Not sure if it was chapo, but there was this post election take on the ‘alternate universe Hilary presidency gracefully passing bipartisan legislation’ Twitter account that even in their ideal utopia Centrist Dems still want to compromise.

Thst would be Alt-Potus 45/IfHillaryHad, which was ran by Sarah Lerner, who was more well known for getting in an uber with one of the Cum Town hosts and having an impromptu discussion about Chapo with him. I say "was" bc the account hasn't tweeted for atleast 4 to 5 months.

i just finally watched BvS and like MoS, the only nice thing i have to say is that they seem to grasp how destructive a fight involving Superman and someone/thing similarly powerful would be. Given that, it's hilarious how they have to shoehorn in "it's unpopulated/it's abandoned" twice in like twenty minutes toward the end

Because while everyone that like shim likes him as this ideal hero that always saves the day with a smile on his face because life is hard and the world sucks Snyder only really cares about dude bro masculinity and power and just doesn't get the appeal behind Clark Kent, Perfect boy scout who is your dad and will always save everyone and won't miss your piano recitals.

i read the Death of Superman (original Doomsday story) trade a bunch like 18 years ago and it's an interesting contrast. As I recall they don't really shy away from "a lot of people are gonna die as a result of this" in the comics, or even taking the violence quite a bit further (what the authors see fit to do to Supergirl because she's an alien taking human form is particularly notable), but the overall tone is *still* more sunny and less brooding than either Snyder Superman movie. So yeah, dude does not "get" Superman by any means, I think

God I remember reading one of those stupid things years ago because a friend told me it was "hilarious" and it was just a completely straight-faced "here's what to do if zombies" manual with zero humor aside from it's hi-larious premise ("a meticulously-researched disaster guide but for zombies?!").

The only thing James Hodgkinson did wrong was not do excessive target practice and down a dozen pentazemin before he started.

Whoops! Now they have to re-vote on it and might not get it through because Republicans are loving morons.
