CRANKY OLD FART’S BROWSER HISTORY #404  [archive] FEB. 11, 2024

That time Mojo Nixon and Don Henley sang “Don Henley Must Die” together
    Excerpt: “There I was, the king of bullshit, completely flabbergasted,” remembers Nixon. “I took my guitar off, put it back on, did that like three times, then got on the mic and said, ‘Don, do you want to debate? Do you want to fist fight?’ He was shit-faced and he goes, ‘I want to sing that song, especially the part about not getting together with Glenn Frey!’” Climate scientist Michael Mann wins defamation case against conservative writers 

IWW organizes San Francisco’s City Lights Kris Kristofferson: Rock star of country music 

Wine and wine experts bore me, and advertising is an abomination against the mind, and yet…
Republicans in Florida go to court to stop children from having health care 

Missouri rejects rape exceptions, Republican senator says forced birth can be “the greatest healing agent” Three months later, Idaho cops confirm killing blind woman during call for assistance 

Calls for “better training” after black man having epileptic seizure is tasered and charged with three counts of assault Cop dies of natural causes shortly after assaulting teenager, so teen is charged with cop’s murder 

What is this horseshit?
    Excerpt: Superboy (also known as Kon-El or Conner Kent) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics… and was created by writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett.
    Me again: Jeez, I get weary of corporate America. I don’t read comics any more, but I grew up reading DC, and everyone knows that Superboy is the kid version of Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Whatever shenanigans DC has pulled — probably to avoid paying Siegel and Shuster’s heirs — Superboy will always be the kid version of Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
