I have notable complaints about the Peacemaker finale for sure but hearing a lot of"Nothing happened" and "How can this possibly lead into Man of Tomorrow?" is very silly when:

A. A bunch of stuff happened.

B. There's some pretty clear ways it can.

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Also, since they showed the pilot at SDCC, and the entire season has aired since, if they really want to show a whole episode, the finale would be best methinks.

Didn't read the novellas, but this looks pretty promising. I like having a new Game of Thrones show that is focused on one or two character's journey vs. another giant ensemble. Looks to have a genuinely different vibe to make it distinct.

Just saw #TronAres and… I dug it?? Was not expecting that! It looks great, it sounds great, and then it breaks from Tron movie history by actually being pretty engaging and entertaining.

Pretty sure this was another random ass movie I saw at a test screening

Matinee Mode @matineemode.bsky.social · 1d

At the time Allen & Midler, the reigning Queen of Touchstone, playing a married couple might’ve seemed like a hit comedy recipe but Paul Mazursky’s talky play on Scenes from a Marriage never fully works. Watching a film that mostly takes place in a shopping mall is a welcomed nostalgia trip though.

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon — saying they’re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.

This all starts with Google crashing site traffic across the web regularly.

The system is broken. Massive corporations siphon away the traffic that allows us to make money, while leaving us with little option but to write what is basically paid advertorial (without Amazon buying ad space).

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It's the Anakin Padme meme. Anakin is now a smoke detector saying I don't have enough energy to tell u if there's a fire. Padme happily asks So u don't have enough energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years? Then she looks worried, and asks again: U don't have the energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years, right? To which Anakin the smoke detector replies BEEP

You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

I believe Felicity was the only WB drama Pilot Presentation they liked so much as is they just had them shoot a few extra scenes to make it 44 minutes vs reshooting it all like they normally did

These were just before my time but I did get an old Spider-Man one when I was little at a Good Will. One of his legs had broken off but was still there, flopping around beneath the knee inside his full body costume.
