I’m trying to decide if this dude is being sincere or ironic.

My wife still watches broadcast TV, otherwise I’d be oblivious to its existence as anything other than a medium for video games and streaming.

For a Marvel-specific look, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story is a great read.

I've heard a lot about this conversation since it came out, but even with all that, I still wasn't prepared for how unbelievably tone-deaf, out of touch, and fucking arrogant Ezra Klein comes off. And this is supposed to be an intellectual leader of the Democrats?

No wonder we keep losing.

Takaichi winning the LDP leadership is bad news. If she gets the PM spot, best-case scenario is she either gets mired in a corruption scandal or she proves completely incompetent and the revolving PM door spins anew.

I’m hoping we see a full-on comic booky Batcave in TBATB. With a vehicle collection that includes both comic and adapted vehicles.

More worried about what he did to those drivers.

It’s funny how over time, opinions on Batman ‘89 have cooled. People talk about The Dark Knight and The Batman (justifiably so), but damn, ‘89 still fucking slaps.

Any Democrat who wants my vote must campaign on abolishing ICE and prosecuting its agents for human rights abuses. This is disgusting.

I would love The Conjuring films so much more if they were fictional characters instead of whitewashing the Warrens’ history.

Fuuuuuuuuck. The government better roll out new subsidies since it’s still fucking sweltering.

Major Japanese power and city gas suppliers are set to raise rates in October following the end of the government's subsidy program in September.

Whoa, that’s all fascinating.

Between Newsom and Harris, the centrists are throwing their hats in the ring for 2028. Progressives need to start doing the same. If a centrist becomes the nominee, I predict 28/32 will be a repeat of 20/24 where the Democrat wins, doesn’t deal with the structural problems, and then a fascist wins.

I know a lot of fans hate this, but I thought it was an excellent reboot.

I still maintain that if the Obama administration had actually *enforced* all the laws broken by the Bush administration, we’d be in a much different place right now.

In honor of Robert Redford, wanted to share what I think is a criminally underrated film of his—Spy Game. It’s ostensibly a dual-lead with Brad Pitt (and he is good in it), but Redford carried this film. The best scenes are when Redford’s outwitting other spooks.

Cite his “civility.” I dare you.
