Important distinction here. If you want to create your own Shadow stories, you have to wait another year. Unless you just need a mysterious narrator in a black hood.
The Shadow is in the public domain as of 2026.

But only as a mysterious narrator. The pulp hero version goes PD next year, and in 2033 he’ll be able to cloud men’s minds so they cannot see him.

Irony can be pretty ironic.
AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

Reading the ending of Absolute Superman 14:
a man in a blue jacket is crying and says " are you crying "
Alt: “Are you crying?” “No, I just have something in both my eyes.”

Nic and Dani are back again to talk about Anthony Mackie’s first big-screen outing as the new Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World! There’s a lot to unpack here, from the missteps to the missed opportunities and how this movie could have been great if Marvel didn’t get cold feet.

You know what I want AI to do? Automate the uploading of my content to the fifty billion platforms that are out there, so then I can have more time to write.

Weiss just Streisand Effected this piece. If she just let it air, it wouldn’t have gotten as much oxygen as it’s going to get now.

What a stupid, fucking tool.

Just saw someone suggest that they think the DNC is hiding the autopsy because the left of the party is “anti-semitic.”

Again the argument that “our neolib BS is perfectly fine and you stupid pinkos need to let Israel slaughter as many Palestinian babies as they want.”

In other words:
a cartoon character in a suit and tie stands in front of a fire escape
Alt: Principal Skinner asking if he’s out of touch then saying, “no, it’s the children who are wrong.”

Fellow podcaster Derick McDuff returns to discuss Madame Web. Yet another of Sony’s attempts to create a Spider-Man universe without Spider-Man, and with a cast that’s sleepwalking through pretty much the entire production.

My wife's Echo popped up a news article with the headline, "Gen-Z is cutting their holiday budgets. This is why." We don't need to read the article to know why—late-stage capitalism sucks balls, no one has money, and we need to tax the fucking rich.

The top artist and song are both because of my daughter. Dancing in the Moonlight is her favorite song and she insisted on playing it on repeat for damn near the whole month we were in Chicago.

So on the one hand, this is much better than Paramount. Who knows what sort of influence Ellison would have exerted over WB's content if that fucker were in charge.

On the other hand, media consolidation continues to be very, very bad for everyone who's not a billionaire.

So…let’s get this straight. Takaichi models herself after Thatcher, who was so despised that people danced in the streets when she died. Now she wants to replicate DOGE. An organization so despised it turned Musk into a global pariah and contributed to Trump’s record low approvals.
「日本版DOGE」来週にも立ち上げ、木原官房長官中心に-遠藤首相補佐官
日本維新の会の遠藤敬首相補佐官は18日、政策効果を点検する「政府効率化局」を来週にも立ち上げると明らかにした。片山さつき財務相と省内で面会した後、記者団の取材に応じた。

Sarah Hurwitz thinks the lesson of the Holocaust was NOT “stop the powerful from brutalizing the powerless” but instead was “the Holocaust gives Israel a free pass to do whatever they fucking want, up to and including genocide.”
Ex-Obama Aide Says Holocaust Education Is ‘Confusing’ Young People Into Sympathizing With ‘Weak, Skinny’ Palestinians
Former White House aide Sarah Hurwitz warned this week that Holocaust education was "confusing" young people into sympathizing with "weak, skinny Palestinians."

So…if none of the money goes to insurance companies…and if there’s no government-sponsored single-payer system…then where does the insurance come from?
Welcome to a “Concept of a Plan” edition of the MAGA Minute!

Today, Trump announces his healthcare plan!

- No Affordable Care Act
- Feds tax people so they can return their money to them…so they can pay insurance companies whatever the companies want.

Perhaps more of a plan of a concept…

Saw Del Toro’s Frankenstein and I’ve gotta say, this is my favorite take on the book that I’ve seen. Elordi is incredible as the creature.

I’m always happy to talk about why Angel S5 is my favorite of the entire Buffyverse. This was a fun episode to record and I’m looking forward to seeing how it came out!
