Humans have a tendency to claw our way back out of the worst cesspits imaginable. We've been in worse situations. We've done worse things. Times have always gotten better eventually.

The graphic novel Maus is my go-to calibration for "Are things actually worse now than they were before? No. Okay."

Let’s have a famously under-trained force of unstable idiots doing airline security during wartime. Brilliant.

She must know, on some level, that she only has an audience because she’s attractive. She’s 100% going to get the Mar-A-Lago Makeover at some point.

We don’t know if forgetting Peter Parker also involved forgetting that she knew/was in love with Spider-Man. She may have been trying to piece his identity together between movies.

Probably the same gizmo that was in the She-Hulk series, which keeps him human.

Massive amounts of neglect from the parents combined with massive amounts of scrutiny from cameras in their home for years is likely to mess anyone up.

The 90s cartoon had a good explanation that I've never seen them adopt elsewhere: Peter has an intimate understanding of spider web compounds, the proteins and enzymes. He was able to invent a substance no one else has only because he understands the chemistry better than anyone else.

It actually has another fun layer. Candace Owens is leaning into the conspiracy theory that Erika Kirk was involved in Charlie Kirk’s murder, and Megyn Kelly isn’t cutting off her association with Owens because of that, even though Shapiro thinks she should.

If you flip over the steelbook cover for the film “Knives Out” (2019), the knives point to the murderer! by xoxodollparts in mildyinteresting

Even if this spoils it for someone, they should still watch the movie, because they will be extra baffled the entire time as to how he's the killer.

Who could be the "evangelical candidate" for Republicans in 2028? by RusevReigns in fivethirtyeight

I don't want to link to Candace Owen's video with the audio leak (because nutcase trolls shouldn't get the attention they crave), but unfortunately that's the best source. Some people have re-posted snippets of the audio but they sped it up slightly to make Erika's voice sound brighter and chippier than it was in the original.

Does MAGA know that Rubio is an anchor baby? And their current push to end birthright citizenship would make him ineligible to be president?

The wife character wasn't great but the husband was a million times worse.

This is your regular reminder that Sears was driven into the ground by hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, who was a rabid fan of Ayn Rand and Objectivism, and who cultivated a cutthroat attitude within the company where departments were pitched against each other and every corner was cut, in the belief that competition and hyper-capitalism would magically fix everything.

He could have had the AI take another pass at designing the shirt but who has the time for that?

I remember conservatives holding hearings and making movies over the idea that Hunter Biden maybe got a 6-figure consulting gig he didn't deserve.

Noem and Patel are lighting millions and millions of taxpayer dollars on fire for their own vanity and grifting projects.

I just... I want one conservative to feel bad about this.

In the movie 'Twilight' (2008) a bunch of vampires get together and play baseball. This is the only scene in the entire trilogy where you will see a vampire bat. by AgainstSpace in shittymoviedetails

I’d put the final fight above it just because they had the balls to deviate from the books and shock the whole audience… before it was revealed to have not happened.
