An absolute win for James Gunn. Not sure why they don't keep Pattinson as his film can easily fit with the current DCU but I'm glad it led to someone putting Pratt in his place
Chris Pratt says he photoshopped himself in a Batman mask and sent it to James Gunn — and he just laughed at him

"It's safe to say I'm not gonna be Batman" 😂

Oops, our U.S. data center partner just so happened have an outage that shadowbanned all left-wing political content on our platform for 48 hours. And this just so happened to coincide with us being purchased by one of Trump's friends. Our bad.

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."
Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?
Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

P sure it's because they have fallen in love with not engaging with someone who has dedicated herself to the dehumanization and demonization of an entire class of people.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

#AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms is doing a tremendous job with costumes that respect the lore and make it super easy to identify everyone, even during a tourney. Dunk & Egg stories are top tier ASOIAF content but I'm still surprised at how good the show is, so far. Fingers crossed they get to adapt more

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

My cat: opens her mouth twice a day on command, for meds, and loves doing it.

Also my cat if she hears me say “let's check your teeth”: jaw made of titanium. has never had to open her mouth for anything *ever* in her life and is offended you'd ask such a thing of her.

Transcendence is out Friday, January 30 on Amazon.

Barnes & Noble copies are coming out as early as February 5 (I made a small formatting error I had to fix. I can never have a 100% normal release, I guess), so be on the lookout for that edition if interested. It includes bonus content. #authorsky
