Here's my take on SM:BND. You won't need as many Kleenex as you did for No Way Home. There was a few "in the feels" moments. Some parts made me really laugh. Enough call-backs to high school Peter to make me happy. And enough holes filled and threads left hanging for a MCU outing.

Seeing the news use phrases like almost 1000 days or more than 1000 days since the last budget bill made me think about Anne of a Thousand Days. And I am wondering, will we have a budget by September 9th?

Per the DTH: "NC House & Senate leaders...have come to an agreement." It includes a 3% "average" raise for state employees (& a $1750 bonus for employees under $65k/yr and $1k for over $65k). Also "none of these raises will be retroactive & would take effect when the budget it passed."

@heatedpod.bsky.social just finished listening to your new drop and 2 things: Ryan's overdose could be played as being another way Ilya spirals down. If Ryan is someone he gets super close to and then sees him die, it could be a final straw.

Ran across a still from Sebastian Stan's forthcoming movie, Fjord, and man, that makeup job. Holy Cow. He looks like Alton Brown. No release date yet, but it's in post-production. Anyway, I still need to finish (after tracking down where they're streaming) some of his early works.

Got in the mood to re-watch the Multi-verse Saga and have watched WandaVision & am on the last episode of FatWS. Good Lawd, the Sam raining montage. Also, I don't care what "canon" is, I really think that boat repair scene belongs in a RomCom. SMOLDERING looks from both! BUCKYBUCKYBUCKY! 👽🤖🧙‍♂️ 🦾❤️💪🏿

I also wonder about property crime vs violent crime. One of those I'm much more willing to be lenient since a lot of times that's because persons are drawn to property crime by desperation.

Ok ppl. In Thunderbolts*, the Void only covers Manhattan. Ergo it's safe to assume Kate, Stephen, Matt, Jessica, Frank, Danny & Luke got sucked in. Wilson Fisk too. You know what didn't get Voided: Brooklyn, Queens & Jersey. So Peter & Kamala were likely safe. (My sad map below).

Reading a fanfic where Darcy is sent to 1942 Brooklyn. The author keeps talking about how Bucky and Steve think she's in her underwear bc she's in mid-thigh shorts. He's also thinking he's never seen lipstick that red. Uh. See example of shorts from the 40s and 40s lipstick. It's 1940s not 1840s 🙄

38 to 10. Proud to be a Clemson Auntie this afternoon. I might be Tar Heel born and Tar Heel bred, but I also came of age during the 80s when I recall the word "Smurfs" being used to describe the football team. So I've just collected other football teams over the years (Go Blue, Fight Tigers!)
