Agatha as complete villain? Well, maybe. She’s certainly at least as cruel as the fate Wanda left her to. But there are also bits and pieces and hints at something else, though there was no effort to play them up. Agatha’s response at the suggestion that Wanda can bring back the dead, genuinely, seemed interested in a…

Hayward wasn’t fleeing, he was backing up to try to run down the kids. And he was head of SWORD, so while he clearly exceeded his authority, it’s unclear how much of what he was doing before the Hex was unauthorized. Certainly SWORD’s operatives would normally follow their director’s instructions, and he’d have his…

The more people who catch it, the higher the chances of another mutation, too.

Shorter version of the statement: “I am sorry that these women don’t have a sense of humor.”

Given how many people are ignoring the current pandemic, concerns about ignoring the next one seem sound.

So they’re both gonna be upset about an hour after signing their contracts?

No mention of Agnes’ very interesting reaction when it was hinted Wanda can bring the dead back to life? That seemed extremely important to me, though I don’t think we know enough yet to account for it.

First off, “insisted on anonymity because he knows Tarses well?” What the hell kind of logic is that? I know her, so don’t identify me, please.

You see stories like this about people who can’t even manage to do the barest minimum to be a decent human being, despite being in a position of wealth and fame, and then you remember that they aren’t bothering to try because of people like Carlson, who got in a position of wealth and fame by deliberately refusing to…

If this sort of thing catches on, “redlining” can take on a whole new meaning!

You know, there used to be a time when corporations fired people closely associated with them for expressing their private opinions publicly. When they even forced employees to sign contracts restricting their public utterances, and even their public behavior.

That was a long and cogent comment that doesn’t really engage with the original article at all, which is a bit odd. I am hopeful that everyone would agree that abusively hounding someone off of Twitter is problematic? So at issue here is whether it is legitimate for someone to point out to Disney that, as a…

I’m not sure I agree: Henson was no international superstar, but he was fairly well known before the Muppet Show took off.

“There used to be a me, but I had it surgically removed!”

Can we at least edit Johnny Depp out of the Fantastic Beasts films? And for the second one, can we also edit out everyone else?

I have come around on the delay. If I were Chuck Schumer, I would say “We will delay trial for 100 days, and see if any additional Articles of Impeachment are sent our way by the House” and put Trump on notice for the remaining days of his presidency. Some threat needs to be held over the man until he leaves office.

If you’re one of the tiny number of people to have an allergic response to the vaccine, Mickey and Minnie will be available to give you mouse-to-mouth resuscitation.

“I’m selling these fine leather jackets.”

We need to collectively work to change the rhetoric here. “Healing” is a natural process of the body: it just happens (at least, some of the time). “Repairs” require activity, action, and investment.

To be precise, Trump withdrew Chad Wolf’s nomination to his current job (he has been “acting” for a long time, and even that has been ruled by the courts to be an illegal appointment) and Wolf has to step down.
