want to REALLY see all the pressures that affect creative works, read this. You'll come away with new respect for the process

[SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT]: So you’re telling me under oath that you’ve never been to Portland, Oregon? [JACK SMITH]: Yes, that's correct. [SCHMITT]: WELL THEN *unveils poster* please explain this text from your chief of staff wishing you a safe trip to Portland! [SMITH]: That was Portland, Maine.

We may or may not be headed into a massive job crisis due to AI but please do not promote any articles on this (or any other subject!) that use McKinsey Consulting as their primary source. They make Satan’s spin doctors look like cuddly do-gooders.

Question for my friends who are more well-versed in DC comics than me: Has there ever been a story where Poison Ivy tried to kill the Joker? Not to remove him as a rival for Harley's affections necessarily, but because she believed he is a threat to Harley's well-being? -February 18, 2020

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

My thought, re: the Iowa steel mill. Iowa is a landlocked state. It's also not a state with a lot of mineral deposits. It has some carbon, granted, but all of the iron ore needed to make steel will need to be transported in over land, and the refined steel will then need to be transported out...

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
