I review and edit independent comics! Check out my YouTube channel!

Somebody please explain how the same company that produced "Daredevil" ssns 1 & 2, "Jessica Jones" ssn 1, and "Luke Cage" ssn 1 also produced "Iron Fist" ssn 1. It's like there was a board meeting where the higher-ups decided, "At least one of our shows needs to suck, just for contrast's sake."

I wonder how many #Catholics who think, "The Pope said it, therefore it must be true," even know that Pope Gregory the Great wrote it would be stupid beyond belief to invest the security of the faith in a single human being because if that guy ever got something wrong, the whole faith would stumble.

This is not hard: She sees "British" as her nationality and "Asian" as her ethnicity. She is not ethnically English. Similarly, I myself was born in America. So were my parents & grandparents. But we're not "Native American" ethnically. We're ethnically Polish, and we're American by nationality.

Suella Braverman finds it important to define herself as British Asian, but definitely NOT English. Born & educated here, speaking fluent English, holding down a position as an MP, & saying she loves England, apparently isn't enough.

I saw a clip of people protest-marching over #NolanWells' death and shouting, "No water in his lungs!" as if that means he didn't drown, and all it would've taken for them to stay home & enjoy the day is to do a search on, "Could you have drowned even if you were found with no water in your lungs?"

Me on the phone with a thickly-accented customer support rep: CS: "Please hold while I transfer you to the extension of the person working your issue." Me: "Could I have that person's name, please, in case I get disconnected?" CS: "Of course! It's [unintelligible]." Me: "Sorry, it's what?"

Same, kinda. (Banned but kept an eye on 3 accounts.) Kept getting time-sunk by Trending Topics and Breaking News. On another site I realized 98% of my feed was right-wing slop. Cut my feed from 2000 to 30 accounts. Left-wing slop abounds here, though. Learning to block liberally. Life's too short.

Also finally deleted Twitter. I was holding on to it to follow the few accounts that I do enjoyed but my feed was just pretty much 90% right wing slop. Truly the worst place.

Honestly, that's why I gave up on it: I was too distracted counting all the well-known character actors who obviously wanted badly to be in a Spielberg movie. From the first moment, with Lukas Haas and Dane Dehaan as throwaway Union soldiers, it felt less a historical drama than an actors' showcase.

I gotta watch Spielberg's Lincoln again sometime, if just for the fact that its The Avengers of character actors.
