To my dying day I will believe the original line was "Are you telling me this fucker is nuclear?" and I will not hear otherwise.
Oh my god, Grimes had to track his plane to serve Elon custody papers.
NOW WE KNOW WHY HE SHUT THAT ACCOUNT DOWN.
Grimes hired process servers to serve Elon Musk custody papers, and one even tried private jet tracking, something he has criticized in the past.

Here's a fun one:
Did you know that before digital projectors, sometimes in the middle of a showing movies used to catch on fucking FIRE?
Ooooohhh I just remembered what Young Avengers: Children's Crusade was about oh those sneaky bastards they planned this
The villain was weak, sadly. It's a shame they killed off Ronan because this would have been Lee Pace's moment to shine. He'd have been a much better fit.
But the villain's incidental. This is Carol, Monica and Kamala's movie.
I do feel like the film was *judiciously* edited. I'd even go so far as to call it "hacked down" because it's clear there was a lot more.
But on the other hand there's something to be said for a fun ninety minute ride.
The Marvels:
Yeah, that was fine. I had fun. The evacuation sequence got a straight up laugh out of me. Not a great film but a pretty good one.
Looking forward to Champions, eventually ...
So far in our playthrough, we've explored weird places and talked at least two bad guys into self-destructing.
Is this Baldur's Gate 3 or Star Trek?

The United States military's primary contribution to anime has been inflicting generational trauma on the population that endures to this day.
So Warner Bros seems committed to a strategy of making entertainment media explicitly to generate tax cuts.
Why in the fuck would anyone want to work with them on a project?
The animated feature was greenlit as an HBO Max film before being considered for a theatrical release.

We've been hearing for a decade that self-driving cars were right around the corner.
The trouble is that if there's also a child around the corner, that child is gonna die.
Cruise, General Motors’ self-driving division, knew its cars sometimes had problems detecting children — but kept the vehicles on the road.
theintercept.comI mean Thiel was going to come gunning for Gawker no matter what, but gifting him the murder weapon remains one of the biggest own-goals in journalism history.
Further, when testifying in the lawsuit, don't make jokes about publishing CSAM on the stand in front of the jury.
AJ Daulerio testifies at trial over Hulk Hogan tape, and says only case where a sex tape would not be newsworthy is if it was of a child under age four
www.theguardian.com
I get yelled at about this a lot, but:
While Peter Thiel's role in the death of Gawker (which led to today's death of Jezebel) is well documented, maybe you shouldn't publish someone's non-public sex tape without permission for no real journalistic reason beyond pointing and laughing.
One of the weirdest things about owning a cat is that you will always swear you see the cat out of the corner of your eye for the rest of your life.
Oh yeah, the ending was like a diabetic in a Coldstone Creamery.
I couldn't watch the ending of Afterlife because my eyes rolled up into my skull when the old guys showed up.
But with Afterlife, stuff like the mini-Stay Puft Marshmellow Men don't make any sense as a punchline. The reason he was in the first movie was because Ray's brain fucked up.
In Afterlife, they're just there mainly as nostalgia bait. They're not a joke, they're an attempted dopamine hit.
Frozen Empire looks even more deadly serious than Afterlife, and Afterlife already had trouble blending the comedy with the ghostbusting stuff.
Say what you will about Ghostbusters 2, but fighting the bad guy with the Statue of Liberty wired to a NES controller was *funny.*
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was ... okay. It had good moments. It had *bad* moments. But it should have just been the end of it.
Like for years and years everybody wanted Ghostbusters 3 and now that we got it we really don't want Ghostbusters 4.
his should have been a jury trial, but Trump's lawyers didn't file the paperwork correctly.
Now they're objecting to their own evidence.
I cannot *wait* for the Jan 6th trial. www.rawstory.com/trump-fraud-...

First, what should have been a jury trial isn't a jury trial because Trump's lawyers neglected to file the correct paperwork.
Now they're objecting to their own evidence.

Reminder that for some inexplicable reason, the majority of political polling in the United States is still based on voice calls to land lines.
It's like still using rabbits to test for pregnancy.
Meanwhile here's the Doctor from an infinitely older spacefairing society showing up and saying "Right, whose society will we dismantle today?"
Not really. It never matters if you skip a Marvel thing, they usually give a concise recap to catch you up.
But in this case I think The Marvels skipped Secret Invasion, too.
So it seems like Marvel stealthed some big pivotal plot shit into The Marvels, but the low buzz on the film prompted them to drop a few bigger spoilers in the final trailer.
Dunno if it will work, but i'm intruiged.
Then again, I was gonna see it no matter what.
First issue's already out; looks like it's going to be a nice tight six issue limited series so it won't bust your bank. Pick it up now or wait for the collection.
Personally I'm enjoying the serialization and waiting to find out what happens next ...
Think "Dexter by way of Richard Scarry" and you've got about the basic premise.
It sounds like it should be fairly goofy, but it's presented in a really compelling, really hypnotic fashion. The artwork's delightful and the writing is just fucking unnerving.
Mentioned this on the show last night:
I barely read comics anymore; the only one I really pick up regularly anymore is Saga. So it was on a whim I took a look at Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees.
I love this thing. It's been my nicest surprise since The Stuff of Legend.
I'm sorry ... TWO HBO projects, a documentary and a TV series.
Both about Musk.
Seems like an important conflict of interest to disclose.
Further, why doesn't the article contain a disclaimer that Ashlee Vance is currently working on an HBO project based on his biography of Elon Musk?
Musk does not give real access. He never has.
He gives controlled access. He lets the press see what he wants them to see. Always.
Access journalism is never journalism.
Why doesn't the article contain a disclaimer that Ashlee Vance is a Musk biographer?
I love how nowhere in this fawning "reporting" does it mention it was written by Musk's biographer.
Elon Musk is preparing for the most consequential launch of his career. But this one isn’t rocket science—it’s brain surgery.
An exclusive look at Neuralink, the billionaire's brain-implant startup, which is about to begin human trials.
Neuralink has FDA clearance to start messing with people’s heads—and not just figuratively.

Probably. Still doesn't change how fucked The Escapist is now.
Also he doesn't own the rights to Zero Punctuation. :D

I think of the idea of having a kid while trying to pay rent eternally, surviving for-profit health care and requiring two incomes just to support a subsitence standard of living and I don't question why the birth rate is low.
I question why it isn't *zero.*
... you're serious
U.S. birthrates are at all-time lows.
So why aren’t there more only children? In our search for answers, we found clues to a bigger mystery: Why aren’t millennials having kids?
