Whatever do you mean? How else are they supposed to tell shareholders that there has been a massive surge in applications, so they are, of course, a good place to work?

I agree with much of what Alex has to say, but I do think it’s important to remember that these shows are not produced in short enough order to respond to the pace of events in the news today.

To go back to my earlier question, you obviously wrote this show not knowing what the outcome of the presidential election was going to be. But how has it been for you, knowing that this twist was coming, and watching the real world edge closer to Earth X more than anybody would have anticipated? [Long pause] I think I don’t know how to answer the question. Obviously, there are many things in the world I’m not happy with. I’m not so narcissistic as to think of the world in relationship to my TV show. I mean, there’s weird things with this show. There were weird things with “Superman.” Absolutely 100% of that movie was written and done before anything ever happened between Israel and Palestine, and everyone continues to refuse to believe that that’s not what it’s about. It’s not. It just isn’t. You can take whatever you want from that, to mean what you want, but I didn’t write it to be a stand in for Israel and Palestine.

Do you feel the same way about this season of “Peacemaker”? I mean, you’ll see some things next episode where, of course, there’s parallels. We’ve seen more racism lately, right? Is that because there’s more racism or because it’s more OK to be out in the open? It’s probably the latter. That’s obviously fucking discouraging. And if my stupid TV show has anything to do with people being like, “Oh, maybe I should be more aware of my prejudices,” great. But that isn’t what I write the show for. I write the show for the emotional angle, just like I wrote “Superman” to be about kindness. If there was a sociopolitical aspect of “Superman,” it’s that there has been an absence of kindness and understanding and loving a human being, no matter what their thoughts or feelings are.

I know there's a corporate line to think about, but if James Gunn is going to write about countries invading Middle Eastern-looking countries in his movies and then Nazi dimensions in his TV shows, he needs to own up to them not being entirely divorced from reality variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Under the Helmet: Peacemaker, The Comedian, And John Cena Have More In Common Than You May Think | Comic Book Club There's a lot more in common between Peacemaker, John Cena, and Watchmen's The Comedian than you may think.

This dropped before the big reveal.

I've been traveling this week, so I totally forgot to post a link to my latest on @comicbookclub.bsky.social

This is the first of a lot I’ll have to say about what #Peacemaker means, particularly today.

Can’t wait to hear Red Sox fans screaming “get bent, you fawkin’ clanka’” and for the ref to respond “eat my shiny robot ass.”

I dunno, I thought Falcon and Winter Soldier accidentally found something to say, then got scared of it when it got real and cut it off.

Play the <em>Sneakers</em> Computer Press Kit from 1992 Reporters had to

33 years ago this month, the movie Sneakers hit theaters. 🕵️‍♂️💻

The studio even shipped a floppy disk press kit that reporters had to "hack" into for bios & production materials. www.mentalfloss.com/article/5029...

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

I continue to be deeply impressed by what @jamesgunn.bsky.social is doing on Peacemaker.

There's a lot being said if you see Chris and Eagly as a mirror of America's mind and heart.

I can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out.

Whatever Happened to The World's Greatest Detective? | Comic Book Club Whatever happened to the World's Greatest Detective version of Batman from the Silver Age? He was replaced by Frank Miller's gritty loner.

I start the week off over at @comicbookclub.bsky.social by trying to solve the murder of The World’s Greatest Detective.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The moment when my wife tells me to stop scrolling and go play 2K.

It’s nice to know that justice does work some places on Earth.

I tried to mount a celebration of local community policing teams and first responders through my American Legion Post to honor September 11th.

Due to the planned federal actions here in Chicago, support for it fell apart and we had to cancel.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.

Scientists say that NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered rocks that are being called the clearest sign of ancient life on that planet.

Researchers say the stones will require further analysis, ideally in laboratories back here on Earth, before they can reach any firm conclusions.

Captain America Punching Hitler was Once Controversial In 1941, the people of the United States got their first taste of a superhero known as Captain America. This star-spangled soldier introduced himself to the world by punching Adolf Hitler in the fa…

Doing some light reading today for a project and came across this excellent piece by @chabrooks.bsky.social.

It’s a good reminder that it isn’t always easy to defend democracy, even in America.

Lot of disinfo accounts outing themselves during this whole spectacle.

There’s something deeply disturbing about clearing a population that almost certainly contains veterans from a park originally established FOR veterans.

I thought this was standard practice, verging on requirement.

Congresswoman, the powerful are the only ones they see as people.

Johnson is unpopular enough in the city that he would be best advised to take a back seat and let the Governor drive the effort and the narrative.

I would think so. IDK if the CPD rank and file are going to fall in behind Johnson, though.

I don’t want to get myself or anyone else excited if this isn’t actually real.

Is there any independent confirmation of this? I’ve seen the same video posted on multiple social platforms, but nothing from the mayor’s office or news.

More like AI has been embedded in a lot of digital products for a lot longer than the average lay person thinks.

Well, dang. Now I’m going to have to do that.

There are so many good arguments for and against the use of AI that it drives me crazy to see people wasting space and time on this “it steals from artists!” line of reasoning. It’s inaccurate, incorrect, and fundamentally a losing argument.

Be better.

This needs to be repeated loudly and often.

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
