I say this all the time. Wish fulfilment in comics is a lot more than just power fantasies.

They're not nerds. They might be fans, but they're suits who were bros. They've always wanted the egg without feeding the goose, even when the egg is guaranteed gold; paying workers is sin. In their partial defense, they did make the epic games launcher, so maybe they should hate their programmers

Copyright is a tool that primarily serves corporate interests. If you're looking for an explanation of why piracy was punished in the 90s and permitted now, there you go.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

This will work way better than is reasonable, because grocery suits do not think about money in a reasonable or rational way. They are heavily concerned with looking profitable over actually being profitable; they would rather make $16 on $10 than $23 on $15.

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace.”

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Bobby Mars on Twitter writes: "If you wear a collared shirt and nice shoes out to the bar in the rust belt, multiple people will ask you if you just came from a wedding. Aesthetic standards for men’s attire are horrendously low"

God I wish I was involved with the Jimmy Olsen show because this looks amazing. I have no, repeat no inside information and I don't know what the story is here at all, but I've been thinking of it as "The Grodduate."

Apparently a set photo from the upcoming Jimmy Olsen tv show. A sullen gorilla (Grodd? Maybe?) wearing a cap and gown is walking upright, carrying a stunt performer.

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie

Donald Trump posts an image on his Truth Social account. It shows a new uniform for US Space Force members, comprising of an all-black outfit with knee-high black leather boots, black cap, and minimalist looking suit.

You would have to pick a metric or set of metrics to judge objectively by, and then be sure that metric was measured relatively objectively and representatively, and decide that that was representative of the whole picture. If you look at TV prices, it's never been better. Rent, not so much.

First time homeowners are way down. Age of first time homeowners is substantially up. Economic floor of first time homeowners is way up. Average age of homebuyer is climbing. Interest rates are still high, although off peak. The vibes are rancid, and you won't check the pantry for smells.

This is the economic equivalent of saying that there's no global warming because it's cold outside. It doesn't even prove you're wrong, but what goes into it is so complicated that pointing to this as proof just shows you aren't really thinking about it, you just think you found a gotcha.

Actual adult people who work in the mainstream press talk to this guy and take him seriously. He's a white supremacist, yes, but he's also just a premium sexless dork.

Richard Hanania: The point of a game like Grand Theft Auto is to identify with the character.

By making a female character, the new game will be promoting autogynephilia.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, and if they make her bisexual then the game won’t necessarily be unhealthy.
