Taylor Swift seems to be one of the few artists taking physical media releases seriously (granted she embarrassingly overshoots it with her countless variants).

With music streaming notoriously paying artists dust, you'd think think artists and their labels wouldn't cede so much ground on physical sales. Two separate weekends in the last few months I've gone to record stores in NYC to buy a new major artist release on CD and they didn't even stock it.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

"...on subjects ranging from thorny policy issues to where he lives..." I just read the interview and didn't see the topic of "where Mamdani lives" come up at all 🤔

I'm doing my own research*

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Two panel meme of comedian Chris fleming standing in front of a brick wall. Panel one: "Okay, was anybody going to tell me that [Sun and Jin from Lost are in KPop Demon Hunters]" Panel two: "or was I just supposed to [find out while watching the film 2 months later] myself?"

I would have watched it on day one if I knew

In other words, if you've got my table, just be mean to me. I'll assume it's my fault and leave a big tip.

Andrew Cuomo concedes the New York City mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani, who leads in the first-choice vote The progressive state lawmaker surged from relative obscurity to become the main foil to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's comeback bid in the Democratic primary.

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo concedes in the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor, as Zohran Mamdani takes the early lead in the ranked choice race.

The Subway Is Not Scary Fear of the subway is a mark of low moral character.

"Most of the people who live outside the city drive cars to work. This is far more dangerous than riding the subway. Last year there were 10 murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City."

I only recently read your 80s run on Captain America and I was really touched by Arnie. And he wasn't just there to check a box. He was a fully realized character. One of my favorite Marvel comic scenes still is Arnie accosting Cap for self-flagellating at Arnie's partner's grave.

Tweet from @MJJMayor dated Oct 31, 2017 1:00 PM - "People who back into parking spots clearly have something to prove."

I've held this stance ever since one of my co-workers at my first retail job exclusively backed his pick-up truck into parking spots in our lot.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Personally I would put Runaways right behind AoS and Cloak & Dagger right behind Punisher.

I know you excluded Cloak & Dagger and Runaways based on their tenuous connection to the MCU, but if you had to rank them amongst this list, where would you put them?

(Also C&D's Brigid O'Reilly is indicated to know Misty Knight from Luke Cage so the argument can be made for their MCU-ness)

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I'm reminded how much I appreciate NY's law requiring all ticket fees be included in listed price every time I have to buy tickets at MetLife in Jersey. Can't believe other states live this way.

Um, actually 70s Howard the Duck seldom directly broke the 4th wall. The first Marvel character to make 4th wall breaks part of their shtick was Spider-Ham in 1987/1988, just a year or two before She-Hulk started doing it.

Just watched Making Love (1982), a surprisingly respectful film about a man in a straight marriage having a gay love affair, but watching a man come out as gay in 1982 felt a bit like watching someone open a restaurant in March 2020.
