Sporadic Ramblings and Nerdery

Seems likely. I think Q is a bit of a bully who prefers to punch down, and the Prophets are close enough to him in power that he didn't enjoy being around them or their Emissary.

SF Debris's glaze of Sisko is wonderful to hear.

This has opened a path to be voted on within the senate in the future

This is different from the KOSA bill that was part of the KIDS act that passed the house in June

“While pushing KOSA through committee opens up the possibility for a vote, the version of the bill the House passed features some key distinctions from the Senate's take.

Disagreements in both houses over the finer details of the bill have led to it being abandoned in previous years, including in 2024, the last time the Senate passed KOSA.”

differences

“Across its drafts, the proposed law has generally sought to require social media companies and other online platforms to build in stronger protections for children.

The Senate's current version requires social media apps to provide ways for children and teens to opt out of addictive features like algorithmic recommendations.

It also includes language that says online platforms have a "duty of care" to mitigate harm from content that promotes things like sexual exploitation and eating disorders.

The House version of the bill notably doesn't include the same provision.”

<3 I love Miracle Molly so much <3

My second favorite Tynion creation at DC, after The Gardener <3

Batman: Doesn't it make you feel bad that you could be stealing from your own parents?

Miracle Molly: PFFFTTTTT

NO

...

And I love it! Maggie is a GREAT mutant! She's got a great mix of Horrifying and Adorable. You can see people being scared of her, but you want to see good things happen to her.

you'd get a weregoo, though that might be more down to different monsters having kids together, rather than the biting transmission approach.

Dick - To learn to do it over-dramatically?

Bruce - NO!

Dick - To learn how to do it whilst aesthetically tied up?

Bruce - NO! (But we'll talk about that one later)

Dick - Sigh... "So we can learn to pick ourselves up"

Batman #12 - Some Killers Come to Town...

Due to Bruce getting in the way of a corporate takeover of Wayne Enterprises by some malevolent financebros who won't take no for an answer (can't think what might have inspired this plotline), they decide to call in some assassins to get him our of the way when their prior ninja-based plan failed.

I'm curious if Spyder Black is related to the character I, Spyder (Thomas Ludlow Dalt) from Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers, who is himself part of the extensive Ludlow crime family who notably have a centuries long feud with the Shade.

Vector just straight up getting introduced murdering a pretty explicit expy for Harvey Weinstein (former owner of Miramax, a corporate now owned by Paramount) was fun.

Being an assassin with a luchador theme seems... an inefficient pick for someone trying to kill a billionaire like Bruce Wayne? Love the idea of a lucha libre superhero though, fit with the lore surrounding IRL characters like El Santo.

FX Productions and Legendary Television are behind A Really Bad Person. The show’s logline describes it as “a drama about a very relatable American girl who does the most unrelatable thing while visiting London — she pretends to be the missing daughter of a British family. It’s a last-ditch effort to gain citizenship, a fresh start, and escape her complicated past.”

Ooh, so it's like that 23 year old Frenchman who pretended to be a lost American teenager so he could visit the US, only for him to discover that the reason why the kid was missing in the first place is that it was likely his older brother murdered him with their mum then deciding to say her missing son "ran away" to avoid losing both children by giving the surviving son to the cops.

No, this was something that happened.

"Mother it is I, your lost son, come home at last!"

The mother, who buried that fucker in the woods: oh....
