  • You have ignored my question about which part of the right-wing rhetoric we should be taking seriously.

    If someone threatens my family and friends with violence and death, they get no sympathy from me. The difference is I am just a rando on the internet. Trump is potentially the 47th president of the United States. Trump has said terrible things that allude to violent insurrections and the killing of innocent people.

    But you’re right, we should take his points seriously and incorporate them into society going forward.

    Get fucked.


  • What complaint am I supposed to be taking seriously exactly?

    The one where trans people are invading women’s spaces to rape them?

    The one where immigrants are all violent criminals who eat dogs?

    Or maybe the one where women are getting abortions instead of using birth control and should not be allowed to make decisions about their own bodies?

    I am a white man. I don’t care about the complaints of white men that boil down to “I’ve been on top for so long that any attempt at equity feels like a threat to that position”.










  • Counterpoint: Thor. He blasted lightning out of his hammer, flew, didn’t require oxygen, and had godly strength. He was placed alongside: A guy who can fly in a metal suit. A guy without a jetpack who throws a shield A guy who gets big and angry A regular guy with a bow and arrow A regular chick with a gun

    At the time of this team up, Thor was still a cocky jock who had about as much character development as Captain Marvel has had to this point. But no one was concerned about Thor ruining the MCU.

    Why is Captain Marvel different?




  • By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

    What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

    The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

    You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.





  • This is a terrible article. It pays lip service the strikes, but doesn’t consider that a longer production schedule might be beneficial to the people working on the film?

    It treats 2-3 years like a terrible omen of the films reception, ignoring the 5 years between the release of Into and Across.

    If stories are true, Sony was horrible to the people who worked on the Spiderverse films. If they need to take appropriate time to release a sequel that lives up to its predecessors, without having to crunch endlessly, then Gamerant can suck it up.
