In the OP’s (and my) defense, I can’t think of any words starting with “Y” that have a long “I” sound at the beginning. In those contexts it’s generally a consonant.

Look, I love LeBron. He’s working at a level that makes me wish I could do literally anything in life 25% as well as he plays basketball. That said, the Warriors are not the Celtics, and the Cavs (excepting LeBron) are basically the adult version of the scrappy underdog kids from an Air Bud sequel. Except that Air Bud…

I kinda like the Warriors, so I don’t necessarily want the Cavs to win, but after Lebron’s masterful “fuck you” to that towel-seeking MAGA hat motherfucker, I would love to see his response to a White House invitation. Like, he doesn’t say anything, shows up to DC during the team visit, then goes to hang out with the…

Well, Brooklyn 99 got saved, The Good Place is still around, and they cancelled the Roseanne reboot...

I saw some sign posted from a rally once that just said “Make Racists Afraid Again,” and I’m onboard with that. I tend to believe that racists are not possessed of significant moral and/or physical courage, they are only willing to announce their feelings when they perceive there is some power behind them, be it a…

People can bitch about not “resorting to violence” but part of making the world a nicer place for marginalized people is shutting up racists and other assholes. Punching Richard Spencer in the face, tossing drinks at Tomi Lahren, these aren’t just things that give me a warm fuzzy, they’re laudable actions that…

I quibble with your wording (there are multiple amendments that all American citizens should be willing to die to preserve) but I agree with the spirit.

There can be no successful armed insurrection in the USA without the support of the military, at which point civilian ownership of weaponry becomes moot.

Is that what their doing with the other hand?

Before today I would have thought so, but the evidence is in favor of there being at least one more person who agrees. Tragically misguided as that is.

Nick Fury is actually an interesting case. Marvel had a secondary, separate comic “universe” called Ultimates, that was basically a 21st century attempt to re-create a lot of the heroes in a more modern context. The movies draw a lot from this universe. The X-Men movies costuming, a lot of the style in the MCU films,…

Why would you hope for that?

Is it Tuesday again already?

It also speaks to the notion that positions of power in the US have become nigh aristocratic in the way they view themselves. The chief’s title alone demands respect, regardless of how that title’s possessor behaves. Proof that the goal of conservatives is to make America feudal Europe again.

You’re nailing this. The solution, as always, is to skew toward an older, politically disinterested audience who will definitely keep your company relevant in the years to come.

Wanda’s gone, but I can’t help but think that Vision’s corpse being left extant and in Wakanda is significant.

I mean, Groot’s coming back too. He’s way cheaper to cast than literally every other character.

If I could have entrance music in real life, it would be Ante Up.

I actually don’t know that he “actively recruited” kids. As a private Catholic high School, wouldn’t the administration be responsible for that anyway? When they ask “Who’s coming out for football?” the coach isn’t in a position to respond with a list of black players he recruited with the promise of scholarships and…

Primum non nocere my ass
