Doctor Strange did his turbo-scrying after Thanos had already obtained four of the six stones. Basically, his vision was, “If Thanos already controls Space, Reality, Power and Soul, what’s our strategy from here?” It lets Star-Lord and Thor off the hook, certainly, and explains why he surrendered the Time stone…

You’re totally right, especially about Doctor Strange. I’m really hoping the next movie touches on this, because Mordo seemed very convinced that Doctor Strange’s use of the Time stone was just kicking the problem down the road and making it worse in all sorts of ways that couldn’t be foreseen, and I’m very curious to…

They’re all flashbacks. Every single one of them.

Okay, but... you understand that the whole movie is about how every single Avenger’s personal flaws led to Thanos’ triumph, right?

If I liked The Three Stooges, I would definitely feel guilty about it. :)

Did anyone else feel like it was a little weird hearing Charles “Here, let me send you a basket of sex toys to help you procreate on your honeymoon” Boyle complaining that Jake doesn’t listen and just tries to fix the things he thinks are wrong with his friend’s life? Like, he’s not wrong, but physician, heal thyself.

I’m a little too lazy to drag out the “Old Man Yells at Cloud” gif, so can y’all just pretend you’re looking at it right now? Yeah, thanks.

“The current generation of political leaders is openly courting violent white supremacists, ignoring the will of the people and subverting the democratic process, openly allowing massacres in our schools, secretly taking bribes from foreign dictators, and turning the world into an uninhabitable hellscape. In other…

In fairness, if Putin walked up to me, took my jewelry, and mentioned he could have me killed, I’d probably do the same thing. I’m not proud.

I think it’s more likely he was guest-starring because of his upcoming role in ‘Pet Sematary’.

The problem is probably “how do you define what a burner account is?” I have something like four email addresses for various personal and professional uses, and it would not be hard for me to create an account associated with each of them if I had the goal of being an asshole. Figuring out a way to track people’s…

A lot of trolls have multiple Kinja accounts, one that’s their “reputable” account that makes nothing but nice, friendly, positive comments... and then stars or replies to their troll accounts so that they get ungreyed. It’s a broken system.

He reminds me of no one so much as Robert Beale, tax evader and father to infamous alt-right provocateur Ted Beale (aka “Vox Day”). Robert not only assumed he could dictate terms to the judge due to his wealth and privilege, he actually conspired with his friends from his jail cell to have the judge kidnapped and “put…

Makes perfect sense, given that Trump’s 2016 campaign was the political equivalent of “Springtime for Hitler”.

It’s more accurate to say that the current policy of the Federal Department of Justice is not to indict a sitting president. That’s not the same thing as “a president can’t be indicted”; the same people he can’t pardon his way past also aren’t beholden to that policy.

Nah, it’s seriously beyond just “expensive”. There are 300 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute. Assuming that you hire someone to watch YouTube for a solid eight hours a day, just flagging content, you’d need a staff of 54,000 just to keep up. Google, in its entirety, has about 88,000 employees right now.…

It’s even more fun if you assume everyone is their Marvel Universe counterpart. Nick Fury is secretly there to recruit the Punisher for the Avengers initiative!

This is a money crime. Kushner is deeply compromised due to financial ties with foreign governments, and the reason he was denied a security clearance was because those same governments could use those ties to influence him to make policy favorable to them. That’s a pretty big fucking deal, and should absolutely be…

The thing is, if they’re admitting he lied to Congress, then they’re admitting that the truth is that Donald Trump was in fact making business deals with Russia during the entirety of his presidential campaign. Which he says he wasn’t. YOU CANNOT MAKE THE CLAIM THAT COHEN IS UNTRUSTWORTHY WITHOUT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING…

Weirdly enough, I found out a couple of days ago that I do have a connection to Cohen! My cousin used to work at his law firm, but apparently working with Michael Cohen is enough to drive you right out of the legal profession. He quit and changed careers. I joked that if he’d just worked hard and stuck with it, it…
