Apparently there's also been a lot of folks challenging books at libraries, like across the country. I'm on the library board for a super liberal city. Our meetings are all public, but we just had pretty much our first random attendee in 5 years who was someone who "just happened to be curious" about the procedure for challenging books (which nobody has ever done here). Support your libraries. Appreciate your librarians. Don't let the bastards win.

Thank you, author of "Engineers are always right". You impressed me with your comics that were often worth one chuckle, but I am not convinced by your idea that "People don't change after they turn 14".

From what I remember, Adams has worked to give himself an image as some kind of influencer/hypnotist, so I think part of the deal is that his reasoning is that if he couldn't change his step-son's trajectory, then it must have been impossible and the child's fault. He's an absolute poo poo person. Addiction is tough, addiction is serious, and the only way anyone good ever survives is by supporting folks and being supported.

Wanderer posted:All of these guys have the Ben Shapiro brain rot where they really want to debate their ideological opponents, and think those opponents' disinterest somehow proves they've won in some way. It's a really broken part of today's self-parody of a society where people will just stand up with a megaphone shouting "debate me!" Dude, you have a megaphone, if you have a point you should make it.

This story is called Peacemaker. Second line is the season 2 spoiler.

Solenna posted:Jumping off this, I think Chris Pratt getting that ripped to play Starlord was a mistake. He's a goofy childish slacker and also incredibly disciplined when it comes to diet and exercise? It is hard loving work being that lean and you don't get to eat garbage and Starlord the character would totally eat a ton of junk food. Yeah yeah surprise he's not actually all the way human but it's bad visual storytelling. The script says one thing, the visuals contradict it. It makes sense now, but at the time he really would have been Andy Dwyer in Space. Getting ripped and showing that off in the trailers created more space between the characters.

I think Cameron Stewart blocked me for just a random comment about his art, which is weird because I really like his art and bought some original pieces. Then, a while ago, I realized I hadn't seen him doing anything for a while and tried to find out why. Welp.

I admit, I thought Millar was a fake dumbass for money. I'm pretty sure he's not a Trump dumbass, and I thought was wasn't a Brexit dumbass. Being an RFK-Joe Rogan dumbass is a new and unusual type I've never encountered or really heard about.

I haven't heard of Canada having a separate union from the US, I've just heard of US projects filming in Vancouver. I wouldn't be surprised if there were no Canadian actors union, or if the US one had more Canadian members.

IANAL, and I'm reading between some lines, but it sounds like the contacts gave WBD a lot of control over licensing, even though Willingham has ownership. This is based on my reading that WBD was involved in the Telltale license and Willingham was not getting a cut. What does it mean to own IP but not have full control over the license? I don't know, it seems like a dumb, ugly situation. Especially odd to see someone say 'it was better when DiDio ran things'

Sometimes I find myself wondering "Is this person extremely dumb and oblivious, or are they actively bad" and almost always the answer does not matter, the solution is just to ignore them.

Edge & Christian posted:My old roommate had a photo on her dating profile featuring our apartment/shared bookshelves featuring a complete run of Cerebus phonebooks, and at one point started getting some messages from people who were very impressed that she'd read all 300 issues of Cerebus and I had to explain what a red flag that was. We've both since moved and the Cerebus has been moved to a lower/less prominent place of display. "Tell me your favorite parts of Cerebus" is a great screener question, if it works at all. For the record, I liked Lord Julius. E: And I only read the first few books, so I don't know if he turned to poo poo later. I'm pretty sure he died

I AM GRANDO posted:And Warren Ellis is able to work professionally without having to face any consequences, other than maybe he can’t find victims as easily as he could before. Is he still doing comics? TBH I feel like he checked out of comics a few years before he stopped writing. At any rate, "Don't oppress my argument with facts" is a great take, always fun
