Somehow I’ve never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I’m not even religious
Yes there are double standards but this is the wrong comparison to make that point.
Most school shooters are minors who are inelligible for the death penalty, and a large percentage don’t survive their own shooting. Either death by cop or suicide.
I have no love for insurance CEOs or our capital-first justice system, but if you’re gonna make a point don’t leave it open to be so easily picked apart.
51·1 month agoI feel like this has promise.
I love that it leans into comic-book-iness instead of trying to make Superman grimdark. The colors are bright. It unapologetically includes Krypto. There’s a kaiju. This is what comics do. It also pays homage to the original movies with the John Williams score, but with a twist on the electric guitar so it’s also unique.
I also actually like that it’s not going to be an origin story and that other heroes already exist and are acknowledged. I don’t think the other heroes are going to play a major role, but the fact that they’re there at all is another sort of thing that the comics do. New readers just have to accept that these characters exist and don’t require a lengthy intro. I think movie audiences will be able to do the same.
Most importantly it shows that Gunn seems to understand the character. Supes isn’t dark and brooding. He’s bright and cheesy but a source of hope. Clark looks like a dork, as he should. He has chemistry with Lois.
Yes the effects are a bit rough. It’s a teaser. They will probably improve by release.
But if James Gunn can make the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team that only the most hardcore comic book fans even knew about, into a household name, I’m excited to see what he can do with Superman and the DC Universe.
The International Court of Justice does not just represent the West, it represents all UN countries. And while it did find evidence of human rights abuse it did not find evidence of genocide, because that is a high bar.
Furthermore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, representing 300 genocide experts, condemned Russia’s use of the term to justify its own violence, as cited here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2022.2099633?scroll=top&needAccess=true
You’re free to form a different opinion. But when yours is different than the majority of the world’s and the International Court, but won’t even admit that yours might be the hot take, it’s not a good look
Buddy, what he said was reprehensible and I am not trying to defend his actions or statements. But does it meet the standard of “ethnic cleansing?” The International Court and most of the world says no.
The Wikipedia article is a summary of many cited sources. There’s academic ones like The Journal of Genocidal Research. There’s a UN report from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. There’s news reports from Reuters and the BBC. There’s a report from the International Court. Though I’m sure you checked the sources before dismissing the article out of hand.
No one is saying that there was zero conflict in Donbas leading up to the invasion. But to label it as “ethnic cleansing” without even acknowledging that this claim is widely disputed internationally is at best irresponsible and at worst deceptive
Fantastic movie. Now excuse me while I get back to my copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

I work in mental health. If it bothers you, please say something. You’re likely not the only one. If they care at all, they’ll accommodate and maybe even consider putting something else on
You’re welcome to add me as a friend. I’m at level 49 and I plan to quit when I get to level 50, but I need all the Best Friends I can get to get there. 237580198313
Fair. I forgot about that
DOGE. You’ve gotta be kidding me
1·2 months agoI will do some reading then, thanks
Honest question, do most countries in the Americas withhold citizenship from children born to citizens of that country who happen to be abroad? I’m just trying to understand how big the stateless thing would be
Disney does not appear to be pulling punches, some of those fights were absolutely brutal. Literal bone popping through.
Love that they seem to be keeping the old continuity intact.
Plus the fact that they are showcasing his acrobatic skills and Billy club grappling hook, this appears to be even more comic accurate than the original series.
