As a culture we moved on too quickly from Lori Lemaris, Superman’s Ex-Girlfriend Who Is Also A Mermaid. Just as a concept, she’s a beautiful encapsulation of the levels of comic book bullshit (affectionate) that you stumble across in superhero stories. Mermaids are emphatically real and one of them was a legitimate love interest for Clark Kent for most of the 60s

[thestuffedalligator]

I don’t need an entire movie about her, I just need the Superman 2025 sequel to have a bit where Lois goes “Hey I have an assignment in Atlantis you want to come along” and Clark says “Ahhh eesh I don’t know my ex lives there might be awkward” and Lois goes “Your fucking what”

deepest respect to the people who were posting mods for Silksong within 12 hours of it being released. especially the person who made an invincibility mod with a readme that just says "I have suffered enough"

Superman desperately scanning the street during a fight to find the most morally acceptable car to throw at his opponent, knowing that not everybody has insurance, and loss of transportation can ruin a life -

A wave of incredible relief washes over him as he spots the hard geometric lines and silver paintless sheen of a Cybertruck.

Being told to stop using em dashes in my writing because ChatGPT uses them a lot and people might think it's written by AI...

[mikkeneko]

On a more serious note: there's no point in changing your style to be less like AI, because AI adapts based on what the most popular style is. It will also change. I'm not interested in participating an eternal Zen archer's race with a machine.

Men’s gymnastics uniforms are so boring. Where are the sequins? Where are the sparkles? Why can’t Pommel Horse Ken shine bright like a diamond as he’s twisting under the stadium lights? Why are they denied joy?

Either give the women pants or make the men compete in high-cut leotards! I don't care which! I just want equality!!!!

I love that psychic powers are still "allowed" in science fiction. They're an acceptable part of the aesthetic. Like you can't have magic, but you can have brain magic, because it's more Science.

[theaudientvoid]

At the time when a lot of classic scifi was written, the pseudo-scientific, academic veneer surrounding psychics had yet to be tarnished. There were university-backed research labs conducting "research" into psychic phenomena. The military and CIA were actively investigating how psychic powers could be used to fight the commies. The CIA even circulated an internal memo condemning James Randi's efforts at debunking psychics and accusing him of "gross distortions". Of course, it was all bullshit, but to scifi writers of the 50s, 60s and 70s, "in the future, scientists will discover psychic powers" seemed like as plausible a hypothesis as, like, faster-than-light space travel. And as a result, psychic powers have been grandfathered in to more recent scifi.

They're also sick as fuck, and everyone agrees, and I know this because I read their minds

People always talk about cats being soooo solitary and sooo independent as if these aren't the creatures that will scream and cry so so loudly if you try to piss by yourself

in honour of the deltarune news im once again remembering my funniest memory of it which was opening the game unspoiled, entering my name as "chris" and then being absolutely fucking bewildered when the game told me I couldn't make my own choices and would instead have to be called. kris

Batman #465 (1991)

Everything about this sequence of panels fucking kills me.

In that first panel there's just the slightest bit of space between Tim's shoulder and Bruce's thumb, giving the impression that Bruce isn't actually touching him and is just hover-handing it.

Bruce: Tim I'm going to head out for a sec, will you be okay?

Tim, on his first official patrol as Robin: Yeah chill I'm not going to fucking DIE. Wait.

LIVE BRUCE REACTION.

FULL ASS OUT EXIT.

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners

[saint-ambrosef]

i see we are all angry about this
