This is true. There’s even an argument to be made that the steady presence of Orz through the Claremont run is more important than who the penciler is at maintaining the “This is the X-Men” experience.

One of the most enjoyable film, history articles I’ve read in a while. I had no idea about the long history of this set. Incredible details here. @filmstories.bsky.social is a treasure.

Okay, so I think I figured my core problem with TLOU2 (the game): I like the characters a lot, I like most of their scenes, but the revenge plot doesn’t make sense to me. Mostly on Ellie’s side—you need a -lot- of rage and grief to commit that intensely, and game Ellie doesn’t read that way at all.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

Gotta love how @katiebakes.bsky.social mentions the unlikely etymology of Ovechkin's surname midway through the piece, then deftly and wittily calls back to that supposed throwaway tidbit in the third-to-last paragraph. theringer.com/2025/04/07/n...

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

“25th Hour is a movie about unwanted change & forced adaptation, about how our choices have consequences we can’t foresee, how our identities are impossible-to-parse combinations of nature & nurture & nationalism, how the myth of the American dream is persistent & relies on our performance of it.”

You had me at "Walton Goggins IS Peter Tomarken." (But it also stars Paul Walter Hauser and features David Strathairn and Maisie Williams—yes, Anya Stark is back—in supporting roles. Unclear who's playing the various Whammys.)

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

I'm supposed to be at Sweet Briar College, where I was so excited to meet with the amazing students, faculty, and staff who organized my visit & made Mobility their Common Read. Hours before my flight I learned about their Board's exclusion of trans & nonbinary people. So now I'm not going.

Americans are in denial about the implications here because they wish it wasn't happening. But this is the behavior of a dictator. It's the sort of thing that warrants secession or revolution. The Republic is over the second federal funding is withheld pending a governor's personal apology.
