Collins made her bed and she knows it. A meaningless no vote where it doesn’t matter doesn’t hold the same weight as it did when the President was on the line.

Moderates have seen her allegiance and whether or not they agree with it is the only question.  She’ll vote across party lines when it does not substantially…

The warped humor was often a big draw to these games. It’s not like games like Space Quest or Beneath a Steel Sky or even The Longest Journey didn’t realize their puzzles were absurd - they were a big part of the hilarity.

Props to the screenwriter on that one.  First time I saw it, did not expect it.  Should have.  Didn’t.

Yea - I love Nolan.  But I did get mad when suddenly it switched from Chi to NY.  Fake one or fake the other.  Don’t fake both.

The problem is the style is so exaggerated, I’m not even sure you could make it realistic since you wouldn’t even see a reasonable facsimile in real life.

Thing is you can view this as a continuation of what is now a fairly ingrained woman-power=queer trope though. We’ve got this, Steven Universe, Xena, Batwoman, Wonder Woman DCEU eludes to it, Valkerie, CWVerse, etc.

Eh, I’m skeptical. The problem with Kylo Ren and Catra comparisons is we’re shown much more of Catra being something other than a raging man-child. A lot of care was put into that character, where as Kylo (as many noted at the time) came off as a fairly one-note strawman of toxic masculinity.

If the Democrats can actually barnstorm an election I think “what he’ll veto” is a far smaller list than people think.

The purpose most moderates have, ISN’T to remove progressive policy items. It’s to field candidates in purple areas that have a chance of winning. You simply accept that you stand a better chance of…

That is certainly one way to look at the Republican party waiting for Bernie to lose steam before having their political apparatus take over. Last Sunday was pretty much a bot extraveganza and the Reade allegations were everywhere.

Can’t the comics industry move towards a more Manga-ish/bookish model? People keep asking why but the fundamental problem is the same for a lot of industries.

It’s not over.  But people who are going to call themselves Progressives are directly at a decision point.  I’m growing tired  (although I won’t stop) of supporting those causes while they insist on shooting themselves in their own feet and parrot RNC strategies out loud and without irony.  You either care about these…

In this day and age I tend to always go with a little of column A and a little of column B. Yes, there are authentic Kamala voters like authentic Sanders voters who have a seething hatred for Biden. However, whatever number actually exists of them, they are greatly amplified by external actors that see liberal…

Get ready for the think pieces if Trump gets reelected at how this is actually the fault of Biden, moderates, and white women.

Maybe for Democrats. The Republicans elected 2 Bush’s and neither of them are particularly interesting. Maybe I should amend Democrats to liberal/progressives right now since there seems to be some sort of existential crisis going on right now with the former moniker.

Like parties, it just requires rethinking. I rig up a camera and play remotely with people but there’s a trick to that.

That’s rather disingenuous as the primary reason he purchased the rights was so the distributor he just sold it to wouldn’t lose money having acquired it just before the news broke and it was very likely they couldn’t find buyers.

Yep. I suspect Warren’s problem more than anything is Sanders. I don’t mean that as a dig on Sanders, but a lot of her positions are his positions only she’s put more thought into them. Sanders complained last cycle because he had no brand and eventually built one.

It did for me too - although I was a huge fan of Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero, and Jericho from their earlier days. Seeing it happen to such “working class” wrestlers who were just getting to the point they were making it - I can’t say why but I just stopped being interested after that.

I don’t know why I’m somewhat terrified of the Benoit documentary. I’m like others where I never really watched wrestling after it and everything I’d heard about Chris was he was a gentle man and sweet but intense. I feel like I can’t view his crime without bringing up the CTE. But at the same time, I have no idea how…

The issue is always about what is earned vs. what isn’t. Every start of a story you can set the pieces any way you want to - it’s the writers choice.
