Should I do another thread explaining how the rebirth (and eventual taking over of the industry) of superheroes had almost nothing to do with the comics code?

My Mandela Effect is actually Patrick Stewart. I SWEAR I saw the Nightmare Before Christmas with the Patrick Stewart opening narration. Not once, but multiple times. To the point that, to this day, the actual opening narration sounds wrong to me.
One of my first memories of Twitter (under a different account that got banned under the ancien régime) was if this photograph and thinking “well, it’s not everyday that you see the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen”
Really surprised we never saw Patrick Stewart in a Bond movie. He would’ve made a great M or even a villain

Oh you man among men, Sir Pat, we shall not see your like again. Working as your dialect coach was a deep honor, and I so cherish that work -- the long nights, the laughs... and, huddled in a trailer in the dank Oregon dark, when you recited your favorite Shakespearean monologues, just for me. Fair winds and following seas, my friend. Travel well.
You could do a TNG marathon or the Frasier episode to honor Patrick Stewart, but might I recommend something different. Do something he would do. Read Henry V or Hamlet or Macbeth. Read the Iliad or the Epic of Gilgamesh
Has any celebrity exorcist claimed the pumpkin shaped Reese’s peanut butter cups cause possession yet?
To my knowledge this is the only project Lee Marvin and Lee Van Cleef worked on together
Why is ESPN only showing the Spanish broadcast of the Bruins game? This is hockey not goddamned soccer
My hottest take on the Hays Code is that pre-code movies not only aren’t better, they aren’t actually that good. They just have a mystique because they were so hard to see for so long.
In another reality, Robert Englund was cast in Broadway Danny Rose and spent the rest of his career playing Woody Allen’s gentile, but still nebbishy, best friend
This is pretty much the most common comics take ever. It also happens to be completely wrong.

“What number is this, Chip?”
“7-A!”
This weekend marks the anniversary of “Daydream Believer,” released on October 25, 1967.
Written by John Stewart of the Kingston Trio, and produced by Chip Douglas, it became one of those records that seemed to be an instant hit. Davy sang the lead, I sang harmony, Mike played guitar, Peter played piano, and Chip was there on bass and percussion. Shorty Rogers supplied the orchestral arrangement.
The single became our third No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, holding the top spot for four weeks. It also reached No. 1 in Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa, No. 2 in Australia and Norway, No. 4 in Germany and Japan, and No. 5 in the U.K.
Peter came up with that instantly recognizable piano introduction, and the B-side was “Goin’ Down.” It had actually been recorded during the sessions for PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD., but wound up appearing on THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES instead.
Let's hear it for "Daydream Believer!"
