I finally got to see Endgame Encore last night. I have to laugh at all the people complaining about the ending being changed and the new post-credit scenes. What did you expect? Marvel directly told us that’s what they were doing!

And as far as depicting evil in other media, in film, it's a tie for me between FMA as Salieri in Amadeus, and George Sanders as Addison DeWitt in All About Eve.

F murray abraham as Salieri, hand on heart, accepting a kiss of gratitude from Tom Hulce's Mozart

It will forever make me laugh that there was a con artist who pretended to bend spoons with his mind, and then the creators of Pokemon created a powerful psychic Pokemon who held a spoon in his hand. And then to show it was more powerful, it got more spoons as it evolved.

Was the Pete Maravich trade better for New Orleans or Atlanta? Why didn’t Moses Malone ever play for the Jazz? Find the answers to these questions and more in my latest blog post! sportsandsuperheroes.blogspot.com/2026/09/1975...

If you haven’t seen Bernie it’s a Richard Linklater movie that is maybe the best Jack Black performance where he’s not just being Jack Black, well worth watching!

And here's the problem: the Mormon Church allows abortion under the common exceptions ... but lots of individual Mormons do not. Idaho's laws are stricter than the church because voters are stricter than the church (and, by their own reasoning, God).

One of the great failures of the NBA is that the Houston Rockets have never had a good logo or uniform. It shouldn’t be hard to do something interesting with a rocket.

In the waning moments of Batman Day, let us relive the month I got into Batman.

Batman becomes a giant in “The Colossus of Gotham City!”

Batman and Robin become extraterrestrials in “The Eighth Wonder of Space!”

As Batman and Robin watch helplessly, Superman is teleported away and replaced by a weird creature in “The Creature That Was Exchanged for Superman!”

Superman, Batman, and Robin meet for the first time on the cover of the first Secret Origins.

If you’re going to make a commercial about famous sports meltdowns, you should pay the licensing fee to actually show the real jerseys so you don’t have to awkwardly digitally alter them.

It’s been said before, and it’ll be said again, but that Monster Energy Big 12 logo is hideous and the perfect representation of everything wrong with college football. “Let’s stick yet another inescapable ad in this 3-hour event of nonstop ads!”

Yesterday, someone I followed went on a long, bitter rant about how he would never see Coyote vs. Acme no matter how many people told him it was good. I found the tone distasteful and pedantic. I almost unfollowed them, but decided to give them another chance.

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

On the bridge of the Enterprise. Data is at his console, stoically pushing buttons. Picard is walking past, his hands clasped beyond his back. Troi is blurry but visible in the background. In blue text, we can see the episode title: "The Next Phase."

I read the Wall Street Journal obituary of Dolly Parton. It presented her as a savvy businesswoman, but only had one passing line about how she once received an award for her philanthropy. Pretty much what you’d expect from that paper.

Star Trek TNG, S5E23: Geordi adopts a stray Borg drone, but Picard won't let him keep it. 10/10, an episode so good that Trek would spend years revisiting its ideas while simultaneously undermining them

Crusher, Riker, and Worf are on an away mission, standing next to the wreckage of a Borg ship. Crusher is crouched over the body of an injured drone, scanning it with her tricorder, while the others watch. Snow covers the ground, but no one looks cold. In blue text we see the episode title: "I Borg," which feels like it should have a comma in-between those two words, but it doesn't.

I’ve said for a long time, don’t listen to what the LDS church says about immigrants. Watch what they DO. Being a Minnesotan during the 🧊 raids, I watched many churches stand up and practice what they preach. Not the Mormon church though. Their silence is deafening. #exmo

A little girl, (Clara, maybe 8 years old?) is in the arboretum, which looks like a normal room with an unusually high number of house plants. She looks confused.
