4 very different kinds of "adventures" with varying degrees of "friends" along for the "ride" ... All confronting some form of "darkness" 🤔

That dropoff in quality between Spider Man 2 and 3 hurts my heart … not that I disagree, just that it’s such a disappointing follow-up
Hell yeah, Corey!
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Queen to bishop six, check.
Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.
If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?
Atwood had some good expansions on these ideas in Oryx and Crake

2 best picture nominee films, and 2 other films that should’ve at least been nominated for best picture 😘 … Fuck me, Secret Agent is so good.

The Thing is so damn rewatchable!
This opening line is amazing prose.
Now entering The Bone Temple ...
3 panel comic Panel 1: Two characters are lying on a conveyor belt that is slowly feeding them into a meat grinder. A Pink Guy is closest to the grinder. He is duct taped and tied up. A Blue Guy in sun glasses is next to him. He is not tied up and there is a lever saying “Stop” above his head. Pink Guy yells, “HELP! PULL THE LEVER!” Blue Guy casually says “No can do, bro. Empathy is toxic” Panel 2: The Pink Guy is crushed by the grinder as the Blue Guy folds his arms across his chest and says “Caring is weakness, bro” Panel 3: The Blue Guy starts to get crushed by the grinder. His agonised last words are “What’s in it for me, bro?”
empathy is toxic, bro
