Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.
I thought other countries paid for those?

Again, Christian Borle is clearly having way too much fun as Vox this Season.

But @leegarbett.bsky.social's been a favorite of mine since Loki: Agent of Asgard, and I'm excited to see his take on Hornhead.
Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They arenโt doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.
In an Erica Serra mood this evening for GoldeneEye's 30th anniversary.

My second-favorite Superman villain's coming to the silver screen, baby!
And I, for one, welcome our new Coulan Overlord(s) with a Twelfth Level Intellect.
It's going to be very interesting going back and re-watching not just this Season, but last Season.
I wonder if this twist was planned that far back, or if they only came up with it during Season Two pre-production.
Even if it's a retcon, it's still executed very seamlessly and plausibly.
But I also like how this is for Husk what "Poison" was for Angel Dust last Season: a song showing them at their lower point so far in the show, but the medley's a tonal counterpoint to the dark lyrics and subtext.

So "Love in a Bottle" scratched that musical itch.
As much as I love "Loser, Baby", I was also somewhat disappointed that @imkeithdavid.bsky.social didn't get his own solo number in Season One.
Anyone who's ever seen The Princess Frog's "Friends on the Other Side" will completely understand why, heh.
Before I forget, here's to 30 years of GoldenEye.

And the animation on this sequence is absolutely spectacular. This is a perfect marriage of traditional hand-drawn animation and digital animation.

13.11.2025 06:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's kind of ironic that Medicine Man is being released in tandem with Timeline since Jerry Goldsmith originally scored the latter before Brian Tyler (and it, rather than Loooney Tunes: Back in Action, would have been Goldsmith's final film score before his death in 2004)
13.11.2025 04:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This is a more than worthy follow-up to "Poison" (and I like how it's rightly the tonal antithesis of that song) and, in many ways, a spiritual successor to "Loser, Baby" (with Angel and Husk having swapped places).
12.11.2025 20:42 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0As Angel Dust's first solo number since "Poison", @itsblakeroman.bsky.social, @samhaft.com, and Andrew Underbeg had their work cut out for them given how that song was one of Season One's most acclaimed.
But they nailed it.
โซ You're living for the rush, for that royal flush โซ
That lyric's been stuck in my head since the morning, heh.

Since Jessica Vox played Elphaba Thropp in Wicked (2016-2017, 2018-2019), it definitely feels like she was channeling some of "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" here.
This likely wonโt be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes donโt come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

It completes the bridge between the two films and serves as a great prelude to Returns.
It finally explains the new status quo (and I especially like Miller's very clever plot fix for how exactly the Penguin and the Red Triangle Circus Gang got their hands on the Batmobile schematics.)
Finally finished @farawaypress.com's Batman: Revolution (which I'd been working on incrementally).
All in all, a more than worthy follow-up to Batman: Resurrection. As someone who grew up with the Tim Burton films, this novel -- and the duology as a whole -- was great.
