The big difference with Kirby (besides the fact that there’s more trust when a Jew is writing an antisemitic protagonist) is that we saw Cap get brainwashed beforehand, so that the explicit takaway is the question of how Cap will get out of it.

This is a bit like having a comic where Static Shock gets lynched. No matter what the context, people are going to be pissed.

Croquetts, so [insert filling] suspended in/mixed into bechamel, breaded, and fried. They’re still a popular tapa in Spain.

In this case, it seems to purely by the fault of whatever filter they used on the camera. Croqettas are delicious, barbecued meat is solid, edible arrangements are now more popular than ever, and savories and canapes are broad categories that have always been popular.

Those lunches don’t look like they’d take that long for someone with decent knife skills and a few cookie forms. The impressive part is the creativity (and knife skills).

So I’m not seeing any provided evidence to back up the proposition that less confident parents are less effective. How do we know that lowered confidence doesn’t lead to greater introspection, self-awareness, and willingness to continuously improve? Constant low confidence is certainly a big part of success in Jewish…

Yeah, you’re too busy worrying that Roma might have blonde children.

The trans/mid-Atlantic accent (not to be confused with the mid-atlanic region of the East Coast, as you seem to be doing) was commonly taught in Ivy-bound prep schools, is based off the Boston Brahmin and Connecticut Lockjaw, and is observed in people whose accents solidified well before the rise of Hollywood, with…

One of the continuing stresses of my relationship if that my GF bobs her head everywhere (especially the ceiling of the car) instead of looking where she’s going and slamming on the brake when I scream her name with increasing urgency.

What the hell happened to that guy’s face?

I think a large part of it is that vocal fry is more of a social marker among women than among men. Among women, it originated from the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, valley girls, and guidettes and then spread to people who follow that category, which is mainly gossip-mongers and Celebrity followers. I don’t think…

It’s kind of an interesting parallel to the way Velma has gotten thinner and thinner but kept the same bust. The two of them have a good bit of hotness creep.

A news story for every state in the union and a short writeup of pretty much every story of note out there. It’s a traveler’s paper.

Let’s try to remember that Marvel started the stupid Grimdark stuff well ahead of DC, so this may just be a case of DC being in the middle of a period of similar length.

I really, really hope that’s not where contemporary fashion is headed.

How else would you describe that haircut?

I think a big part is that she’s not being the sensible one, but rather the self-centred one. She’s offended that he’s using a gift she gave him and that he’s hanging out with an old friend and doing something that in now way dangerous for any of them. It mostly reminds me of my old boss when he was learning to deal…

I don’t think you know how elections work if you can’t tell the difference between primaries nd the general election. Also, you do realize that at this point in 2008 Clinton was suggesting that Obama was a secret Muslim and spreading rumours that he wasn’t eligible for the presidency, right?

He’s trying to convince them to vote with the voters of their corresponding states, thereby better representing the voters. He’s been saying this consistently the whole time. Just because Clinton’s paying for your support online doesn’t mean you get to be divorced from reality.
