Watching Winter Soldier again. Sam Wilson literally becomes an Avenger because of a line about beds being too soft when you get back from war.
The entire ship sequence is so cool. Well shot. Love Cap's improved and more modern combat style.
I also love that it's a team assault and the other team members are also elite.
Apparently Batroc is back for Falcon and Winter Soldier. Another minor universe character I'll be glad to see again. Wandavision has done this well too.
The reveal of the helicarriers is so smart. Nice Fury monologue with them just riding the elevator, plus it sets up the elevator for the fight scene later. Just creative filmmaking.
Fury car chase scene is incredible and the score is just a banger.
"Oh and I think you left your stereo on."

And holy shit the record playing is It's Been A Long, Long Time, which is the song Cap and Peggy dance to at the end of Endgame. What a detail!

Gina Carano made a dumb Holocaust analogy (a national pass time these days) but calling it anti-Semitic reeks of the same annoying edginess that inspires dumb Holocaust comparisons to begin with. Stop reaching for the worst thing you can think of to bolster your arguments.
Someone asked me about the tendency to compare things to the Holocaust yesterday and here was my response:
Not to mention that street violence didn't put Hitler in power. Causing deliberate deadlock in the Reichstag and essentially manipulating Hindenburg into appointing him Chancellor under false pretenses is what put Hitler in power, so the slippery slope argument doesn't hold here.

Just to prove my econ ignorance: I don't get why you can buy put options for stock you don't own. As a defensive hedge for your assets it makes sense, but as a pure gamble on a future price it feels very "stocks for stocks sake." I'm sure there's some obvious answer to this.
See this is my problem - I'm going to have to learn about econ now just to come back around to understanding this one thing. Thanks a lot, GameStop.

I'm getting very irritated at the "I don't get this GameStop thing" trend.

It's not complicated and has been explained 75,000 times in the space of less than a Tweet. Waste a literal minute of your day learning something.
PEOPLE BET ON A STOCK TO GO DOWN. OTHER PEOPLE DELIBERATELY BOUGHT THAT STOCK SO IT WOULD GO UP. FIRST GROUP LOST MONEY. SECOND GROUP MADE MONEY. Sheesh.
Obviously there's more to it than that but this is enough info for you to not have to broadcast that you don't know what it is.

I mean like as a fancy drink. As a cocktail mixer it's fine.
Look, if anyone wants to send me a fancy bottle of Dom to prove me wrong, I won't say no.
