I don’t like talking about politics on this goofy, largely fun blog, but this has to be discussed. California congressman Robert Garcia is being sworn into office using a vintage (1939) Superman #1 comic.

Will be proudly sworn-in to Congress on the U.S. Constitution. Underneath the Constitution will be 3 items that mean a lot to me personally. A photo of my parents who I lost to covid, my citizenship certificate & an original Superman #1 from the @librarycongress. 🇺🇸😊 pic.twitter.com/YGW43OLsIp

He’ll swear in over the Constitution, but he’ll have that comic (and two other items important to him) underneath it. This isn’t unprecedented, but it does go to show that nerds are taking over. It’s almost wrong to call us nerds anymore. We should be called the cool kids.

No, not really. We’re still nerds, and you know it.
