Marvel (somewhere in it, or above it) is scary AF for something as they trimmed all projects with a black lead. Even if the idea is "lets fold them into the main timeline as that's what we are doing", they've still lost the idea of diversity in content and putting all the eggs in one basket.

A lot of people who worked and paid into Medicare their whole lives are about to lose it entirely. Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich voted yes. Mike Johnson's already talking about round two in 2027. This isn't fiscal responsibility — it's a plan. 🚨 #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Who needs autopen if an entire branch of the government thinks they are just rubber stamps?
Brian Cardone@cardonebrian.bsky.social · yesterdayThere it is!! Sen Cornyn (R-TX) says “there’s nothing we could do to rein in the president.” If impotent Republicans can’t rein him in then the Democrats will happily do it when we take back Congress in 92 days. We will reverse the #RepublicanMedicareCuts Spineless, cowards‼️
I’m one of the 20 million Americans Republicans threw under the bus. My family’s health insurance went from $1,700/month to over $3,000/month. REPUBLICANS DID THIS‼️ #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Seems like these are opinions not usable in court. Also, coming from a company that keeps promoting "I can take everything from the internet including your trade styles or trademarked content and sell them with no liability", saying "I can access what you have, secret or not, it's your fault".

Ok, 0 days since I have a serious back pain episode. Goddammit.
Unfortunately we are far from eliminating racial bias. That’s why we cannot just say “we are equal now” and brush everything aside that supports equality and say we don’t need attention to it.

"Our so-called free press can no longer do what it used to do. That’s because it presumes an audience that shares the same factual reality most of us see. And that audience, a national citizenry that shares the same set of facts, no longer exists."

For the record, I don't think Donald Trump will vacate the White House on January 20th, 2029 voluntarily, if he was still alive by then. Last time ended in bloodshed and the traitorous Confederate flag inside the U.S. Capitol. What makes you think this time would be any different?
The great thing about physical media is, they can’t get taken offline for access and you can watch it any time and they cannot (strictly) revoke your license for no reason. The bad thing is: my sons bought me a UHD movie and I don’t have a player of the format😝
“We are gonna have this big piece of clear sticker you can print on…” That’s my interpretation reading the subject and the thumbnail 🤷♂️

Trump’s entire political career is built on a pyramid of cow poop lies.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · yesterdayOn the campaign trail, Trump promised to make in-vitro fertilization completely free. Of course, he lied. Now, Senate Republicans have unanimously killed Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s proposal to expand coverage for military service members and their families. So much for being the “pro-family” party.

Cosmic Marvel@dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 2d agoAndrew Garfield says he would only return for a new ‘SPIDER-MAN’ film if the idea is “completely unconventional.” “I would want it to be just completely unexpected, like a genre of Spider-Man that you’ve never seen before ... Maybe like a road trip movie.” (via theplaylist.net/andrew-garfi...)
