Either a) I have this mutation, or b) I’ve somehow convinced myself that 6 hours of sleep a night is wholly adequate and it’s become so ingrained in me, physically, that I’m unable to function otherwise and will some day just reap the horrible effects of what I’ve been putting my body through the past couple of…

Whatever it takes, my dude.

I’ve been thinking about this possibility, and here’s my question: How would that even go? Our philosophical division isn’t easy to geographically parse. It’s not like a north/south-type situation. It’s basically urban vs. rural, with that dynamic playing out in just about every state - your pockets of blue on the…

It’s not binary. People aren’t saying the state of not being like things are today is some blissful utopia, as if that’s the only option other than the tire fire we’re living in right now. 

Oh, fuck off.

“The idea that McConnell was going to be sweet and nice as long as no one said anything about Gorsuch is a fantasy that only the Beltway - and probably Lorne Michaels - believes. “

Oh, this looks really good. I just hope we’re done with the ninjas for a bit. I feel like pretty much everything on the show went downhill once Fisk faded into the background and the ninjas started showing up. 

I’m not quite sure why the two are mutually exclusive. I’m not looking for a detailed breakdown from this article. All I’m looking for is a little bit of context from a writer who doesn’t position it as if character iterations that have been around for years (and, in some cases, decades), are totally out of left…

I agree! Which is why a write-up of it on a site like the AV Club can and should, in my opinion, provide that context. That’s their role in this whole thing. And while I know this probably marks me as a bit of an old man yelling at cloud, I can’t help feeling the AV Club from back in the day would have covered those…

Things can change if the overall context changes, especially if Pelosi is getting amplified pressure from within her own caucus. 

I think this is underrating the alley-oop. I mean, there are alley-oops, and then there are moments like DeAndre Jordan eating Brandon Knight in 2013.

Agreed. Which is why an article like this should provide context instead of just being like, “Gwen Stacy plays the drums? There’s a younger Spider-Man of a different ethnicity? What with the who, now?”

Sorry - I misplaced my big, red, “Reset the Internet button.”  

Organize fundraising efforts, volunteer for organizations that are attempting to solve Flint’s water problems, donate their time and energy, rally support for *that*, rather than whether Venom or another movie tops the box office. 

The fact that the article is like, “Drummer Gwen Stacy?” Some sort of pig Spider-Man? What is this craziness?” Meanwhile, these concepts and characters have been around for years. I realize some of it is news to a lot of people who don’t follow Marvel Comics at all, but, at least back in the day, AV Club came across…

Flint still doesn’t have clean water, and this is how people are spending their time. Cool cool cool cool cool. 

Sorry, I’m doing my level best to forget everything about Batman v Superman. 

God, do I hate when news sites take something like this and run with it as any kind of story. Snyder says “Of course,” but I will bet dollars to donuts that nothing made it past the idea stage on that front. Plus, we don’t know what sequel he’s talking about? Justice League 2? 3? 5?

Real talk: Why would AV Club assign someone who doesn’t know anything about Spider-Man to do the write-up for this trailer?
