Nicole is Neither Vampire Nor Squid🦇🦑

Just watched the trailer for Mortal Kombat 2.

Why is Channing Tatum not Johnny Cage? It's the role he was made for. Why has this happened?

Since we're now getting The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Freakier Friday, do you think we will soon be hearing about the often-discussed threequels for Princess Diaries and Legally Blonde?

Just saw Superman! There was a lot I liked about it, but one of the things I liked was that the two instances (to my memory) of slow mo in the film were

1) a classic "Snyder-esque" slow mo hero shot of Superman saving a little girl

2) Lex Luthors pencils dramatically hitting the floor

I'm sure your reading comprehension skills are decent enough that you know I am not defending her. I believe in you, random internet person. You can figure out my point all on your own!

I was so busy responding to all the nonsense about the misogyny of the initial comment that I completely missed the posters anti-immigrant, xenophobic follow up.

Truly, is this who y'all wanna go to bat for?

Sure, and thats valid. But this wasnt pointing out her hypocrisy, or the hypocrisy of MAGA in general who will support Melania but enforce their puritancial regressive beliefs on every other woman. It was just mocking her past as a nude model. That's a whole different thing.

Thats a good note, thank you!

Does anyone know how to spot Bots on bluesky? Is it basically the same deal it was on Twitter - no profile pic, no header, a profile full of reposts and nothing else = bot ?
Is there anything else to look out for?

Again, if you are willing to resort to violent prejudices and dismiss them as "unimportant" in the face of what "truly matters," I have to wonder what you're even fighting for. Bigotry is the tool of the enemy, get less comfy using it to serve your own ends.

So using racial slurs or racist comments against non white Trump supporters and his collaborators, or being homophobic to queer Trumpers is justified as well?

Sorry, i dont buy that. Attack the person and their evil actions. Bigoty is never justified.

Blatant misogyny is never fair game. If you cant oppose fascism without resorting to it, that strikes me as a problem.

So many people are responding to this with horrible things that she has done or is complicit in. The association with Epstein, her support of Trump, etc.

Like, yes, thank you for agreeing with me. She is AWFUL and there is a TON to criticize.

Showing her boobs is really irrelevant to all that.

She doesnt deserve respect, but sex workers and nude models do. When you bring up her modelling as a negative, it tells everyone that you see it as a bad and shameful thing to do. Saying "its fine when good people do it" doesn't negate the fact that you clearly see it as a source of shame.

Anytime a woman is a terrible person, people are like "she doesn't reserve respect so I can call her a bitch and shame her for having sex or being naked," as if those things are suddenly alright because the person being shamed is awful.

Slut shaming is a pretty standard part of misogyny. The issue is the trafficking and complicity with Trumps crimes. Her being a nude model is irrelevant. If you didnt find sex work shameful, you wouldn't use it as a criticism.

What makes them a scold? I took their comment as just... pointing out a true thing. And like, sexism is bad.

To be fair, that's never been a popular thing to point out.

Yes, that is an extremely valid criticism. There are many, many things to criticize. Whether or not we've seen her boobs is irrelevant to the quality of her character. Which is evil.

Its not finger wagging, it undermines a valid point with an irrelevant and sexist criticism. Like "trump is a pedo! Also we think his wife is slutty!"

Who the hell cares about the 2nd thing? Why are we even talking about it? Of ALL the criticisms you could level at her, that's what you care about?

Fuck Netflix for cancelling "the Residence." Uzo Aduba was just nominated for an Emmy for the role and they're just like "nah we dont that."

honestly im done. its too much money spent just to have every show I get invested in cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons.

Netflix needs to renew the Residence. Now.

If you're wondering how my mental health is right now, I've started yet another rewatch of "The Good Place."

So the threads I'm hanging on by have grown pretty thin.

I've always loved these pages. Both the opportunity to see Emma Frost drawn in a completely normal way (non sexual, a little goofy even) and the "oh God yes normal things" reaction to the shopping invitation (i think that's this interaction...)

In anticipation of season 7, i have now finally watched every single episode of Black Mirror.

Lot of good episodes. Also several awful ones. Many, many fucked up ones.

Excited to see what depravity the new season brings.

Shout out to White Lotus season 3 for including a storyline that is gonna greatly reduce the number of people trying to get me to watch white lotus 👍

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

That's cool. I do like Betty Gilpin.

I finished listening to Sunrise on the Reaping on Friday and now I'm thinking that listening to the entire original trilogy again might be a super fun way to cause myself further pain.

Ah, that explains why i haven't really heard of it (I'm just not super into westerns so it wouldn't have been on my radar). Are you enjoying it?

I'm probably gonna check out WoT at some point. Not sure what American primeval is.
