I really liked this series, probably my favorite in years.

Bad move. Never go full dictator. Or even half dictator. Perhaps 1/64 dictator?

I’m fairly confident the ruling will get thrown out on appeal or at the very least, severely limited in such a way that it won’t amount to much. It’s clear its just pure judicial activism with no regard for the facts of the case, technology, or the law. It’s complete nonsense. There’s been cases like this in the past

This will (should, who knows with the courts now) entirely get thrown out on appeal or vastly reduced. The ruling is basically unworkable (covering every gov’t employee so thousands making it a logistical nightmare) and has fundamental misunderstanding of the technology at hand and from the looks of it, a

Of all the Twitter alternatives, I find myself rooting for Spill to takeover. Everything about them sounds great (often too good to be true is business but still). Founded by two former Twitter employees laid off by Elon who happen to be POC. Inviting members of the black and LGBTQ community and influencers first to

Spill is showing some promise but its also Invite Only right now for the same reasons as Bluesky, gotta slowly build up the base to make sure the servers can handle it

Literally my 2nd sentence starts with

I feel like whichever one opens up fully to the public first, whether its Bluesky, Spill, or whatever Meta is doing will be the one that takes over. Reading the room it seems like most everyone is ready to leave, there just hasn’t been an agreed upon landing spot yet. Wherever the large follower accounts and

I know its not that simple due to server issues and such, but man, these Twitter competitors really need drop the “invite only” stage and open everything up. Whether its Bluesky, Spill, whatever Meta is doing, feels like whoever does it first is going to be the winner.

I wonder if that’s just the deal with Narnia whether its the books or the movies. No doubt it has its fans, but just anecdotally from friends and interacting with the general public, it seems like the majority all liked “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” but their interest wains with each successive book. I

Depends. Say you’re a Jewish house painter and some ultra Evangelical says “I want my house painted blue”. You can’t refuse. You have to provide the service. But if they say “Paint my house blue and include a mural that says Convert to Christianity”, you can absolutely refuse because now it includes compelled speech.

I don’t know what the third season has in store, but so far from a narrative standpoint, I could see how one more season would be all that’s needed to wrap it up. While I’m you could extend stuff out a couple more seasons with more stand alone episodes with all the different characters and native myths they’ve touched

I’m sure you can point to all kinds of plot holes and canon conflicts in this show, but I don’t care. Give me more scenes like that Cheadle/Jackson confrontation.

That whole scene of them pitching Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers was great. Tiff forgetting Lionel was the perfect capstone.

So I see this is gonna become “I was suppose to be at the WTC on 9/11" for rich people.

So how did No Hard Feelings do? I see #4 but more context is needed. I’m hoping it does well enough just so we can break the “No one goes to see *insert non Comic Book Big Franchise movie* types of movies any more” feedback loop.

Knowhere After the Battle – The High Evolutionary is brought back to Knowhere and locked up while Kraglin recruits Adam Warlock.

You’ll find rocks. But one planet has a secret stash of space porn. Happy hunting!

Stop bodyshaming Sol.

C+ seems a little too harsh. It wasn’t excellent but it wasn’t bland or bad either. Something like a B grade feel about right. It was a compelling enough first episode that got right into things without feeling too rushed or confusing.
