That's great the live #Daredevil is referencing things from the comics. @TheRodneyBarnes wrote the Luke Cage Gang War mini tie-in comic. Many of you need to pick up that comic. I wish you would have picked it up when CB Cebulski had it in print I need another ongoing. 😅

We caught up with the guests from the first season of the Superfan Podcast to see what they are up to. spfanpodcast.substack.com/p/the-podcast-…

Jim Rohn's 7 attitude diseases that silently destroy success: "Attitude diseases are deadly. They'll destroy all the good things you start. I'm a pro on these because I've had them all." 1. Indifference. "The shrug of the shoulder. The guy's not even concerned. He's just drifting. There's one problem with drift: you cannot drift to the top of the mountain. Here's the key to the good life: Learn to put everything you've got into everything you do. The delusion is, 'If I had a better job, I'd really pour it on.' Wherever you are, pour it on." 2. Indecision. "Mental paralysis. The guy can't make up his mind. He says, 'What if I get off on the wrong side?' Listen, after a while, it doesn't matter. Just get off. Any side will do. The ones that turn out to be wrong give you better experience to make better decisions. Don't see how many decisions you can get out of, see how many you can get into. That's where the adventure is." 3. Doubt. "One of the worst is self-doubt. The guy doubts himself. Doubts if it'll last. Doubts if he can do that well. Doubts if he can make that much. A chronic, excellent self-doubter. You can imagine what damage that does to your future. Turn this coin over and become a believer. The understanding of self-worth is the beginning of progress." 4. Worry. "Worry causes health problems, social problems, personal problems, family problems. Worry long enough, it'll drop you to your knees. I used to be known as a super worrier. Not a super warrior, a super worrier. My family wished I'd have been a warrior. It took me almost one year to kick the worry habit. It was one of the toughest years I ever spent. But I discovered you could live the most incredible life free of worry. Not free of challenge, not free of difficulty, free of worry." 5. Overcaution. "Some people never will have much. They're too cautious. This is the timid approach to life. I used to say, 'What if this happens?' It's called the language of the poor. Then I discovered it's all risky. The minute you were born, it got risky. If you think trying is risky, wait till they hand you the bill for not trying. Getting married is risky. Having children is risky. Going into business is risky. I'll tell you how risky life is; you're not going to get out alive. Don't ask for security. Ask for adventure. Better to live 30 years full of adventure than 100 years safe in the corner." 6. Pessimism. "The deadly disease of always looking on the bad side. The poor pessimist doesn't try to figure out what's right; he tries to figure out what's wrong. He doesn't look for virtue; he looks for faults. And when he finds them, he's delighted. How ugly. To the pessimist, the glass is always half empty. To the optimist, it's half full. Our lives are mostly affected by the way we think things are, not the way they are." Jim shares what changed his thinking: "I used to start the day reading the morning newspaper. I'd load up on wars and riots and murders and stabbings and killings. I'd even read the back pages. I seem to like that stuff for some weird reason. Then I'd start the day. You can imagine the kind of days I used to have. Mr. Shoaff gave me one of the greatest phrases: 'Jim, every day, stand guard at the door of your mind.' Don't let anybody just dump anything they want into your mental factory because you've got to live with the results." 7. Complaining. "Complaining, crying, whining, griping. Spend five minutes complaining and you have wasted five, and you may have begun what's known as economic cancer of the bone. Surely they will soon haul you off into a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret."

Imo Dwayne McDuffie is one of the top superhero storytellers ever, right next to Jack Kirby, Frank Miller, and Alan Moore. He elevated every single project he was even slightly involved in. Sorely missed.

During the chaotic production of Apocalypse Now (1979), Francis Ford Coppola endured typhoons, massive budget overruns, and cast crises. Reflecting on the ordeal, he famously said: “My film is not about Vietnam. It is Vietnam.”

An audience member came on stage to tell a joke, and he absolutely nailed it 😂🤣🤣
