Maybe the show was always meant as a way for Lucasfilm and Disney Plus to simply set the stage for what comes next. Had the showrunners been upfront and honest about that from the beginning, perhaps the perception of the program could have been different. It would still be annoying and some of the episodes would still be downright bad, but at least it wouldn’t be quite as confusing....

Anti-Los Angeles sentiment has been building in California for the past several years as the city has grown steadily more annoying. But few political insiders predicted that the state’s voters would go so far as to vote it off the map. Providing fuel for the recall movement, however, was a report in last Thursday’s Los Angeles Times that the city of Los Angeles, while comprising far less than half of the state’s population, currently consumes more than 80 percent of the state’s supply of botox....

In buying Fenway out from under the Sox, Steinbrenner has left his Eastern Division rivals without a stadium for the first time in their history, jeopardizing the Red Sox’ bid for the American League pennant. “It is hard to win a championship without pitching or hitting,” says David Hastings, a sports historian at the University of Minnesota. “But it is virtually impossible to win without a stadium.” Red Sox owner John Henry, who spent most of the day scrambling to find a high school sandlot where his team might play the 2004 season, held an emotional press conference in Boston to denounce the big-spending Yankee honcho....

Diabolical, however, is more than just a fun addition to the series, it really adds to the story at large. Whether it’s in seeing the abuses of Vought or Garth Ennis’s original vison brought to life, one story, “One Plus One Equals Two,” gives us insight into Homelander’s origins and just how he came to be the way he is. “One Plus One Equals Two” opens with Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito, reprising his role from the series) at a Vought launch event for their latest and greatest superhero and product of Compound V, the Homelander (a returning Antony Starr) as he is (then) known....

There’s a plague on all our houses, and since it doesn’t announce itself with lumps or spots or protest marches, it has gone unremarked in the quiet suburbs and busy cities where it has been laying waste. The number of suicides and homicides committed by teenagers, most often young men, has exploded in the last three decades, until it has become commonplace to have black-bordered photographs in yearbooks and murder suspects with acne problems....

Manchester City were forced to make changes while Chelsea, you would imagine, made the changes they wanted to. Demichelis came in for the injured Fernandinho, while Dzeko replaced the prolific Aguero. The former change, was a big question mark at the beginning of the game in terms of quality, as it isn’t his natural or shall we say his favorite position. Nastasic partnered City skipper Kompany in defence and the rest of the starting eleven was what most expected....

Smith has painted a portrait from life.

The end of the cold war did not leave the novelist bereft of conspiracies or bad guys. Smith found pervasive corruption and strong links between the mafias and the apparatchiks of the Soviet Communist Party....

Day Tripping: Maybe the dumbest investors who ever lived dived into JC Penney stock just before and during Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
