They're finally adapting the X-Men arc where Charles Xavier's neighbors put the really bright floodlights on their deck.
I thought this was a delight and don’t know anyone other than myself and my significant other who has seen it.
I reacted to the title of this song the way I would finding a dead animal.
The Mitch McConnell Mysteries (ABC, 2006-2007) was kind of a weird experiment but worth checking out for the various “before they were famous” guest appearances (Jon Hamm, Sterling K. Brown, a young Margaret Qualley)

Twenty-seven years of me listening to this song by The Clash and it only just occurred to me that these lyrics could be read two ways.
If there’s still a country in 100 years and that country is still holding elections, this generation’s children’s children’s children will have to hear about George McGovern and the dangers of being too far to the left. He’s like the Headless Horseman.
My hometown's little landmark, the Mother's Memorial statue as it exists now, and the supremely creepy photo of its installation in the 1930s.

Cheers to the new Supergirl movie for subjecting the world at large to one of the most irritating things from 1990s comics.
Same answer as before: John Bellairs. Although it's probably a a better recommendation for parents with kids who are interested in horror but too young for adult-oriented novels. If you can find one of his books with an Edward Gorey cover/illustrations, all the better. #HorrorWritersChat
