relistened to it for the first time in ages earlier this year, can't recommend it highly enough
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is such a great album, let alone "not a weak track on this mf", there's not a weak verse on the whole purple tape

![[Gunn] is incredulous about this, almost delirious, which feels like a decent time to raise a topic he might want to skirt away from: the fictional countries of Barovia and Jarhanpur in the film. Barovia, armed to the absolute teeth, ploughs into the rather unfortified Jarhanpur, which appears to be a Middle Eastern state. The Barovians seem to want to kill everyone in sight.
Which countries, I ask Gunn, does he think viewers will believe are being alluded to here? “Oh, I really don’t know,” he says, quickly. “But when I wrote this the Middle Eastern conflict wasn’t happening. So I tried to do little things to move it away from that, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the Middle East. It’s an invasion by a much more powerful country run by a despot into a country that’s problematic in terms of its political history, but has totally no defence against the other country. It really is fictional.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vqhabxgqd6kdjmve5xg2awc3/bafkreihiqshoa26pdbu5hp2vxc4phs2umigh3nptog75hcifzt4nyprq7u@jpeg)

Hey Eric, great article about one of the few commentators I don't end up muting these days. I wanted to ask if you could share what those hardcore boxing Discords are? Fight talk is a bit dead here and I'm not really interested in Reddit/Twitter

ah i getcha, i guess the principle is still the same though. like the difference between "Guys, look at this" and "GUYS, LOOK AT THIS"
now that i think about, on social media the normalisation of all caps posting is probably a Trump side effect lol

Legitimate points but don't forget profiteering via paid online and paid enhancements/upgrades for old games that even Xbox delivered for free.
The console could be cheaper but I'm guessing that there will be discounts in the future (rather than never bc of selling at a loss like the PS3).

Much appreciated, I've read a few of Morrison's comics before but never got around to The Invisibles, will check it out!

I'd love to know what comic book that was. When I was a younger I thought it was a weird that the Bob Marley I always heard about was "One Love" and "Three Little Birds" but never "Zimbabwe" or "Burnin' and Lootin'"
