And McClatchy is cutting at the Sacramento Bee, which does vital coverage no one else is really doing.

James Bond has managed just fine.

Have they? I’ve seen all of the fucking Snyderverse films, and there’s no evidence that anyone behind the camera other than Patty Jenkins gives a fuck about what they’re doing.

Batman v Superman aggressively goes out of its way to shit on comic fans, with a weird “hey, here’s Jimmy Olsen, oh ho, he’s CIA, oh ho, NOW…

it’s easy to see why people would think it’s a cut-and-paste job on top of a better movie

My 6 year old was sitting next to me when we watched Man of Steel in the theater, and every few minutes, there was another question about Snyder’s nonsense.

“Why don’t they fight in the cornfield instead of destroying the town?” “I don’t know.”

“Why did his dad want to die instead of letting Superman save people?” “I…

I always feel that way until I watch an Avengers movie. There’s definitely some themes they play with in those, but nothing like the films you’ve mentioned. Which is a shame, because it would be cool for them to do it like Star Wars does, and be able to say “OK, in this scene, we’re going to blend in part of Black…

Your headline suggests there are non-shady business managers.

Theater kids as the terrifying school bullies was too stupid to believe.

I really, really wanted to finish it, but the writing and acting were all over the place in Everything Sucks.

That said, I did watch all of Crazyhead. Can we have some more of that, please?

You must be fun at parties. Fortunately, it sounds like you’re unlikely to be at any of them.

Life expectancy is 48? That’s new and terrifying information.

Check his Twitter feed. He’s the attention whore of all attention whores and has been called out for this kind of shit repeatedly.

You know those folks are gone, right?

Read the links above. There’s still good journalists at Newsweek, who are incredibly embattled as they fight their owners and managers while trying to serve the public. I guarantee you, they’re more pissed than you are about these SEO-based pieces.

The Associated Press uses AI to write baseball score articles and stories about stock market prices (neither category gets good traffic and isn’t worth spending the money required for a real human being to create them). This isn’t a nefarious or even out of the mainstream practice. As the tools become cheaper, it’ll…

I don’t either, but I have an article (written for a mainstream publication) that appears in those Outbrain grids at the bottom of the articles, and someone is clicking on them, based on the software my company uses to track clicks/reads.

What’s weird is that it’s not a particularly good or interesting article, just a…

His art on the abbreviated Nighthawk comic was great. Really dynamic and conveyed action wonderfully (it was a brutally violent book, for Marvel) as well as character. It’s definitely much more stylized than realistic, though, which suits the premise of Border Town.

I loved O’Rourke’s work in the 1990s, but I haven’t seen a funny piece from him in years. 

You would see very funny right-wing nighttime shows way funnier and edgier than Jay Leno (who is Republican) if the networks wanted to put one on, but they don’t because almost all of them are leftist.

I enjoy some of the flourishes she adds to the singing of “Soap Star Joe” -- “they say he RODE in on the back of a pick-up” -- but with very few exceptions, the EIG versions are far superior, especially for her biggest songs, like “Fuck and Run” and “Divorce Song,” neither of which benefits from her earlier…
