At this point, Kanye West feels more like a parody of himself than his South Park character.

At risk of stating the obvious, anyone advocating the genocide of *any* group will be suspended from this platform

Oh, that’s definitely Rowling.
Elon’s days were always numbered until the truth came out about how little he actually contributed to the things that made him famous in the first place. Jo actually did the thing that made her famous, so she’d still be sittin’ pretty if she hadn’t made the choice to lean hard into…

I love that Yaccarino’s tweet got mercilessly roasted from both sides last night.

I always thought pro-life *sounded* better than pro-choice. I mean, who doesn’t love life?

“I shouldn’t need to know exactly who did what and when in the first season of Loki to understand the upcoming second season.”

I really wanted to type something snarky or insulting in reply to this, but I made myself wait until I’d read everything you had to write about it. Now that I’ve done that, I realize that the…

This is a truly hilarious comment if anyone wants to look up the top-grossing movies of 2023 (so far).

Just don’t watch it if it’s not for you. I can’t stand soap operas, but I have no problem with them existing. I hate basketball, but I don’t care that other people like it.

And you absolutely do not have to read the books to watch Foundation.

I mean...so? You were watching the 5th film in a series of films where the story builds on itself much like the books. Why would they make any effort to make them “freestanding” when the books weren’t that way and there was no need to and who the hell just jumps into the fifth one in a series and then complains that…

So you jumped into a random part of a franchise not having seen the other installments and were shocked you were confused? 

How amazingly reductive of other people’s human experiences that was. “If you are a comics fan, you are an awful person and never get laid”.

The characters represented have been a part of pop culture for 80 plus years. Literally Islands of Adventure has been Marvel themed for 25 years at Universal and was a huge attraction (still is) since before 2000. This is certainly a hot take.

Does the subheader actually say that you shouldn’t have to know what happened in season one of loki to get what’s happening in season 2?

I was a Marvel fan in the late 80s/early 90s, and I remember when they redid virtually all of their comics to make them much grittier. Now the MCU is a much more colorful and jokey place, but back then all the movies had ultraviolent main characters with black outfits.

This really has never been true. The MCU rewards you if you’ve seen it all and really rewards you if you’ve seen it multiple times.

Well they’ve been around for over 80 years. So I think they might have “staying power”.

counterpoint, you SHOULD know what happened in the first season if you want to follow the second season

Take a Gallup Poll as you will, but:

Oh of course. Europe does have significantly better protections in place. There’s issues there, but the bar set by the US is so fucking low...
