Never forget: the ENTIRE PREMISE of pro wrestling is predicated on deceit. On a lie. On keeping secrets from the audience. On codes of silence & power imbalance. The further away we get from that, the better for everyone

I went to Barnes and Noble today and overheard some youth inspecting and discussing the blu-ray display, which was also in a prominent position in the store (a place they haven't been displayed in at least 5 years or so near me). Physical is cool now. If you're not doing physical, you're not cool.

Criterion's K-POP DEMON HUNTERS release is targeting a generation just discovering the wonders of collecting physical media at a time when physical media companies need it most, while also introducing their catalogue to young movie lovers. This is a genius move. Get the kids into Criterion!

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

I’ve heard barely anyone talk about the second season of X-Men ‘97 compared to the unanimous praise the first season got, and the main thing I have heard is that the What If writers came in somewhere halfway through

There really just needs to be a US based mainstream all women’s promotion atp. The indies are still cool but to have a platform where they’re paid just as highly as men *and* getting the same kind of reps/care for their booking might only exist if you plain remove men from the equation

Even if you liked Potter as a kid, ya gotta grow up and see Harry was a rich jock who became a cop, who never shared his wealth (hoarded in a bank run by antisemitic goblins) with his best friend's impoverished family, who never cared about freeing the enslaved elves, whose author is an evil monster
