Reminder that Stan Lee was on our side.
Stan’s soapbox: From time to time we receive letters from readers who wonder why there’s so much moralizing in our mags. They take great pains to point out that comics are supposed to be escapist reading, and nothing more. But somehow, I can’t see it that way. It seems to me that a story without a message, however subliminal, is like a man without a soul. In fact, even the most escapist literature of all— old-time fairy tales and heroic legends — contained moral and philosophical points of view. At every college campus where I may speak, there's as much discussion of war and peace, civil rights, and the so-called youth rebellion as there is of our Marvel mags per se. None of us lives in a vacuum-none of us is untouched by the everyday events about us-events which shape our stories just as they shape our lives. Sure our tales can be called escapist-but just because something's for fun, doesn't mean we have to blanket our brains while we read it!

Often carved and decorated, a box-bed was the pride of its owners. In homes with usually only one room, the box-bed allowed some privacy and helped keep people warm during winter. It was the main furniture of rural houses in Brittany until the 20th century.

Europe's Green parties know Jill Stein is a spoiler for Trump. The idea that she cares what they think is laughable, however.

She has singlehandedly destroyed the brand in the US. Fortunately, our Aotearoa Green Party has not been tarred with this brush.

This trend is driven largely by the STEM community, with 1.4 million new developers joining various open source projects.

Python's popularity is attributed to its simple syntax and extensive library support.
