Watching XMen 97 was a cold splash of water - I hated hated hated the Wolverine voice and realized that Jackman’s been the Platonic Ideal Wolverine for almost that far back!

We don’t know yet that Nova won’t stick around.  I do think the extreme profanity of the trailer is specifically meant to assuage the people (nerds) who for the past couple of years have been expressing concerns that Disney Deadpool would take it down to PG or PG-13.  

That’s Canada’s ass!

Nah, it’s just her normal garden-variety telekinesis.

They also did this exact plot (with a school bus driver) on Grey’s Anatomy. And I have a foggy memory that perhaps ER did as well?

True, true.

Between that and whatever they’re spending on this ridiculous inchoate “Robo-Taxi” thing (even $1 would be too much), at the expense of the cheap widely-affordable option that they should be developing, Musk is driving them directly into a wall, just like an Autopilot.

Because music is in lots of places and things other than streaming!  If you are claiming that you’ve remained cut off from the entirety of audiovisual media for the past decade, then maybe it’s plausible.  Is that correct?

I don’t suppose there’s a suggestion box on that website, is there?

Yeah, seems like that ordinance would fall nicely into “time, place, and manner” in First Amendment analysis.  Might have problems under a more general “too vague” constitutional attack.

Is “free” in quotes because you think Biden said that, or to emphasis that you understand it’s not actually “free,” per my third note?

If you’re reading a Web site with the byline “Pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed,” you’ve heard a Taylor Swift song before.

I actually don’t believe anyone who claims that they’ve never heard, at the very least, “Shake It Off.” That was everywhere.

There’s been some really lousy reporting on that, and this line in the story (and the linked article from which it came) joins that dubious body of work. The point in saying that the federal government will be responsible for the majority of the costs is that a) part of the point of having a federal government is to…

Hell of a backstory there.

Not to mention dramatic overvaluation to begin with.

“even a record like Lover (at the bottom of my personal album ranking) is notable for taking big swings and trying different sounds”

I will renew my call here, now that Josh Hartnett is back, for a movie with any plot, don’t care what, where he and Tommy Lee Jones play a father/son team.

Yeah, there’s going to be some other swerve, no doubt about it.  Trailer looked kind of fun, though, so color me interested.

Heck, the USSR also stumbled along somehow, until it didn’t.
