i love when i take him on an extra-long walk and we come back and he's totally exhausted. its like he's saying, "MY BODY IS EXHAUST, I MUST CURL UP INTO A TINY BALL AND REPLENISH THEEE ENERGY, WHY YOU DO DIS?"
its not your imagination, i take *a lot* of pictures of kal-el
but when you see this mug just casually lying about the house... how could you not?
this was us on his first day home. its been ridiculous.
kal at 8 weeks old vs kal at 1 year, 8 months (today)
people now: aw he's so tiny
me: he's *ginormous now*
(he's still pretty tiny)
some of his "baby pics"
me, now: i dont know why he lies across my chest when i watch tv
*looks at pics from literally his second day at home*
oh. right.

has the ny times *ever* reviewed or written about a superhero graphic novel/trade? considering theyre like 90% of the market vs the indie/nonsuperhero stuff the times always covers, its kinda funny.
youll see like batman and avengers topping the sales chart and the times would have you think the hottest thing in comics is the latest thing in the maus tradition. wonder if theyll ignore dc's new ya graphic novels, which i think will be huge?
i dont have anything against non-superhero comics. i like some of them. its just very snobby imo the way they still try to ghetto-ize superheroes, which have become our dominant art theme in the last 15 yrs.
slowly making my way through "team of rivals" and its funny to hear about the gop primary for 1860 where seward thought he had it all wrapped up and lincoln came in as a dark horse with his supporters offering up (basically) bribes for support.
nothing has changed!
you even have people with moderate, liberal conservative positions on slavery, which is gross but it shows *nothing has changed*
"im against slavery but not for full citizenship for blacks" was some triangulation ancestry
its just funny to read this stuff w a 2020 lens and get to roll my eyes at the people who insist there was some long ago moment when american politics was pure.
If Dems operated like Republicans, every Dem would have been hollering right now about how Mitch stole your $2000. But the Dems don’t operate like that. For some reason.
I keep trying to ignore this deficiency because I know they’ll never address it, but I can’t keep my mouth shut when I see such an easily remedied major error that hurts so many people
The media and the Republicans are a real issue, but if democrats never speak up on these things it’s hard to say the fault lies elsewhere
We’re gonna get four years minimum of Republicans pretending to be small govt libertarians and the mainstream press is gonna eat it up like pigs at the trough.
Meanwhile the Dems will waste too much time and effort trying to work with them and Lucy just keeps pulling that football away.
i dont know if i can take four years of liberals gaming out hawley's master plan for the presidency. just let shit happen and react to shit thats happening instead of everyone acting like theyre the grandmaster strategist.
part of why we got here is grand master strategizing about how trump was the most beatable republican.
we love to act like everything is some deep plot out of game of thrones and house of cards but we're really in a dumb sitcom where people die.
of course ill watch it and give it a shot. but the problem w superman is always that he should be doing extremely spectacular things and generally speaking TV rarely has the budget or scope for that unless its animated.
its like "change the course of mighty rivers" vs "punching some guys in an alley"
