Every day it's the scene in BATMAN RETURNS when Batman rigs the speakers to play the Penguin's previously recorded hateful nonsense that outs the Penguin as evil, and every day the Penguin keeps getting to be mayor

Can anyone foster or adopt a sweet stray cat in SoCal?

Kayla Arenas @fidget.bsky.social · 24d

Does anyone here think they would want to adopt or foster a sweet baby? I can help coordinate vaccines and neuter.

Found out one of the cats I have been feeding is NOT feral

He is so very sweet and will chrip and cry sadly at my door when I go back in.

I have no room to even quarantine rn :(

The Season 3 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has some very well-done moments, and also some reminders of what hasn’t worked in this season at all.

Editors, do yourself a favor and hire Amelia.

Guess it’s my turn to say that I was laid off at IGN. Real crummy birthday gift, to be honest, but my union fought like hell on my behalf and people came out of the woodwork to support me. Couldn’t be more moved by my colleagues & friends, and am devastated to lose a job and community I love. (1/3)

This feature came about because I revealed my Freaky Friday lore knowledge when @scottcollura.bsky.social was guesting on @weenjoypodcast.bsky.social, so thanks for that, Scott!

And Justice for A Billion for Boris!!!

I loved the original Freaky Friday book trilogy as a kid, so it was fun doing this look back at the history of the series and how Freakier Friday is the seventh movie based on them, even as Disney keeps ignoring the book sequels and only concentrates on the first one

It's all still too fresh, and there's a lot of processing to do, but what's certain is that I'm glad my two years at IGN ended with a review of the new Naked Gun.

My extensive article about the little-seen Chris Columbus rewrite of Fantastic Four from late-1996. The script even has a joke about Johnny Storm burning down the World Trade Center!

Long before Marvel's First Family joined the MCU, Harry Potter director Chris Columbus almost made a Fantastic Four movie.
