A lot of stupid people have been getting really loud, convinced that their hatred matters. It might have been enough to derail middling superhero or Star Wars movies, but here’s the lesson we learned this week: Make something really good, and their mindless braying means nothing. Never forget.

No comment. #Pinks

I had to settle for a Zeus’ Law popcorn bucket, but when I sat down to begin snacking, I accidentally broke it. When I complained to the concession workers, they said that was exactly how the popcorn bucket was supposed to work. Wish I had got the pig or dung heap popcorn bucket instead. 😢

It's legit hilarious that they're selling Trojan Horse popcorn holders for THE ODYSSEY (2026), given how the Trojan Horse ends up being framed in the film as the genocidal nail in the coffin of a rules-based international order

Theatrical rerelease when?

The Odyssey is opening so please do a wellness check on any Incels in your neighborhood. Repeat comforting words to them like, “Release the Snyder cut!” or, “It’s about ethics in gamer journalism!” or anything sexist and racist that might help them through this trauma.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

I don't know if Tom King started the Iraq war. But it his 'wedding' issue of Batman (#50) hurt a lot of local comic stores. It was solicited as a wedding between Batman and Catwoman. Pre-orders surged, only to be cancelled when it was revealed before release that they don't actually get married.

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

Watching this guy try to shrink soldiers' balls in an attempt to mass produce a MAGA Trader Joe's version of Captain America, because yeah, he has nothing better to occupy his time with.

This post is hitting me today like....

The dumb thing about MAGA conservatives getting mad that Elliot Page plays Achilles in Nolan's THE ODYSSEY is THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY ACHILLES!!! Instead he plays a person who's sacrificed by both sides in the film -- a role that many conservatives and libs cast trans people for in real life.

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

L'Amour fou, Jacques Rivette (1969)

On behalf of everyone who doesn’t give a shit about stupid things I’m awarding this trophy to the Greeks. I am not aware of a single Greek actor in Nolan’s The Odyssey and they have yet to complain about ‘historical inaccuracies’ with the casting. May my fellow white Americans learn from this.

Wonder if Nolan's playing dumb or simply doesn't realize they are the same people. The call is coming from inside the house, bro!

Wouldn’t it be funny if we found out grok didn’t actually work, and was just Elon paying investors and photoshop people to make posts in an attempt to defraud investors?

Feeling down? Just remember that no one fictional or real has had a worse day than Guts, and even he is believing in YOU. PS - Happy Heavenly 60th Birthday to Kentaro Miura.

Watching them pretend to care about ‘the integrity of women’s sports’ was always another play in their never ending theatre of political outrage.

I won an award at Sundance years ago and Sam Neill, whom I did not know, tweeted to me “we’re all so proud of you, sweetheart”. I can’t even express what that meant to me. That our most beloved national treasure, a man I worshipped, would take the time to write to me!

Adam McKay: Dick Cheney was far worse than Donald Trump. Trump: Hold my Diet Coke….

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

One thought I cannot escape — it’s beyond stupid that right before he reboots the X-Men, Feige will bring the old cast back for one final movie. There are many factors contributing to the creeping death of superhero movies, but the biggest one is our inability to get over our own nostalgia.

Going to spend much of today wondering how many people died because Lindsey Graham was a sexually repressed weirdo who was too afraid to be his most authentic self in public.

Confirming that Graham died after consuming a fatal amount of sugar free gummy bears. Don’t believe this is possible? Then look up Amazon reviews of sugar free gummy bears.

Hooooooooooooooly shit First trade review of @beckbook.com just dropped I don't even know where to begin with how grateful I am to @shelf-awareness.com for such a thoughtful and passionate rave I cried my tgirl eyes out at the last graf Preorder today!!! beckbook.com

I was meh on Snyder's New 52 Batman. It wasn't terrible, but felt kinda edgelord-y (look at this new Joker, y'all! He cut off his own face!). Meanwhile Tomasi & Gleason had a Batman & Robin arc that wove that tonal darkness into a story about Bruce putting in the work to be a better person.

Shocked to find out this person should not be Senator of Maine.

Today is July 8, Beck's birthday Exactly 26 yrs ago tonight, he held his 30th birthday party at a rented mansion in Silver Lake (the Paramour Estate) He was single for the first time in nine years Much had changed in the preceding weeks... and the party presaged changes to come... beckbook.com

Charged with using a homemade plasma cannon?!? This happened in my city, and we have two choices here: Turn this kid into Iron Man or Doctor Doom. Get this kid out of handcuffs and give him a scholarship and/or defense contract. What are we even doing here, people!?!

I guess today is as good of a time as any to remind folks about a narrative podcast series I created a while ago charting the origins of AICN. It’s funny how when it came out, people initially thought it was a hagiography of Knowles and his website. Why? open.spotify.com/show/6vzHBq0...

Jackass Five made me realize *THIS* used to be our manosphere -- guys who were more focused on caca and punching each other in the groin instead of: - Vaccine conspiracies - Fascism - Hating women Culture critics used to demonize these guys, but there's a part of me that wishes we could go back?

Why not honor the USA's 250th birthday by pre-ordering a beautiful trans woman's book about How It All Went Wrong?

On today of all days, we must remember: Until ALL of us are free, none us are.

Happy Fourth of July.

Remember when a woman director made a Barbie film that grossed $1 Billion at the box office, and studios basically responded by saying, “That was great, but never do it again!”? Pepperidge Farms remembers….

In the alternate universe where Al Gore won the 2000 election: - 9/11 never happened. - We took meaningful action to curb global warming. - SEGA won the console wars and the Dreamcast was the highest selling video game console of all time.

Started listening to this at lunch and it's a really strong interview/feature about Ed's life and career. Ed's very candid, the framing and analysis seems spot on, full of anecdote and colour. It's worth your eyes and attention.

Imagine how beloved Dave would have been if all he did was offer pizza takes? Everybody loves pizza. And there's many times when his pizza takes content is wholesome and refreshing. But man do those pizza takes come with a lot of terrible baggage!

"Look: I have two redheaded parents, and I grew up with crippling anxiety, okay? So that's kinda like the Techno-Organic Virus!" -- @josie.zone, 2026

X-Men '97 proves that even under layers of cheesiness (intentional or otherwise), these characters are far better served in a TV serie than in movies.

When you hear details for this ballroom, it's clear that this is intended to be a fortress -- and now he's making 'extensive' golf course plans?!? It's increasingly obvious this man is not intending to leave the White House in two years. Buckle up, America.

I don't know a single Gen Z who purchases physical releases of new games, and I think part of it is that there are so many inexpensive ways to acquire digital copies of games. But also, so many new games require Day One updates to be playable, making physical releases kinda pointless?
