Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

For the evening crowd.
Looking at the special features on the Lionsgate Limited website, there's not much reason for me to grab their new 4K steelbook editions of BATTLE ROYALE and DOGMA. For the former, the Arrow set I have should suffice and the new set doesn't seem to offer enough new material to justify it.

I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Idk if this is a hot take but I think, in this day and age, every physical copy of a book should come with a free PDF version. I’d include comic book trades in this too, but especially if you buy an omnibus or hardcover deluxe edition.

If Bluesky wants to disprove rumours that they’re just aiming to be bought out by some right-wing chud billionaire, suspending Sarah Kendzior without notice or explanation is… not the way to go about it.

Also: “James Bond is a code name” is a lazy and “continuity-first” retcon patch job that just doesn’t hold water. James Bond is James Bond, the son of Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond, and has been one character for 70+ years. Just tell a good story between the titles. It’s not a soap opera.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.
