The rehabbing is a great point. Disney/Marvel have killed it in bringing the characters to the big screen (and assault and battery’d it bringing them to the small, live-action screen), while Sony’s Spider Man efforts have been lackluster for years. The synergies (and I can’t believe I’m using that word sincerely)…

I am old enough to have read Amalgam. That way lies disappointment.

Captain America works best as the center of an ensemble. It’s why he’s long been more compelling as part of the Avengers than he has been in his own titles, which often grasp for direction and tone. He’s a leader—he needs people to lead.

Thank you. I can’t understand what people’s issue with the animated eyes is: that’s literally how they draw him in the comics. A big part of what makes these costumes work on the page is taking liberties with how they look under different situations: most masks are drawn with dynamic eyes, even though having lenses in…

Lower right is what I remember him looking like when I was in my formative years and therefore is the correct costume.

Cannot possibly be the latter. This could be the new “you see a turtle on its back” for detecting non-human intelligence, if “he” means the latter.

Everything about that picture is so early ‘90s I want to put some low-fi laser effects on it.

This seems more complicated than necessary. The set-up that I think works best is similar, but simpler. Treat all income as fungible each month, and pay household expenses (mortgage, student loans, other debt service, taxes, household maintenance, groceries, etc... etc...) off the top. The remainder is split 50/50.…

Based on your name, I’m going to guess you’re a lawyer. It may be that you don’t fight very much about money because it’s not really a limiting factor in your life—people (including couples) fight over scarce resources.

I am shocked that this is not the lead comment. This is the most obvious explanation of the trend. Pedestrian fatalities are literally within single digits of where they were ten years ago, while auto fatalities are generally are down 25%.

In some neighborhoods, the story you told above about stringing along an empty house for a while and then recouping losses either on the deficiency judgment or from a bounce in prices works. In a large number of neighborhoods across the country, though, it didn’t and continues not to. Even pretty nice neighborhoods,…

Holding a house on the books is not cost-free. In fact, in neighborhoods with high foreclosure rates, it’s so costly that banks are abandoning the land, and local communities are absorbing direct costs (demolishing houses that become public health hazards) and indirect costs (increased crime from vacant buildings). If…

I guess he’s not a True Scotsman, either.

“Would not be president” does not equal “could not be a politician.” Obama is proof that, under the right circumstances, a person of color can now rise to the highest office in the land. It is undeniably possible—a thing that was not true until very recently.

Okay, you’re clearly trolling. I literally pointed out that ABOUT HALF of federal inmates are there for drugs. How does your source have anything to do with anything I said?

Were you literally unable to read 17 words into the post?

Reading comprehension is not a long suit for you, is it? Once more, with feeling: the vast majority of people locked up, including black people, are locked up in state prisons.

As a Sanders supporter, this coverage is absolutely eye-rollingly dumb.

He even said that “it was part of the problem.” I don’t think anyone denies, now, that harsher sentencing for crack was a bad idea, but the fact remains that the vast, overwhelming majority of people (including black people) in prison are in state prisons. They’re not there for federal offenses.

100% endorsed. I’m a Sanders supporter, but this is the correct answer. Electing Obama didn’t End Racism or anything like that, but it is proof that getting involved in the system can work. You can get elected and you can make a difference once you do.
