Box office doesn't equal cultural impact. The reason this has been the consistent conversation surrounding the series for over a decade now is because the cycle keeps happening. Box office success followed by cultural indifference. Rinse and repeat.
Fire and Ash made half a billion dollars in a week and we’re still doing “Avatar has no cultural impact”? Don’t you people have homes to go to?

Endgame: And thus concludes the stories of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.

Doomsday: Hey Steve is back and Dr. Doom is probably going to be some alternate universe Tony Stark because we desperately want the MCU to be as successful as it used to be.
The first teaser for “Avengers: Doomsday” is out:

Romney supported tax cuts for the rich when he ran for president and voted for Trump's tax cuts. Doubt he's suddenly changed. This just reads as him realizing MAGA's dead and him trying to worm his way to a 2028 run as the "sensible Republican".
Mitt Romney is in the New York Times saying we should tax the rich.

Fucking insane to be one of the best players in the NFL on a team that's in a solid position to win a Super Bowl, and then you do some shit like this.
On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score

Suspend him tbh

It's a far out prediction, but I feel the big four Democratic candidates in 2028 are going to be Newsom, Harris, Buttigieg, and AOC. Buttigieg will sacrifice himself to the Neolib Voltron like he did in 2020, but Harris/Newsom will be too prideful to step down, splitting the moderate vote.

Remember when Republicans wanted the lives ruined of every person who criticized Charlie Kirk after he was killed?
Ron Reiner was right to warn US about Donald Trump

Trump is fucking grotesque

It's funny getting like 20 albums deep into King Gizzard's discography and realizing I still have a third of it left to go.

I think it’s incredibly disappointing that left wing politicians in this country can't just commit to going to war with the liberal wing of the Democratic party. They're pathetically weak and their power is your's for the taking and yet you're shutting down attempts to remove worthless politicans.

I genuinely can't begin to understand how as our economy is collapsing, armed government thugs invade our cities, and the president attempts to cover up his ties to a pedophile the Dem leadership still says stuff like this and is insulted when people want them ousted.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Only just now realizing that Smiling Friends is set in Philadelphia. This whole time I've been watching this stuff take place in my city and didn't even know. Now I'm going to be scanning every frame for refences to Philly.

Ever crime drama ever: "This lifestyle will destroy you and all of your relationships as you watch all your success become ash in your mouth."

Audience: "Wow this seems like so much fun!"
"character trying to get the way of walts schemes" describes literally everyone in the show at various points! most of whom are beloved fan favorites! skyler directly kept walt out of jail for multiple seasons! why do people still argue this dumb shit!!!!!

It's just 23-24 all over again. Played an excellent season the previous year. Win a bunch the next year, but really unconvincingly. Eventually get exposed and completely fall apart until we get steamrolled in the playoffs. This Eagles team can't have two great years back to back.
November 28, 2025 at 10:15 PM
I keep turning the Eagles game off, see that they've done something good, turn it back on, and then just starting shitting the bed again.
November 28, 2025 at 10:06 PM
The Cowboys loss really did break the Eagles didn't it? It's the 49ers loss all over again. First round exit here we come.

FTR vs Brodido was fantastic, but I feel like it's counter productive to end the reign of a new team that's brought excitement to the tag division not felt in a long time to give a team their third reign.

Darby vs PAC was great, but the finish was everything wrong with Death Riders. A high octane match having all the wind taken out of its sails by the same interference finish we've seen a million times. When will Tony realize we're tired of this shit?

They need to just put Mistico's theme lyrics up on the tron for the audience to sing along in America.

I genuinely get concerned by how much short form content I consume. It's just way too easy to click on a YouTube short and scroll through them endlessly because it just feeds you content without you needing to choose or commit time to anything.

I'm curious when the breaking point for capitalism is going to be. Eventually nobody will be able to afford to be consumers anymore and where will the corporations get the money to sustain itself?

Remember when this motherfucker went on a big spiel about how Trump was nice to him in person and that meant he wasn't that bad a guy?

Retail workers are paid so abysmally little that they shouldn't be asked to do more than the absolute bare minimum of what's required. Asking a bunch of miserable underpaid people to smile nonstop is fucking evil corpo shit.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I always find it funny when writers create the most unintentionally autistic characters. Like yes I wrote this character with a special interest that others remark as obsessive, is incredibly socially awkward, and is a mess when it comes to doing a lot of normal tasks.

Been battling a degree of depression lately. When I moved out of my parents going on two years ago I thought I was opening up a new chapter of my life. Instead I feel as if my life has ended and I've been reduced to a slave to an uncaring system that wants take everything it can from me.

Mamdani proved you can have a strong focus on economic issues without abandoning our convictions on social ones. Also the pathetic lying that Medicare for All and student loan forgiveness isn't popular is so full of shit while vague ("fair share" taxes) and outdated ($15/hr isn't enough anymore) is.
i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

Unbelievably disappointed. Bernie needed to keep this shit to himself when these "concerns" about border security is what's enabled ICE to terrorize our streets.
Trump's re-election campaign is going to be running favorable quotes from ... [checks notes] ... Senator Bernie Sanders.
