Sometimes I remember that Marvel was so desperate to kill any hint of queerness around Captain America and Bucky in the MCU, they sent him back in time to marry Peggy AFTER he was shown to have a thing with her niece. Like… Steve is canonically that creepy ass uncle.

Everyone complaining about why SC and “there are blacks other places” miss the fact that SC has been a far better predictor of the winner for Democratic Primary due entirely to the Black population there.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Democrats approve a 2028 presidential primary calendar that leads off with South Carolina, followed by Nevada.

I know I'm the problem but seriously, why is Marvel allergic to a British Mister Sinister? Man is from London. He got his PhD from Oxford. He legitimately is Victorian. Even his name is so English. Like... Why are they always making him some random American?

Were they not already on sale? I remember them going on sale previously. I bought one.

Disney has now put all Avengers: Doomsday tickets on sale three months in advance.

I think there was a murder-suicide. So maybe that. Mostly like two teachers dying of cancer though.

So because he wasn't allowed to put his name on it, he's shutting it down until he leaves office/dies/goes to prison. Whatever happens first.

Raven Darkholme is an ain't shit mother and Marvel needs to stop trying to retcon.

Oh CAP been on the down slide internally for damn near two years.

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 4d ago

CAP, which published the anti Islamophobia report Fear INC, which I co-authored, has its president now actively promoting the biggest proponent of Islamophobia. The Center urgently needs to clarify whether there has been a change in position and policy. Do you all approve of this?

Please do not reinforce the bullshit moral panic behind the rating system by adding to it. It’s bad enough that a woman enjoying sex is R worthy but violence and light gore can be PG-13.

Today on “Working From Home Is A Never Ending Nightmare of Having Nothing To Watch”: I’m going to watch Parks and Rec for the first time ever since the friction in my life that prevented me from that is gone and in its place is a void that not even 15 seasons of ER could fill.

It’s never not amazing watching Democrats prove they are willing to fight, so long as that person is to the left of them and/or wants to improve things. So violently committed to the status quo.

"While Mamdani and progressives are celebrating their effective shivving of more establishment lawmakers and pushing the Democrats further to the left, they’d be wise to learn from very recent history that this sort of radical migration doesn’t bode well for the party — or the country." - S.E. Cupp

At this point I accept Matt Reeves is gonna Matt Reeves.

Question for the New Yorkers on here: Does Halal Guys (the actual brand not just the random halal cart dudes) do chicken wings up there now? Excuse they do chicken wings in the DMV now.

One of these things is definitely not like the others (because Majors cost Marvel, not the other way around) but it’s feels like the rest stem from the Kang issue since it’s not just the “Black” projects that have been cast aside so much as it’s their attempts to diversify have been scrapped.

This is a first. Just how toxic Twitter has become to warrant this.

I have seen the new Spider-Man movie and have to say Kevin Feige, if I ever see you, I am hunting you down for sport.

I realized yesterday I am growing someone's Italian grandmother's dream garden because I have tomatoes (two varieties), basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, bell peppers and squash happening. My garden is so nonna coded, I could do an Italian pop up in my backyard.

I'm a chef. Where? Don't know. Could be in a famous restaurant. Could be in my own. Could be on a military ship. But there's a strange consistency across both sides of my family toward cooking.

Apparently the world of French music in the 2010s was so small that I can now say I've met the man responsible for the musical programming of the Paris Olympic Ceremonies and got complimented by Natalie Portman's new baby daddy. So that's weird.

It helps to have ridiculous benchmarks. I love Greek myths and the sort, but I went into this movie ready to compare it to one thing: the Wishbone version of the Odyssey. I don’t care if it’s accurate. I care if Matt Damon can out act a dog (no).

Ethan Kocak@ethankocak.com · 3w ago

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.
