Have you noticed folding bicycles lately? I’ve been seeing them around town and on the internet a lot lately. I really want a Brompton.

"Jack Kirby hated this story, by the way. (And by all accounts generally
thought Byrne was a douchebag all around.) He felt it was an
inappropriate use of his characters and Superman. Fun fact: Kirby
modeled Barda on his wife. Barda. The character Byrne put in porn. And
Byrne claims to not understand why Kirby didn’t like the story."

The Dutch pancake joint on Western Avenue finally opened. I liked it. The pancakes were super thin so I did not fall into the usual pancake coma after I was done. I think they should wrap them into a cone shape and sell them out a take-out window so I can eat them on my way to the EL train in the morning.
