The first Captain Marvel had a chick in it and made over a billion dollars. How did that happen when the chick made it lame? Here’s the thing - the warnings over the drastic oversupply of MCU film and TV content have been sounding loud and clear for some time now. It has nothing to do with work and everything to do with an audience that can’t possibly keep up with everything being thrown at them so as a result just doesn’t care about any of it anymore. But it’s very telling that you personally can’t imagine any film being made with a female lead except as an exercise in woke social engineering, and that you personally don’t think any film with a female lead could be worth watching on its own merit. It’s a really fucking ugly side of your personality.

Come on, man, he has coalesced a reformed NATO into making a well coordinated response. In my dark corner, I also think this or that should have been done faster but some things, like sending cluster munitions by the boat load against much opposition, are getting done. We are fighting a proxy war and are, for the most part, doing it by giving away armor we surplussed long ago. Russia's war machine is being severely attritted greatly reducing the chance they will attempt militarily to perfect other irredentist claims any time soon, they are consuming huge tranches of their ethnic populations in the war which may cause social unrest, and the world is getting a ring side seat at viewing what crap equipment they produce. I wish Biden was a great orator, was 15 years younger, was a nifty dresser and a fancy dancer, and didn't have a facial expression that made him look like he was struggling to pinch one off. But by any metric he's a better choice than Trump and I'll be thankful if you'd quit pretending that picking away at him wasn't hurting his chances in 2024.

It's a year out from the election. As the election draws nearer and we get through primary season, more people will get exposed to more of Trump and be reminded of how absolutely batshit crazy and unhinged he is. I've got a feeling that most people on this forum are more engaged than many, but the majority of the country hasn't been tuning into politics and they've not seen much of Trump in the past 3 years....definitely a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. It’s not time for either side to be getting cocky about the outcome of a Biden/Trump rematch. Glad you can't be swayed by the corrupt media's attempts to manipulate the simple-minded. How many times did you post about how the House Republican's had solved all of their problems in the 3 weeks between them booting Kevin and appointing Mega Mike as Speaker? EDIT: Spelinge

And when did people start to really organize, socialize, and begin really communicating and innovating (i.e. turning into a civilization)? Why, after the Ice Age! What a surprise. Wendy P.

I think that number will be pretty low. After 4 years of the Trump disaster, after seeing what the Rs are wanting to do (and are doing), I'd vote for Howdy Doody for Pres, with Clarabelle the Clown as his running mate if it meant keeping Trump out.

Due to climate change. Why does flood insurance cost so much more these days? Helpful hint: Look up how much the insurance industry paid out in claims last year.

Hi Wendy, I recently watched this on Netrflix: Life on Our Planet - Wikipedia Many yrs ago, I read this: The Life and Death of Planet Earth - Wikipedia In Life on Our Planet, it tells us about the five great mass extinctions that Earth has experienced. After I watched that 8-part series, I was reading some reviews of it. One said that we are now in the middle of the 6th Great Mass Extinction. Everything is in a state of change. * Jerry Baumchen * At 83, I do not buy Lifetime Warranties. PS) I rarely recommend things to other people; but, I do recommend those two links shown, if one is interested in that sort of stuff. As I am.

You decided to let the quote speak for you, and we both know you meant it.

Depends on which theologian you believe. Could be just one turtle and 4 elephants.

No, the NOAA data you choose to show and interpret shows you're right. Because you know you're right, therefore you go looking for data to prove it. Wendy P.

Oh but they are. It's a spectrum, but at one end are definitely people who honestly believe that the Earth is flat, and the "round earth conspiracy" is just another conspiracy meant to keep them down, like the "vaccines work" conspiracy, the "Biden won" conspiracy and the "we landed on the Moon" conspiracy. In my life I've known some brilliant people. Lindy just launched her space exploration mission to an all-metal asteroid. Andrea won a Nobel Prize in astrophysics. Andy invented most of the technology that allows your cellphone to work. And since IQ is a roughly Gaussian distribution, for every Lindy, Andrea and Andy there are three people as dumb as they are smart.

About 25 more than last year. No reason it shouldn’t be much more.

Yea, except for the ones who just stay home.

This is exactly why I think most of the leading flat earthers are just taking the piss.

Don't confuse skeptics and deniers. Deniers aren't that bright and are the ones still trying to make arguments of things they don't really understand, based largely on soundbites from articles they haven't read. Skeptics are now by and large convinced.

Sure, but between Trump and Biden a vote to support Ukraine is a vote that goes to Biden.

I did as well.

If he’s nothing but a ‘melted wax phallus’ how can he be the threat you make him out to be? Im assuming you’re just baiting with misspelling ’easy’, but maybe that’s just who we’re dealing with here.

Pop was also my dad. So Hunter is a douche. Do you reckon Joe Biden is the only parent with a douche for a kid who also used drugs? I know my dad didn't think he was alone. Also, do you think he was born a douche? Any chance some of the tragedies that befell his family might have rubbed off on him, too? You all know damn well that Joe Biden, who rode the train to work and about whom none other than Lindsey Graham once remarked was "as good a man God ever created" wasn't stashing or laundering bribe money. There are some serious issues we need to confront as a nation and Hunter Biden isn't one of them. Let's get real.

Incredible and very sad. I've not looked at a map recently, but if you managed to get to the UK from Rwanda by boat you deserve to stay.

This is fair - Obama should have taken more action in 2014. The rest, however, is rubbish.

The workers gave up quite a lot back during the financial crisis back in the 'late zeroes'. The execs claimed it was necessary to keep the companies afloat. Whether that was true or not is irrelevant. The fact that: 1 - the car companies have posted record profits in the past few years 2 - executive compensation has risen by something like 36%, while 'regular workers' have seen basically nothing (which is a 'real life' pay CUT once inflation is factored in). is a pretty good indication that the grievances from the unions have some merit.

[reply There was a Brit who ran a small operation at Tahlequah for awhile in the early '70s, then moved to another airport in Oklahoma.
