One of my professors was the designers of the Scarlet Spider.
When the video games offered that costume option, my professor was never informed, despite being owed royalties. He had to chase Marvel down.
He died the same year Scarlet Spider was in Spider-Verse. They had to crowdfund his funeral.

like i have been saying, if you have ADHD you should be standing with trans people on their medical rights for basic moral and solidarity reasons but also the practical reason that you can fight at their barricade or you can fight at ours but it's the same fight
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Maybe, just once, they could try writing a column about how neurodivergent women were misdiagnosed with borderline all the time and then left wondering why that 'label' didn't help whilst dealing with the prejudices that came with it, but that wouldn't sound as sexy to their new right wing pals

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This. “Businesses” get destroyed by bad decisions, changes in consumer fashion, hostile takeovers, or just plain bad luck.
Business is about risk. Institutions need to be about stability, otherwise everything is at risk, all the way down.

the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

I really think it's pathetic how schoolyard bullies try to frame their dispicable worldviews as "masculine". They wouldn't know real masculinity if it kicked them in the balls.
Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."
