There's no right to disinformation, but someone is going to have to determine what counts and what doesn't.

If there's a Ministry of Truth or something similar, the order to create the agency will...

I saw this online.

For context, the left is the first Gentleman of South Dakota, the center is Corey Lewandowski and the right is a doggy.

Readers should have already be aware that Marvel can split up Peter and MJ at a minute's notice. Otherwise they're ignorant about the basics of internal workings of the industry.

I think most of the people who don't like the current run will be happy if there are well-told stories where Peter and MJ are back together.

Is this about her comments about killing a dog that wouldn't behave? That was gross.

I've heard two theories on why she said something so stupid. The first is that she does not want to be Trump's...

It's an obvious enough move to go with a long-form interview with someone friendly who won't sandbag the president. Stern also has appeal to swing voters, has a reputation for integrity, and no...

The headline that she's more popular than Beyonce seems misleading since a big difference is that Beyonce's unfavorable rating is much lower (26 VS 52.) As hard as it is to imagine, about a quarter...

One issue with McCarthy is that Democrats felt that he was an unreliable negotiating partner. At the moment, it seems they trust Johnson to keep his word.

I'm trying to figure out the mechanics...

The legal issue with Tiktok is not about misinformation, but about the way the Chinese government could make Bytedance hand over the data of American citizens.

Sure, but even in that context there's significant editorial discretion. There's also the question of what the non-partisan news ( to distinguish the evening news from Fox News or Daily Kos) should...

Interesting point on how access to films changes things.

In the past, major films did have more theatrical revivals so you could easily have actors competing on the big screen with their biggest...

The media will have a tough time reaching people who don't care about politics, since by definition, they're the ones not currently watching the programs dealing with current events.

If the media...

An odd recommendation is the first 20 minutes of Joe Rogan's interview with Tucker Carlson.

It just shows how insane Carlson is. He talks about how he got radicalized by intelligence agencies...

Come to think of it, at the moment it is Tombstone. He won the gang war.

Today I saw Spider-Man 2 again on the big screen.

And I realized that the apartment complex I've lived in for the last thirty years in is in the background in one scene.

There are plenty of educated bigots out there, though. Don't get me wrong. Education helps avoid some of the problems caused by ignorance or a lack of developed reasoning but we can look at the...

I might use this thread as an excuse to read and comment on duck comics.

I've read plenty, but there's so much more. Carl Barks is obviously a genius, but Don Rosa built on it exceptionally.

It's not just a question of what films will hold up as consistent entries into Top 100 lists or something.

What films would not seem out of place if sold in a box set of classics, if played on a...

It's better than "Guilty" though.

And it allows for an argument that the prosecution didn't have enough of a case.

I've talked about bigotry before.

But you haven't explained to me why I...

I think it's worse for him to be found guilty.

If he's found Not Guilty, Republicans will have arguments about the process being the punishment and Democrats using lawfare against a politician...

In Back in Black, we saw what happened when he's pushed too far.

Is Summer Lee really that well-known?

In this case, the brunt of the attacks would come from the establishment not from the far right.



I didn't suggest they were the only three (and linked...

It's mutually beneficial, but Nods has a good point that they can make a lot of money elsewhere.

There is also a risk that it would be bad for their reputations if they come back to Marvel, and it...

I had a discussion with my brother on older movies, and one question that came up was how old films have to be in order to be considered classics?

This is a bit of a shifting target, because at...

AOC wants the constituents of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz to thank them for voting against sending aid to Israel.
