Seeing on social media other peoples’ reactions to Artemis returning to Earth makes me wonder if i am, in fact, a sociopath.

Well this news sucks. Didn't expect Philz to start footgunning itself so soon after selling to private equity.

Every NATO country is working like hell behind the scenes. Entering into a public spat with a man who loves public spats isn't smart politics. When all other options run out, sure, go public. For now, do diplomacy, which happens behind closed doors.

This thread is an excellent example of something I’ve been trying to do more of: While people know what John is (probably) commenting on, he’s building up his points from his own starting place rather than specifically responding to that thing. Which I think gives the thread a more positive spin.

I think the appropriate boundaries of The Cursive Debate are: -“cursive handwriting is pointless and Josh Shapiro is a huge dork for bringing it up.” Versus -“teaching cursive is good and productive and Ohmygod could it use a better champion than that huge dork Josh Shapiro.” Everyone agree?

I thought KPop Demon Hunters was fine, not something I expect to rewatch much (though the song at the climax is nice). Kind of the definition of “not really for me”. But it is great to see creators able to hold studios over a barrel for a change.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

I’m being entertained by the Firefly discourse, as someone who struggled through 5 episodes of it and then bailed. (I did watch Serenity. It was okay.) I was more interested in a Disney+ reboot, especially if they made the characters, you know, likeable. And jettisoned the faux-western veneer.

I love how the looks in these dipshits’ eyes scream disbelief that their actions have consequences for them. As if they expected Daddy Musk or Daddy Trump to protect them from any and all consequences.

I just had the dumbest (half of an) idea. A film sequel to The Greatest American Hero. Starring Ana de Armas as a thief or spy who finds the suit in a warehouse. Near-future setting. Feel-good action-adventure story. Main character is even more "oh fuck no" about wearing the suit than Ralph was.

I remember back around 1987 seeing a review of Dark Horse Presents wondering how this tiny new company managed to snag so many top new talent creators for its anthology comic. 40 years later it feels safe to say it was, ultimately, due to this guy.

I used to see stories like Dan Simmons going round the bend as “gee I hope I don’t turn out like that when I get older” cautionary tales. But he was several years younger than I am now when 9/11 happened, so… (But, hopefully I still have a lotta years left, so I’ll keep working on not calcifying.)

I have been gradually coming around on Wonder Woman 1984 as a film with some rewatch value. To be sure, the story and script are both a mess, and the very premise of the film (the wishing stone) doesn't really work. But there are a number of things which do: 1/
