Took my daughter to see Endgame Encore, which may have been the ur-MCU movie, in that it corrects any emotional investment you may have accidentally experienced by editing the ending to tee up a sequel

Enough time has passed since Bonnie Tyler died that I think we can admit that a streetwise Hercules white knight Superman upon a fiery steed is kind of a hat on a hat.

Not the funniest part of this but I like that the guy used "Pope" like it's a name.

I don't know about "never topped" but as I've said before, this is absolutely the comic strip equivalent of a rookie ballplayer coming out for his first ever at-bat, in the bottom of the ninth, in the playoffs, with the bases loaded, and hitting a first pitch walk-off grand slam.

I think I feel about Andrew Bird the way every other urban white person in my age cohort feels about The Mountain Goats.

A teacher at an open night spoke to my daughter for five minutes then took my wife aside and told her "I think your daughter might be autistic." Torn between "wow bold move five minutes in" and "I mean you happen to be right though, good catch."

It looks like my daughter doesn't know how to pronounce "fascism," it took me a while to figure out why every time I told her she has to do something like pick up after herself she responded "fassism, you're doing fassism"

Discovery glazing Musk drives me nuts because even if you take all his hype at face value, it makes no sense. He's not a theory guy! He doesn't claim to be! The only thing he could contribute to space travel is business infrastructure, and in Star Trek society collapsed before warp was discovered.

It's weird how the MCU movies clearly want you to think Captain America saying "I can do this all day" is this big iconic moment they should keep calling back to. I just kept going "wait, is that a thing he says? I don't remember that."

A thing I find interesting in US politics is how conservatives have a way, way better case that a third-party candidate tanked their chances across two straight presidential elections, but you never hear them talk like this. From liberals, it's constant.

I refuse to acknowledge a song as an uncontestable part of the cultural zeitgeist until Weird Al does a parody. Talk to me when he drops "Refusin' Tex-Mex" or "Cruisin' Lexus" or something of that nature. I dunno, he's the artist, I'm not gonna tell him his job.

There's a brief 60s X-Men plot where Jean leaves the team for college and has a normal guy boyfriend. He gets sorta forgotten about but I like to think years later Dark Phoenix is hovering over NY screaming that she is fire and life incarnate and he's like "oh that's crazy, I used to date that girl"

Spock's "pretending he's not an alien" fit is pretty close to my basic everyday look. Not really a complaint, just an observation.
Spock in "City on the Edge of Forever." He looks good, very fashionable.

This was my experience as well; an almost immediate reply from my right-leaning TD expressing his serious misgivings.

When I emailed my TDs about the immigration changes they all responded within minutes to hours. Obviously they were rote responses but I get the feeling that if enough people get in touch it might cause them to wobble. It seems to be happening somewhat in some of the statements coming out lately.

I like when the recipe says "juice of one lime" (as opposed to like 2 tbsp lime juice). Makes me feel like I'm crafting a witch's brew instead of a taco casserole.

You read this title and you're like "how are guys named Alan not constantly milking this" then you read the article and you're like "okay I can see how they might not want to call too much attention to it'
Alan (legendary creature)

The Alan are deformed spirits from the folklore of the Tinguian tribe of the Philippines. They have wings and can fly, and their fingers and toes point backwards.

The Alan are said to take drops of menstrual blood, miscarried fetuses, afterbirth, or other reproductive waste and transform them into human children, whom they then raise as their own. They live near springs in extremely fine houses, made of gold and other valuables.

I think one of the reasons fascism is hard to wrap your head around is because it's both deadly serious and also fucking ridiculous. I don't think the brain handles something this stupid that it can't dismiss very well, there's no good bucket to put it in.

I have such a weak spot for TV shows that could only exist between the fall of the Soviet Union and 9/11. Watching an episode of SG-1 where a foolish senator wants to cut the military budget just because they can't prove there's an imminent threat.

Pretty much every change Claremont made to Magneto made him more interesting, but I do love a recurring Kirby bit where Magneto, believing himself to be superior to everyone else, mouths off to the wrong guy and gets a swift lesson in humility.

I got an email from Revolut about how they've updated their terms and conditions. The subject said "action required." Then the body said that the action required was to either be happy with the update and do nothing, or if I don't like it, close my account.

Any discourse about the justifiability of a riot or violent protest should understand where the bar is set.
The Straw Hat Riot of 1922 was a riot that occurred in New York City at the end of summer as a result of unwritten rules in men's fashions at the time, and a tradition of taunting people who had failed to stop wearing straw hats after autumn began. Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to youths choosing to harass men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15. It lasted eight days, leading to many arrests and some injuries.
