It doesn't have to be 30 issues at #1, but Marvel does want to see if the book can sustain its success before making long-term decisions for Amazing Spider-Man.

One thing they have access to that...

"Go back to Poland" would seem to imply that the speaker thinks what happened to Polish Jews is a good thing.

Pence's job was to be boring, to leave people with the impression that the rest of...

Writing for the New York Times, Ezra Klein looks an absurd situation in San Francisco where it took $1.7 million and two years to install a public toilet. He highlights the response by a bureaucrat...

They might think it's unnecessarily abrasive.

Eh, it would seem that the six months of Peter's life getting better is more compelling than just to the point where everything's going great.

I...

The smart thing to do for Marvel would be to wait a little while to see if this book continues to be a major success. So they're not going to make major decisions for Amazing Spider-Man based on the...

Recently, I've started rereading the Bruce Jones run of the Incredible Hulk. It got initial critical acclaim, and seemed inspired by the 1970s TV show (at the time, the most high-profile Hulk...

On a Nerdist list of top Superman runs, the Triangle era was in first place.

This was a bit of a surprise to me because I was under the impression this wasn't considered a great period of...

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...
