Anytime you attract a MAGA cheerleader, it’s time to rethink your position. (he/him)

@AlbertBreer your view on DT Jalen Carter’s future completely overlooks an obvious in-house comp: DT Jordan Davis was drafted a year ahead of Carter and got his contract extension three months ago. There is no foot dragging by the Eagles here.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

The Eagles had taken the lead, 27-26 before the field goal attempt that Davis blocked. I’m going to say that no team that goes on a 20-0 run in the second half to take the lead with 2 minutes left has been “outplayed.” (2/2)

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@ByDavidMurphy in your article about not sweating the 49ers, you mischaracterized the first meeting with the Rams. You said the Rams outplayed the Eagles until Jordan Davis won the game by blocking the field goal. At one point in the second half, the Rams were up 26-7. (1/2)

@JBMAGA03 @AaronParnas @Acyn Is that what caused Mike Johnson to make up the story that Trump was investigating Epstein for the FBI which is the only reason his name could possibly be in the files?

@RyancBritt pluribus also shares something with the Star Trek episode This Side of Paradise, in which spores infect people and bliss them out, including Spock.

More recently, we’ve got Rick and Morty‘s Unity character voiced primarily by Christina Hendricks.

@StevenCheung47 Do you honestly think a man who declares war against his own citizens referring to the opposing political party as “the enemy within“ will ever be viewed as a man who is seeking peace?

He’s seeking glory, as always, while still suffering from being in Obama’s shadow.

@Jeff_Macauley @ATRightMovies I was trying to figure out why Harrison Ford was so young and then I saw Harrison over on the left side of the picture and realized that was Dennis Quaid.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@Jeff_Macauley @ATRightMovies Why, that’s Mr. Mary Elizabeth Winstead himself, Ewan McGregor!

@RuckerHaringey your article on Jalen Hurts’ growth as a quarterback got a key stat wrong: in the Dallas game, he rushed for 62 yards and two TDs; in the article you said he rushed for 8 yards.

All I can think of is that you confused that with the 8 yards he lost via 1 sack.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@thegoodolddais your article about Wednesday S2,P2 was so close to deploying a classic James Bond-ism:

“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. A third time is enemy action.”

(Yes, I’m saying that Wednesday is officially attacking its audience.)

@mehil the way you described Tenet in your article is the way almost every Nolan film feels to me.

Exceptions being Oppenheimer and Memento. #somuchponderousexposition

@MrAdamHolmes After reading your Chloe Zhao piece about the dangers of the unlimited budget, I’m reminded of Robert Rodriguez and his decades-long warning against relying too much on the “money hose” to wash away production problems

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@RealDeanCain @andy_hall23 And you continue to prove that you never understood a character that you played for four years.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@RealDeanCain So what are you hoping this decision precipitates? A book deal or a documentary miniseries? Or are you really trying to grab that gold ring and get a biopic where you can play yourself?

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@MikeSielski I think the biggest leverage that Eagles fans have against Mr. Lurie getting public funding for a new or improved stadium is that he would get laughed out of ownership if he threatened to move the team.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@LouisChilton today’s reprint of “17 awful performances by great actors…” needed an editing pass: the section on Robert Downey, Jr. says his only major roles that weren’t Tony Stark since 2012 were in The Judge and Doolittle, overlooking his Oscar win for 2023’s Oppenheimer.

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@BamSmackPow @michaelp93 Ezekiel uses the term the same way describing his father by saying “I had an iron monger,” a term that Obie used to describe his entire identity. 2/2

[Don Strong @DesiredFX]

@BamSmackPow @michaelp93 I think this is actually not a reference to Stane’s armor by a villain name but to a conversation, Obie had with Tony back in the very first Iron Man: arguing that the company should continue to make weapons Stane tells Tony “we’re iron mongers.” 1/2

@JackPosobiec You can’t handle pronoun choice but you’ll coin new terms to describe how a feeble old man fights an egotistical blowhard.

@nootoolie How dare you reduce the likes of Wawa and Sheetz to mere gas stations!? (Blame BuzzFeed for sharing this tweet today.)
