Review – Absolute Flash #5: Heating Up
Absolute Flash #5 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: The Absolute line continues to have an unparalleled creative record, as just about every issue is phenomenal. That's definitely the case for this issue, as Wally West faces his largest-scale threat ever – but it may not be a villain at all. Last issue saw the runaway teenager still struggling to master his powers as he finds a surprise haven – a mission and foster home run by Ralph and Sue Dibny. He even finds a friend and maybe something more in Linda Park, another kid calling the place home. But it's not long before things go sideways – a mysterious creature is lurking in the sewers under the mission, burning everything it touches. Wally encounters it, and soon realizes it's not a monster at all – it's Mick Rory, one of the Rogues, and he wasn't thought to have survived the experiment. But he did – if you can call what he's turned into surviving. Fireproof. Via DC Comics. AL Kaplan guest-stars on art for the second issue, and their depiction of Heat Wave is terrifying – this is the most radical reinvention of a villain yet, and he's been turned into something more akin to Plasmus. But this isn't a rampaging beast driven by hate – it's pretty clear that what's left of Mick Rory is terrified and in pain. But the only person who understands that at first is Grodd – and the little fan-favorite monkey does his best to get it across before one of the combatants does something they can't take back. The issue also has some great segments for the rest of the Rogues, as Dr. Thawne continues her shady plans and Rudy West makes a bold decision to try to save his son. But in the middle of all this, Wally discovers exactly how much his powers can do – and potentially loses the only safe haven he has. This is one of the best takes on Wally West I've read in a very long time. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes. Liked it?

Video: Golden Retriever With Big Feelings Wants to Cuddle While Owner Comforts Him
There's no such thing as a low-maintenance Golden Retriever — not emotionally, at least. They love hard, play hard, and apparently, pout even harder. One Golden named Wally recently showed us that dogs can absolutely have a 'long day' and need to decompress just like anyone else. Thankfully, his mom was there to provide comfort, emotional support, and, most importantly, a video of the whole dramatic exchange. Wally is a sensitive soul and has big emotions, really big. The Golden Retriever recently became the center of attention on Instagram after his owner shared a touching video of him needing some serious emotional comfort. The clip starts with Wally sitting quietly in front of the camera, looking unusually somber. Picking up on his mood, his mom begins speaking to him gently, asking why he's feeling down. She goes on to reassure him, listing all the good things that happened that day: how his grandma and aunt came over, how he got not one but two new toys. Wally, however, doesn't seem too convinced. As she holds up his new carrot toy in an effort to spark some excitement, the sad-eyed pup barely glances at them. Instead, he nudges his head into her face, seeking comfort over distractions. The most touching part of the video comes when Wally keeps leaning into his mom, resting his head against her as she pets him softly. His eyes close for a moment, as if he is soaking in every word and every gentle touch. 'It's okay, you don't have to be sad,' she says, as she pets him with calm, quiet affection. In the caption, his mom summed up the moment, writing, 'Golden Retrievers really do feel everything.' And judging by the comments, viewers couldn't agree more. One person wrote, 'He misses his Grandma and aunty. Such an emotional boiiiii.' Another commented, 'He needs an emotional support human.' Many users expressed how much they wanted a Golden Retriever after seeing the video, with one commenter adding, 'They really make my heart smile.'

Video: Golden Retriever Discovered a New Way of Playing Fetch
It's a known fact that dogs love to play fetch with their hooman friends. Many believe that Golden Retrievers are the masters of this game. They can spend hours in the field chasing balls and sticks. But it looks like this Golden Retriever, Wally, is all set to defy this notion as he has discovered a new way of playing this game without using too much energy. The hilarious video shows Wally's tactic of playing fetch is one of a kind, where he does not have to run while playing this engaging game. Golden Retrievers are energetic and 'athletic' pups who love to play fetch. However, looking at Wally, a 'BIG golden retriever with BIG emotions,' one will surely have second thoughts. This canine 'loves playing fetch,' but his style is rather different. Instead of running behind the ball, like usual, the pooch prefers to play this game in a more comfortable way. In the sweet video uploaded by the pet parents on @ the Golden is seen playing fetch while lying on the floor! Yes, instead of chasing the ball, the pooch decides to play fetch with his pet parents while lying sideways. Wally simply touches the ball with his feet, and it rolls back to the owner. The pet parent then rolls back the ball for Wally to play fetch, and 'rumor has it this went on for hours.' Looking at the Golden Retriever's unconventional way of playing fetch in the video, many netizens could not stop showering their love on Wally. They immediately flooded the comment section of the clip, with one user saying, 'I just love it… perfectly coordinated exercise.' While another individual mentioned, 'He IS playing fetch. The roles are just switched!' A third person commented, 'I still think gets an A for effort!' The post Video: Golden Retriever Discovered a New Way of Playing Fetch appeared first on DogTime.

‘We have a responsibility': seniors spend golden years fighting for planet
Pat Wally traces her concern about climate change to a conversation she had with one of her grandchildren. The child, who was 10 years old at the time, envisioned a future where the environment would be degraded to such a degree that people won't be able to go outside without wearing gas masks. 'That really hit home for me,' Wally says. The 76-year-old Winnipegger chairs Seniors for Climate MB, the provincial chapter of a national organization of seniors dedicated to facing the climate crisis and creating a livable future for Canadians. The group has members in communities throughout Manitoba, including Brandon, Carman, Lac du Bonnet, Morden, The Pas, Steinbach and Winnipeg. Higher temperatures, more frequent and extreme weather events, and rising sea levels are some of the changes to climate affecting many aspects of Canadians' lives. 'We were all concerned about what was going on with the climate and this was something to do about it,' Wally says of forming the group. 'Rather than sit at home and be concerned, we can go out and actually do something and hopefully we can make it better — or at least hold the line on what's happening, because we don't need to make it worse.' The group's main messages include that the world is in a climate emergency and we need to act now; the use of fossil fuels must be phased out; the transition to renewable power and clean energy must be sped up; and action on climate must include people from all walks of life. Climate change is affecting people's lives and one need look no further than the wildfires blazing in Manitoba to see it, says Shawn Kettner.

'It's necessary for everyone to engage, especially in the circumstances we're in now.' Jean Clipsham says she has been concerned about climate change since the 1970s.

'(Volunteering with Seniors for Climate MB is) a continuation of my career,' the 77-year-old says. 'It's beginning to look bleaker and bleaker for our children's and grandchildren's future.' The organization held its first event last year when it marked National Seniors' Day for Climate Action at The Forks. The group is currently planning a concert titled Draw a Line for a Liveable Future that will take place at the West End Cultural Centre in September.
