On Step 3 of The Critical Drinker’s “How To Kill A Show” plan, I get the feeling Disney thinks Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness is not going to do well, and they need to get their excuses ready.
Xochitl Gomez is shaking up the Marvel Cinematic Universe with her debut as LGBTQ+ Latina superhero America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, bringing with her the representation someone like Marvel’s Victoria Alonso would’ve relished seeing while growing up.
“What it would’ve meant is to have had a tad more understanding of the person that I was and that I was growing into being was not invisible,” Marvel exec and Doctor Strange 2 EP Alonso, who shares a 9-year-old daughter with designer wife Imelda Corcoran, told Deadline at the film’s premiere Monday night in Hollywood.
“I think visibility at any age is incredibly important whether you’re 10, 20, 30 or 80,” she continued. “To have your people and to have someone who says, ‘I am, and it’s OK. I am, and I am powerful. I am, and I belong.’ I think any young adult could have that today, [specifically] the 42 percent of LGBTQIA adults that consider suicide or those that do it, would probably think twice that maybe they’re OK [as they are]. My hope today is that—as a small gift from a bunch of filmmakers that want to tell great stories—if there are any kids out there thinking even minimally that their lives are not worth it, I can honestly tell you their lives are worth it and we will celebrate it with them.”
How can a person be expected to watch or read something that doesn’t represent them? I call for a boycott of anything that doesn’t feature a fat, diabetic failed writer whose love life is a crow pecking at roadkill. I demand to feel REPRESENTED.
Student Debt Cancellation Is Unfair. That Doesn’t Mean Biden Shouldn’t Do It.
On the face of it, canceling any student debt creates a class of winners, and no class of losers. After all, nothing happens to those unaffected, except that their local economies may be stimulated as former college debtholders will likely spend more on goods and services once they are permanently freed of their monthly debt payments. Perhaps there will be some downstream effects, like there will be for any addition to the national debt, like the possibility of higher taxes down the road or taxpayer dollars not being spent on other priorities. It might add to inflation, but most estimates suggest the impact would be relatively modest. But those effects are going to hit people whose debt has been canceled, too. They’re also taxpayers and participants in the economy. With some winners, no losers, and everyone affected similarly by future downstream effects, what is not to like?
Yup. No downsides whatsoever. No moral hazard. No addition to the tax burden of people who didn’t take out loans or paid them back. No reward to colleges for their fraud of selling useless degrees. Although, getting a philosophy grad to argue the case was a sly move on Slate’s part. Who knows more about overpaying for a useless degree than a Philosophy Ph.D. from Princeton?
Isaiah Lee, the guy who attacked Dave Chapelle. He got the full Altamont.
This is not the best First in the world. No, this is a just a tribute. I am not worthy of that First, which is to come.
Somebody has to step up and do the important work. Thank you for your service.
Dang, I enjoyed Doctor Strange. Guess I won’t be watching this one.
I have no desire to see any of the Marvel or DC Comics movies.
I enjoyed the escapism up until they went crazy with the streaming content. It was pretty easy for me to sit back and suspend my disbelief for a while and laugh at the slapstick humor in quite a few of them.
I found it pretty forgettable — and they made him a complete and total moron to make Spider-man: No Way Home work at all (seriously.. don’t get me started on how incredibly dumb he was all through that). Plus, I considered myself at a good stopping point at Endgame, so between all that and America Chavez as a character being about as interesting / watchable as The 24-7 AOC Channel, I don’t feel any need to bother.
Oh — and when it comes to Ben Folds.. this is my go-to. More and more each day, unfortunately… and much closer to it than the other side.
I’m not a comic book guy so I don’t have any frame of reference. Endgame pretty much wrapped up the Marvel universe for me as well. I think I made it 30 minutes into Eternals. Can’t do it anymore.
America Chavez was one of those properties that really juiced up the actual comic buying market.
and when I say juiced up, I mean made their long time customers all rage quit, to be replaced by the 10s of LGBTQWERTYLMNOPs come out and start buying their comics.
But who wouldn’t love Captain America replaced by a transdimensional Lesbian illegal immigrant who constantly slams the US and is written as a shrill harpy? Pure comics gold, Jerry!
Look, just as men make the best women, Mexicans without citizenship make the best Americans.
You mean like the bisexual Superman?
At least Falcon picked up the Captain America shield and title.
Same here. I enjoy them for the escapism, and the great effects. Hard to believe how awesome they are compared to thirty years ago. Recently, watched Batman. I do not know if I was in the right mind set or not, but it was not a very good movie.
Um….which Batman was not a very good movie? Well, shit. MOST of them. Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns are fantastic. Nolan’s Batman Begin’s and Dark Knight are equally amazing. (Both of their other ones…um…yeah they suck.)
But hey, four ’em are legit classics. Perfect movies.
Evan, I agree on all points you made. I was talking about the latest one. It was three hours, and I just could not get into it.
I admit I got a kick out of Batman and Robin, not because of Clooney as Batman – he was awful – and not because of the dumb-as-dirt Alicia Silverstone – she was even worse. Not because of Uma Thurman’s phoned-in performance, or how they took a serious villain, Bane, and reduced him to comic relief.
No, I got a kick out of watching Schwarzenegger just fuck around through the whole film. You can tell he didn’t want to be there and that they weren’t paying him enough to take it seriously.
“A laundry service that delivers! Wow!”
I enjoyed Tom Hardy’s Bain, but I am kind of a fan boy of his. Even dressed up for Halloween one year as Bain. It was fun.
Hardy’s Taboo was quite a trip.
It could be worse… look up all the changes that have been done to Ms. Marvel for the upcoming show (and movie).
Mx. Marvel?
I’m not a fan of the magical superheroes. Too many of them have no real limitations, and unlimited powers. Same reason I’m not that big a fan of Superman.
A lot of comic characters are actually pretty unstoppable if the writers used their powers logically. I mean — Flash, anyone? Only a few characters could even have a chance to see him, much less stop him if he stayed at his full speed. Green Lantern should be pretty unstoppable since they removed the yellow vulnerability (yet isn’t). As a fan of Firestorm — believe me when I say that they never come anywhere near his potential (inability to directly affect organics or not).
The writers happily keep “Shields set to Plot Device, Cap’n!” like they would with the Enterprise on Star Trek… one week they go toe to toe with 3 Romulan Warbirds — next week, they’re shaken around by a gorram Pakled trading ship. You just have to roll with it.
(And for the other direction, stay well away from the Morrison run of Batman [aka Bat-God]).
In science fiction, vulnerabilities are way more interesting than powers.
“I call for a boycott of anything that doesn’t feature a fat, diabetic failed writer whose love life is a crow pecking at roadkill.”
What’s his super power?
See previous Glibs post.
It can’t be writing if his backstory is “failed writer”.

No critical thinking whatsoever.
Well, it *is* Slate and all…
I always go to Philosophy majors for my economic advice. Which isn’t any worse than NYT Nobel-Prize winning Economics Professors, I guess.
Winston’s Mom concurs.
It’s impressively bad thinking in general. The article seems to mention several downsides to non borrowers, and then just brushes them aside, because reasons.
“On the face of it, canceling any student debt creates a class of winners, and no class of losers.” It seems to me that the people footing the bill are the losers.

How can a person be expected to watch or read something that doesn’t represent them?
For some reason empathy seems to be completely lacking these days. Old movies often expected you to understand and perhaps empathize with all the characters.
In the old days, part of a diplomat’s job was to understand other people’s concerns and try to address them in negotiations. That’s gone now too. Blinken, Biden and the other morons are out there portraying Putin as a supervillian even as they violated the Minsk agreements.

(Of course, a strong case could be made on immigration and the whole executive purpose to “faithfully execute the laws” instead of “pick and choose what I feel like executing today” that’s become the fashion…).
Where’s the onion for my belt again….
You’d need to have some agency be responsible for making laws in order for them to call the Executive on breaking them.
We haven’t had one of those in quite a while.

Exactly. Plus, naturally, it’s per person.
So your wife the Art History major is also covered too.
I quit my job at the first of the year to finish school. Took a huge tax hit from withdrawing 401k early. I would not mind getting some of the money back in the form of loan forgiveness. Not for sure if this revokes my libertarian card, but I will reclaim my money taken from me.
This libertarian believe you should take money back from the state if offered. I’m assuming you aren’t in favor of the loan forgiveness of course.
Same way I claimed my ridiculous EV credits.
I got cash for my clunker.
Doesn’t mean I supported that stupidity.
No, not in favor of it, but if I can get back the forty grand they took from me this year, from the 401k, I will take it.
Some people joined the military and got shot or shot other human beings to avoid the loans and get the gi bill. Some worked through school and some worked afterwards and lived modestly to pay their debts.
Suckers. Every last one of them.
Just pay for the student forgiveness with a one-time tax on all university endowments over $1G.
I didn’t realize inflation was so bad that we were into Gazillions.
Do you mean MMM?
I wasn’t certain whether he mean one grand, or one gigabuck.
Shit. I owe you a You-Hoo.
I don’t remember where I heard this idea, but it was suggested that if we are not going to tax universities to pay for student loan forgiveness, we should *at least* delay SS benefits for anyone who accepts debt relief.
I can sort of get on board with this idea, but I’d like to suggest anyone who accepts relief forfeits all future SS benefits (up to them to decide if the amount of debt they have is worth that trade-off). Also, let me opt out of SS completely (debt forgiveness recipients still pay in).
After admitting that everyone will take a hit, he somehow neglects to point out that those whose debt was cancelled will be winners, on net. So there will, in fact, be winners and losers.
Ya feckin’ moron.

I wonder how Schiff’s scrawny neck holds up his head.
There is an easy way to find out!
It’s good to have company.
It’s not just you.
Were I the President, I would unilaterally cancel all outstanding student loans, the cost of which would be billed to the top hundred public universities as a percentage of their endowment – any school that failed to cough up the cash would have their accreditation revoked.
Bill it to the school were the loan was used.
This^^, some of them fuckers was worse than others.
This is what I’d like to see. It’s the only way to stop or even reverse the ridiculous tuition hikes that naturally follow plentiful student loan funding.
Why exclude private universities like Harvard and Yale? It seems that a lot of the debtors are running up the bill for their puppetry degrees at private colleges.
Honestly, I forgot that they were private. I would specifically include the Ivy League in the party.
“I think visibility at any age is incredibly important whether you’re 10, 20, 30 or 80,” she continued.
Maybe I’m going to sound sort of out-of-touch here, but what the hell is the thing with grown adults taking their inspiration from comic book superheroes. I mean, little kids? Okay, I get that. But, if we’re talking little kids, being honest, the sexuality of the characters isn’t a thing. Despite what Hollywood seems to think, 10-year-olds aren’t really thinking sexually. And they aren’t thinking “gender identity” unless their psychotic parents have drummed it into them through some sort of Munchausen-by-proxy. Their harmonal phase hasn’t kicked in yet. No, I’m pretty sure it’s the adults pushing this crap. And, so, again, what sort of grown adult is looking at a comic book superhero and thinking about whether that fictional character is like him or her or not? No, of course they’re not like you. They’re fictional characters.
Grown adults don’t, except in the most casual way. Emotionally crippled children in adult bodies often do.
“I have no self-worth except vicariously, from famous people.”
Because super heroes are the fables of our time.
Despite what Hollywood
seems to thinklongs for, 10-year-olds aren’t really thinking sexually.Well, looking at the thoughtfully provided visual, Hollywood thinks it is time for a beatdown!
I’m leaning more and more towards Rorschach as my role model.

Tales from the unwoke: White Trash Edition.
So, my car died a few months ago and I’m currently not in a financially stable position to replace it. This has resulted in a good deal of walking on my part. Monday morning, around 7:00am, I decided to hoof it to a Hy-Vee nearly five miles away from my apartment to pay my electric bill (who doesn’t like a ten mile hike after spending the better part of a decade smoking around thirty cigarettes a day…fuck you).
Shortly before the first half of the journey I encountered a woman walking her small dog. Within fifty yards of or passing she pulled her dog and herself away from me by at least ten yards and began screaming at the top of her lungs: “I don’t trust you! You’re a man and I’m afraid you’ll hurt or rape me!” Keep in mind this is a meth addled, fugly, busted out old bitch just as wide as she was tall.
I responded by smirking at her and saying “Lady, If I was the raping type I certainly wouldn’t risk imprisonment over your crazy, used up old ass”
She then proceeded to scream at me about how she was afraid, ready to call the cops and was a lesbian. I didn’t respond to the irrational fear comment, winked at her when she threatened to alert law enforcement because a middle aged man dared to walk past her on the sidewalk and responded to the lesbian declaration with “Okay, good luck with that.”
I get why so many people here hate cops. I do so myself. That being said, dealing with people like this silly sod on multiple occasions for years on end can make even the most positive amongst us grow cynical pretty damn quick.
Your mistake was acknowledging her at all.
You should have asked her for a ride.
Yeah, don’t even look at crazy.
That’s the thing. Prior to the interaction, I didn’t acknowledge her at all. It was only after her dramatic response to my very presence being within half a damn football field of her that I felt a bit froggy and decided to mildly fuck with her after she fucked with me. It cost me nothing and felt slightly gratifying to mess with her… because I’m a dick.
Good, because a non reaction will only embolden her.
Sorry about the car. There are a lot of crazy paranoid women out there.
Glad you’re back, TH. Sorry about the car. Is it fixable?
Oh, it got sold to scrap yard months ago
Sounds like she’d fit in on a college campus.
^THIS^
Dad was a probation/parole officer. We probably got at least one call every month from some woman crying and begging my father to make her husband/boyfriend stop hitting her. This was back in the Old Days when they really couldn’t charge a guy if the woman wasn’t willing to press charges.
There are a lot of fucked up people out there. Cops have to deal with them all the time. It affects anyone who does that job. That doesn’t excuse what some of the cops do, but it is a factor that needs to be accounted for.
Cops deal with people who are having their worst day all the time. It would be hard not to be cynical about people dealing with that.
My cynicalest was working the front desk at a string of seedy hotels, and even some not seedy. Oofa I grew to hate people.
Who gives a meth-head a small dog? Thats just 1 line of bath salts away from a chinese entree.
Shit not easy. Had a light, no-biggie seizure on Monday. Then, yesterday I had a big one. Actually DID lose consciousness. Mid-seizure and now forgotten exactly HOW, i fell on my face and it got cut up a bit. Mostly just a bloody nose. (Pure hypothesis:) The biggest problem is my shoulder. I apparently tried to catch myself on the way down. I think I DID, landing on the ground in a left-handed push-up. Then I spun around or something and now….I think I have a sprained shoulder. It fucking HURTS. Moving it around too much, yeah. But also even when I’m totally still. Mostly a throbbing pain, nothing to get concerned about, but it hurts. I am having trouble sleeping because everywhere I lay, something hurts somewhere.
I have to go to immigration tomorrow and sort a few things out. (No biggie.) But it’s 6:am and we’ve been hittin’ that bowl all day. Well, at least I have. I had a lot of weird work to do in the morning, writing messages to lawyers and calling the embassy and then immigration to get all info ready. After that, I decided to continue my little vacation.
Always look on the bright side of life!
I hope you get your seizures under control.
Evan, the ketogenic diet can be a pretty powerful therapy for seizures. It may be worth a little experimentation.
Yep, I was thinking the same.

“On the face of it, canceling any student debt creates a class of winners, and no class of losers. ”
There are certain ideas that are so stupid they require one to be highly edumacated. That’s certainly Princeton PhD level stupid.
Why not have the universities cover the cost of the debt? Make it just like if you can’t pay for your car or house. They get their diploma back and the debt with it. That might encourage them to not give out so many worthless degrees in the first place.
The fun things that happens when assholes collide.
‘Did Nothing Wrong Other Than Walking Through a Park’: Maryland Cop Pulls Taser and Gun, Pepper Sprays Black Embassy Officer In Uniform Before Arresting Him for Impersonation

Submitted without comment.
“The two black holes will merge about 10,000 years from now and ripple the fabric of space-time in the process.”
Guess Ill pay my mortgage this month.
Well this is awkward.
I have a job offer that is pending a background check. Just got an IM from my manager telling me that he got an email from some background check company wanting to verify my employment. “Just wondering if this is legit or phishing”.
I hadn’t really wanted to let current company know about new job until things were signed, sealed and delivered. (I have no idea why – other than participation in this chat room – I wouldn’t pass the background check, but still).
That’s a red flag from the prospective company in my book.
I’m assuming they are outsourcing the the background check, but these companies know not to contact current employer.
You can contact the prospective company and tell them what happened. After that it’s up to you how to evade this with your current company.
It is awkward, not much more than that.
I am pretty sure that I would have been submitting my resignation tomorrow. I like my manager, I would have liked to have been the one who told him that I was bolting. Instead of him hearing about it this way.
Thinking back, there might have been a checkbox asking if they could contact my company. I thought I clicked No, but I could be wrong.
Twice when I’ve applied to work for gov’t contractors I checked that box, and they contacted my employer anyhow. I dont think they’re obligated to follow that direction.
Say it’s legitimate and you are planning on volunteering at your church.
I just said, I didn’t expect them to contact you, but it isn’t phishing. Left it there.

Normally, the right to bodily integrity means the right to not having something done to you.

Welcome to male privilege.
Los Angeles still claims to have a face mask mandate on public transit, including LAX. Nonetheless, nobody was enforcing it on passengers at the airport. Many (most?) didn’t wear masks to go through security. The lounges (visited 3 today), including a previously mask Nazi Admirals Club, didn’t care about masks either. Unfortunately, the employees have to be muzzled. I was at LAX exactly 2 weeks ago, right after the federal mandate was lifted and before LA re-imposed its own mandate, and many employees at the lounge didn’t wear masks. LA and SF are the worst places in the country. Maybe NYC too.

Damn work has been hectic all week. Don’t any of you people work?
Agreed. It’s been a whopper of a week.
My zoom will be with a company bureaucrat that is keeping my customer samples hostage in a warehouse.
I’m taking vacay. I’ve been trying to get my shower grout clean enough to reseal before SWMBO gets back from FLA. She bought some Chinee POS rotary brush to help. It’s junk. It eats batteries and the power switch won’t lock in the position after one use.
Teach her to do it herself.
Fuck that. Get this.

Bobarian LMD does the ‘Champ to Chump’ shuffle, whiz takes over the top spot with his third 18 of the week, mighty impressive, whiz. 24 P, 27.1666666666666 A, 9/15 TL, 38 SSS. The ‘no chump trio’ extend their streak to 22. Not too shabby, now let’s not be home to Mr. Fuckup and finish the week strong.
*shakes fist at whiz*
I have an article submitted laying out my strategy for choosing starting words. Of course that’s not all there is to it, but I think it’s very important.
As I mentioned in the morning thread, I did get lucky by choosing the correct word on the first guess for the last word (out of four possibilities). It could easily have been 19 or 20.
Baby coyote is mistaken for lost puppy and taken home by a Dover-area family
They’re cute little rascals until they kill your cat and try to drag your infant into the bushes. Nasty, nasty yellow eyed opportunists they are.

Oh well, I haven’t liked her since The Color Purple anyway (actually a good movie, definitely worth a watch).
I really appreciate these ghouls helping to solidify my position.
I’m feeling a little reactionary myself.

TBF, even if the child could vote on it, if the mother and doctor want the abortion, the kid is out-voted (democracy!).

2022 is gonna be weird AF.
Ya know, the one solution I don’t see them sharing – If you’re not trying to have a kid, stop with the unprotected fucking.
BIGOT!

RACIST!
or
PATRIARCHY!
or
WHITE SUPREMACIST!
One of those, anyway. Certainly not personal responsibility.
Right! … plus it had to be horse medicine.
Suck it, Pep.
Fair. Though I hate Real Madrid too.
What about Fake Madrid?
Atletico hates being called that.
