TBH, I do not understand why anyone still accepts this nonsense that sports teams provide significant economic benefits to a community. I mean. economists keep debunking it, and yet...Kemp is selling it. This is ON TOP OF gaslighting people about how “he cares about the [pauses to make sure he uses the right word and…

Beat me to it. This. She negotiated the contract, so she knows just how to play the system. A system set up to benefit cops.

We will see. They did give Carino a few chances to reel it in before they cut her loose, and she was on track for her own series.

That is part of what drove him over the edge in Winter Soldier, I think. He says how he was able to move his family outside the city where they would be safe. Here is a guy who is used to getting his way. It failed to save his family. Easy for him to overlook his privilege, but also frustrated that that privilege did…

IDK, have you seen people this past year? Humanity does not do well with change. The Blip would be bad. Just as folks are getting used to “the new normal,” the Blip is reversed. Suddenly, the population that people had become accustomed to has doubled. When COVID initially left the streets and freeways less crowded,…

When did he turn evil? He wants to bring down the Flag Smashers. He sees the serum as a way to do that and to really become what he thinks Captain America is. They kill his best friend, and in anger (and possibly a serum side effect) he loses it with a lot of strength he is not used to. He feels justified, because…

Like a US Agent, perhaps?

That’s why the “grenade” scene and Steve’s talk with Erskine were so key in the first Captain America.

I honestly thought Lemar would die, then John would take the serum. I am actually glad they did not go that route.

Red Skull was the first, so it tracks that they would experiment. Then Paper Clip then Isaiah.

#4 - I did not get that. They were using their spears as pikes. If they wanted to, they could have run through the whole lot. They wanted to bring Zemo back to Wakanda.

Very nice review. I won’t repeat all of the comments here about overcoming and facing trauma - they are all spot on and I agree. In addition to all of that, the last scene was just jaw dropping. Looking at that crowd, many filming the killing with their cell phones - that struck a very contemporary nerve. Well done.

If the MCU follows the comics, she would be the next Black Panther, so very likely!

Or, heaven forbid, become intoxicated by a contact high and start to think, “You know, maybe everybody is basically cool after all.”

Anyone who has spent any time in higher ed knows that there is no bigger scam than those lists. Colleges are always trying to game them, and they rely on self-reported data.

Do these people think they are clever with their names and subject lines? Imagine denying racism and calling someone else racist, then using a racist epithet. I think you are probably getting more of these missives because their comments rarely get promoted out of the greys with their garbage. 

To be fair to old Tom, thinking about a collective like “a political party” and putting its needs before your own craven, individualist narcissism - well that’s just Communism!

I am only surprised that this is not taking place on April 20th, the traditional day of celebration for Nazis.

Yes. This. Whenever I hear this argument or its siblings, I ask why this is not a problem in other countries. Believe it or not, pro-gun folks say, “I don’t know. But taking away guns will not solve the problem.” It is just remarkable, the willful ignorance of these people.
