Had the change not been made: “there is something to be said for the fact that Marvel refused to replace a man with a woman in its promotional materials, especially in light of Scarlett Johansson’s lawsuit and Disney’s tone-deaf media response.”

to be fair, Jarvis from Agent Carter did appear in Endgame.

I’m now imagining what a modern-day “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” would look like, and the cringe has a flavor.

[Minor spoilers for the movie are a-comin’.]

It’s great for the character though because he’s got such a warm, pleasant voice normally that it’s always a hilarious shock when he goes into screaming bloodlust mode.

The big thing right now is that he’s using state authority to override local authority, which is pretty standard during a crisis. But he’s doing so to prevent local authorities from enacting public health measures, for example by threatening to withhold funding from schools that require masks. It’s bizarre and…

I’m not sure how smart he is. But he is a monster for letting the virus run rampant through his state and encouraging people to die.

I mean this sincerely: it’s a deadly disease and focusing on the immediate death thing generated headlines last year, properly. Kids are, admittedly, more resilient to a lot of the death part, but we’re likely sentencing Florida’s children to decades of long term I’ll effects so pictures of Florida can look mask-free…

A lot of the endearing charm of the series’ King Shark is in large part due to Ron Funches’ voice work.

If he’s not stupid, then he’s doing all of this evil shit on purpose. I suppose if that’s preferable to you, then okay.

Case rate they’re not doing so hot, and as with everything else during the past 18 months, looking at current stats shows you where you were two weeks ago, at best.

Love this show. Love this cast. April Bowlby is a STAR. 

Legitimately told everyone I know to watch this show; it is fantastic. James Adomian’s Bane is a delight every time he speaks

Going to Yale and Harvard is no guarantee of intelligence, certainly not a lock for the type of competence it takes to run a state. At his base, DeSantis is a political hack and a bully

Governor Who’s threatening to withhold salaries and resources to school district that require masks is just extortion.  “Nice district you got there.  Be a shame if something happened to it...”

Maybe 10 - 15% of lung cancer occurs in non-smokers. They tend to be diagnosed at an earlier stage, are more likely to be eligible for less toxic, targeted therapies as opposed to chemotherapy, are more likely to benefit from just about any therapy you give them, and have fewer side effects from therapy or…

“Yes, I have lung cancer even though I’ve never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung.”

She’s an American treasure. This is unacceptable.

How is the greatest country in the world so bad at SO many things most other developed countries more or less mastered?

I applaud her stance on vaccination requirements, but this is an extremely sympathetic framing of the situation. Giving someone an ultimatum doesn’t mean the other party is threatening you.
