“The Flash was supposed to have a $140 million opening… and now that’s been HALVED to $70 million. Oh, that’s NOT a good sign. This also might explain why the director spoiled a massive surprise cameo… to get butts in seats.”

True enough…These movies are fighting against the big shadow, of previous DCEU movies.

Disney Legends Silenced?! RUMOR: The Mouse May Be Hiring Retired Legends to Silence Criticism…

“A high-level source and others have reported to both @WDW_Pro and @JonasJCampbell that Disney seems to be hiring their legends out of retirement. But something far less pleasant may be happening as a part of that process. Is the Happiest Place on Earth seeking to make its former pillars, those who even had connection with Walt, to be the quietest legends of all?

Featuring additional commentary (and amazing art) by: @JFG

The video deals with speculation, rumor and alleged leaks. The basis of this video cannot yet be independently verified. Please treat this video as the rumor and speculation video that it is. Editorialized coverage is the explicit genre.”

I agree that is scummy business…

…You know what else I find scummy?…

…Bigots who think “traditional value” entertainment is the only legitimate entertainment…

Personally…I think that diverse representation should be allowed to just naturally flow…If they are aiming towards a real world model, then all races and sexuality [and etc, etc] are there…somewhere…There is no justification in censoring them, most especially if you’re already allowing others…

…If it’s a fictional world model…well…all bets are off, aren’t they?

I’ve expressed this so, so many times over my life…As a homosexual, I’ve had a lifetime of explicit heterosexual sex scenes shoved down my throat, in all forms of entertainment…I didn’t ask for it…I didn’t really even want to see it…But I think I’ve been fairly mature about the whole issue…Heterosexuals love parading their sexuality in front of the world…That’s just reality…

…At the same time…up until the last decade or so…representation of those of us who are not heterosexual, has been anemic at best…And you have to listen to the endless bitching and moaning, from offended heterosexuals, who don’t like that entertainment is no longer being modeled, to strictly condition people [children, explicitly] towards a heterosexual lifestyle.

A very large portion of the population is denied representation in media, because habitually offended heterosexuals don’t like it?…Fuck that bullshit!

We haven’t gone nearly far enough in representation…nor in telling the self appointed heterosexual “overlords” to go stuff it.

Things need to be consistent…

…If they’re so worried and concerned about affecting the sexuality of a developing child…then they need to stop pushing heterosexual propaganda…lest it [oh, the horrors!] “turn a child heterosexual”…

…Yes…Their idiocy can be logically turned back around on them…Blind hypocrites are easy to run circles around, after all…

I am glad that a more full range of representation of humans as they are, is making its way into media…

…I am glad that the politically correct, wall of strict heterosexuality is finally collapsing…It’s about fucking time!…Good riddance to that horse shit!

We who are not heterosexual deserve dignified representation!

Bidding farewell to the American century…

“Like Cicero in the Roman Republic, there are always a handful of chroniclers who can see and articulate clearly the social, cultural, and political realities of empires in terminal decline. They call out the bankruptcy of an inept and corrupt ruling class, blinded by hubris, as well as a populace that has checked out of civic life and is entranced by bread and circus spectacles. In his trilogy “Blowback,” “The Sorrows of Empire,” and “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic,” Chambers Johnson does a masterful job of showing how and why we are disintegrating. So does Andrew Bacevich, who, in his newest book of essays, “On Shedding an Obsolete Past: Bidding Farewell to the American Century,” writes about the debacles that have beset the American empire since the Vietnam war, a conflict he fought in as a young army officer. Bacevich warns that Americans’ inability to be self-critical, to dissect and understand the litany of disasters that have followed on the heels of Vietnam, including decades of fruitless warfare in the Middle East, will have terrible consequences for us and much of the rest of the globe.

Andrew Bacevich is a retired army colonel and Emeritus Professor of History and International Relations at Boston University. He is the cofounder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the author of numerous books, including “The New American Militarism,” “The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism,” “America’s War for the Greater Middle East,” and “After the Apocalypse: America’s Role in a World Transformed.”

Memorial Day Massacre: Chicago Cops Killed 10 During 1937 Steel Strike, Then the Media Covered It Up…

“We look at the largely forgotten 1937 Memorial Day Massacre, when police in Chicago shot at and gassed a peaceful gathering of striking steelworkers and their supporters, killing 10 people, most of them shot in the back. It was a time like today, when unions were growing stronger. The workers were on strike against Republic Steel, and the police attacked them with weapons supplied by the company. The tragic story is told in a new PBS documentary. “The mass media, right up to _The New York Times_, was supporting the police story that they had no choice but to open fire on this mob,” says Greg Mitchell, who directed the new PBS documentary, _Memorial Day Massacre: Workers Die, Film Buried_, and edited a companion book that is the first oral history on the tragedy.”

OATH KEEPER Founder Stewart Rhodes Sentenced 18 YEARS In Prison In Harshest Jan 6 Convictions…

“Jessica Burbank and Amber Athey react to news that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes has been sentenced to 18 years because of January 6. #Capitol #ProudBoys”


Seditious Conspiracy: Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes Gets 18 Years in Prison for Jan. 6:

“Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers group, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol. It is the longest sentence handed down so far to any participant in the January 6 insurrection, when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the halls of Congress to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory. One of Rhodes’s associates, Kelly Meggs, who led the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers, was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison. A jury had convicted both men of seditious conspiracy in November. The sentences are a “substantial win for democracy,” says Kristen Doerer, who reports on right-wing extremism and followed the case.”

BBC’s New Disinformation Expert Is A Joke!…

“The BBC has announced a new show, BBC Verify, hosted by the network’s “Disinformation Correspondent” Marianna Spring, that will be tasked with exposing disinformation, lies and other “fake news.” Not being targeted: all the lies, disinformation and fake news the BBC itself disseminates, whether about COVID, Ukraine, Julian Assange or any number of other topics.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why a mainstream, government-funded media outlet like the BBC would be interested in silencing alternative news sources.”

Oh Boy…Another one of Those…
