@DiscussingFilm The problem w/ DC is none of their characters are designed to capture the cultural zeitgeist. None of their movies & characters connect in the same way as Marvel. If Skydance is unwilling to take lumps along the way to building that universe, they should scrap everything entirely
In May, Tony Hinchcliffe stood on a Netflix stage and said George Floyd is “looking up at us all, laughing so hard that he can’t breathe.” Floyd’s family called it what it was. Plenty of people shrugged and said it’s just a roast.
This month at Madison Square Garden, Dave Chappelle told the same joke. Same words. New name.
Now the same crowd wants him cancelled.
If that joke didn’t bother you when it was about a Black man murdered by police, you don’t get to find your outrage now.
Chappelle didn’t write a new joke. He held up a mirror.
Dave Chappelle is a genius.

@Fadedintonth An accidental gunshot struck Hashemi in the head after 4th of July fireworks. The shooting was deemed accidental. After pleading guilty, Ladarius was sentenced to 10 years probation. His girlfriend, Zahra Hashemi, survived the shooting. As of February 2025, they remained a couple
@TheBlackHokage DCU been trash overall though. They keep trying to find their version of Feige to fix it, but at this point it’s been broken so many times by so many ppl it’s unrecoverable.
As a kid who grew up on Free Breakfast & Free Lunch, that isn’t even a question.
You can’t tell me you’re “Pro-Life” & then tell me you don’t support free meals for kids in school
Being an adult gamer means spending all day looking forward to gaming and then discovering you have approximately 47 minutes of energy left when you finally sit down.
May be unpopular but fuck impeaching Trump.
Go after Hegsgeth and RFK and the rest of his acolytes.
Pass an ethics bill banning stock trading, imposing term limits, and eliminate PAC money and force him to veto it.
Defund his bullshit war, repeal his tariffs and kneecap ICE.
Investigate tf out of his kids and cronies and make their lives hell.
And most of all, make him watch. Let him complain and spend all of his time on grievances.
And finally, kill all of his vanity projects. The ballroom, the arch, everything. Make him eat it.
Impeachment is a mercy at this point.
@tedcruz Senator Cruz, you diagnosed the economic pain accurately, yet dodged accountability for GOP policies that fueled it. Blaming "communist" Democrats while promising to rebuild the party relies on hyperbole over real strategy. Last night taught you nothing huh?
@yvessirae Ma’am… neither prayer or hysterics masquerading as work would’ve made any difference. One understood the gravity of the situation and made peace with it. The other one panicked in disbelief. Has more to do with their respective ages than their genders or “the patriarchy”.
