This one’s going to annoy people, but: here’s a ranking of my top 55 characters in Joss Whedon’s “Buffyverse.” I’m excluding the comics, but only because, if I included the comics, it would be 54 TV characters plus a dual entry for Giles’ sexy aunts. Like putting Watchmen on your “best novels” list
It’s time for my long-awaited sequel to this thread: a ranking of 55 characters in the first hundred issues of Spider-Man, based ONLY on the first hundred issues of Spider-Man. This means that Dr. Michael Morbius, first appearing in issue 101, will not make the cut. Sorry to the Morbius-heads
Using this space as a repository for only my most indulgent, masturbatory posts. Accordingly, here are my top 70 X-Men characters based ONLY on their appearances from the Claremont era (1975 - 1991). Slightly weighted towards Claremont’s pet recurring nonpowered characters—my favorite kind of guy

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The three movies I was reminded of most during Testament of Ann Lee were The Master, Midsommar, and Yentl. Potent brew. Way better than The Brutalist

But what an ass!
I dispute the "genius" of Cormac McCarthy, I don't care if he sucked as a person, I just hate all of his books because they are badly written and the literary equivalent of crap coming from an ass.

Otherwise good list.
Adding some nuance to this conversation.

One of the most useful Google functions for when you need to find a specific quote in one of the Aubrey books, etc. Ah well! Everything will get worse forever
I don't mean to seem alarmed, but it appears Google's book search function is, just...gone.

In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear.

Look, it’s been a tough week for her. She just found out, along with the rest of us, that the pedophile she was texting was going behind her back talking to one of the world’s leading gender-affirming surgeons
whatever rowling is trying to hide it's something that would look even worse than how it looks to delete your entire yacht location history immediately after someone noticing your signoff turning up in the epstein files

It never really occurred to me that she would have a big boat. I mean it makes sense, that’s like the billionaire equivalent of owning an air fryer, but she’s just so solidly a “big house” billionaire in my brain. She has a big house in Scotland, one in Newport, her books are about big houses mostly
Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara.

What is she hiding?

REPORTER: My question is for Dr. Shephard. Was the Grink there?
[a moment of tense hesitation. Sayid flashes Jack a questioning look]
JACK: No. The Grink was absolutely not there. Next question.

Ranni: I killed my own flesh and cast off my Great Rune so that I could oppose the Greater Will and overturn the system governing reality.

Miquella: I abandoned every part of myself in the Shadowlands, including my Great Rune, as part of my plot to become a kind God.

I was genuinely shocked to see a poll after the ‘24 election showing that 96% of voters with a “very negative” perception of Joe Biden voted for Trump. Almost every single person I knew hated Biden and still voted for Harris. It made me realize how stupidly fucking marginal all these arguments are
One thing many people refuse to understand is that voting for Kamala Harris doesn’t excuse you for telling everyone she sucks and convincing others not to vote for her

Matt’s Take: I’m not entirely an anti-political violence hardliner, but I do think you’ve gotta cool it when the nonviolence people are giving a generational performance. It’s not like the alternatives right now are “firebomb a Wal-Mart” and “vote Schumer.” There’s a general strike at the Wal-Mart.
the "firebomb a Walmart" crowd are some of the most fucking annoying people on social media.

I’ve heard “Pink Pony Club” at the last three weddings I went to, and it’s really good. They also played the Hot To Go song at the third wedding, but I was in the bathroom at the time so I only heard it kind of dim and echoing. Probably also a good song but I can’t be sure

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
