I like Huffman's style. Somebody give him a microphone and 2 turntables.

That comic (just going by the photo) is probably worth $600,000.

That said, if you're going to swear on a role model, Superman is better than what many of the others choose.

I'm not familiar with that show, though it's pretty clear in context. Can somebody mansplain it for me.

Forever Ensign Harry Kim.
Played by Garrett Wang, Kim was one of the main Voyager bridge crew, and saved the ship from countless close shaves. Alas, he was never promoted beyond the rank of a humble ensign. Harry Kim's inability to ascend the ranks became somewhat of a running joke both within Star Trek: Voyager, and among the show's audience.

He’s just confirming that his people have space lasers.

In other news, if you come for Pete, you’d better bring your A game. The floors of Fox News are littered with the bodies of newscasters who have dared tangle with him.

I like Pete, but he effed up on doing nothing to stop airline cancellations and skulduggery. Bernie even warned him.

I've never understood this increasingly common criticism. What power does he have and did not use to step into their day-to-day operations?

It sounds like he's using the threat of that to get Southwest to reimburse travellers for their food and lodging expenses.
Southwest Airlines could be slapped with major penalties for ruining Christmas for thousands of travelers by canceling flights during the holiday weekend, federal officials warned Wednesday.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and congressional leaders have called on the budget airline to issue refunds and pay for expenses after the Dallas-based company grounded more than 14,500 flights since Friday — including more than 2,500 on Wednesday.

“They need to make sure that these stranded passengers get to where they need to go and that they are provided adequate compensation — not just for the flight itself,” Buttigieg said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.

Right - I took it too literally perhaps. I consulted for one of them so when you say 'stop cancellations" I took it as get into their day-to-day operations which is definitely not a power he has and absolutely shouldn't have. In any case, cancellations are going to happen and FWIW fining them for it isn't a solution (on their own).

On this, I think he has been taking a lot of flak that's completely undeserved. He has no magic wand to fix the airlines. His tools are fines and the rule making process which is too slow to address these problems. We need Passenger Bill of Rights type legislation which is probably not going to happen with arsonists running the House.

George Santos is OK with McCarthy as House Leader.

In other news, today I learned that someone is using a Wonder Woman comic when they take the oath.
The Library always stands ready to assist when a new Congress convenes. This week we pulled materials from our collections for Congress members to be sworn in with. Here's a behind-the-scenes look from our comic book vault.

Honestly, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to believe what Harry and Megan are telling everyone. They’ve gone full Kardashian and are planning to live on sensationalism, it seems.

They already have psychologists. They specialize in manipulating the population into believing the official story, backed by teams who ensure that any alternate stories never get heard.

When you hear people praise the status quo like that, they are either the result of state manipulation, or they have learned that people who know the truth but don't pretend to believe end up falling out of windows.

I can see the going down angle, but most are saying it looks like the hands are holding a penis. A big, bronze $10,000,000 penis.

I don't see the penis. From a pretty varied angle, I can easily see a head (or implied head) buried between thighs with arms holding them up.
