Truly, people will never, ever stop complaining about the man.

Also on reddit: "This is an old book" but also "snapchat was mentioned". Uh....

I got a text this morning from Chase, asking me about a suspicious charge. I tried to log in to their website to look at it, but couldn't get them to send me a one-time code, so I went ahead and sent back "NO," telling them to cancel/replace the card in question. Now I'm going to have to update a _lot_ of recurring charges and stored payment methods.

So far I have had enough trouble finding my other credit card that I went ahead and gave Chewy a debit card for the auto ship order they're in the middle of processing. I then looked further back in the same drawer, found the other credit card, and put it in my wallet. I'm going to wait for the new card to arrive, and use it for most of the recurring charges, because I get slightly better points/cash back on purchases. But this is going to be tedious and time-consuming, and I will almost certainly forget at least one recurring charge.

I think I can make a list of the monthly charges by looking at last month's bill, at least.

It’s up to those of us who experienced the pandemic in the real-world to make sure that what actually happened in 2020 isn’t deliberately erased by sheltered disinformation agents who experienced it all from their laptops. "

Two of the stories in Justice League Quarterly #6 are better recapped later: one’s another Global Guardians bit, and one’s a Blue Beetle story that ends a phase in his development we’ve only seen foreshadowed so far. The other two, we can get to right now! Unfortunately, they're both mysteries with flawed premises, leading to climaxes that misfire even if there's some pleasure to be found in the buildup.

( They’re still better than the later Praxis arc, but…low bar. )

So to speak.

I think the denouement is not quite what it should be, and sticking the ending is vital.

But I think that will be the work of another revision
