Doing research on the Beatles’ North American tours and came across an interview with photographer Allan DeLay who recalls being fascinated by Paul’s beauty during those days:
FYI, some of the photos he took:

me, lying awake at 2 am: "how do glass touchscreen based sci fi settings deal with the inevitable fingerprint smears. are they just wiping it down constantly? is it some insanely advanced material technology? would those led panels and backlit screens cause eye strain? what are the accessibility considerations, and what if the screen cracks? that seems really risky. would nasa build stuff this way?"

CLEAN-CUT FREAKS ALL COOPED UP.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 859x1100 -- Spotlight on CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and THE MAGIC BAND inside a wooden chicken coop, a close-up shot of the original "Safe As Milk" cover artwork/fisheye lens photo of the band, c. mid 1967. 📸: Guy Webster.
"From skewed blues opener "Sure ’Nuff ’N’ Yes I Do" to the menacing psychedelia of closer "Autumn’s Child," "Safe as Milk" still ranks among the most ambitious debuts in rock. Issued on Buddah in late summer ’67, it had the trappings of the psychedelic age, from the fisheye lens photograph to inventive studio trickery. If America enjoyed the summer of love, however, Beefheart ushered in a winter of discontent, presaging the death of hippie ideals."

it really bothers me how some young people today argue about how horrible people were back then because they engaged in acts of racism, sexism, homophobia, anti semitism etc. not because it isn’t true, but because they see themselves as morally superior above those people in the past because they would never behave like that! they would never say those racist things or commit those acts! when in reality if they were alive back then, they most likely would’ve harbored the exact same bigoted views and been just as racist, sexist, etc as the people they’re condemning.

(SPOILERS obviously):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An obvious one, but a classic, the "up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" line reference. This one never gets old.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jimmy next name drops Flamebird. in the comics Nightwing and Flamebird were Kryptonian superheroes adopting their names from a species of Kryptonian birds. This is where Dick Grayson gets his Nightwing identity from. The page here is from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #17 (1986) drawn by Curt Swan and Karl Kesel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the climatic battle of part 2 of Adventures of a Normal Man, we see Leslie Willis become blue and look more like her traditional Livewire look. Her first appearance was in Superman the Animated Series, season 2 episode 5 "Livewire" where she was voiced by Lori Petty, a.k.a. Tank Girl. In the show Leslie was a shock jock radio DJ slinging hot takes live on air knocking down Superman a peg or two
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obviously MAwS took Leslie in a whole different direction, design choice, and occupation change, but I am excited to see what happens next for her.
Tumblr media
Before we see Clark battle Leslie we see this guy. White hair, wears orange and black, its Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke. This fool here in like 20 to 25 years will have his life spiral out of control and get his ass kicked by a bunch of colorfully dressed teenagers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Deathstroke makes his first appearance in New Teen Titans #2 (1980) (W: Marv Wolfman and George Perez, P: George Perez, I: Romeo Tanghal, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Ben Oda) where he is hired by H.I.V.E. to kill the Teen Titans. In the comics he's a major piece of shit, but a damn good assassin.
Tumblr media
After the fight we see Supes clean up and he picks up a billboard that reads Amazotech.
Tumblr media
This is a good reference to Professor Anthony Ivo, a mad scientist of the DC Universe who built the Amazo robot who could adapt and replicate any power that the Justice League has and weaknesses. Both Ivo and the Amazo robot make their first appearances here in Brave and the Bold #30 (1960) with the cover art done by Mike Sekowsky and Murphy Anderson.
Tumblr media
At the end of the episode Slade name drops Task Force X better known as the Suicide Squad. The name "Suicide Squad" is from the Brave and the Bold #25 where it was the name of Rick Flag's unit in the military. The Suicide Squad pop culture knows first debuted in Legends #3 (1987) as seen below (W: John Ostrander and Len Wein, P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: Steve Haynie).
Tumblr media
The team at this time was composed of Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Enchantress, and Blockbuster. The team members have changed out with each new Task Force X/Suicide Squad iteration.
Tumblr media
Behind Slade, here is Amanda Waller, the most fearsome woman in the DC universe. She's ruthless, politically powerful, and will not hesitate to blow up anyone in the Suicide Squad if they screw up. She makes her first appearance in Legends #1 (1987) same comic series in the previous picture. Very excited to see where My Adventures with Superman goes with this cuz you don't see Superman interact with Deathstroke or Suicide Squad all the often.
