There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Feels like this should be a bigger deal.

At a time like this, I don't think it's asking too much for Democratic leaders to be our outrage avatars and almost all of them have utterly failed at that.

If Obama did exactly what Trump is doing, McConnell would have seen it as a gift. He'd be on TV more than WINGS was in the 90s

Putting this out there:

I'm almost done with TIME TO BE HEROES, my oral history of DC's Legends of Tomorrow. It will be available only through my website beginning sometime in March. You can get it in wider release in November on B&N, Amazon, all that jazz.

Epic Fury?
They gave this “operation” (unauthorized war) the same initials as the Epstein Files? Not even a subtle distraction.

We the people still demand the full, unredacted release of the Epic Files.

  The truth is, if you go back and rewatch that two-hour pilot of Legends, I think you'll see that the seventies bar fight to “Love Will Keep Us Together” was a moment when you saw in the very first two hours, what the show would ultimately become. I think if we had a normal pause-and-reflect period between the pilot and the next episode, we would've said, “Oh, that's where the show lives! Let's tack towards that.” 
  In fact, I do remember sitting in the editing room with Greg, watching the rough cut of the two-hour pilot, and afterwards I turned to him. I was like, “We've been talking about the show all wrong. We've been talking about this show as our version of The Avengers, but the truth is it's our version of Guardians of the Galaxy.” 
  The problem is by that point, the ship had very much sailed. We were committed to a certain tone, and we were committed to a certain storyline, and we didn't have the time—or even the ability – to make a major course-correction until the end of the first season. 
  But now, because Legends, had a second life on Netflix, people came to the show without any preconceived notions. That's why they are able to just enjoy season one, purely on its own merits. I don't think it's a bad season of television. I've been involved with bad seasons of television, and I don't think it's a bad season of television by any means. 
  To me, it's just a show that didn't know what it wanted to be yet.

I love this quote from @marcguggenheim.bsky.social, explaining why there's so much more love for the first season of #LegendsOfTomorrow these days than there was during its run.

A choice of evils to be sure. But like I said, for me, the fire mismanagement was unforgivable.

That’s not the best analogy in hindsight. Bass leaving LA to burn, IMHO, was unforgivable.

Thank you, @alexsegura.com for my advance copy! I'm so excited about this. Alex told me what he has up his sleeve and this book doesn't disappoint. The "Enemy of My Enemy" is my new favorite book.
