In 1940, Martin Nodell, like everyone else in New York City who could draw, wanted a piece of Superman. Superheroes were flooding the market, and yet they were still unable to meet demand; more and more people were drawing stranger and stranger characters and making money at it, too. Nodell was on a subway platform, watching the newly bankrupted train system lumber through the station with the help of operators holding signal lanterns. As the lights turned from red to green, he got a very good idea—a superhero who draws his powers from a magic ring and a green lantern-and somehow it has managed to stick around for nearly 90 years.

closed Tuesday.Most of all, though, I loved how deliberately the show riffed on and subverted detective story conventions, especially the plot of The Maltese Falcon (1941), one of my favorite movies, and that movie's central problem, which is that Sam Spade has to avenge his partner, a giant asshole who was murdered by a hot girl. "When a man's partner is killed he's supposed to do something about it," Spade (Humphrey Bogart) observes in that film right before he turns Brigid (Mary Astor) over to the cops. "It doesn't make any difference what you thought of
him." Making the Bogart character a Black man changes the story in fascinating ways.

This will be the second budget so YEAR 2 and I don't want to hear from anyone that we have to "understand the constraints of budgeting etc..." Who are you talking to? The money is there for bullshit. Spend it on public goods that BENEFIT all of our communities. Full stop.

it was the first time i really got into trying to read spoilers online and there were two competing stories out there, one the actual ending which a lot of people rejected as sad or bad or whatever, and one where something something neo ended up in the matrix maybe??? and the kid rebuilt zion??
