Just a couple years ago, when Glenn Youngkin was governor of Virginia, he spent his time imposing a reactive agenda on education, restricting abortion access, fighting sensible regulations on business, veto an increase in the minimum wage and criticizing the Virginia Clean Air Act.
But yes, please tell me again how both parties are the same.
Seriously, this 100 day plan is EXACTLY what Democrats should be running on this year and whoever the Dems nominate in 2028 (assuming we have a Presidential election then, I'm still not convinced we will) needs to hammer these home as well. Over and over and over.

SO...
I posted last August about all the people I personally knew who had died since May of last year (when I posted about a bunch of people I personally knew who had died in the year previous). And that number came up to ten.
Well, since August, more people I personally knew died.
- One of mom's cousins. When I was a kid, we hang out with them, either at our place or at their place in Greencastle, at least once, usually two weekends a month.
- Phoenix's grandmother
- Johnnie's grandmother
- My uncle's second wife's father
- A former coworker who had had repeated bouts of cancer after he retired
- A new coworker's father
- The second in command at my job when I started there 30 years ago.
So that's put us up to 17 people. All in roughly 2 years!
I know as you get older, you know more people who die. And all of the people I just listed were older than me. And death is not such a surprise for people over 70 or so years each. But still, to have so many people dropped so close together...
It's disturbing. And unsettling. And it's not likely to stop as I age.

Night arrives with her purple Legion (Part 7)....
Legion Lore
Colossal Boy
Today we have the Seventh member to join and the first to be native to Earth! It's Gim Allon aka Colossal Boy. A strange radioactive meteor crashed very near him and he inhaled the vapors coming off of it and wash bathed in that radiation. Afterwards, he found out he could increase his size.
One thousand years in the future, Earth's president is selected via lottery and election. A powerful computer selects the three most qualified candidates and then the citizens vote on them. For a time, Colossal Boy's mother, Marte Allon was president of Earth.
Colossal Boy had a long unrequited crush on fellow teammate Shrinking Violet, After a time, she started suddenly returning his feelings. It was only later discovered she had been impersonated by Durlan (see Chameleon Boy from last entry) actress Yera, and it was Yera who fell in love with him. Even after discovering the deception, Colossal Boy still loved her and didn't reject her, and they were married. At this point in the Legion's history, married Legionnaires allowed. And after a time, Yera was allowed to join the team as Chameleon Girl.
He was the longest continuous serving member of the Legion from it's founding until it's disbandment after the Magic Wars/Five Year Later. He never left the team over that entire period.
This is drawn by Legion artist Dave Cockrum.

I don't know if this is Kevin Maguire's work, it does look a lil bit like his art, but the layout is definitely of that iconic Maguire group pose! And it shows a bunch of West Coast Avengers!
This was about the time when the West Coast Avengers was a better book than the original team's comic book. And it's a pretty damn good lineup too!
"White" Vision, Iron Man
Scarlet Witch, Wasp, USAgent
Tigra, Dr. Pyn
Wonder Man, Hawkeye, Mockingbird

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 267)....
Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1908 in Czechia, Oskar Schindler was born.
Schindler was a German industrialist and member of the Nazi Party. He employed over 1200 Jews in his munitions factories in Poland, Bohemia and Monrovia during the war. In doing so, he kept those Jews from going to the extermination camps and the gas chambers therein. He continued to do so until the end of World War II and ended up spending most of this fortune on bribes to government officials and supplies for the workers.
He passed away in 1974.
Protecting over a thousand Jews from the Nazi while being a member of the Nazi party, risking not only his fortune, but his freedom and his life? Total and complete fucking badass.
You wanna SEE how badass he was. Watch Schindler's List.

Night arrives with her purple legion (Part 6)....
Legion Lore
Chameleon Boy
Reep Daggle is from Durla, the planet who millennia ago had the "Six Minute War" with unleashed atomic weapons all over the globe. The few survivors were mutated into creatures who were able to change their shape into nearly anything. And they passed that ability down through the generations.
Durlans aren't really trusted in the galaxy so they keep pretty much to their planet not going off world. Reep said screw that! he left Durla and came to Earth with the express wish to join the Legion and show everything Durlas could in fact be trusted. And he did. And he has. He was the full time leader of the Legion Espionage Squad.
This entry is drawn by long time Legion artist Keith Giffen

Just saw online that Gerry Conway has died.
He was a comic book writer, and influential one. He created Firestorm, The Punisher, the Man-Bat. He wrote the story where Gwen Stacy died. He co-created Power Girl, Jason Todd (the second Robin) and Killer Croc. He wrote the Justice League of America for 8 years, from 1978 to 1986, and while I don't like the Detroit League era that he wrote, at least his stories were readable and entertaining. He wrote the cross company teamup between Superman and Spider-Man in the late 70s. He wrote a lot of Spider-Man issues and Batman issues. And these are only his comic book works, he wrote things outside of comics as well.
I can't say that he was one of my favorite writers, but he was a constant presence in the comic books of my youth and was generally entertaining.
He was 73. R.I.P.
