“This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine.”

BULLSHIT...she reversed to the left to angle away from him and then spun the wheel to the right to angle even more away from him when she was moving forward. He leaned over the hood to shoot her in the face and then fired two shots into the passenger window to execute her. Never even dropped his phone during this "murder" attempt. Well, I guess he did his job. She'll never be murdered by an illegal now.

What did she do that was "crazy"? Get scared when a rent-a-cop drew his gun on her?

I think I hate this tangent more than I've hated anything in my entire life.

I think the guy was looking for an excuse to get his gun off. I think the woman was panicking because she was suddenly surrounded by federal agents who were yelling at her. All he had to do was step aside...which he did. But he wanted to feel like a big man...so he executed an American citizen that he was supposed to be protecting. We need to stop putting guns & badges in the hands of the biggest pussies on the face of the planet.

I think there is some "third thing" about the Depressed Middle-Aged Conservatives Who Hate Everything movement that I haven't noticed yet. There's obvious incentives like the dopamine spikes and well-documented phenomena like the Male Loneliness Epidemic, but I feel like there's some third thing. Perhaps physiological. It's hard for me to comprehend that there's a few million men whose only joy in life is looking forward to the next Disney announcement that they can complain about. Anyway, I'm looking forward to rewatching PREDATOR: BADLANDS on streaming.

Comics have VASTLY improved in the [checks notes] NINE years since I talked about Riri Williams. Anyone who denies that is probably trying to sell you something. Like a plushie of themselves 😂

Literally EVERYONE is talking about the scarcity issues with AI that this Carny Barker says "nobody" is talking about. There's an article that touches on these points almost every day in the Wall Street Journal. But what he said sounds smart to dumb people and that's what gets them to buy 4 copies of every book he shits out.

Jesus CHRIST...you're not "cancelled". People just don't like you.

THE STUDIO Mini-Review I feel like this kind of cynical take on Hollywood has been done a million times, but I still enjoy this show. Unlike all of the boring sci-fi "masterpieces" on APPLE TV, I actually like watching it. PS I don't give a fuck if you don't like Seth Rogen. Keep it to yourself.

Such a cool franchise.

Bloody HELL...This is AMAZING! BTW- I no longer think that this will be a 2-5 year fad. I think this will have staying power as an ALTERNATE version of Batman (like the Adam West and TDKR versions).

This was really good too.

This was pretty good.

Comics are so COOL these days...

This game is the TITS. Big thanks to YellowFlash for hipping it to me.

I just watched the SUPERGIRL trailer for the second time and I STILL didn't see Lobo. But apparently...he's in it.

I'm not the target audience for SUPERGIRL. I didn't find her funny in SUPERMAN. But I'll watch it if Lobo has an actual part in the movie and isn't just a glorified cameo.

DAREDEVIL #284 Mini-Review "Some busted-up life Daredevil left behind in New York. Couldn't BEAT my enemies, so I BEAT my friends." One of the recurring bits in Ann Nocenti's DAREDEVIL run is people pulling Irish Farewells. Instead of making a big fuss, characters will simply just walk away when people aren't noticing. In this issue, Daredevil pulls an Irish Hello in which he casually walks back into NYC as if his life wasn't in complete shambles when he left. Coincidentally, the press has finally noticed Daredevil's absence. There are several interesting metatextual occurrences in this issue. The issue begins with the narrator stating that DD has spent the last few months in Upstate New York and "the Netherworld itself" as if those were just two different points on a map. But Matt doesn't trust his own memories and assumes that it was all a dream. Being back in his old neighborhood seems to trigger a slow-motion nervous breakdown. DD's mental instability seems to be common knowledge in Hell's Kitchen, so much so that a local wino knows exactly what bar Daredevil hangs out in when he's feeling daffy. Multiple concussions don't exactly help DD's precarious mental state. A bemused Bullseye can't believe his luck at finding a defenseless DD in such a debilitated condition that he allows himself to be unmasked. While Lee Weeks has done covers for this run before, this is his first issue doing interiors and even his "rough" early style is confident and assured in itself. This is the final arc in Ann's run and it's a good one. RECOMMEND.

GREAT interview with Ann Nocenti. Although the interview is only 16 minutes long, it somehow manages to be a career retrospective, while also giving detail that I've never heard before in any of her other previous interviews while also talking about some very exciting news about upcoming books of hers. [NOTE: although the video title is in Spanish, the entire interview is conducted in English.] https://youtu.be/LITsXO7ojzw

Marvel has changed a bit since I started collecting comics in the 1980s.
