View All posts by Eileen Gonzalez It’s time once again to review the most important comics-related headlines from the past few weeks (or at least, the headlines that happened to cross my radar). News About DC and Marvel So how are we feeling about the trailer for that incredibly retro The Fantastic Four: First Steps, huh? Think we’ll finally get a good FF movie? At least they weren’t too embarrassed to say the name of the group this time. Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Anthony Mackie in the title role, is opening in theaters this Friday. It’s shaping up to be a big one, despite some incredibly weak attempts to generate controversy. This year’s Golden Raspberry Award nominees include quite a few superhero …

Sophie’s Brave New World | Sam Huber

Late one evening when I was twenty, a boy I liked shared a theory: queer people who come out in adulthood go through a second adolescence. Freed from the terrors and inhibitions of the closet, these late bloomers have to relearn how to navigate the big feelings that come with living in a body, hopelessly bound to other bodies by sex and gender. This made me furious; I was, of course, the case in point. (He can’t have come out more than three or four years before me, which made the idea seem particularly condescending.) It didn’t occur to me that starting from scratch might be a gift—something to revel in rather than suffer through. I’m able to think of that boy and his theory more generously now, as I remember what it felt like to hear the English producer and DJ Sophie for the first time. Her earliest singles appeared in 2013, when I was twenty-two. Their simple hooks, pitch-shifted vocals, and minimal, metallic arrangements offered not a return to adolescence but an alien …

Brave girl, 5, walked to school in princess dress and told teacher ‘mummy can’t wake up’

Published by Sam

A brave five-year-old girl stayed with her unconscious mum all night then walked to school in a princess dress, a crown and wellie boots and told her teacher ‘mummy can’t wake up’. Poppy Davies was prancing around in her princess dress at her home in Pontllanfraith, near Blackwood in Wales, when her mum Leisha collapsed and lost consciousness, Wales Online reports. Leisha, 35, had gone into septic shock. The brave youngster stayed by her side all night unaware of what to do. But, the next morning, quick-thinking Poppy calmly unlocked the door and walked to her school, the Pontllanfraith Primary School, and told her teachers: “Mummy’s on the floor and I can’t wake her up.” READ NEXT: Zoned out and frozen on a busy Manchester morning Leisha said her daughter saved her life. In the run up to her collapsing on January 18, the mum had undergone an operation for a twisted bowel. But since returning to work she had been feeling unwell, with her legs and face starting to swell. That night her husband …

Crocodile: Reports of reptile in Buckinghamshire village investigated by ‘brave’ Thames Valley Police | UK News

Published by skeptic

Police called to reports of a crocodile seen in flood water near an English village have escaped unharmed after discovering locals were fooled by a replica. Officers from the South Buckinghamshire team at Thames Valley Police investigated after receiving reports of the reptile’s head poking above the surface of waters near Cholesbury, a village near Tring, on the border with Hertfordshire, last week. But rather than having to battle an escaped man-eater, they found it was actually a replica, or decoy crocodile’s head, available from as little as £6.99 online and described in some reports as a toy. The force took it in good heart, posting on Facebook: “Crikey! It’s not every day that you get sent to reports of a crocodile in flood water near Cholesbury. Image: Pic: Thames Valley Police South Buckinghamshire/Facebook “Do not be alarmed, the croc is now with us at the police station. “Did you know that it is not that difficult to tell alligators and crocodiles apart? One will see you later whereas the other will see you in …

Rescuers brave Indonesia volcano eruptions to save pets

“THEIR LIVES MATTER” Authorities had told locals to evacuate outside a 7km exclusion zone around the crater, which was lowered to 5km on Sunday, with around 11,000 people earmarked for evacuation. As of Saturday, more than 5,000 people from Tagulandang had been evacuated, the national disaster mitigation agency said Sunday, while all of Ruang’s residents – more than 800 – had been taken for permanent relocation. Authorities had warned of potential flying rocks, lava flows and tsunamis due to debris sliding into the sea. But despite the risk, the volunteers were getting to work. One climbed over the fence of an abandoned house to rescue several dogs left behind by their owner, before handing them over to vet Hendrikus Hermawan. Hendrikus said the owner had asked the volunteers for help rescuing the dogs, which included a five-month-old puppy. Many of the rescued animals appeared hungry and stressed after their owners left them, he told AFP. “The first treatment we do here is give food and additional vitamins to relieve their stress,” he said, adding that …
