I am honestly surprised. Remember that shit James Gunn Superman trailer? This looks like that kind of aesthetic but actually good and improved way way more.

Ben the stone guy looks thinner than his comic version but whatever. The rest of the cast fits within the aesthetic of the trailer very well.

They seem to be making Mr. Fantastic not an butthole like the comics and instead an actual family man.

Even with the little bit of trailer I can already tell this movie is going to be actually good and be considered the best fantastic four out of the three different fantastic four's put to film including this one.

Looking forward to watching this when it releases.

Also a look at the back of Galactus's head. They gave him the classic Galactus size treatment but if you are used to seeing Galactus from the modern comics then he looks like manlet Galactus lol. Still looks fun though.

I want to do a retrospective of the woke era and I can't find that famous picture of a lumpy black woman giving some woke lecture where here paypal link is on the board. Anyone help?

How's the guy supposed to get out when they're standing at the door and pushing a dog through the broken window? Why can't they just drag him out lol?

The reported settlement talks come after both ABC News and Meta settled cases with Trump before going to trial. In the latter case, Meta on Thursday decided to pay the president $25 million in order to drop a case he filed over being banned from Facebook following the January 6th Capitol riots. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been full-throated in his endorsement of President Trump since his election victory following an acrimonious relationship in his first term. Meta, coincidentally, is facing an antitrust trial in April seeking to unwind its acquisition of Instagram, a case that was filed by the Biden administration.

The lawsuit that President Trump filed against Paramount relies on an untested legal theory that CBS violated Texas law which prohibits deceptive trade practices in marketing to consumers. CBS promoted its interview with Harris on "Face the Nation" where she was shown giving a different answer from the one she gave in the full "60 Minutes" interview. CBS has said it aired a different portion of her answer during the promotional segment due to time constraints.

...

Paramount is trying to complete a merger with film studio Skydance, which would produce billions of dollars in proceeds for Paramount's controlling shareholder Shari Redstone. The Times reports she is supportive of reaching a settlement with President Trump, whose new FCC chairman has control over TV broadcast licenses and has requested an unedited transcript of the Harris interview, potentially setting up Trump's administration to block the merger.

None of this should be surprising at this point. Major corporations are lining up to kiss the ring of President Trump in hopes that he will give them free reign to do whatever they would like without guardrails, or gain access to public funds and contracts, as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been able to quickly collect after giving President Trump the opportunity to take credit for major deals that would have likely happened anyway. In the case of Paramount, it will certainly cause a lot of reputational damage to the news outlets being thrown under the bus. But Trump gets to claim victory against "woke media" and his supporters will eat it up. Redstone probably does not care very much about the reporters at CBS anyway. It is all just business, as they would say.

Public corruption, in full view of everyone

and nobody cares, or even reports on it. good luck everybody

It gets reported, but MAGA thinks it's hilarious and thrives on liberal tears regardless of how corrupt and bad for America it is

What the fricking shit? This isn't how the US government is supposed to work. Pay to play at the highest level. Project 2025 apparently learned from video game companies. tight

The old U.S. is dead.

Its what Americans voted for. To legalize and legitimize corruption

Its what 77 million out of an eligible 165 million voters, voted for.

Unfortunately 90 million didn't vote

Those 90 million deserve their suffering

Those 90 million fricked the world.

cancel your paramount plus if you have it - shitty Taylor Sheridan shows anyway

!catholics !christians happy Feast of the Presentation of the Lord!

First Reading

Thus says the Lord GOD:

Lo, I am sending my messenger

to prepare the way before me;

And suddenly there will come to the temple

the LORD whom you seek,

And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire.

Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

But who will endure the day of his coming?

And who can stand when he appears?

For he is like the refiner's fire,

or like the fuller's lye.

He will sit refining and purifying silver,

and he will purify the sons of Levi,

Refining them like gold or like silver

that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.

Then the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem

will please the LORD,

as in the days of old, as in years gone by.

-Malachi 3:1-4

Second Reading

Since the children share in blood and flesh,

Jesus likewise shared in them,

that through death he might destroy the one

who has the power of death, that is, the Devil,

and free those who through fear of death

had been subject to slavery all their life.

Surely he did not help angels

but rather the descendants of Abraham;

therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters

in every way,

that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God

to expiate the sins of the people.

Because he himself was tested through what he suffered,

he is able to help those who are being tested.

-Hebrews 2:14-18

Gospel

When the days were completed for their purification

according to the law of Moses,

Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem

to present him to the Lord,

just as it is written in the law of the Lord,

Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,

and to offer the sacrifice of

a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,

in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.

This man was righteous and devout,

awaiting the consolation of Israel,

and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit

that he should not see death

before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.

He came in the Spirit into the temple;

and when the parents brought in the child Jesus

to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,

he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:

"Now, Master, you may let your servant go 

    in peace, according to your word,

for my eyes have seen your salvation,

    which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples:

a light for revelation to the Gentiles,

    and glory for your people Israel."

The child's father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;

and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,

"Behold, this child is destined

for the fall and rise of many in Israel,

and to be a sign that will be contradicted

-and you yourself a sword will pierce-

so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."

There was also a prophetess, Anna,

the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

She was advanced in years,

having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage,

and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.

She never left the temple,

but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.

And coming forward at that very time,

she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child

to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions

of the law of the Lord,

they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom;

and the favor of God was upon him.

-Luke 2:22-40

some street shitter explain to me where i can watch t20 cricket and what team to watch for. any good white american teams/players?

Surely they were teens once and coomed?

ADHD is bullshit and anyone that "has it" should be shot. You have a kid that misbehaves? Smack the little shit up side the head and tell him to shut up. I'm tired of all these kitty parents that are afraid to discipline their kids.

There's a fine line between child abuse and discipline. Take my dad for example; when I screwed up, my dad would electrocute me. And look at me today: flawless. Electrocution builds character.

All seriousness aside, the real reason ADHD exists is because executives at pharmaceutical companies need to make their Lexus payments. Companies that produce Ritalin, Dexedrin and Cylert make billions of dollars every year selling their shit to lazy/irresponsible parents that want an excuse for letting their kids become the stupid, obnoxious, spoiled bratts that they're growing up to be. When I was a kid, all my parents gave me was a brick to play with. If I complained about the brick, my dad would drop kick me in the throat and I'd realize how ungrateful I was being.

I bet all those wimps diagnosed with ADD when they were kids are the same dipshits that still pay with checks in grocery stores. NOBODY PAYS WITH CHECKS ANYMORE. Get out of the stone ages. Seriously. People that pay with checks drive me up the wall. Might as well pay with foreign currency. Some old lady was paying with a check while I was in line at the grocery store the other day, so I dislocated her hip. Old lady had nothing on me, I kick butt!
