There’s no reason the Reeves/Pattinson Batman can’t fit into the James Gunn DCU. Peacemaker shows they can have projects that are wildly different from one another while not worrying about franchise continuity.

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."

What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.

If Disney and Paramount start acting like WB (Universal has been doing its part) we might actually have a thriving theatrical movie business again.

The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.

I have very nice people on my timeline today saying "Ashli Babbit's grave should be dug up and her corpse should be tossed into a ditch by the next administration," a sentiment with which I agree, and I am pretty far from alone. Lotsa room in that ditch too

If you went to the No Kings protests, every blue-haired lib grandma there wanted revenge. Not bending the moral arc blah blah blah—vengeance. As I keep saying, everyone knew what calling your enemies Nazis implies about their future. Yet the only politician I've heard speak about payback is Pritzker

There’s always going to be some things in the past that actually were better, but to focus on those parts while ignoring everything else is silly. Like it’s actually amazing I can watch 99% of the movies that have ever been made whenever and wherever I want. Living in the future rules.
