Join the Book Club Bois as they near the end of the Geoff Johns GREEN LANTERN SAGA!


Thaal Sinestro. Hal Jordan. These two men have been intertwined for years as allies, then adversaries. But now they hold the same title: Green Lantern. They will need to work together as mysterious forces gather to take control of the universe and destroy the Green Lantern Corps from the inside. They will be tested by faces new and old, and their journey will take them to the hidden home of the Indigo Tribe - where the disturbing secrets of their inception will threaten to tear this new partnership apart before their enemies do. Elsewhere, we finally answer the question… What is the THIRD ARMY?

GIANT-SIZED Book Club: Geoff Johns' The Flash Part 5 (CROSSFIRE)

nothing special

🌱✨ Welcome to “Liberal Love” — the rom-com nobody asked for but everybody’s seen on their Instagram feed.

It’s the story of two high-earning soulmates who discovered each other at a climate rally, shared their first kiss after signing a petition in an alley, and have been composting their romance in a mason jar ever since. 💚

Avocado toast captions, rainbow-flagged selfies, tote bags with Che, quinoa debates, book clubs, and rooftop bars — this isn’t just a love story, it’s a whole syllabus of progressive clichés, wrapped up in catchy choruses and tongue-in-cheek rhymes.

🎶 Think carbon-neutral kisses, fair-trade beans, and endless “I support…” declarations that sound less like vows and more like hashtags.

Funny, moving, and just a little too real — “Liberal Love” is the soundtrack of every protest, book club, and Instagram story where irony and sincerity hold hands.

So grab your reusable water bottle, adjust your Coexist bumper sticker, and hit play. Because even love can be performative — but at least it’s catchy.

Lyrics:

She had a Coexist bumper sticker on her car,
He shouted “tax the rich!” from his rooftop bar.
Both high earners, sipping fair-trade beans,
Collecting causes like fashion scenes.
They found each other at a climate rally,
First kiss after signing a petition in an alley.

He posted avocado toast on Instagram,
Captioned: “This planet’s dying, blame the man!”
She rolled her eyes, “That’s so problematic,”
But still liked the post, oh so automatic.

LL for Liberal Love,
“This is a safe space” fits like a glove.
LL for Liberal Love,
We need to have a conversation above. 

They argued who cared more about the planet’s fate,
He cursed the car drivers, then flew overseas to celebrate.
She framed their selfies with a rainbow flag,
Carried a Che Guevara print on her tote bag.
They stood for everything, the cause of the day,
“I support…” was the only vow they could say.

Long talks about feelings, instead of a fight,
But she found him boring — not toxic, polite.
Still, book clubs and protests kept them strong,
Two NPC hearts chanting every song.

LL for Liberal Love,
“No borders, no walls” is what we dream of.
LL for Liberal Love,
Inclusivity fits us like a glove. 

They composted their love in a mason jar,
Called everything “problematic,” no matter how bizarre.
From quinoa debates to “ally” speeches,
To fair-trade beans and rainbow beaches.

LL for Liberal Love,
Avocado hearts, hashtags above.
LL for Liberal Love,
Carbon-neutral kisses — that’s enough.

L. L.

GIANT-SIZED Book Club: Geoff Johns' The Flash Part 9 (THE SECRETS OF BARRY ALLEN)

Welcome to Drunk on Language!

Here in this space, we get some alcohol and a book, usually, and talk about language. In this episode, we unpack and analyze the book Polyglot (1970) by Dr. Kató Lomb, and take some tips from one of the 20th century's most accomplished interpreters. In the book, she reveals her personal strategies that helped her master 16 languages.

Your host today is Professor H. The squirrels that robbed me this morning left the beer, but took the last 4 letters of my name. A search party has been sent out.

Episode 1: In which your host, full of beer and chocolate, reads a decades-old linguistics book, in a sweaty room in the Balkans with the AC cranked up

Thank you to my inspirations, including: Drunk History, Paulaner Munchner Hell, Cheleando con Mextalki, and the Game of Thrones Abridged podcast.

''Polyglot'' by Kató Lomb: A Shrewd Analysis, Chapters 1-4 (Episode 1/egy, Drunk on Language)

A totally sober, shrewd, surgical look at a linguistic book, Polyglot: How I learn Languages (1970) by famed interpreter Dr. Kató Lomb.  In this episode, we look at confidence, dictionaries, the intersection of fences and asses, and men's vs women's language.

Hungry for Languages channel, reaction to a Kató Lomb interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNKf1eoK9Ts

''Polyglot'' by Kató Lomb: A Shrewd Analysis, Book's End (Episode 3/három, Drunk on Language)

Your host Hans Hamrd brings you another episode of Drunk on Language.  This time, we cover what the heck happened to the written form of English in 1755, and why millions of kids are tortured with spelling bees each year.

''The Story of English'' by Philip Gooden.  Dr. Johnson's Dictionary (Episode 6/siex)

An Interview with Abdulaziz Mohammed AlMulla Library program coordinator at Sharjah Art Foundation about the monthly book club, the topics, and much more

SAF Book Club for OCT - The Thinking Room

We have fun with language here.  If you accidentally learn something, we're sorry.

My influences and inspirations for the Drunk on Language Book Club include: Nativlang, Xidnaf, Rick Steves, Drunk History, Langfocus, Game of Thrones Abridged, My Drunk Kitchen with Hannah Hart, and Mextalki.
The men in my life: Jim Beam, Jack Daniel, José Cuervo, Los Kunstmanns, Captain Morgan, Don Q, Pyotr Smirnoff, Mike and his ''Hard Lemonade''.      

And Brendon Urie.  -heavy breathing-
