While all I *want* to do is talk about comic books and movies there are horrible racists, bigots, fascists, grifting, abusive, lying and corrupt people out there and ignoring their actions is enabling them.

The Death Star board room scene is low key the funniest scene in cinematic history. It’s a work meeting with an evil samurai wizard everyone else finds mildly annoying and when his manager tells him to stop killing a coworker with his magicka, he has to listen.

And it's not just dynamic pricing in regards to 'lots of people want to buy this, make the price go up.'
They are actively using AIs to figure out what is the most money you, YOU SPECIFICALLY, are willing to spend on an item. So they can get the most out of you

(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

How many of the media outlets eulogizing Rev. Jesse Jackson today spent decades trying to undermine his work & turn him into a punchline?

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

I'm tired of the lesser evil. These hoes wanna live in Omelas or something? Can't we just have a good candidate who doesn't have a forsaken basement child to prop them up? I just want someone who doesn't chum up to types like Charlie Kirkn't, and wants people to be able to live somewhere.

Every Epstein reveal is worse and more horrific than the one before. Every single one of these freaks need to be hunted down and tossed in prison forever.
