WITHDRAWAL The United States will bring home its over 3,000 remaining soldiers in Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, delaying its planned withdrawal for five months in an effort to bolster faltering peace talks between the Afghan government and Taliban insurgent group. The Conversation says: “The new troop withdrawal date is symbolic, marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that within weeks led to the U.S. invasion of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. But it fails to meet former President Donald Trump administration’s planned May 1 troop withdrawal, which was negotiated with the Taliban as part of a 2020 U.S. peace accord with the group.”
I hope we genuinely end the war in Afghanistan, but not in the way we did with Iraq which technically concluded in 2011 but still has 2000 service members on the ground this very day ????

PRETTY IN PINK Is this for real? The images of a pink colored Jupiter like planet has been making the rounds on Twitter recently but are they real?
A 17 year old NASA intern discovered it. His name is Wolf Cukier, and he discovered on the third day of his Summer internship. ???? https://t.co/Tcw21raND0

Sadly, we won’t know what it looks like until like half a century because it’s like 1300 light years away, and we don’t have the telescope technology yet for that. These pictures are just an artist depiction of it. The BBC said: As far as impressing your potential new boss goes, discovering a planet on day three of your internship at NASA is up there. That’s what happened to 17-year-old Wolf Cukier while helping out at the space agency in the United States. He was checking images from its super-strength satellite when he noticed something strange. It turned out to be a new planet, 1,300 light years away from Earth. News just confirmed by NASA.

EAZY SLEAZY a post-lockdown COVID-19 rock anthem. Mick Jagger teamed up with Dave Grohl to release a surprise song about coming out of the pandemic. The Rolling Stones singer and the Foo Fighters frontman put out “Eazy Sleazy” on Tuesday (see the video and full lyrics below). It’s a sort of COVID-19 rock anthem that manages to touch on lockdown, Zoom calls, masks, anti-vaxxers and more, all while celebrating a return to freedom and “a garden of earthly delights.”
“I wanted to share this song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism – thank you to Dave Grohl for jumping on drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with you on this-hope you all enjoy Eazy Sleazy!” the 77-year-old Jagger wrote on Twitter.
Here’s the result:
TWEET OF THE DAY comes from Dave Bautista reacting to fans who want to see him play Kilowog in an upcoming Green Lantern movie. Ok I know I’m not the best looking guy in the world but how come whenever I’m fancast as a character it’s always one that’s ummmm…. aesthetically challenged?! . This is probably why I can’t get that rom-com lead!

SORTED Halloween with these WandaVision costumes.
A BRIEF HISTORY of DC Comics’ Black Supermen over at Gizmodo is a thorough and smart look at the history of the various Supermen of the multi-verse that are Black.
MORE SUPERMEN Evil Supermen are everywhere. Is this trend a brazen act of countercultural deconstruction — or does it just reflect a punishing lack of imagination? EW: “There’s a long history of Superman turning bad; there’s a long history of Superman doing anything. Way back in 1964, he met Ultraman, a dastardly double from Earth-Three. The ’90s brought a Terminator-ish super-doppelgänger, who pretended to be Superman before destroying fake Los Angeles. Hoechlin already played a different black-suited impostor in a 2018 CW crossover. There are multiverse scenarios where he’s raised by Soviets, Nazis, or Darkseid. In the 2000s Justice League cartoon, another Superman executes his Lex Luthor, a defensible act that slippery-slopes into dystopic oppression.”
The presence of NSFW content does not necessarily mean a server is NSFW by Discord’s standards. “Having NSFW channels does not automatically mean, however, that an entire server should be designated NSFW,” the company wrote. “Servers must be classified as NSFW if the community is organized around NSFW themes or if the majority of the server’s content is 18+. Discord will mark servers meeting these criteria as NSFW if they are not appropriately designated.”
THROWBACK THURSDAY to when Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) broke the time barrier in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
