I feel like this theory also explains why the “Trump is weird” approach that Walz hit on last year was so effective and why everything fell apart once the consultants got involved and told him to act normal.

Ultimate Spider-Man #22-24 is "a rollercoaster of a story," Wil says. "The last three issues are this huge story where the Sinister Six, the surprise allies the Spider-Man have made along the way... it's an insane story."

"When they told us they were doing this, I don't think many people believed it, including Jon [Hickman]," says Deniz. "We're going out on a high note. This is really something to be excited about. We're doing the best work we've ever done."

Buckley says Hickman was impressed when Dan Buckley told him that the Ultimate line would end after the 2 year story that Hickman pitched. "You'll be able to digest it, and pass it on..."

it's true that TRON: ARES made $352 morbillion dollars in the film's domestic opening day, more than MORBIUS which only made 1.5 morbillion dollars.

a meme of Jared Leto as Morbius, who is a vampire with a beard and vampire teeth, has been edited to be wearing the high-tech, black outfit with red, highlighted lines on it that Jared Leto wears in Tron: Ares. Leto is placed in front of a chart that says "Highest-grossing films" Tron: Ares (2025) as at the top of the chart, with a "Worldwide gross" of $352,922,847,246,203. Avengers: Endgame (2019) is in second with $2,797,501,328. Titanic (1997) is in third with $2,187,425,379. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) is in fourth with $2,068,223,624. Avengers: Infinity War (2018) is in fifth with $2,048,359,754.
the text in below Jared Leto says "TRON: ARES. PG-13 2025, Adventure/Capekino, 4h 56m. 203% TOMATOMETER 800,000,000 Reviews. 142% AUDIENCE SCORE. 1,000,000,000,000+ Verified Reviews."

Speaker Mike Johnson just extended the House recess through next week, which means members of Congress will keep getting paid for doing nothing while essential staff like members of the military will work without getting paychecks during the shutdown.
That's Republican leadership.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.
