Semper Shitpost Ubique

The Sound of Freedom thing is, like a lot of QAnon stuff, frustrating because liberals are adamant that protecting our implicated faves was worth absolutely suppressing the Clinton emails, Hunters laptop and the entire Epstein thing. As a result, now criticizing the ruling class or even noticing a growing number of things has been seceded to the right, who come up with deranged explanations without class critique, and anyone who asks about them is called a tinfoil hat Trumpist. The non-stop lying over covid in order to keep businesses open 1:1 led to this vaccine hesitancy thing catching fire and now leading to people denying germ theory, because the media and government threw away all of their credibility lying to our faces.

It's maddening because you would hope some of this energy would go to a positive cause, but nope.

there’s an amazing podcast, I can’t remember which but it had Dave Anthony as a guest, that talked about how loving stupid and crazy Jim Caviezal is.

like he thought God chose him to play Jesus, he walked around sets goosestepping like a Nazi, he regularly put stuntmen’s lives in danger, he thought he was a real cop because he played one, etc

pretty sure it was qanon anonymous, and yes it was good

Actual bottom line: wages are totally flat going back a few years when adjusted for inflation. Inflation has eaten up all of the wage gains from the labor market crunch.

Andor seemed to at least have movie-level sets and location shooting. I don't get how they're spending so much on the knockoff MCU shows that look awful and don't have any high profile cast to pay, either. Sure, Secret Invasion probably cost a lot because Cheadle & Jackson could probably command 10m each, but She-hulk being the same price makes no sense.

he's saying that wages are still up $2.80 per week from January 2020 after adjusting for inflation, arguing that it should be measured from January of 2020. If you instead measure from March of 2020 wages adjusted for inflation are down about $4 per week.

the pathetic back and forth slicing and dicing is almost totally meaningless, the takeaway is inflation ate up all of the nominal wage growth

She-Hulk has always been a self-aware and goofier comic. In the late 80s run she got into a fight until he Supreme Court that’s similar to a scene in the show.

The comic leaned even harder into the legal side of things in the 2000s and then had a very comedy/law focused run right around the same time Harvey bird man was popular. I’m sure both had an influence on each other and the scope of the shenanigans but She-Hulk has always been an attorney who frequently represented superhumans.

I don’t think it’s an accurate take to just say it’s a rip-off of Harvey Birdman but with a woman.

it still boggles my mind reactionary fake nerds pretended to like the "rEaL" She-Hulk who in their internet poisoned minds is just edgelord bullshit thats literally never been the character! There was no way a She-Hulk adaptation was ever going to be anything other than a big budget Ally McBeal!!

And good on them i hope the dorks die mad:colbert:
