One of the problems with a "Gentleman's agreement" is both sides have to actually act like gentlemen

I am relieved that it looks like we're finally getting aid to Ukraine again. I'm also annoyed that most Tennessee Congressmen seem to be on the Pro - Putin bandwagon. I called mine's office weeks ago, and clearly it did no good.

THank you all. A quick update, while there is a concussion, that appears to be the worst that has happened after they did the Catscan and X-rays.

Prayers, good vibes, well wishes requested for my House mate's daughter. She has a head injury. Her mother is with her at the ER as I type this

NICE move by V.

Beacon! Dustin Deeds has been a part of the outrage factory that is the worst of modern TV/Internet news for over three years. He thrives on creating crisis where there is none, peddling misinformation to villify innocents as far as the law will allow, and paints himself as the victim whenever called on his BS. And He has absolutely no shame in doing so! That was at least until the Eclipse. After that, his life was no longer his own. He began to transform into the light projector 'Beacon', a humble hero in gold and blue who fights crime, but worse, has exposed the lies of his news station by presenting evidence. Dustin is in danger of getting fired because HIS password was clearly used. Meanwhile, Beacon saves lives, supports the down trodden, and visits kids in hospitals. Dustin has bigger problems than he knows. His personal assistant, a woman who really needs her job so she puts up with his sexual harassment and ill treatment, has actually gotten a crush on his 'do gooder alter ego' so his orders to her in trying to stop Beacon are really going nowhere!

Carebear Huey McGreggor is a big lovable man, the sort of guy you wish nothing but the best for. Sadly, Huey is jinxed. He doesn't drive or he'll hit every red light there is. He is careful about dating, because he invariably ends up attracting the wrong sort of attention. He's been struck by lightning on a cloudless day. He's pretty durable , it as if something out there wants him to live through things so he can suffer some more. The worst part of his curse was that when it seemed his personal luck was better, the luck of those near him that he was invested in emotionally went down hill instead. He consulted a few mystics and gurus and the like, and they all came to the same conclusion, "you share your jinx with those you care about" This threw Huey into deep depression, until he encountered a supervillain who took the building he was in, and its people hostage. Suddenly, Huey was really focused on that villain, as in he was deeply emotionally invested here! And things went wrong for the villain completely, so very wrong. Devices stopped working for the crook, the villain found out he had an allergy which nearly incapacitated him, and a giant superhero come to the rescue stepped on him. Realizing that 'care' can mean a lot of things, and magic isn't exactly smart, Huey put on a costume with a bear theme, dubbed himself "Carebear" because it would scare fewer innocents than 'doomed jinx walking' and joined the Curse Breakers, the only team that would take him at the time. His favorite tactic is to find out who put a curse on an innocent then 'care' really hard about that curse bringer. He's also enjoying foiling more typical villains. More than one supervillain has been defeated because a man with a bright bear costume appeared and declared "Hey, Scumball, I CARE about you and what you're doing!" -------- New Team: The Undershadowed You don't have to be superpowered, or even a criminal, to be a complete jerk. In 2024's Solar Eclipse, Five ordinary self serving advantage taking people found themselves under the shadow of the Eclipse thinking nothing of it. But later they came to realized they had developed super powered alter egos who were civic minded, kind, and good hearted! They can't control the change. One minute each one is 'a winner' (By cynical standards), then the next they're some goody goody in tights who fight crime, build homes for the homeless, or otherwise help their fellow man! Worse, their alter egos have begun talking to them through mirrors, delivering lectures about how they should be ashamed. Team Number 5!

SO... they lowered the bond and gave ten more days to make payments for Trump. If Lady Justice is blind, she's clearly smelling money and golf club membership cards

Sorry, forgot to give my title (I fell behind) how about Title: Better Heroes Brought to you By Blue Sun!

I'm done then, and thanks!

I was a fan of the show myself. Played in America on Nickelodeon back in the day

The blonde girl screamed, and vanished again, finding herself never going far. And not always where she knew where she was going. She didn't like doing it. Sometimes it felt like she might get stuck... stuck where, she didn't know, was it possible to get stuck nowhere? And the thoughts, always the thoughts! She couldn't shut them out! And she knew the others were waiting too, trapped where she wasn't. She needed help. THEY needed help.
