I always say I have so much fun chatting with the fine media savvy folk at Media/Lit, but this was a whole other level of fun! Collaborating, competitively, to draft a list of characters with the biggest story impact was a delight. Drama! Heartbreak! Consensus! It had everything. #Xmen97 #Xmen

We are back with @lostcadence.bsky.social to reflect on X-Men '97 Season Two and rank the mutants that have made the biggest mark on this revival series so far. Sound off and let us know if we got it right! #XMen97 📺 @kris-ingersoll.bsky.social

I finally found the right episode of #HotD to be a launching pad for a discussion of #stigma #stereotypes and #disabilitystudies. The Game of Thrones universe has many extremely rich disabled portrayals, but HotD wields disability as a metaphor in problematic ways: open.substack.com/pub/serially...

On Disability as a Metaphor for Villainy - or, while I could actually review this episode, why don't we almost exclusively discuss Aegon, Sunfyre, and Disability Studies instead?

i believe that the the entire "binge watch" model of releasing television series is based on a faulty premise, and that faulty premise has significantly devaluated television as an art form. stick with me on this one...

Ahead of S2, I stand by the idea that #Xmen97 is one of the most thought-provoking shows in recent memory. It was an absolute delight to discuss S1 with the folks at Meda/Lit - from the silliness of an X-Men Roadtrip Character Draft to the seriousness of Mutant Genocide tied to real-world politics!

The FCC demanding early renewal hearings for 8 stations (all owned by ABC) over late night jokes is by far the most extreme instance of government overreach & attempt of censorship in US media history that I know of! While the actual licenses will almost certainly be renewed (it'll take years), (5/)

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that the parents have disappeared.” - Anne Frank, 13 January 1943

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
