I mean honestly, it *does* explain how elite backlash against MeToo was about as intense as the reaction to 9/11.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.

Marvel should hook up Peter Parker and Spider-Gwen in a deeply problematic way for soap opera reasons

DIANE KEATON transformed American cinema with performances that redefined leading women on screen. From Annie Hall's Oscar-winning charm to The Godfather's quiet strength, she brought intelligence, vulnerability, and style to every role. A huge loss. #RIP

Honestly, the broader AI discourse on here is darkly funny because Silicon Valley invented a child pornography generator that will soon render the concept of "evidence" obsolete and this website's main takeaway is that it's bad due to its impact on the Green Lantern/Waluigi slash fan art community.

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

In this specific instant, I'll let it slide because honoring his legacy through a used car salesman gimmick everyone knows is bullshit but gets kinda hyped by anyway is what he would have wanted.
For decades, Stan Lee was the king of comic conventions. Now, nearly seven years after his death at the age of 95, he will once again be a presence at L.A. Comic Con, this time as a hologram that will use AI to have conversations with fans.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

conservatives are increasingly going to deal with issues because they treat a man being murdered in broad daylight and a beloved character being recast with a black actor as the exact same level of severity. everything is a crisis and the only acceptable response is to "crush" the enemy

Not even joking when I say the educated urban bourgeoise need to develop class consciousness. So much horrid shit throughout the developed world comes from them internalizing that they are illegitimate in a way the “noble” and “authentic” peasants and proles are not.
the Labour government is too cowardly to take steps to crush this and is instead trying to ride it in the belief that it can somehow mollify the stupidest and meanest losers in the country.

He presided over the best, most consistently good era Marvel has ever had. The Claremont/Byrne X-Men, Simonson Thor, the Miller AND Nocenti/JRjr Daredevil, and more besides. He was a very difficult person, but he did a lot of things that are worth celebrating.

Jim Shooter was a complicated man who we mainly hear bad things about these days, but it’s because of him that Marvel has a royalties program, it’s because of him that Marvel returns art to the artists, and he started the Epic line, the first creator owned comics at the big two.

I first heard this metaphor when somebody explained how difficult it was to make an open world sandbox RPG story, but I think it works for comics. Imagine having to write a book where the pages made sense in any order. Every page would be trivial nonsense like “Jim walked his dog” or “Jim ate pie.”
Continuity is important for two reasons:
1.) Picking up in the middle of a generations-long soap opera is part of the appeal of American Capeshit.
2.) More importantly, *how characters relate to each other and the events in their lives* is key to literally every story, Detective Comics, you morons

Honestly, it's emblematic of like a dozen bad things, but the power of sticking cameras on actual objects and filming their motion through physical reality in the sky* overpowers almost everything. It's so damn well made.

Top Gun 2 is an amazing movie which is also emblematic of the worst Boomer tendencies to never, ever pass on the torch of leadership under any circumstances.
Top Gun: Maverick is a Hallmark Christmas movie. Career-obsessed bachelor faces a crisis by taking a teaching job at his old school. Reconnects with an ex who is now a local business owner. Learns to become a Stepdad during a last-minute ski trip.*
