To be honest, I prefer “Across” and “Beyond” rather than Pt. 1 and Pt. 2.  Imagine if there was an “Empire Strikes Back Part 1".

Watched it last night. I am ultra burnt out on Marvel movies, but these animated Spider Man flicks have both been great. They feel really authentic, like the people working on them wanted to make something special. I loved whenever the background got really abstract.

I found something confusing. If he’s giving audiences a pass (or grace, or whatever you want to call it) for eating shit because they’ve been fed shit their whole life, why isn’t he extending the same benefit to writers who, in his words, have “been trained to eat and make the garbage, too”?

Disney should definitely not halt its lawsuit until the would be Republican dictator capitulates. 👍

These people don’t want anything besides “will it make liberals angry”

Agreed it’s a stretch but also as a southern VA native... there’s a lot of folks who have not gotten over the civil war, including the schooling system. What I would have given for a good history education *sigh*

Aldean shot his video at the site of a lynching and pleaded ignorance. Why would we consider any of this bullshit a stretch?

They are awkward. It reminds me of the kind of improvised protest song you hear in “Harlan County USA”. That’s fine in the moment but the second time it comes on my radio I’m changing the channel.

It’s those Northern elites. They’re the reason life is so hard for blue collar working class Southerners. Not Republicans in red states who gut assistance programs and vote down infrastructure bills, or turn a blind eye to megacorps who silence labor movements or offshore jobs abroad and incorporate out of the Cayman…

I suppose it’s vaguely in the realm of possibility that a human might set foot on Mars in that time frame. A settlement of any permanence or size? Decades after that, if ever.

• Conservatives suck at art. They’re bad at it. So there are a lot fewer conservative artists creating art of any quality. So when one does come along and create something passable, every single conservative purchases it, creating a unified wave of dollars behind that one mediocre thing. Liberal dollars, meanwhile, are…

I suppose I should be encouraged that they have moved from 1950's messaging to 1980's messaging.

“Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat / And the obese milkin’ welfare

It looks a lot like the Blue Beetle story in the Young Justice series, which I liked.

A lot of these companies don’t seem to really care of their unethical dealings and businesses. What they do care about is getting caught. It’s kind of expected nowadays for expensive and expanding businesses to chase unethical dealings just to keep the doors open.

Anyone, individual or corporate, doing business with Saudi Arabia under the current regime should be ashamed of themselves. Complicit with murder, torture and misogyny, KSA represents one of the worst of human societies.

Yo that’s absolutely wonderful news. Fuck the Saudi royal family and the companies taking money from them.

In many ways, they are..

The mutant situation is very much a matter of “while we may be allies, you are really not like me” and so while many of their allies help and do fight with them on occasion, those occasions are very self-serving or for the “greater good” (i.e.: bad guy is going to wipe out the universe.. oh and…

“Gay frogs? Please. Let me tell you about Karate Bears...”

Dale would never believe any of the MAGA conspiracy theories because he’s already four conspiracies deeper than anyone else.
