Nerd Church - 5 Super-Dads (And 5 Who Aren't So Super)
(This post may have some mild spoilers for various superhero-y dealies.)
Let's have some fun this Father's Day, shall we?
Superhero media is a hazardous place to be a father...
...Either you or your kid keeps getting kidnapped and you have to save each other...
...someone changes the timeline and suddenly you've accidentally poofed your child out of existence...
...your kids get ret-conned for film license purposes so that they're no longer your kids...
...they turn out to be super-villains even though you thought they were dead...
It ain't easy!

It was weird, random, probably a little bit cliché... and pretty much every kid watched it!

The last episode of the Sky/HBO dramatisation of the Chernobyl disaster aired last Tuesday.
When I was a kid, Chernobyl was the reason people couldn't sell their livestock.
I live over 1000 miles away from the site of the Chernobyl disaster. I was born years after the explosion.
But when I was a kid, Chernobyl was the reason people couldn't sell their livestock.
The restrictions on sheep farmers were only lifted in 2012.
