Trump isn’t the apotheosis of the conservative movement He’s a parasite animating its shambling corpse

Us in January 2017, sitting waiting for Hari Seldon to explain the Trump crisis and he starts talking about the great crisis of the Rubio Administration and everyone goes nuts.

there is a reason that Trump is striking out in front of his own district court judges and that the Heritage Foundation is imploding. it's because this isn't true. people have been saying this for years. they were right for Gettier case reasons.

I can’t get over how very bad at it it is Without repeatedly reminding it to be cynical and pessimistic, every POD basically leads to a steampunk world hegemon

Sometimes it's because the new boss or superstar writer had been stewing, since their teens, over an epic story about how their fave would come back from the dead and show everyone why they're the G.O.A.T. Sometimes, this works out (Hal Joedan). Sometimes, its shit (Barry Allen).

No one survived Krypton except Clark. And his dog. And his cousin. And the entire population of Kandor. And Zod. And…

Still should’ve had him come back as William Burnside

I'm sorry... were we really supposed to believe that a popular superhero with a popular actor *wouldn't* be returning in a comic book franchise? I thought Deadpool 3 covered this quite clearly.

And the WORST part about it -- yeah, even worse than the sheer cynicism and ruin of the perfect death -- was that in the process they destroyed Wally West, who'd gotten 20 years of stellar characterization that outshined anything Barry HIMSELF had ever gotten before they killed him

Really bringing back Barry Allen is one of the arch-crimes of all of comic book writing I’ve talked to @johnlk.bsky.social , @danmynrd.bsky.social , @g026r.leftblank.org, and others about perfect comic book endings (Oeming Thor, Secret Wars 2015 for the FF) but Allen’s death in CoIE was *perfect*

Seriously why

While I see the point they’re trying to make, bringing back dead people is basically one of the most comic book cliche acts possible so I’m gonna allow it (Screenshot quote as this account disables QTs)

“A politician must earn my vote” is really the ultimate triumph of consumerism. No conception that voting is a collective power. Just an empty belief that a vote is a type of currency that one uses to purchase a politician.

Hello, I’m a trans person. I hope you get fatal explosive diarrhea.

I’m still stuck on how banal and cowardly this viewpoint is It’s narrowly, technically correct, but in terms of the spirit of a democratic system and real world consequences this is just sophism

Last Christmas I gave you my heart The very next day Kali ma shakti de

Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt

Thought experiment: There are 11 people voting. 5 people want something horrible. 4 people want something that you don’t particularly like but it’s not as bad as the first option. You and your buddy are the only ones who support your option. Who should you and your buddy vote for?

You all torched your own third party moderation systems in a fit of libindnal glee, not just destroying the one you said was bad, but anyone adjacent to them too, to the point nobody wants third party moderation anymore. You took the tools you were handed and shit on them and lit them on fire.

God bless labelers

It was here before they showed up, they weren't responsible and they actively tried to sabotage moderaton and pretty much every turn. The reason theres a rule against death threats thats enforced so hard is because they kept telling everyone to go off themselves in visceral and violent manners.

Wow someone is mad on the internet

"it's the responsibility of the party I'm closest to to win my vote as a consumer" is *specifically an argument Ralph Nader, a consumer activist, popularized in his third party campaigns*, most antielectoralists in the history of the left are *actually against elections*

“The argument therefore commits a fallacy of division: it assigns to each individual vote a form of moral responsibility that exists, if at all, only at the level of the collective outcome” lol, so nobody has any moral culpability for any outcome of any system under this framework.

Okay, this may be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read. Choosing not to vote for, say, the SPD versus Hitler but saying that you’re morally justified because you think the SPD is also evil is the argument of an adolescent

Would be amazing if they did Avengers: The Crossing followed by Avengers: Onslaught followed by Zack Snyder's Avengers Reborn (Zack Snyder is the movie version of 1996 Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee. Do not @ me.)

Del Toro’s Thor looks a lot like Hellboy: The Golden Army Which is not a great film, but damn it’s beautiful

Not to mention that some Christian groups, like the Nasrani in India, generally follow dietary guidelines derived from Kosher laws (considering their branch point from Catholicism/Orthodoxy was very early)

BUT HOW WILL YOU FARE, KAMEN RIDER, AGAINST MY COUNCIL OF SEVEN?

Give us Guillermo del Toro's Iron Man, you cowards! Hulk would be too obvious.

Hickman/Terrence Malick MCU get ready to stare at space and like, cells reproducing for 5 full minutes, uninterrupted buddy

If they’re going to reboot the MCU, they need to go do something absurdly high concept like “Denis Vilaneuve and Jonathan Hickman’s Marvel Universe”

Do Avengers: Onslaught you cowards

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

Ending scene is he gets bonded to Genis-Vell by the Nega Bands

“When Villeneuve and REDACTED approached Schmidt he asked Villeneuve if REDACTED was cool. REDACTED stated she was cool. Villeneuve said no, he means cool to have sex. Schmidt said no he meant cocaine.”

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

Here's to America's colours, the colours that never run.

Here's to the army and navy and the battles they have won.

You, who shake the heavens and descend from the east, all I ask in order to conquer this universe is that you grant me flesh and blood.

All I’ve been asking for which Kevin Feige won’t give me is Shang Chi 2
