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
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
I see you, son. I gotta admit I haven’t been fair to you. I know you’re not a bruiser like your old jarhead dad. But you’re a warrior for this family in your own way. That sports betting app? That’s where you fight for our family. And that makes me so goddamn proud. Never stop fighting for us, son.

[vaguely fangy guido voice] Just ‘cause you’re a virgin, you tink that means anything? All creatures unda Eywa start as virgins. But tru Her grace, we change. When I came to Pandora I was a sky person wit’ no working legs or penis. Now I bang my wife Neytiri. You can change too. You can looksmaxx!

Kids want to see their fantasy wish-fulfillment protagonist climbing up into a crow’s nest, sleeping in a hammock, spotting a dark shape on the horizon, swabbing decks, pumping bilges etc. You don’t even really have to get all that technical with it

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.

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

Very little boat stuff in Potter. A couple Charon riffs with tiny creepy little boats, and I think one of the rival schools had one during the tournament arc, and that’s it. There should have been one like “Harry Potter and the Trickster T’gallants’l” where he takes a gap year and he’s on a boat

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.

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

At my (bankrupt, American) mall, stores keep popping up called like “The Trend Zone” that sell, like, Dubai chocolate and labubus and almost nothing else. One had a big sign out front that said “AS SEEN ON TIKTOK.” Then they close in two months. Like a parody of what we have now instead of culture
