I hope the readers here take note of the surnames and ancestry of the road workers who lost their lives here. Almost a year ago to the day (March 23, 2023) 6 workers were killed on another part of the 695 beltway when a car crashed through a work zone, and most of those workers were also from central America,…

I love an artist with something to say. As Indigenous Reconciliation - especially here in Canada - becomes societally critical, the idea of Indigeneity overwhelming capitalism is a powerful thought. 

When your rage and hate become performative, you HAVE to act out - it’s part of the gig.

Like, how hard is it to just not say transphobic things at your workplace? When your whole job is speaking words other people write for you... maybe you don’t need to say anything else? How does it even come up on the set of the Mandalorian?

Rumors at the time were that she was saying transphobic things on set, around Pedro, and even after he tried to educate her she just doubled down.

It must have been such hell being unable to defend his sister because she wasn’t ready to come out publicly.

The “boop/beep” thing was a direct insult to Pedro Pascal, after he put pronouns in his bio as a show of support for his trans sister. Publicly attacking the star of the hugely successful show you somehow landed a part on is exactly the kind of stupid-as-shit career move that leads directly to working for Ben Shapiro.

Yeah I remember that being really the biggest part of all of it. She was super anti-trans and I think Pascal even tried to talk her rationally about it at first, but after repeatedly going down that hole, he definitely went to the Disney powers and said to tell her to get the fuck out

I remember watching this movie at Doc Films, the theater on the University of Chicago campus. The studios would give lower-quality prints to those theaters, because they weren’t exactly major profit centers compared with actual movie theaters.

Mythbusters says it’s not a myth:

No one is asking the critical question — which hotel’s key card?

I’ll never get over the sheer incelity of the guy who was calling Aloy “hideous” and when his dumb bitch buddies agreed, he got into detail, and part of it was that she’s so realistically rendered you can see the fine hairs on her face, and he, god fucking help us, though this was a sign of a “progressive agenda”…

Likely the same incels who scramed about Tifa’s tits not being big enough in Remake.

dr strange this is no time to be in the kotaku comment section the avengers need you to open a portal

Aren’t these reactionary nerds tired of this? Isn’t this life exhausting? This can’t be fun, can it? Just a constant state of anxiety and paranoia in a hobby that’s supposed to be relaxing. This just seems like such an awful, shitty way to live. I mean....yes, if you’re a streamer/content creator, the anti-woke…

One image showed several pictures of the protagonist Eve from Korean developer ShiftUp’s upcoming action game Stellar Blade, juxtaposed against female characters from Overwatch, Forspoken, and Life is Strange. “Embrace tradition. Reject modernity” is emblazoned on the collage.

This change is important, because she’s the only one who sees Paul’s authoritarian streak as dangerous, and enough people missed the point of Herbert’s takedown of figures like Paul in Dune that he wrote Messiah specifically for that purpose.

Yeah, Alia is clearly impossible in live action. She’d have to be a cartoon.

There was no way to do Alia and it not be ridiculous.  It was my biggest fear going into this as I was like “Oh Christ.. I hope they don’t have a CGI toddler or something.” and thank fucking god they didn’t.  All things considered, I think it was handled as well as it could have been.
