I wrote this piece for @fairforall_org after the 2024 election, hoping to encourage a more productive way forward with our fellow Americans.

Every word still applies after these midterms.

Please read and share, and let's work to make things better.

Always a good time hanging with my dear sister @moniguzman when she’s in town.

She is one of the smartest and kindest humans I’ve ever met, doing incredible work in the bridge-building/civil discourse space.

Check out her amazing podcast @abraverway and see for yourself.

People always cut out the bit after where he says "I hope one day you realize it's yours too." That's why he's saying all of this. After everything Lex put him through in this movie, he STILL tries to reach him. That's Superman

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@CraigMahoney I don't think so at all. Each of them fit the story in one way or another, and built out the world as one that's lived in and populated by larger than life characters. If it was just a cameo fest I'd agree, but it wasn't.

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@CraigMahoney I agree on the collar. Still I love the suit overall because Corenswet looks great in it and it’s an homage to various designs.

I don’t think it was a team up movie at all. It’s a movie about Clark, Lois, and Lex. It’s just that some supporting characters are metahumans.

[Donovan McComish @DonovanMeade]

It’s depressingly prophetic that this stirring speech, which captures the beating heart of what makes Superman so enduring and great, is delivered to an anti-social, out of touch billionaire who refuses to acknowledge its sincerity and power out of pure spite.

“No cultural impact”?

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@sgcafan @tytheanimator People really liked that show but I couldn’t get into it.

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@BrettKahnke @tytheanimator I agree there.

But the Reeve films had stakes, as did Man of Steel. The trick of course is to make sure the stakes aren’t about his invulnerability. That’d be boring. But many, many great stories have been told that avoid kryptonite or otherwise de powering Superman.

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@BrettKahnke @tytheanimator There are plenty of stakes, in fact. Superman wouldn’t have been in constant publication since 1938 otherwise. And there has been plenty of great Superman media showcasing a great deal of tension and stakes. The most recent film did a great job with that.

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@tytheanimator Homecoming was much more analogous to what Superman 2025 was—and even then not quite because the character had already been soft-relaunched in Civil War in 2016. Homecoming didn’t make a billion dollars.

These people don’t know art, and they also don’t seem to know business.

[Angel Eduardo @StrangelEdweird]

@tytheanimator Because Brand New Day was the fourth film in a Spider-Man franchise, following a series of successful films featuring the character.

Superman was the first film that acted as a reset after a shitshow of films featuring the character, and the first solo Superman film in 12 years.

You don’t get The Avengers if you fire Feige after The Incredible Hulk

[𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗢𝗳𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 ⏻ 📖 Dune 📺 PJO @Rebel0fReality]

Bingo.

Ironman 1 was seen as a respectable success with a 584M grossing box office, even in the midst of all the Raimi Spider-Man movies that each made way more and The Dark Knight making over a billion that same year.

Imagine if early 2000s Paramount decided to just pull the plug on them the very next year after Hulk’s underperformance or even the years after that as Thor 1 couldn’t bring in even 100M in profit alone and Cap 1 could only rake in 20M in profit.

The MCU was given the time and space to make movies with lukewarm box office numbers for years, cultivating an audience which eventually paid off in Avengers.

Matt Reeves was hired by Time Warner, released 'The Batman' for AT&T, skipped over the Discovery era, and will release 'The Batman: Part 2' for Skydance

imperfection allows the art to breathe

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

Protesters in Philadelphia organized a boycott of several Jewish-owned restaurants. In response, hundreds of people showed up to support those businesses.

It's a beautiful example of counterspeech, with a healthy dose of the Streisand effect. An effort to discourage people from patronizing these businesses instead brought them an outpouring of attention and support.

The answer to speech you oppose is more speech. And sometimes, it's a really long line for lunch.

@thehankrose Let them come at me.

Tonight my incredible wife completed our culinary tour through the four Roman pastas: Cacio e Pepe, Pasta alla Gricia, Carbonara, and Amatriciana.

All delicious, though Amatriciana is probably my favorite.
