i am begging people to not see a trope and go "this movie supports this thing implicitly" and instead ask themselves, what is this being used for? god.

We've heard from former contributors that their @certifiedforgotten.com essays have been picked up as home video booklets, and now one of our essays has been turned into a novelization. Sleep on us at your own peril.

From an essay @certifiedforgotten.com to this... who woulda thunk it. (And thanks!)

I am so exhausted

More good news for Michigan — Donavan McKinney beats out AIPAC-backed incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar in MI-13 www.huffpost.com/entry/donava...

Progressive Challenger Donavan McKinney Defeats Shri Thanedar In Michigan Primary

McKinney’s win is another victory for the progressive insurgency toppling incumbent Democratic lawmakers.

The democratic establishment working big time to make it look like only white people with degrees are leftists. As if Bayard Rustin, James Baldwin, Huey P. Newton, Jesús Colón or José Carlos Mariátegui didn't exist. Much of socialist activism In the US was built in and through our communities.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

when i see shit like this i'm like hell yeah i'm gonna give that company my money and tell others to give that company some money.

We are close to Football season! If you're in games (pr/media/dev) and want to talk sports, I started a Discord! We have channels for a bunch or sports and the vibe is, well, Ball Knowers! Of any variety! Just DM me!

Couple time has started to just be looking at our depth chart and recruiting rosters in CFB lol

IDK if its the Texan in me, but I think old man Kyle Chandler is just really really hot

Having a senior dog is finding something you would usually reprimand her for but she is asleep in her bed and it would be mean to wake her up

What's also so interesting is that I already had wanted to write a piece on how #AvatarLegends is against ethnonationalism, and then the film came out with that VERY EXPLICIT message and it worked out so well lol. Please read and share!

I absolutely LOVED #AvatarAangTheLastAirbender, not only for this amazing story with the Gaang, but for its incredibly pertinent and timely message against ethnonationalism. My latest for @butwhytho.net: #AvatarTheLastAirbender #AvatarLegends #ATLA butwhytho.net/2026/08/avat...

You definitely shouldn't point a green laser pointer at them to disable them or spray your license plate with Rustoleum 214944 reflective coating to avoid bring spied on. No idea if those work, but you definitely shouldn't try it.

chat can anyone verify that every single Flock camera has about 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold

Love this reading of a heartfelt movie!

You should also read a piece before commenting, given that he lays out exactly why this matters to him and when you read it you can tell he has read many many many comics.

Many of the quotes posts to my latest piece are highly presumptive of its content and even of me, going as far to accuse me of never having consumed a single #SpiderMan story (I've literally read and watched hundreds). It's sad they make these judgments without reading tbqh, but I hope you will. 🙏🏽

Seeing responses to one of our site's critiques of the MCU and I am reminded just why I stopped engaging with Marvel brain rot fans and the franchise as a whole.

I am reviewing far fewer things now, but I did get to cover Ride or Die, which isn't a "great" show, but I think Hannah Waddingham deserves every single flower in your garden. She did all her own stunts, and it's great to see a woman in her 50s being cast in an action role <3 👇🏽👇🏽

Ride or Die Season 1 Review: Hannah Waddingham Takes The Spotlight in this Prime Video Original

Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer's Ride or Die is an action comedy series that throws expectations out of the window.

With #SpiderManBrandNewDay, it's now clear that Marvel Studios has no idea how to tell a compelling Peter Parker story. It's a solid MCU movie, but it's not a #SpiderMan film, not truly, and I doubt they will ever do him justice. My latest for @butwhytho.net butwhytho.net/2026/08/the-...

The MCU Will Never Let Spider-Man Shine on His Own

Spider-Man Brand New Day is not a true Spider-Man film as the MCU continues to use him to set up other, future stories.

I may have tanked my NIL budget in CFB as IU because there isn't a "Call Mark Cuban for more" button 🫠

I consistently say that I don't wanna go out but every time I do I am happy I did

I am no better than a man. Going to instant replay and yelling for my husband to come look at at either one of the best plays I have made in CFB or the CPU robbed me.
