*Spiderman: Brand New Day spoilers* I can't hold back my admiration for how the movie centers Peter's relationship with MJ and teases/lampshades "true love's kiss" as the thing that will break the spell and make her remember him, but throughlines Peter's friendship with Ned (often at MJ's behest).

"My Animal Crossing storage is full", right down to the fishing trophies piling up on every horizontal surface.

"I liked it, but I know there are people out there who will-" No! STOP! That's enough. Opinion accomplished. You're done. You're good.

Just saw the new Spiderman and thinking about all the smart, well-executed considerations of mental health Marvel has done since 2020 (this included). It's weird that doesn't come up more, but I guess serious films are just supposed to go "look at this fucked up character, aren't they so fucked up?"

From a Heritage Foundation paper against women's college sports: "By cultivating daring, risk-taking, physical dominance, and a desire for victory, athletics would prepare women for careers, leadership, and independence rather than homemaking and motherhood." To be clear, that's their *CRITIQUE*.

Every story about an AI "breaking containment" and "circumventing instructions" is basically like if a plumber's description of a leaky basement was about how intelligent the water was to find all those cracks in the basement.

It's the most Irish thing that right after a team wins the championship their captain has to essentially give a wedding speech. Well done to Mayo!

ruin a book by adding a word: The Unsolicited Picture of Dorian Gray

The irony of a successful athlete is it's actually highly beneficial for them to have already made it through multiple moments so mortifying that most people would have condensed into a black hole that destroyed the Earth

Just passed by a little girl learning to ride a bike and it's fun to stumble upon something that lets you know, 'oh, it's a big day today!'

My earliest memory is being a completely bewildered child crying on a plane, so every time a kid starts going my only thought is "oof, been there buddy!"

This is turning into the end of Gladiator where Commodus is crying out for another sword and his lackey finally enforces the rules.

They should have had one violinist steadfastly refusing to do the Norwegian row thing.

Bellingham remembers where defense got them the last time. What a goal!

Just got out of The Odyssey, and I hadn't appreciated how much the dorks on X must have *hated* Oppenheimer for being about how moving fast, breaking things, killing innocent people overseas, and building The Thing that destroys the world comes with regret, responsibility, and disposability.

Getting a string of Swedish political ads before a movie and I don't have the required understanding of the cultural iconography, so it just looks like the same soft-focus montage of Swedishy stock footage five times in a row with a different logo at the end. I now get how "undecided voters" happen.

The real grade inflation is how every veteran in every action move is "highly decorated, the best-of-the-best"

Oof. I assume there was some reason they subbed Gordon out, but he was so much of their ability to get play to the other end of the pitch. It's been like a power play since then.

Subjectively declaring "objective" numbers for everything because they don't have self-assurance to live life and account for their choices. All their energy goes to reverse-engineering report cards to hold up and shout "See? I'm a good boy! It says on the paper you have to admit I'm a good boy!"

We never should have let Geocities go down. We could be using our pages like birth certificates.
