I'm going to say it - I disagree with this. I have zero problem with illegal immigration. When I'm eating a pupusa from a Salvadoran restaurant or drinking wine from grapes picked by a Mexican worker, my enjoyment isn't contingent on whether or not those people had the right papers. Migration...
asking a palestinian, diasporic or not, to condemn hamas is like asking a Black South African during apartheid to condemn Nelson Mandela. or an enslaved American pre-emancipation to condemn John Brown. when somebody is starving and handed food, you don't criticize the way they eat.
the schedule is about the same strength as last year and the roster is probably two wins worse IMO. it'll be a great stress test to see how much coaching can actually change a team's fortunes, and/or how bad Mack Brown actually was.

i'm saying it wasn't blatant state-sponsored propaganda. so many of these superhero movies have superheroes as stand-ins for and/or collaborators with the US military and act as implicit endorsement of their causes. most of them have to have their scripts approved by the Department of Defense so...
There's an interview circulating with the actor who plays Supes in this iteration where he addresses this exact point - this only becomes a problem when you try to create a Superman movie that mirrors what we see in Spiderman and Batman, with memorable villains and life/world-threatening danger...
it frustrates me because you could argue that "democracy" as it is currently imagined in the United States does have some real issues - namely, that loud pluralities or minorities can be completely ignored. rather than the productive dialectics imagined, in some form or other, by most of the...
