i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Extreme whiplash to get to episode 8 of Strange New Worlds this season and realize they apparently could have just been making normal Star Trek episodes this whole time

everything about the jacob geller allegations is deeply upsetting and traumatising, from the details themselves to their being publicised on twitter by third party texts seemingly without any consultation with the victim to the armchair detective posting that followed

The more I hear about Wolverine, the more I think like a good 60% of that game’s issues could have been fixed by simply making a Magik game instead

Things I wish I knew when I was younger, from someone in her mid-30s: 1. You’re never too young to start taking Metamucil. 2. Sunscreen, every day, even if it’s cloudy. 3. Never open the door at 3 am, no matter what you hear from or see on the other side. 4. Always try to read a lil’ before bed!

Bojack is the most wild choice here. Not because it isn’t deserving (it is), but because its inclusion means they were open to animated shows, and yet Bojack is literally the only one on the list.

It bothers me that Lanterns is actually good, because A) I do not want to hand it to Tom King, and B) You mean to tell me they could have done this at any point since 2011 instead of just shelving their most interesting mythology?

Was tempted to buy the new Wolverine against my better judgment just cuz I felt like a hack & slash starting a guy in a cool supersuit. Then I remembered I already own Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, and 3 on Steam. Anyway, I’m only 90 minutes in and I just fought Dr. Eggman on top of an airship.

Started Lanterns. I really don’t know how you can be mad at this show unless you somehow didn’t go in expecting a mid-budget small town police procedural. You need to rely on the dialogue to carry shows like that, so making the subtext all abt micro aggressions and dogwhistles makes A LOT of sense.

The hidden danger w/corpo AI use is that even “modest” or controlled adoption can poison a system. The C-suite will push a new tool that they proclaim cuts the work in half, using it as an excuse to either double workloads or fire staff (never to lighten a workload). The tool, ofc, does not do this.

My embarrassing fun fact is I’ve always kinda thought about naming a potential future son Cal, ostensibly after my grandfather but really after Superman. Luckily my SIL saved me the embarrassment by stealing the name first, which I’m definitely grateful for and not salty about at all 😡

Thinking abt Pluribus and how the hivemind seems genuinely excited (and not in their normal placating way) when Carol shows them a draft for a new book. It’s such a clever detail that they would show actual, selfish interest for what must be their first piece of “new content” since the show started

Playing Scarlet Witch in Midnight Suns and realizing that a slam dunk retcon for the MCU would be to explain that the whole series thus far has been in a post "No More Mutants" world.

Weird how Sony wants to eliminate physical game discs and yet also specializes in these short little movie games you can beat in a long weekend. S/O to the Family Video I used to rent games from back in college.

I like Wolverine well enough, but lowkey I dunno how Mr. Knives-for-Hands ended up becoming the de facto mascot for the team with the teleporting “demon”, the child soldier with lasers-for-eyes, and the literal weather goddess 🤷‍♀️

I’m not doing great after the AfD’s results in Saxony-Anhalt, so shortly after securing my German citizenship. Germany was supposed to be a parachute for me & now I feel stuck between a rock & a hard place. The whole world is veering into a dark place & I don’t rly have any clever commentary rn.

Tbh the thing I keep going back to after finishing the LOTR books is Sauron subtly manipulating Denethor to give up on beating him by adjusting his Palantir’s “algorithm” to show him only factually true but also depressing/alarming information. Man doomscrolled too hard 😭

Playing Midnight Suns Everyone for some reason: I can't wait to destroy that gross, stinky Venom monster. Peter: Hey, that's like...a guy? W/a redemption arc? Everyone except Blade: It will be so satisfying to KILL him! Blade: I think we should listen to SPIDER-MAN abt Venom? Me: That's my GOAT

Weird bit of possible dropped foreshadowing I noticed in JMS Spider-Man. There’s an issue where it’s clear something is messing with Pete’s head, & in one panel, he calls himself “we” by accident. Then a few arcs later, he’s back in the (cloth) black suit. Wonder if there was a cut Symbiote arc here
A panel from ASM (1999) #522 in which Spider-Man refers to himself as “we” by accident

Finished the JMS Spidey run. Regret to say that it rly falls off in the back-half, & for more than Sins Past and OMD. Civil War just isn’t much to my taste, and The Other is bloated and kinda ruins Morlun imo. But it’s well worth reading at least until Ezekiel exits the scene. Love the school stuff!
