Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now
He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.
For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.
Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.
He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor
Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going
For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.
He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.
Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."
The new record speech is on the right side of history.

of course Dick is a universal donor. Of course he is. It's about the metaphor, you see. You can give everything you are and everything you have to the cause and even after you've given everything you have, you still have the very blood running through your veins left to give! Dan Watters when I catch you!!!!
If Batman/Nightwing: Bloodborne still happened in the current continuity, this would imply that Bruce is also O-. Which is somewhat further supported by Bruce receiving an O- transfusion in Batman Annual #3. Meaning they can both give blood to anyone, but can only receive blood from each other.
“they can both give blood to anyone but only receive blood from each other” this is so beautiful. im like. seeing the implications of this across everything like. they both give everyone else everything -- they dedicate their lives to helping other people, they give and they give and they give. even their blood types are representative of how capable they are of endlessly giving. but, in the end, all you has to sustain yourself... to save yourself... is what he gave you….. now im thinking so hard about bloodbourne + that one line that dick has somewhere which is like "all i have now is what he gave me" that i can't place. someone help.

Anonymous asked:
Do you know where I can find canon references to Dick being Bruce’s favorite child?
There are so many I started a folder labeled "Dick is Canonically Bruce's Favorite Child" lmao
Some of the more obvious panels (though I will note that some of the older ones were written before any other kids were introduced):
"In order to cover up my Batman work, I had to pretend to be a playboy. And now it's made me lose the person I love most." -"Bruce Wayne Loses the Guardianship of Dick Grayson," Batman (1940) #20
"That boy meant more to me than anything in life..." -The Brave and the Bold (1955) #83
"But believe me I couldn't have loved any son more." -Tales of the Teen Titans (1984) #50
“Nightwing. He is the best. The only one I could have picked to lead you. He will honor you. We will make you champions. That’s it. That’s the speech. Get to work, Justice League. The world needs you.” -JLA (1997) #69
“Then he stopped for a second and said…‘The only time I ever feel pride is when I look at Nightwing. Sometimes I think he’s the only thing I ever did right.’” -JLA (1997) #73
“What happens to everyone on this Earth when yours comes back?” “They’ll be folded into its historical fabric.” “You mean they’ll die.” “No, they’ll be replaced. Just as everyone on my Earth was. But they’ll be better. I never lie, Bruce.” “And what about Dick Grayson?” “Yes?” “Is he a better man on your Earth than he is on mine?” “No.” -Infinite Crisis (2005) #3
OMAC: “And your favorite. Subject Beta–Grayson, Richard–Nightwing.” -Infinite Crisis (2005) #6
“From the day I started, Bruce and Dick made me feel at home. And after Jason...and especially my Dad…Bruce made sure to always treat me like his own son. But even with all his careful and methodical attention–to any younger child–the firstborn is still the firstborn.” -DCU: Last Will and Testament (2008)
“That’s because…I learned from the best.” “A good teacher relishes a good student. You were the best of them all, Dick.” -Batman Beyond (2016) #40 (AU, but still….)
And a few "less obvious but with very pointed implications" panels:
"Didn't you think I was good enough to be you?" "You're better than me, Dick." -Detective Comics (1937) #725
"And today showed me that I can be Batman." "I never doubted it, Dick. Given enough time, I'm sure you'd make an even better Batman than me." -Batman: Gates of Gotham (2011) #5
"And the truth is, I didn't save you from some dark fate, those years ago. You saved me from one. And you still are saving me, every day." -Batman (2011) #11
“I…I’m going to be a member of the Justice League one day?” “No. You’re going to lead it.” -Justice League (2011) #51
"Happy birthday, Dick. The best man I've ever known." -from "A Little Nudge," Robin 80th Anniversary Special (2020)
Also bonus Jason being insecure about it:
"I guess that's why "Dad" always loved you best." -Outsiders (2003) #44
Jason respected him. Admired him. And yes, was jealous of him too. Dick, after all, was the first Robin. In Jason's eyes, he was the favorite son: the shining example he could never live up to. -DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! (2024) #1
