Great read! Sounds like you don't need to have done too much MCU homework? Which is good, because I think the last thing in the franchise that I saw was... uh, Black Panther 2?

a little bit of personal lore: my culture writing career began with a cranky blog about spider-man. for Fansplaining, I imagine the end of that career, with another blog about spider-man fansplaining.com/what-spider-...
What Spider-Man Can’t SaveIn which our hero contemplates a career writing about superheroes and pop culture—and imagines an ending.fansplaining.comdamn, now I'm crying again
Chris PlanteCrushed by the Hansard news. A lesser known corner of Hansard‘s life was his close friendship with Eddie Vedder. The two were a beautiful example of how to support one another through grief. That story doesn’t fit into a social media post but this performance does youtu.be/S35d9KgruNs

Can’t believe Glen Hansard is gone. What an unbelievable tragedy. I loved his and Lisa O’Neill’s rendition of Fairytale of New York at Shane MacGowan’s funeral: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ptay...
Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill Perform "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's FuneralYouTube video by Consequencem.youtube.comin the strangest of coincidences, I was recently thinking of this Oscar speech (for no apparent reason) — not just Glen Hansard's remarks, but the fact that they were played off before Markéta Irglová could speak, and that after a commercial break, Jon Stewart brought her back out to say her piece

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.
Adam Sawyer“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

For Aftermath's Hater Week, I wrote about how Google's conversational AI search results aren't just annoying, but are an offense to everything I hold dear about the process of information searching in the first place
