Paramount Passes on ‘G.I. Joe’ Treatment from Max Landis (EXCLUSIVE) Paramount Pictures is not moving forward with a "G.I. Joe" movie pitch from controversial screenwriter Max Landis.

Lol. Lmao, even. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

every person who worked on unbeatable (including many trans people) gets a cut of the game and it also supports the studio which helps us keep them hired

so basically buy your trans friends unbeatable to kill three birds with one forbidden ultimate move

Great short thread. I’ll add that lots of the highest profile tech journalists relentlessly glazed Musk to the point of embarrassment. He was always a shameless liar, but there was no curiosity or followup on his self aggrandizing stories. Mainstream culture followed accordingly (Marvel, Star Trek)

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

growing up on sonic romhacking and then taking a look at the SMW community feels crazy. yall are still on the "closed-source tool that forces a bunch of patches on you" era? the guy gets mad and starts threatening people when they try to reimplement any of it? bro the sonic 1 disasm is older than me

also where's my guy blue marvel in all these scenes

To be clear I don't dislike T'Challa having friends and people he respects among Black American heroes specifically, it's just the number of times that he's like "I'm calling in backup" and it's Every Currently Active Black Hero is a bit eyerolling.

sabatoge

Like, to me, that nationalism and his struggle with it is T'Challa's central character flaw that makes him compelling.

There's a bit in the Captain America: Symbol of Truth run from a few years back where Sam Wilson and T'Challa get in a fight, and in the aftermath T'Challa bluntly tells Sam "I respect you but we're not friends, and I will put my country before yours every time". Which is way more interesting to me!

And that just doesn't really hit right for me. T'Challa isn't African-American, he's Wakandan! A (fictional) country historically defined by its isolationism! Him taking it as given that Misty Knight and Luke Cage and Sam Wilson are "his people" doesn't feel in line with the T'Challa in my head.

Read Coates' Black Panther recently and I kind of got the same vibe off of it as this? Very "pan-African" stuff where T'Challa recruits all the active Black superheroes multiple times, with this vibe that it's just assumed that they're "honorary Wakandans" or whatever.

Donna and that spiky fuck

A vector art piece in the style of a 1980s GI Joe action figure, of a Chinese woman with her hair pulled back, wearing a sleeveless lilac shinobi shozoku with a short-sleeved cherry-red undershirt. She has a grey scarf that covers the lower half of her face, with grey fabric straps wrapped around her wrists and lower legs; she has a Chinese rope dart tied around her waist as a belt, and a kunai hanging from it. She comes with a pair of grey tessen (war fans) as accessories: one fully open, and one partially open.

Code Name: IRON FAN CONCEALED WEAPONS NINJA File Name: Zong Yuqin (棕 玉琴) Birthplace: Haikou, Hainan, China -------- Yuqin was a university student studying classical Chinese literature until she was accused of plagiarising her papers. Expelled from her school and left without a purpose, she found her way to Okinawa, where she was taken in by the Arashikage clan. Their training helped her learn focus and acceptance, and she found that her studious nature made her just as quick at learning ninjutsu and Arashikage philosophy as she had been at structural narrative analysis. When she graduated from being a ninja apprentice, she took the clan name IRON FAN -- a name taken from the novels she had studied, and one that reflected the razor-edged war fans she was now a master of. -------- “Iron Fan wields the ‘Western Winds’, her antique tessen, with such effortless grace that you don't even see her deflect blows -- it's like swords and arrows just refuse to touch her. In fact, with the way she moves across the battlefield, it's as if the ground can't touch her either!”

Another Arashikage character, this one going for more of a 90s "Ninja Force" vibe - Iron Fan!

A vector art piece in the style of 1980s GI Joe action figures. Birdie is a light-skinned, brown-haired woman in a lime green polo shirt with USAF pilot's wings embroidered on the chest, brown camouflage combat trousers, a brown harness, a white long-sleeded undershirt, sunglasses, a white golfer's visor with a green star on the front, and a headset with microphone. She has a smirk on her face, and wears a white glove on her left hand. Long Haul is a serious-looking white man in a brown flight suit with grey webgear over the top, grey glasses, and a brown helmet with yellow accents, a grey microphone, and a black flight visor on the forehead.

Pack-in blueprints for the 1986 G.I. Joe "X-130 ALBATROSS" (Airlift Battle Transport for Reinforcements/Ordnance/Supplies) transport plane. Unlike most G.I. Joe vehicles, the ALBATROSS came with two action figures, the pilot Birdie and loadmaster Long Haul.

BIRDIE ALBATROSS PILOT File Name: Coleridge, Taylor S. SN: 529-7190-TW58 Primary Military Specialty: Transport pilot Secondary Military Specialty: Logistics coordinator Birthplace: Fayetteville, Arkansas Grade: 0-3 (Captain) Birdie came up through the ROTC at the University of Arkansas while working weekends at her parents' grocery store. After SUPT at Vance Air Force Base, she trained on the C-130 at Little Rock AFB, and spent 5 years flying for the 19th Airlift Wing before she was selected to pilot the ALBATROSS transport plane for the G.I. JOE team. In her off hours, Birdie is a skilled golfer, and the winner of the Armed Forces Golf Championship three years running. "BIRDIE has a natural instinct for seeing how things fit together. You show her an empty hold and she'll tell you exactly how to fill it; show her contested airspace and she'll know just how to get in and out. That's why she's the perfect pilot for the ALBATROSS-and why she has the lowest golf handicap in the Pit." LONG HAUL LOADMASTER File Name: Jenkins, Roy X. SN: 114-2509-LM31 Primary Military Specialty: Aircraft loadmaster Secondary Military Specialty: Flight engineer Birthplace: Clyde Hill, Washington Grade: E-6 (Technical Sergeant) When Long Haul was a kid, his biggest hobby was organizing his sock drawer. When he was a supervisor at a burger joint, he wouldn't let anyone go home until the fryer was spotless. When he goes on leave, his idea of 'R&R' is reading the Rules and Regulations. He's the sort of guy who will order a cargo hold to be emptied and reloaded if weight distribution is even the slightest bit off, no matter long it takes, because annoying the brass with delays is better than risking the safety of his crew. "LONG HAUL is the most up-tight, un-fun, rules-obsessed person you'll ever meet. A guy like that is hard to like... but when he's hauling your fat out of the fire, you don't have to like him to appreciate him."

What, the hat? Is it for sale?

In 1981 Doctor Who Magazine published the first comprehensive inventory of the BBC's archive, listing which Doctor Who episodes existed and were missing.

45 years on, 41 episodes have been returned to the archives. Here's a recreation of that list followed by how it stands in 2026.

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal
like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

Someday I should go to a Sonic convention wearing a shirt that says ENEMY OF THE PODCAST and see if anyone gets it

false!

first recorded use of faggot as a slur for gay men is from 1914. prior to that it was used to demean old women who could only make a living from gathering firewood aka faggot gatherers.

It became a slur for gay men because misogyny and homophobia are the same thing in a different coat.

It was very embarrassing to listen to this and realised they'd preempted everything I said in my letter before they actually read it out, but at least everyone laughed at "Jimmy Leftfoot"
