Guest column | Hollywood gave nerds exactly what we wanted. Oops. From the MCU to Dune, from Star Wars to Game of Thrones, we’re trapped in the age of the “explainer movie.”

The article in question. Its my handle, YNot1989, that they cite.

I was named in a Washington Post think piece about how nerds were ruining Hollywood because I made THIS map after seeing the trailer for Civil War (2024) on r/imaginarymaps and said I didn't think the worldbuilding was very good.

REP @aoc.bsky.social: “Vast majority of 🇺🇸 are against war with Iran- We can acknowledge the brutal reality of the Iranian regime + know a forever war won’t resolve that. We have multiple 🇺🇸 service members dead for an illegal action Trump pursued with no plan out.”

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

Thank goodness there were protests that day. Little bit of tear gas cleared my sinuses right up.

Yeah, that was by far the biggest culture shock on my last visit to Paris. I had bad cold and wanted some NyQuil or equivalent. Instead they gave me these weak-ass pills that I wouldn't use to cure a headache.

When I'm sick, I want to be put into a coma, liver be damned.

Things like this are why I'm growing increasingly furious at left elected officials who won't say out loud that the GOP are a dangerous threat to the country and general and marginalized but especially Black people in specific *and* citizens apathetic to the very real threat these people pose.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

How much longer are Democrats gonna tolerate this crank?

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

Ugh... I really tried with this show, but the worldbuilding has been extremely lazy since Season 3.

According to the For All Mankind official 2004-2012 timeline, 'Iridium' has become the unobtanium that justifies the space economy, Mars habs above ground are protected by magnetic shielding and there's an interplanetary illegal immigration problem with stowaways:

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

this looks fun

"We only had 30,000 or so observable Shahed variant attacks in Ukraine, but the targets were woke, so our Chief Technology Officer decided not to study them"

if Democrats vote for war they are the same as Republicans. if Democrats vote against war, they're just doing it because they support wars and know they will lose, and are the same as Republicans. I am a very serious person

Amazing how many people are so determined to deny that Republicans have any power or agency that they will just tweet out that they would fail a junior high civics class

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not “God whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

has anyone told the kurds who are allegedly supposed to be fighting the ground war?

Airstrikes targeting Shia militia leaders south of Baghdad?

The future in Texas is bright and terrifying Democrats are once more dreaming of what could be. Republicans are dreaming of Rhodesia.

"You don’t dominate a state as Texas Republicans have without a keen, if cynical, understanding of the median voter. But further downballot, the results showed a party increasingly captured by a radical fringe."
