I am watching WandaVision even though I have never watched an Avengers movie
I am very distracted by how much Elizabeth Olsen looks like an Olsen twin (yes I know who her sisters are, don’t tweet at me.)
I’ve read there were a lot of fan theories about this show but I think having no context for anything that is happening here makes that tough for me to do
Also I watched the “legends” thing before I started WandaVision, which I thought would give me some context, and it was perhaps the least explanatory explainer I have ever encountered
The only thing I know is that for some intellectual property reason Wanda can’t be described as a mutant which I hope gets retconned now that Marvel owns the rights to the X-men again

We are 17 minutes into the 2 hour Oprah/Meghan/Harry interview and it will already make a lot of heads explode on the British morning talk shows tomorrow
All those tabloid headlines that said Meghan made Kate Middleton cry? Meghan says “the opposite happened.” Kate made Meghan cry a few days before her wedding, she says.
Meghan says she is held to a different standard than Kate Middleton. She says the British press and her critics “really want a narrative of a hero and a villain.”
President @realDonaldTrump says the election is not over, but the rest of the world is moving on. America’s most important ally has sent its congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris
Boris Johnson has also been an ideological ally of sorts to @realDonaldTrump, who called himself “Mr. Brexit” during the 2016 campaign. Boris is one of the rare world leaders who has enjoyed a consistently positive relationship with Trump.
The Chancellor of Germany, another of America’s most important allies, has also congratulated @JoeBiden on his election as President of the United States. @realDonaldTrump has not conceded.
People in Midtown Manhattan are cheering on the sidewalks, leaning out their windows and rushing to their rooftops to cheer and bang pots and pans, like they did in March during the 7 pm cheer. @JoeBiden has defeated @realDonaldTrump.
The divide between news broadcasts and opinion shows on Fox News may never have been as stark as it is tonight
Hannity just did a segment on how “the state of Arizona should never have been called by anybody.” (Fox News and AP called Arizona for Biden, other news organizations including NYT have not.)
Lindsey Graham echoes Trump on Hannity: “mainstream media polls were designed to suppress Republican votes.”
Graham says he is donating to Trump’s “legal defense fund” and he urges Hannity’s viewers to donate too.”
