I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Direct government funding of art & artists is vital moral insulation - any so-called liberal government that doesn’t do it is setting itself up to be destroyed

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.

New Projector review! Dwayne Johnson makes a dramatic comeback of his own in a career-best performance as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine, about a man learning from defeat, but this biopic is far too indebted to the documentary that inspired it. youtu.be/i5vYFwfz-uo

I love Dan Mora's design for Mark Waid's World' Finest take on Dick Grayson's "Robin, the Teen Wonder" era so much that I wish it existed when BTAS happened so we could've completely dodged the "Tim Drake Stolen Valor" era

This is not a joke: I firmly believe that if the inflatable costumes and dancing keep increasing, we will win.

They're perfectly fine with all the legit shady business practices Hasbro tried with D&D but the LGBT+ representation is what "ruined the game."

It's just open ugly bigotry with these chuds.

Hey, look, losers with so little imagination that they think a picture someone shows them is the ONLY way they can play a game!
How sad. None of the ttRPG players I have hung out with (and that's at least hundreds, maybe thousands) seem to have that problem.

Deeply embarrassing for the right how much they need the left to exist but the left would quite happily consign the right entirely to the dustbin of history.
