A Tumbler of venting, ballyhoo, other random thoughts and one hell of a lot of reblogs.

Happy Pride, the Space Cops are mad at you.

Justice League: Dream Girls #3 comes tomorrow!

[bornofanatombomb]

JUSTICE LEAGUE: DREAM GIRLS #2 has an *incredible* '70s sequence by Stephen Sadowski and Trish Mulvihill. When I first saw it, my jaw hit the floor!

This wasn't the perfect time. Certainly not the perfect storyline.

But it was enough.

And they should have let this be the end of it. They should have let May Parker rest.

It's insane to me that we live in a world where Alfred Pennyworth stayed dead because of a terrible story Tom King wrote and yet Aunt May's beautiful moving passing was retconned because John Byrne of all people threw a tantrum over it

THIS IS THE BAD PLACE ;-;

JD Vance went on the view and got absolutely torn to shreds by middle-aged women

The vice president tried to make himself palatable to women voters while promoting his new book. Instead, he scored a number of hard-to-watch own goals, writes Holly Baxter

JD Vance found time in his busy schedule to promote his book on daytime television today — and what a promotion it was.

In case you’re out of the loop and/or you’ve been concentrating on other, lesser news items like the Iran deal or the G7, allow me to enlighten you. Communion is the book nobody asked for, but by God, we’re all going to get. It’s about Vance’s conversion to Catholicism, presumably written in order to make the vice president seem more palatable for a 2028 presidential run.

His appearance on The View, a show whose audience — and panel — are predominantly middle-aged women, makes sense. It’s well-known both that MAGA Republicans are hemorrhaging female voters and that Vance as a person has a major woman problem. This is surely supposed to be the de-ickifying of a vice president who has steadfastly been giving women the ick since 2021.

If I were his campaign manager, however, my head would be in my hands right now. The panel opened with a question on the economy. Why are prices still high, he was asked, when Vance and Trump ran together on a platform of lower prices for all?

“We were elected on a number of mandates,” Vance clarified, in a bizarre twist on ‘well, actually’ that didn’t exactly make him look good. One was to lower immigration. Another was to lower prices, and as for that, “there’s a lot of work to do.” Which, I mean... of course.

Watching this brain damaged inbred couch-fucker try and talk like a human being is like watching a monkey try and perform heart surgery

Wait that's cruel

I shouldn't compare cockroaches like JD Vance to monkeys

After all

I LIKE monkeys

A great video dissecting why this movie is bad.

A lot of the talking points apply to bad myth retellings as well, especially the point about how Fennell can’t just say that she isn’t “technically” adapting Wuthering Heights (hence the quotation marks) because it’s bs because she still calls the movie Wuthering Heights and uses the same characters and names and everything, it really reminds me of how McLeod insists that she isn’t actually making a retelling of Andromeda but a ✨reimagining✨ which is also bs bc still uses the name and story of Andromeda and adapting it poorly.

The video even pushes back against the “it’s just an interpretation” argument which is so freeing.

God, can you imagine someone from Finland (or wherever) heading to a Midwestern state fair and eating every variety of fried thing imaginable?

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

I don’t follow soccer at all so I have no feelings on the World Cup, but I’m loving seeing people discover the US for the first time and finding joy here.
