I also feel like I’m learning a lot of inside-gay stuff that I wouldn’t normally.

It would be nice if this article knew what The Game actually is: it’s a revival of the CW football-adjacent comedy(/drama?), not a game show.

In fact, the right to not distribute something is a part of copyright. If I’m an artist ashamed of my barely-released early work, I’m not obliged to re-release it to keep copyright if I’d rather bury it.

To my mind, Anson Mount is playing Kirk and calling himself Christopher Pike.  Hair aside, if they told you that was JTK you’d 100% buy it.

Well, yes.

That mean NOT-cis.  Geez.

The lesbian contingent of TERFS would disagree.

I think it’s not quite that; they’re angry that being not-trans should have its own word, because it’s the God-given right of not-trans people to NOT have a label, because “no label” means “normal”. It’s called the distinction between “marked” and “unmarked”. Note for instance how we nowadays disfavor words like…

Well then, you modify your BEST(tm) metric to incorporate that.

GSnyder’s posting addresses that: half the time is the “there is none” case, and then you’ve lost.

Is he not being paid enough by Spotify to tell us his best stories? 

“the studio’s current slump, which kicked off in earnest when bosses at Disney started shoveling the company’s movies on to streaming services as blatant Disney+ bait during the pandemic lockdowns”

That and the Kraken thing whose trailer I’ve seen a couple of times definitely look like “ChapGPT, summarize a Pixar/generic kids’ animated movie”

My new theory having just seen it is that they gave up at some early point on avoiding Keaton spoilers, simply in that if you don’t know it’s him, I don’t think you’d recognize him in his first few shots under all the facial hair.

I was visiting my mother a few weeks ago and we stumbled onto the end of Man of Steel; she watched it for a few minutes and was vocally angry at it, and me for “making her watch it”, for the rest of my visit.

Having just seen it, the answer has a simple metaphorical description and I admire how it cuts through the Gordian knot that always comes up in this kind of story where you feel like you have to explain how the small change you made caused all the entertaining changes when you get back to your own timeline.  In the…

No, because it’s the evaporation of the gel that has the effect.
