A long, long time ago in middle school, I was bullied so badly that I was refusing to go to school. My counselor then threatened to send me to juvenile detention for truancy if I missed another day.

I remember that after I made it a month without missing any days, he took me to McDonald's. My parents acted like he was a great man for doing that. But I didn't think so, not one bit. Not a single day would go by without some form of bullying, and he did nothing about it. Nobody did.

I was thinking about contacting him and asking why he threatened me with incarceration instead of the bullies, and telling him how damaged I am to this day because of that school. But today I learned that he died in 2018. I will never get those answers or any closure.

I wonder if this thing is ever coming out.

Forgive me if this has been posted already, but I am shocked and disgusted at this. I can see how deifying MJ makes sense financially for the estate, but why would you glorify a monster like Joseph Jackson!?

I have this vague memory of reading one of the MASK DC comics as a kid where VENOM blew up a space shuttle on the tarmac. It might have even been the Challenger. And I was really confused if they somehow predicted the Challenger Disaster or if it was a response to it.

EDIT: I found it in issue 4 of the 1st DC miniseries. And it was the Challenger. The cover date says March of 86 (after the Challenger Disaster), but if I remember right back in the day, the comics would come out a couple months before the month on the cover, which would have been before the explosion.
