Is National Superhero Day Still a Thing?

Remembering having posted a brief mention of a report on CTV News back in 2016...and since it's apparently four days away this year as of today, I wonder how those of us so inclined might want to observe the occasion.

Sidebar: This notice was prompted by my digging through old entries tagged "social media". I'm still trying to figure out whether or not to get a Twitter account finally. I'd made a promise to myself not to sign up while DT-45 is still running amuck there. And yet there's still lots of people whose commentaries and activities are worth keeping a virtual eye on over there.

OPINION: Leaders We Need, "Leaders" We Don't: A Follow-Up

Following up on the other day's brief link-and-comment:

From the Guardian: Are female leaders more successful at managing the coronavirus crisis? - Plenty of countries with male leaders have also done well. But few with female leaders have done badly - filed by Jon Henley and Eleanor Ainge Roy

Opinions on specific cases cited therein, anyone?

I'm of a general opinion as follows, highly oversimplified beyond a doubt by my brain: women in politics - they get the job done.
