I can't speak with certainty to the women's costumes like Black Widow or Captain Marvel, but I wouldn't be surprised to know they did either.

Genuinely the only male one I can think of that I don't think has any type of padded or sculpted enhancements is maybe Punisher and Luke Cage. That's it.

All three Spidey's? Muscle padding
DCEU Batman/Superman/Aquaman/Shazam? Muscle padding
Captain America? Muscle padding

It's not a matter of how fit the actor gets. These costumes by their very nature tend to flatten you out. To get the exaggerated figures, most are at least padding chest/shoulders

The number of times I've seen people try to claim that Henry Cavill didn't wear a muscle suit as Superman is astounding. I can tell you with 100% certainty you are incorrect. I have handled said muscle suit. There's almost no Superhero characters whose costumes don't.

Binging campaign 2 of Critical Role, and I'm at February of 2020. Watching them inch closer and closer to Covid lockdown is giving me anxiety.

My therapist canceled my session on the day I got my new job offer, so like what's the point if I can't get a gold star.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.

Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence

The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

I'm really proud of my Percy and Caleb, and have finally reached a point where I'm happy with how I look in both of them. Now I just need to figure out getting there with Vax.

There needs to be an immediate bipartisan Congressional investigation of how much of current U.S. government policy and how many current U.S. government actions are being determined and/or executed by artificial intelligence.

Oh my God... it was all ChatGPT.

They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves.

It almost feels... impeachable?

How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office?

Trump’s new tariff math looks a lot like ChatGPT’s

ChatGPT may be the White House’s latest economic advisor.

The fraud who perpetrated that original claim lost his license for lying in his study, but because THAT wasn't enough to undo his LIES, a comprehensive meta study of more than 1M children was done and it found NO LINK. We have wasted enough tax dollars debunking a known lie. STOP IT.

Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?
