The underlying problem with Superman is that his style of heroism is ultimately self-serving.

I wonder if Zaslav’s reality-tv background is leading him to believe that Miller’s behavior is “ratings gold.” Perhaps he doesn’t realize that feature films are a different animal from “unscripted” shows about people with deficient impulse control.

Or a “ceeement pond.”

They don’t want to bother needing to learn Spanish to bully their serfs.

Maybe we’ve been wrong about Thomas all along. Maybe he’s actually extremely angry about, and determined to destroy, the white supremacist capitalist social order in this country. He’s just been playing a very long game.

Just once, when some meathead starts thanking God for his team’s win on national television, I’d love to hear a booming voice from the heavens say, “I had fifty bucks on the other guys.”

Don’t give the lunatics any ideas. They’ll start throwing every woman who misses her period into “protective custody.”

Maybe they can add a prologue that says the Flash suffered a side effect from his frequent interactions with the speed force that makes him vibrate uncontrollably, then blur his face out for the whole movie. Much cheaper than deepfaking another actor in.

I think you can ask for it on the side.

Replace “holiday” with “thing” and I think you’ve hit the target. Every single fucking thing in this country is refracted through a funhouse mirror labeled “capitalism.” If someone can’t make a buck out of it, it may as well not exist.

Either that, or he’s saying that people mentioning those things is boring him and ruining his fun. Either way, pretty odious.

The whole point is “exclusivity.” Nothing about these accessories is inherently better than ordinary retail products. They’re not better made, more stylish, or more functional. Often, they’re noticeably worse. But they’re prohibitively expensive for the ordinary person, which means that you and I can’t have one. And…

It seems someone was abusing the child. Whether it was Melissa or one of her other daughters was never established. Melissa’s confession shut down any further investigation.

I suspect the family’s grief may be softened by relief. I’m sure this angry old racist wasn’t exactly a ray of sunshine at home.

Wow, the full “ching chong,” huh Rosie? Classy.

She’s been called out multiple times for multiple things. They’re one of those families that hold huge, long-running grudges that never get resolved.

My cousin married an Indian man 20 years ago. To this day, her aunt addresses Christmas cards to the family with the surname “Patel,” even though that is not their name. Patel is a fairly common name, but it’s not the only one. To this aunt, all Indians are Patels.

Selling your half of a joint business without notice is a “fuck you” move. Selling to a Russian oligarch is a “fuck you I hope he orders his goons to kill you after torturing you into signing over your half" move.

“Judiasm is a religion, not a race” is the sort of dipshittery you’d hear from a “free thinking” high schooler who believes they’re a lot smarter than they are.

Ahh but, you see, we baby-eaters are just as squeamish and hypocritical as other meat eaters. We’re happy to consume the end product, but only once it’s been sanitized into steaks, nuggets, sausages, and cutlets.
