There are 295 people signed up for public comment at the Cambridge City Council tonight, most of whom will be speaking on a policy order to delay the city's implementation of bike lanes.
First pro-bike lane delay speaker was speaker #61, who says that she is confused how people have co-opted safe streets as an issue pedestrians support, because she knows that pedestrians are "terrified" of bike lanes, and hate them. ""Let's design it correctly, let's make it work, let's keep our businesses strong, let's support the pedestrians"
(Note that we have spent literally years building to this point in the process.)
Promethium #61 it is so rare that it really has no practical uses outside the lab. There is most likely less than a kilogram of the stuff in the entire planet.
NOTE: Zatanna and Solomon Grundy both appear in Injustice: Gods Among Us as playable characters. I was playing them both tonight and would like to read about where they debuted.
Ey that’s the reason I started reading Green Arrow.
First of all, if you haven’t read the Injustice comics they are quite enjoyable. Not peak fiction, but they function as fun prequels to the games.
I personally don’t know a ton about Zatanna, but there’s a relatively recent Reddit post (proxied link) that recommends the recent Dini run and its TPBs as the best place to read. If you want the origin of the character, it seems like you’ll have to jump through some hoops. Like Moon Knight, it took forever for her to get a solo run. Unlike Moon Knight, she does not appear to have a convenient omnibus collecting all of her original appearances. If you want her first appearance, it’s Hawkman #4 (1964).
Solomon Grundy’s first appearance seems to be All-American Comics#61 (1944). He’s got a solo run by Scott Kolins from 2009. I see some mentions of Batman: Long Halloween as a good story featuring him, as well.
The survey team has preliminarily determined the likely cause of the Sol 3 ["Terra"/"Earth"] (Galactic Index: 4940392-392392-140392-292) extinction event, which we estimate occurred approximately 24000 planetary orbits ago, between our scheduled #61 and #62 surveys of the sector.
Records extracted from a storage facility deep in a natural mine strongly suggest that a global "DNS" failure triggered the planetary extinction over a period of no more than 30 revolutions of the planet.
Unfortunately, we do not yet know more specifics about "DNS", and are operating under the assumption it had some reference to nuclear or biological warfare agents.
We are continuing to analyze the retrieved data. This is a slow process however, even using the galactic central computplex, since the data is heavily biased with trillions of photo and video images of the ruling species of the planet, which called itself a "Meow".
We will keep the survey office updated of course. - Bylex-Tomol-Zolum-Blub-090-03190-S
Alabama has already tried once to execute Kenneth Smith. On the evening of Nov. 17, 2022, Smith lay on a gurney as workers tried for an hour to insert needles into the veins of his hand, arms and collarbone so they could put him to death by lethal injection. Just before midnight, the execution was called off....
No images yet, but the Mars Helicopter flight #61 is officially in the record books. The flight took place during Sol 933, and set a new altitude record of 24 meters (78.74 ft)
Though there has previously not been any canon Chalnoth ships, the design here appears to be based on the ships seen on the cover of DC Comics’ “Star Trek: The Next Generation” #61, published in 1994.
This is really fun, I don’t think TV Trek should stress about “beta canon” but in instances when it can be used it’s nice
« Close ties may exist also among thieves; it is true that such a bond acts as a force but, since it is not invincible, it does not bring good fortune. All association on the basis of common interests holds only up to a certain point. Where the community of interest ceases, the holding together ceases also, and the closest friendship often changes into hate. Only when the bond is based on… »

Kenneth Smith could be the first person executed with nitrogen gas. He spoke with NPR (www.kpbs.org)
