Yeah but we got Bird Boy out of that. I can't judge zoomers hoovering up AO3 when I was reading that.

But CC did his best work with her editing. Those are the years of the kind of psychologically complex suburban domestic dramas that really distinguished that whole line. No Stevie Hunters on Krakoa.
Peter David's several iterations of X-Factor were the wisest adaptations of that mood.

Okay, I am a bookish white menopausal hipster. I'm trying to accept my fate and get really into Dylan for a while.

The problem is I don't really listen to music for the lyrics.

okay okay got it.

I can see how Krakoa was a dead-end-- the respawning mechanic was a great metafictional stunt and narrative experiment, but probably unsustainable.

I miss Peter David's ability to do interesting things with the wreckage of "events".

I think the x-collapse was the fault of Marvel editorial, not Hickman. But I have weirdly conflicted feelings about the Krakoa era.

The virtue of democracy isn't that it can choose leaders, but that it can remove them.

Kick over the ladder generation, but "boomer" is a mindset not an age group. There are 20 year old boomers.

American conservatives used to pretend to believe in social mobility right? I'm not misremembering?

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

Here's a solution to syllabus surveillance: go back to the 20th-century one-page syllabus: course name, contact info, assigned reading, grading distribution, make-up policy.

People have been sharing that video of Ian McKellen performing The Strangers’ Case on Colbert.

It is precisely why art is so dangerous to fascist projects.

Carlin called the US a torture state in the late 00s. His commercially pandering both-siderism is frustrating but he has some unwavering principles.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
