Re: Wonder Man

Do NOT go into this show expecting the typical Marvel format. Drop that from your expectations, then you might be able to consume the project fairly.

We've hit a point where people who watch live streams all day expect their streamer of choice to speak up on every political happening or tragic event instead of doing something useful like... reaching out to their voted-in representatives or elected officials.

Anyway, oddly, there seems to be a resurgence in attention being given to the live action sentai version of Sailor Moon. I remember when that show came out, people were hating on it and calling it a cheaper, girlier version of Power Rangers/Super Sentai.

Social media making discourse around Birdo.

Guys, I don't know what you're trying to get from that character, rep wise.

The one line bio and rep around her weren't meant to be positive but rather... jokey. She has no real depth beyond that and is only used in remakes and party games.

1 too many.

People are so upset about the "Wicked" snub.

Guys... people tried to warn you ahead of time that the second part of that musical is significantly weaker than the first part, lol.

Also, I dunno how true those "Newsnation" reveals are given that it's Newsnation.

Netflix's "The FIfth Wheel"

I guess I don't understand the appeal of Kim K as an actress because how does she keep getting these starring roles, and why is this main cast made up of women who don't act + Brenda Song?

There's clearly a link between being obsessed with gossip and "hot takes" then falling into the right wing pipeline where that stuff really thrives. There's a reason that so many tabloids lean right and are used to attack so often.

*points to NYPost*

Quick note that TIktok isn't "turning into" a right wing propaganda tool. It already WAS one.

Do you know misinformation and disinformation campaigns thrived on that platform? How much gossip and lies are amplified there?

It's just more controllable now, given the ownership change.

Internet activism is so performative to the point where groups of people will target CELEBRITIES and be like:

"Oh my gosh, I cannot believe you didn't put your entire life on hold and do xyz to please me instead. The world is burning!!!!"

but will also be like:

"I love this new content from xyz!"

In other news:

It's funny. Before my pupster passed, he was rarely in my dreams.

Afterwards, he and some of my recently passed relatives have been showing up so much. It puts me in such a weird space each time.

The first time I faced the Fin Fang Foom card in the wild, I thought, "Oh... this is going to be an annoying card."

It costing 7 energy is barely a hindrance since there're so many ways to get 7+ energy compared to even a few months ago.

I think they'll lower its power from 12 for balance sake.
Marvel Snap: I've been playing it a lot recently. The latest releases/meta is very high power based. I feel like those cards will be nerfed soon for the next theme, per usual.

Disappointed that they chose to make alliance prizes less enticing. No, I don't think doing goals for custom borders is fun

There's more than enough serious accounts here going over all the tragedies and politics, so I'm choosing to continue being light.

Also, I feel like I've been in such a negative headspace for months that I don't want to wallow in... <waves hands around>

Not the full statement but enough to be relevant.

Allegedly, Kick permanently banned this dude while Twitch gave him a 7 day ban.

Twitch needs to be reorganized, starting with its leadership.

Also, another reminder for parents to pay attention to what your kids are consuming.

One of the mistakes I made on social media is following/looking into creators (etc.) of content I loved growing up.

Earthworm Jim was pretty ruined for me.
January 24, 2026 at 2:45 PM
Unfortunately, every time I see something new about Doug TenNapel, it's disappointing. He's encouraging AI usage for animation and using Earthworm Jim to do it.
January 24, 2026 at 2:44 PM
I'm incredibly frustrated and have hit a point where I just... need space from... people for a little bit.

Y'all should've just let tiktok go over the cliff. Now, it's allegedly collecting MORE data and paying creators LESS.

A lot of Democrats got in on this and now a right wing billionaire is in charge.
Thank goodness everyone spent months deciding that the Chinese were stealing our data so we could switch to good old patriotic American data stealing
According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

Really can't believe they gave "he"-man pronouns. That's wild and very, very upsetting. Etc. etc. and so on.

"The song is #1 on the iTunes chart."

Guys... the threshold to reach that isn't all that high, especially on non-release days, lol. Let's settle down.

No artist is even earning that much from itunes.

A random fan page is trying to force Utada Hikaru into the Beckham drama with an uncited quote, and that's all it took for the folks to be like, "lol, she said that? I love her."

1. Your standards are low and flip floppy. You have an allegiance to being a loser.

2. No, she did not say that, lol.
