I cannot believe I'm only seeing this for the first time now. 1) It's an utter delight 2) It was a clear influence on Michael Jackson (he named it as such but... wow)

Trump PERSONALLY doesn't belong there. This is not like trying to exclude Mamdani because he's a Muslim, Trump's own behavior over 9/11 AT THE TIME by all rights should disqualify him.

There's been a lot of fantastic posts about characters who deserved better. What creator / artist deserved better? I nominate Bill Finger, the guy that actually created 90% of the character of Batman, but, as Bob Kane's 'employee', got cut out of both the financial recompense and the credit.

Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer again?
Derek
What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.
