Streaming, TV and Movies:

In development: Yara Flor, a Latina superhero in the mold of Wonder Woman is being developed for the CW.

Warning, Spoilers! (Seriously.) Don’t click if you haven’t seen the series finale of Supernatural, because AV Club’s review gives away a really big deal. Further spoilers: EW offers a slide show of the resolutions of many of the characters.

Games:

Ravens:

The US Post Office has accepted a Tlingit artist’s raven for a Forever stamp, due out next year.

Internet:

I thought Doc Savage was the Man of Bronze, but in Burbank, CA, it’s Batman.

Here’s a strange and heart-warming tale about libraries, and overdue items (in a state that abolished fines!)

Atlas Obscura offers up Marlborough pie, a rich apple custard in a crust, just in time for the winter holidays.
