Rolling Stone interview with James Gunn

Question: So, to be clear, you've made a key part of the DCU going forward about a government official abusing their power by having masked thugs come in the middle of the night and expel innocent people from the planet.

Answer: [Grins.] It's just totally fiction, Brian. This is, like, something that can never happen on our planet, but that's the beauty of things like comic books - you can explore things that would never, ever happen on our world.

Apparently the actual Nobel Peace Prize winner is kinda trash as well, but at least it wasn't Trump.

(Perhaps the only thing I'd agree with Trump on is that Obama didn't deserve one either)

You theory is sound, save for the minor detail that Roldan's name is Cristian. 😂

"Who will be viewed retrospectively to have understood the challenge correctly? The one who said, 'If you come for my people, you come through me'? Or the one who pivoted to health-care subsidies?"

This @brianbeutler.bsky.social thought experiment is illuminating:

UMG responds to the dismissal:

In a statement to Billboard, a spokesman for UMG said: “From the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists and their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day. We’re pleased with the court’s dismissal and look forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake’s music and investing in his career.”

If you're in Seattle and still have Democracy Vouchers burning a hole in your pocket, Eddie is my neighbor and all around good guy. D2 could use better representation, and its just a few clicks to give him your vouchers!

linforseattle.bsky.social @linforseattle.bsky.social · 1d

If you’re a Seattle resident and haven’t used your democracy vouchers, now is the time to do so! Ballots are dropping next week and there’s only 3 and 1/2 weeks until election day. Also, some candidates have maxed out on vouchers, but our campaign hasn’t yet!

A PAC supporting Bruce Harrell has now raised more than $1 million from wealthy donors, and soon they will use it to attack me so that our city stays unaffordable. With less than a month until election day, I want to make a few things clear. #thisisyourcity
