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.

One possibility would be that Hol doesn't think the screenshots cross the line to use the same language with Ed Piskor as we would with Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby or the people covered in Quiet on...

This would be relevant if what was said about him online and the related actions in the last few weeks of his life (the local news going to his parents' house, Fantagraphics cutting ties, long-time...

I was thinking when reading the discussion on whether Kingpin hates Daredevil or Spider-Man more that it would be interesting to do a story where the Kingpin is actually taken down, and stays down...

I gotta agree here. The biggest thing people can do to make discourse better is to call out bullshitters whether it's on their side or the other side.

It also literally contributed to a suicide by...

Daredevil.

He views Spider-Man as naive, and may be concerned about brute strength.

Yeah, the protests are not effective.

A problem for the party is that people are passionate for something that is not popular, even within the party. Ameliorating protestors who want to reward...

You're still wrong about what I said.

Here's the claim you were responding to.

I believe that you mischaracterized my post.

Here's what I originally said. I'm putting in bold my comments...

One point is that it also creates some incentives for outrageous behavior. The lone hung juror would probably get a bigger deal.

I think I could. I'm generally able to compartmentalize, and to understand important legal distinctions like the difference between reasonable doubt and more likely than not, or even the difference...

You mischaracterized my post. I said "parental rights movement" is a vague term. You just quoted it. So you can see that I wasn't making a comment about conservative bigotry being vague.

It seems...

It seems possible that she'll have some significant support from Russian ratfuckers, but this speculation may be based on overestimating her intelligence.

She's one of the most pathetic...

Looking into this, I discovered some things about the internet that are admirable and some that are not.

The guy's substack post is available online, but the major media is not linking to it,...

True. In addition, facts can come out that can change the reasonable response to a story.

The reception to Michael Avenatti is different now than it was when he announced that he was representing...

The untruths could also affect your personal reputation and what things you get invited to.

A convention manager might think a lie online is true, and decide that a creator won't get invited to...
