To celebrate new Jean Grey casting, let's relive her finest hour, ie nearly falling into a hole. (same era of Marvel in which the Avengers heavily implied the Wasp was just some sort of mascot)

Three panel X-Men comic in which Jean Grey nearly walks into an obvious hole in front of her, has to be warned by Cyclops and telekinetically saves herself with a log

Aw, thanks for resharing that. I bought this really excellent newish graphic novel biography of Welles the other week, really recommend it.

Thanks for this, my six-year-old had a great time and some great advice! Followed along a bit, also did his own thing.

I had to read this a few times to check I really understood it, but if this is genuinely a Labour councillor saying they and their circle are hoping for a Reform win, they should be identified and removed. It's not a game!

Labour are particularly concerned about the implications any Green win could have for the May elections. One Labour Greater Manchester councillor said that activists were genuinely “frightened” that the Green candidate Hannah Spencer, a plumber, could win.

The Greens expect to put 2,000 campaign workers on the ground on Thursday to try to bring out the party’s vote.

“Everybody I know is hoping Reform win and we come second,” said the councillor.

My dad was involved in this very similar project in 1983 at a different company, and he loved HaCF - not accurate in many ways but evocative of the truth in a way that worked for him. He was the marketing director, though, so more the Lee Pace character (he wishes).

Do these "experts" have a view on where this larger group of "skilled operators" will emerge from in this diamond formation?

It’s partly why the classic corporate pyramid structure in the workplace is at risk of shifting into a diamond, workplace experts say, with fewer juniors at the base, a swollen middle of skilled operators and middle managers, and a smaller cohort of leaders at the top.

Didn't expect there to be an episode in which Agent 47 shows up to eliminate the Chipmunks before they can sing again, but here we are.

Still of cartoon in which a bald man in a suit who resembles Agent 47 from Hitman is aggressively gesturing at a worried-looking cartoon chipmunk in a red cap

I've been reading some early Blade comics from the 70s and there are some aspects of the character that have fallen a bit by the wayside, for example his profession as a jazz trumpeter
