You are correct in saying that he is a Kryptonian, but you are not right saying that he is not a human. They are not mutually exclusive.
Let's apply a modicum of logic here.
1. Species are largely defined as being capable of interbreeding. If he has a son then I guess they do it with Lois and it works?
He is in part human. Their DNA seems compatible. A cat could not be attracted to mating signals of a dog and unless Windows has a critical error, cat's sperm and dog's egg would not interact, preventing a development of an embryo.
98.5% of our DNA is identical to Neanderthals, and based on science and digital reproductions based on the skeletons we found they look quite different from Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
2. Physical factor
He looks like a human. If he was an alien without a common ancestor with a homo sapiens, then the form factor would not be so dramatically similar. There are many theories how Kryptonians and homo sapiens interbred in the past.
3. Literal naming
Clark is a (super)MAN and a MAN (of steel). He is not a super(Alien) or super(Kryptonian).
4. Clark often highlights that this is his world (referring to Earth).

I thought Morning Show found a way to incorporate the issues in an interesting manner. I liked both seasons.
Succession season 2 is brilliant, much better than 1, but season 3 was meh. Decent ending but still meh. They ran out of the high quality of dialogues
I agree I enjoyed season 2 but Succession 3 was unwatchable and I finally gave up. Some of the Dumbest dialog I can remember.
I could not wait to see the new Lord of the Rings until I saw the teaser trailer today. I am not sold after watching the trailer, and I am pretty discouraged. It seems like it is going to be another Witcher.

Nope. Hearing that season 3 isn't great, I'm saving the season 2 finale for when I really want a treat. Probably on the plane next Tuesday.
Haven't started Midnight Mass. I should.
I am really coming up short on material these days. I watched Reacher because I found the books pretty entertaining. Overall, I thought it was pretty lame. The guy who played Reacher fit the bill physically, but my god his acting chops were dreadful.
My wife and I started into Queens Gambit again…. Even on the third go, it’s really special.
