I love Rogue and Gambit
If you are excited about Rogue and Gambit playing super-footsie in @marvelrivalsglobal.bsky.social, just a reminder that they are in nearly every issue of UNCANNY X-MEN, leading the team and forgetting to wear britches.

Gordon Kennedy was in Robin Hood about two decades ago, but every time I see him appear on a show I think, "Hey! It's Little John!"

This is JUST like how the media covers police shootings.
“Man struck by bullet during police stop.”
“Teen girl upends politician’s career by having sex.”
Same refusal to clearly call out the powerful when they do something wrong.
Someone posted this as satire, but it’s basically this headline.

That mean homeless teenager, upending the career of Matt Gaetz.
What on EARTH is @nytimes.com doing?!
She did not “have sex.” She was raped. Because she was a child below the age of consent.
SHE did not “set off a chain of events.” MATT GAETZ set off that train.

A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

one of the funnier bits about moving from a blue state to a red state is that red states still need money to run things and will often just collect it via fees instead
so you pay less in taxes but everything else is more expensive and you don’t actually come out much better

Decent number of the California conservative transplants to Texas have been surprised to find 1: it's not actually that much cheaper, 2: our services suck, 3: they will still be treated like blue haired hippies just for being from California

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

All the adults failed her including her dad

"Were" in werewolf is from the old English "wer", meaning man. The old english for woman was "wif", which is where we get wife from.
