Movies, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark By Rachel Leishman on Fri,5:29 Happy birthday to the man who built the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark! News, CNN, George Floyd, omar jimenez By Vivian Kane on Fri,5:06 Minnesota's governor, Tim Waltz, called the arrest "unacceptable," but also called it "inadvertent."

News, China, donald trump, hong kong, World Health Organization By Jessica Mason on Fri,4:44 Donald Trump announced the US will leave the World Health Organization, as well as sanction China and Hong Kong. Movies, Luke Skywalker, Star Wars (franchise) By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:17 It isn't new knowledge that Luke Skywalker's name was originally Luke Starkiller, but what is fascinating (and new to me) is that the name change came because of ... the Manson murders? Movies, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:25 Instead of just waiting to watch the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe either straight through based on their release dates, or even just vaguely in a chronological sense, you can actually watch it scene by scene, based on the oldest moment in the MCU and going forward. It seems like a lot, but also ... now I want to do it. Movies, Birds of Prey (film), DC Comics, Harley Quinn By Princess Weekes on Fri,3:05 Despite her relatively short life as a major part of DC Canon, first appearing in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, Harley Quinn is considered to be, after the Big 3, one of the most profitable and popular DC characters—hence she has shown up a lot in recent film and television, but we aren't out of the Harley-fever just yet. Big on the Internet, 2020, COVID-19, plague monkeys By Jessica Mason on Fri,2:42 Yes. 2020 just got weirder. News, Black Lives Matter, donald trump, George Floyd, Twitter By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:38 This is the equivalent of writing the tweet a sternly worded letter.

Comics, DC Comics, Nubia, Wonder Woman By Princess Weekes on Fri,12:15 Despite her 1973 debut, the DC character of Nubia, the long-lost twin sister of Wonder Woman, is still not as well known and is often dismissed as just being the "Black Wonder Woman." Now, writer L.L McKinney and illustrator Robyn Smith are teaming up with DC Entertainment to give Nubia her own story in Nubia: Real One. Big on the Internet, Savage Garden, tiktok By Rachel Leishman on Fri,11:37 Sometimes, you see something on the internet and it just won't leave you alone and that's what happened to me with this TikTok of a dream pub scenario where we all just sing "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden together. Big on the Internet, history, lucrezia borgia, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Thu,6:00 I highly recommend this read for all my armchair historians out there.

AMP Featured, News, donald trump, Twitter By Vivian Kane on Thu,4:58 Griffin says he meant dead "in the political sense" not "the physical sense," as if that means anything. Gaming, contributors, Kingdom Hearts By Samantha Puc on Thu,4:38 Aside from being harder than I anticipated, playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time as I approached my 30th birthday was also a deeply unsettling experience. That’s largely because, while it reawakened my love for several Disney properties (including 101 Dalmatians, The Lion King, and Mulan) in conjunction with the launch of Disney+, it also reminded me just how damaging so many of these animated movies are. |
