For folks who haven't seen it: Ultimate Spider Woman is Peter Parker's mind put into the body of a beautiful woman that they attempt to forcefem with mind control

Marvel Ultimates would've been so good if it had just followed Ultimate Spider-Man's lead and just made its protagonist a closeted transsexual

I love everyone responding to this with jokes and not acknowledging that this is a thing one of the programmers at Bluesky did

This is kind of fascinating because I don't think Hegseth expected to be asked and blurted this out reflexively but ended up contradicting Trump so he'll be on TV by tomorrow sweating and saying Iran for sure did it

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

"I don't want to have to explain to my kids what gay people are" is ridiculous. You have to explain everything to them! They've never seen anything before! What else are you doing this about? You don't like broccoli so you just refuse to ever let your child know about what broccoli is? Okay man

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

If Obama were prosecuting this war against Iran, Democrats and the media would be cheering and half the right would be denouncing it.

That’s the problem: in America today, everything gets filtered through partisan tribalism.

I think if Obama were prosecuting this war against Iran his approvals would be at 5%

Iran regime change advocates got what they spent decades pushing forβ€”the US to launch a big war to collapse Iran’s governmentβ€”and they’re still not happy.

Because what they pushed for years was a fantasy of a smooth, easy regime change war that gets everyone to tell them they were right all along.

Children need to be old enough to understand not to tell their friends β€œMy parents think your family is gross and bad” because that would embarrass the parents.

Some parents would like to see their kids' and their kids' families' identities reflected in age-appropriate films, but I guess those parents can eat rocks.

The Human Cost of the War in Iraq

A *million people.* Thank you for the endorsement mister Cheney sir, that’s one sixth of the holocaust, very impressive. web.mit.edu/iraqmortality/

You can reject an endorsement. You can just turn it down. It’s not like getting hit with a water balloon where it’s just gonna be on you. You can say fuck that and fuck you old man. Maybe he would’ve died sooner.

Bush and Cheney killed a million people and Harris called his endorsement an honor. The profiteer architect of a war we all marched against. She was screaming into a megaphone that she and her party had no fixed values and everyone I know *still* voted for her. What more do you want from us.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

we cut the gay stuff because parents felt bad having to out themselves as blatant homophobic bigots to children who have otherwise been taught to love everyone and treat others as you'd have them treat you

Ah, the ol' "actually, they bombed themselves" routine that Israel used whenever they bombed hospitals in Gaza.

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy??

Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

this is, all else being equal, easily the funniest thing the director of inside out could have said

Kids learn to hate and fear gay people from their parents and family members, I don’t know how more clearly I can say it

I had a good friend who was a producer at Pixar for many years and she peaced out a couple years ago and everyone was shocked because the place looks amazing from afar but she said the absolute wrong people are making decisions and I guess that makes more sense now

I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying β€œWe’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at
