So I’d always herd that the N52 wrecked Barbara’s character, and I figured it was true. N52 wrecked a lot of characters.

 . . . And then I started reading Birds of Prey (1999). Damn, the Barbara in that series is stone cold and absolutely amazing. She could wreck your day and you’d thank her for it.

Modern Barbara is soft, and utterly boring. Not that soft characters are inherently boring, but something important got lost when they took all of her bite out.

“…we must come to terms with the fact that public unions are designed to insulate government employees from accountability.”

Ya think?

Will Tyre Nichols' death bring police reform? Police unions stand in the way of change.

There is one powerful force that stands in the way of much-needed police reform and ending qualified immunity: unions.

Esta imagen queda para el recuerdo colectivo, La Cabeza de un cerdo estacada en la plaza pública más importante de Bogotá y el país, frente al sitio de donde se burlan de la democracia en Colombia, frente al Congreso de la República.

Una metáfora performática, que busca reflejar el sentir del pueblo Colombiano, la necesidad de un cambio abrupto en como se maneja el país, sumido a una oscuridad, en las garras de las mismas familias políticas, otras ligadas al narcotráfico, desplazamientos y desapariciones forzadas.

This image remains for the collective memory, The Head of a pig staked in the most important public square of Bogotá and the country, in front of the place where democracy is mocked in Colombia, in front of the Congress of the Republic. A performative metaphor that seeks to reflect the feelings of the Colombian people, the need for an abrupt change in how the country is managed, plunged into darkness, in the clutches of the same political families, others linked to drug trafficking, displacement and forced disappearances.
