There’s wrong and then there’s wrong.

I assume they'll be part of the Academy show.

That's just DS9, ask O'Brien.

Is this that feminist riddle again?

For me it’s usually a matter of overestimating how many chances I’ll have to read while I’m out. Or how tired I’ll be when I finally do get a moment of down time. Hard to read through closed eyes.

Just finished watching Murderbot, and it definitely speaks to how well this could work. Star Trek would also just suit Apple’s brand very well, as a sleek forward looking tech company. Heck, one of the more enduring gags about the Abrams films, after the lens flares, was the Apple Store bridge.

While I think this poster was being unnecessarily aggressive and aggrieved about it, I kind of do feel like singling out mothers when celebrating child rearing is actually reinforcing patriarchal norms.

We all know women still do the majority of the job, but that’s something we should be working to change by normalizing dads having a stronger role in their own home, right? There really is no need to be gender specific in celebrating parents who take an active role in their kid’s development.

It sounds like you’re thinking of Tom Welling of Smallville. This is the Superman from Lois and Clark in the ‘90s. Costumed in episode one.

Edit: clearly doesn’t mean he’s not a loser, though. But I enjoyed the show.

You may want to check out Kurt Busiek's Astro City sometime. It’s Superman analogue deals with this anxiety directly. I’m not aware of anything quite comparable in the mainline Superman comics.

No way. Most Disney characters are horny as hell.

But if we don’t let twitter users whinge about obviously exaggerated and satirical drawings, how will they feel superior to everyone else??

I’ve never been declined a warranty reimbursement for lack of original packaging. That would be crazy to me.
