really went dark for the sequel

And also, he feels like he can't use 'MAGA' to refer to Republicans who support him. Pretty telling.

So far as I can tell, this is WB being paid to make a movie (theyre not funding this themselves) that will then be distributed by Paramount for a ripoff double-digit distribution fee while the stars get like $50m each.

Woof

these pathetic performances are only going to get more impotent and humiliating as he continues to lame duckify and degrade

The dumbest, stupidest, funniest part of this administration is that Kimmel getting to come back after a massive public pressure campaign folded Disney like a lawn chair is basically the exact moment Trump's authoritarian project failed.

Now do you see? They're not evil geniuses. They don't have any sort of REAL plan. They're horribly, horribly inept. They do nothing but break shit and sweep stuff under the rug. Project 2025 is a wishlist of unicorn farts and fairy dust. They never had any idea what they were doing.

2/3rds approval from your own party is apocalyptic.

Seems like the current White House isn’t capable of dealing with how badly the Trump myth is backfiring

I just learned that the first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn debuted at #15 out of the top 200 in sales (just 6 spots behind the main ASM line) and at #14 in sales (just 3 spots behind ASM). And issue 2 is even better. Still time for new readers to jump on board.

Reality: Russ Vought accidently coded some firings at CDC wrong and had to bring back more than half of them, taking his grand total of "mass firings during the shutdown" to a whopping 3k or so. Also they nearly broke the mortgage market and had to bring those people back too.

They almost certainly fired the people who would be working on this. 🤷‍♂️

And very stupid as well

This is very true. People need to quit trying to predict the apocolypse and realize that Trump and his viziers are very weak.

I think we need to call this Psylocke announcement what it is: Racist and Sexist. The original Acts of Vengeance change was never meant to be permanent, and had the benefit of being drawn by an Asian American, but should never have lasted for the decades that it did.

If they are reporting it this way, it must be really, really, really bad. I've never seen them report like this before.

Oh my god they are going to absolutely annihilate rural america

I love the creators of a certain generation complaining about not wanting Spider-Man to "Grow old with them." It's like- dude, you guys are entering or are *in* your 60's. A married Spider-Man with a kid *is still younger than you are!*

I never understood the "we need to update Magneto's origin because he's too old" when you have characters like Apocalypse, Mystique, Wolverine, Mr Sinister and many other that had live for centuries at their peak physique, but it's too hard to believe with the holocaust survivor?

All those years they spent planning, only to put the stupidest most incompetent people in charge. I think they would have been a bit more successful if they weren’t complete morons.

There's kinda a reason that suspending physical fitness standards goes poorly.

Kind of ghoulish if you think about it... #FizzVsComics #MarvelZombies

Helena Wayne! She’s sweet and brave, always looking out for defenseless kids who might be getting bullied at the playground.

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

Claims 200k at Kirk's funeral Didn't even reach the 63k capacity

How Jimmy Kimmel's whole firing thing just completely backfired in Trump's face and broke through to how bad things are to the mainstreamers who aren't "political", will go down in history as one of the greatest fuckups a tyrant ever committed. www.youtube.com/shorts/t29xC...

Fuck this shit.

I also can't help but notice that Brevoort is stepping back from direct fan interactions right before the X-Men's Age of Revelation event is set to begin... #FizzVsComics

I know there is dooming abound, and maybe this is too optimistic of a read, but I still think Trump is going to massively overplay his hand, and arguably already has. They derailed the Dems have gone too far / Kirk martydom cycle for no real reason.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

I’m just going to say this. If you’re freaking out about Kimmel, get off the internet. This is scary BUT this is dumb. We are not China, people will NOT accept this shit. Acting like movie fascists is scary but DUMB. Remember LA how they invade and it lead to No Kings being the LARGEST PROTEST.

this is not abc pulling kimmel this is nexstar, which is trying to merge with tegna to become the new more powerful sinclair, refusing to air kimmel on its abc affiliates.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

I think the fact the administration is afraid of Jimmy Kimmel of all people should be a considered a sign of weakness, not all powerful omnipotence.

They couldn't get a grand jury to indict the sandwich guy lmao

"Will internet leftish types actually learn how charging for federal crimes works?" The answer is no, no they will not.

wooof

MAGA seems to be committing to “we’re gonna tell on you!” as a core strategy and gosh that just doesn’t seem like a viable method for building a majority coalition in the US

I think this is happening with the current Kirk bullshit. They had an argument that was working for a bit but are clearly pushing way too hard and it's going to bite them on the ass in public opinion. (But it will also ruin a few people's lives.)

once again I think he himself was more of a load-bearing piece than a lot of people think, holding it together the way he did in the face of all the infighting was a difficult task and what comes next will not be remotely as well organized

TPUSA was an enormous cash cow and everyone on the right wants to take a piece, groyper war is gonna get *real* ugly

they're so comically inept at their jobs. Just look at what the FBI has been doing this past weekend, they're an embarrassment. Idiots can smash a lot of things in a rage but they are not organized enough or smart enough to win.

Hey Zack, instead of doing Miller's work for him by being a fear multiplier, how about spreading this story instead? Make them defend one of their own calling for Hegseth’s getting a few bullets in the brain: www.rawstory.com/exclusive-ma...

lol, lmao

It's also important to remember that they are both incompetent autocrats and moral cowards.

Obviously both dangerous and floridly insane, but on some level they know winning an election by 2% because food prices were too high is not a mandate to remake society writ large (esp since they made food prices worse). That requires gaslighting and force and contains its own self destruction.
