The most obnoxious leftist bro you know is trying desperately to mansplain a reason why what's happening in this photo is fine actually & his head has just exploded like a robot in Star Trek trying to understand love.

Just saw that Max Landis has apparently been trying to rehabilitate his image, so here's a reminder that in addition to being the focus of numerous accusations of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, he also wrote the crappiest Superman story of all time.

People who react like this to a friend saying "I just don't agree with you" is not somebody with anything useful to say. This is not normal or healthy. His story is not going to end well and the people encouraging him by giving him these huge platforms are complicit in whatever happens.

Between this and Judi Dench this is has been a good week for respected actors revealing that they are actually dangerously thick.

Bonus Supergirl related advice: no matter what anyone tells you, don't watch the Supergirl TV series - it's bobbins.

Supergirl: Who is Superwoman by Sterling Gates & Jamal Igle. This is the first book of Gates & Igle's fantastic run. It ties into the massive New Krypton crossover a lot, but don't let that put you off because it enabled Gates to explore Kara's relationship with her mother, Alura.

DC Finest: Supergirl - The Girl of Steel by Otto Binder, Jerry Siegel, & Jim Mooney. Amidst all the Silver Age weirdness, there's a sadness to these stories. Kara's a lonely figure, having to hide her identity in an orphanage. But there's still lots of fun to be had - Streaky the Supercat turns up!

Supergirl: Being Super cover, featuring Kara flying.

Supergirl: Being Super cover, featuring Kara flying.

Supergirl: Being Super by Mariko Tamaki & Joelle Jones is the story of a superpowered youth in a small town discovering their alien heritage, but it has its own voice, separate & distinct from Superman's legend. This is uniquely Kara's story. Full of grounded, real characters.

For anyone intrigued by the Supergirl trailer, everyone's going to be recommending Woman of Tomorrow, & with good reason, it's great, but here is a short thread of three other Supergirl comics that I recommend...

That Supergirl trailer looks amazing! Can't wait. It's great that we're seeing a bit more of Krypton - and Argo City!

Of course, the main difference between me & Farage is that I've not been engaged in a decades long campaign to persuade the country to embrace the values of Jim Morrison while also personally enriching myself.

I wasn't a particularly nice teenager and I was obsessed with a problematic figure in a way that now embarrasses me, but y'know what? - that was Jim Morrison not Adolf Bloody Hitler!

Dan Didio put him on a blacklist, along with lots of other amazing creators.

DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 Arrives March 25 with All-Star Creative Lineup Superman/Spider-Man #1 arrives in March with stories from top creators and a stacked lineup of variant covers celebrating 50 years of DC–Marvel crossovers.

Only a few years ago a new Superman/Spidey team-up would have been as unthinkable as Mark Waid writing for DC again. And now this is happening! Brilliant!

I want the leader of the party I'm voting for to be scrutinised. I want Zack Polanski's words & policies to be picked apart. Yes, it's really bad that others don't get the same scrutiny, but that doesn't mean I want to join a fan club.

As someone who voted Green in the last election & most likely will again, I'm seeing Zack Polanski getting put on the same pedestal as Corbyn was and I'm really not on board with it.

Yes it can be rainy and grey but it's also the most beautiful country on planet Earth.

A long time ago my friend lived in Kent and they asked Don Estelle, Lofty from It ain't half hot mum to open their village fete. Apparently he turned up and was very aloof and unfriendly, wouldn't stay more than 30 minutes and then buggered off.
The next year they thought they'd be cheeky and asked Paul McCartney, who lived in the next village. He came with Linda and their kids, spent all afternoon at the fete and was as nice as pie to
everyone.

Please enjoy this story I just saw on Reddit about a village fete opened one year by Don Estelle & the following year by Paul & Linda McCartney. No idea if its true but it certainly sounds about right.

It says a lot that AI β€œartists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.

You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call β€œhaving an idea,” right?

It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

A Simpsons edit with Ned yelling "as for you, I don't know you but I'm sure you're a jerk!" And  Lenny replying "hey, I've only been here a few minutes. What's going on?" With Ned labeled 'the UK government for some reason' and Lenny labeled 'ADHD people'

I remember watching it at the pictures & thinking "ooo that hair looks realistic" but I could not tell you one thing that happened in it. It was set in space??

Just saw that the "Avatar had no cultural impact" conversation has started up again & it made me think of that Final Fantasy movie from 2001 that was mega-hyped at the time for its photorealistic CGI & then never spoken about by anyone ever again for the rest of time until I made this post.
