Uh oh.

I mean, I'm going to feel a little good that the film with the anti-vaxxer whacko is tanking, but if this is supposed to kick off the next big arc this don't bode well. Image
Maybe, but they used to call Marvel films "review proof."

Then there was Eternals.
And Love & Thunder.
And now this, from the sound of it.

Maybe things are just starting to peter out.
Honestly, this is why I'm putting my money on DC to outshine Marvel in the coming years.

DC's starting fresh and they still have all their marquee heroes.

Marvel only has one of their original MCU Avengers left.
Cap's gone, Iron Man's gone, Widow's gone, Hawkeye's actor is sidelined for at least a year or more, Thor's actor is pulling back from acting to deal with that Alzheimer scare.

All that's left is Bruce, and Ruffalo's getting older ...
Renner might literally be in absolutely no shape to do action films for a year or more.
I mean maybe? But it's gonna need a hell of a take to reboot the X-Men films. Like, something on a par with how Marvel kicked off Spider-Man again.

They're going to need *gold* to make it work.
Meanwhile DC's got James Gunn giving us his take on the entire freaking roster, top to bottom.

Gunn is good at what he does, it's going to be hard to top a brand new Justice League with the C-tier.

And even the C-tier is starting to age out of their roles ...
I keep saying the Russos locked the door on the franchise when they left and now nobody can find the keys.
Infinity War and Endgame was something like five or six hours of payoff for a decade's worth of movies.

The last hour is almost non-stop callbacks to tiny moments from other films.

The Russos wrote *an ending,* period. They didn't leave room for sequels.
I mean for fuck's sake the final big moment of the film is the same line that effectively kicked off the entire MCU.

The Russos salted the fucking earth, man.
I hate to say this because I love the guy, but:

The moment Patton Oswalt shows up in any Marvel media, it's time to start putting chairs on tables because the party's almost over.

Seriously, go back and check, it's fucking uncanny.
Agents of SHIELD? Patton Oswalt.
MODOK? Patton Oswalt.
Eternals? Patton Oswalt.

It's almost spooky.
Anyway it's not like this is ending anytime soon. Allegedly Disney has Marvel plans going out as far as 2032.

Whether they'll be any good remains to be seen.
Yeah, but as far as the rest of the MCU is concerned, Agents of SHIELD stopped being a thing around season two.
I am too, because let's face it: every go at Superman since Reeves has been mediocre at best, all the Batmen bleed together and Wonder Woman had one of the worst sequels ever.

There's literally nowhere to go but up.
Right? And then the next thing you know here comes Ryan Reynolds and Parker Posey and everything's gone all fuckheaded.
By the time the new DC cinematic universe gets started, I'm pretty sure either Zaslav will be ousted or they'll have sold WB to Comcast.

How.

Can you not.

Wash your asscrack.

Just ... HOW. How the fuck is this a thing with these morons?

HOW IS THE FLESH OF THEIR ANUS NOT IRRITATED AND INFECTED?

Their ass is literally going to rot off.
Poop is bad for your skin, it's not meant to just *stay* there. There's a reason your body gets rid of it in the first place!

For the love of god, humans used to make weapons out of sharp sticks with poop on the end, because if the poking didn't kill you the infection would.
I wish it was. If it is, it's like a through-line that all these little fuckers agreed to because SO MANY of them freak the fuck out if you ever mention taking basic care of your asshole.

They are weird and they think they're not and it's fucked.

Okay, started watching Star Trek Picard and I had to double check I hadn't launched Fallout 3 in the background somehow ...
Hold the phone ... were those ELACHI?!
I'm getting real sick of Starfleet officers giving Jean Luc Picard bullshit.

He. Saved. Earth. From. The. Borg.

Three times. Once in the fucking past.

And all these officers on this show treat him like the village idiot.

From the sound of it, a rich entitled asshole.
- violated building codes
- puts it on social media
- when called on it, attempts to lie to city officials
- attempts to bribe a city official
- continues to break the law

Yeah, he's a regular man of the people, this guy.
The part you're never going to see is when this basement pool eventually causes damage or fails in some very expensive and catastrophic way all because rich dude didn't want to be told "no."

I need to stress that though the Houston derailment was caused by a truck ignoring the barrier, the new electronic brakes the industry rejected would have prevented it from being as bad.

Instead of stopping from the front, all cars would stop at the same rate.
The current system of braking on trains is air-triggered. It starts at the front and spreads down the line to the back, meaning that it takes the rear longer to stop and those cars retain momentum longer.

The electronic brakes stop all cars equally, reducing excess momentum.
When the rear train cars retain too much momentum then they can't come to a proper stop; they actually start bunching up and pressing on the cars in front of them, resulting in cars getting derailed.

The industry has fought replacing the braking system for years.

I'm not going to spoil Ant-Man Quantumania for you, I'll just say what Marvel's setting up shure looks a hell of a lot like M2.
The unique bit about Marvel's M2 was it was beyond the present Marvel universe. There was no going back. The world had changed, the people had aged, and new heroes replaced old ones.

Sound familiar?
The only fly in the ointment are the X-Men, but I guess we'll see how they shuffle them into the deck.

For all its faults, I don't think we appreciate what a success USB has been.

I can grab a USB 1.0 mouse from the very first year of its existence - 1998! - and it'll still work on just about every single modern computer and OS.
Here's how cool USB is:

I was just able to remove one of those chunky USB B connectors (the one everyone knows as the printer USB connector), replace it on the circuit board with a USB C connector and the peripheral still works like nothing changed.
That's the beauty of it!

USB connections were originally just four wires: Data In, Data Out, 5V power and ground.

While they've continued to add wires to USB to improve speeds and power delivery, they never *removed* any. The basic four are still there.
