That also doesn't look like MacArthur or Patton at all. Just basic prompt in Gemini got me a much better MacArthur (it has more trouble with Patton)
Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 4h agoThis guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.
I promise I will never insult "The Purge, but for sex", which is one of the greatest high concept movie ideas of our time.
These guys were all crowing about a double digit win as recently as 8:30 last night and are now getting angry at news stories describing a <1% victory as "narrow"?
So, uh, a candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago is winning a landslide against a Trump endorsed candidate because of anti-Muslim prejudice against a guy who is not Muslim (and I guess probably also just regular racism). How often does a candidate who suspended their campaign win?
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 19h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
Would be very funny if the margin is less than the "I hate both of these candidates so I will vote for the lady who dropped out" protest vote.
I don't see why we have to do this. There were probably not very many Sub-Saharan Africans (or northern Europeans, or south Asians) in the 12th century BC Mediterranean, but who cares? Would the movie be better if the whole cast was of Greek ancestry? It would not! It's fine.

Buttadeus@thewanderingjew.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely amazing achievement in posting.
If I were going to go really out on a critical limb, I would say that Nolan interpreted Odysseus as the guilt-ridden creator of a giant spectacle that eventually leads to mass illiteracy because he (Nolan) is ambivalent about his status as an auteur of big tentpole pictures.
Jon Bernthal and Matt Ryan both deserve awards for being excellent at translating into cinematic form "this is the same character from those other things but the tone is totally different to fit this story" thing you see all the time in comic books.

It's kinda amazing how much more holland is Peter Parker now that he commited to "Guy from Queens" voice

Shouting "he's the bad guy, he killed Mozart!" at the screen whenever Tramell Tillman shows up in Spider-Man.
These have gotten unstuck from the stock market opening and closing.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 2d agoUpdate: No deal, back to war, Trump says.
I'm not going to be gaslit anymore about whether this guy is an anti-Semite. Everyone who defends him is also incredibly suspect.
Joe Stieb@joestieb.bsky.social · 3d agoThis guy has anti-Semitic brain worms (among many other species of brain worm) and he needs to be treated as radioactive by every Democrat.
Alright friends, I touched briefly on this a couple of weeks ago but it's finally time to answer the burning question on everybody's mind. Which members of X-Force can cook or not? To keep the thread somewhat manageable this will only cover the first 50 or so issues of X-Force volume 1 🧵

A fun thing you learn when looking up profiles of various comic book characters is that all Marvel UK supervillains have names like "Bronwen Gryffn", no code names, and look like this.
Playboy magazine was sort of Twitter before Twitter because you went there to jack off and had to be subjected to a think piece about how Albert Speer was a tragic figure in between pictures of coochie
Kraven the Hunter was right that his talents demand he hunt the most dangerous game of all -- Spider-Man.
Doctor Doom is actually right that he would have reigned supreme if not for the Cursed Richards! Also that Susan Storm Richards is a remarkable woman who would be a worthy consort for Victor von Doom if she were not so attached to the Cursed Richards!
