James S. Fallows @timewarpjf.bsky.social · 7hI am sick and tired of seeing this take, it's stupid. It's built on the premise that we can leave human rights till the country is good enough, that Labour needs the support of bigots so they can get enough goodwill to make the country good enough that the bigots will be fine with said human rights 100

James S. Fallows @timewarpjf.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The way Synderverse fans seem to think that Paramount buying WB means it's coming back and James Gunn is getting fired is just wild. DC was already playing catch up to Marvel but to then have to cancel the only recently started DCU to restart the DCEU would be box office suicide. 100
