    30 Rock was one of the first places I saw her! I loved her role. She apparently was a huge fan of the show before coming on.

    I’ve only seen her in a few things, but I’m really impressed with Cristin Milioti. Palm Springs and The Penguin showed she has huge range and seemingly great chemistry with everyone she shares the screen with? Listening to her interviews as well, she seems like a lovely person with a deep appreciation for the art of acting.

    Totally agreed. Nonetheless I’m still hoping for a way for him to get a super serum without undercutting the moral disparity between him and John Walker in FatWS. It just limits his matchups if he doesn’t have it. I’m still perplexed on how he’s going to hold his own against Red Hulk, but maybe it’s more of an evasion game a la Black Widow in Avengers.

    I’ve always hoped some sort of technology would come along that would make growing coffee in a greenhouse more economical. How nice would it be to regularly drink coffee grown by a local farmer? I imagine running a greenhouse is pretty pricey and coffee in particular is very labor intensive to harvest and process.

    Vaccines are one of the greatest miracles of modern science and conspiracy theorists are doing their damndest to undo that progress.

    I do in spirit agree with the idea of information being free, but it does cost money to create most information, particularly good reporting (which it sounds like this wasn’t particularly good)....

    I do in spirit agree with the idea of information being free, but it does cost money to create most information, particularly good reporting (which it sounds like this wasn’t particularly good).

    What’s a potential idealistic solution? I don’t really want a world where we essentially subscribe to individual journalists a la Patreon. I also don’t want to pay for access to multiple news sources. I even cancelled the one subscription I had just to shut out the bad news for my own sake. But I agree, paywalls are so annoying and drive me insane. I’m not sure what the answer is.

    I’m confused by the reaction, is it just fear driven by the lack of seismicity in the region? Or do people assume it’s an omen for a worse impending quake? Magnitude 5.2 isn’t super likely to cause damage except in edge cases such as poor construction, existing damage, and strange soil dynamics.

    Edit: missed the part about there being tons of small quakes. I guess that is unnerving?

    While compatibility makes much more sense than manufacturing their own, it would be very funny to see them build a monstrosity like the GameCube keyboard controller. I’m pretty sure that was third party though

    That’s an interesting interpretation; it’s like a different interpretation of a Nexus being. I’ve only read a few Kang comics but I don’t recall anything that made him particularly special in the multiverse other than the fact that he was so deeply involved in trying to control it

    I did like the quantum denizens design too! They just felt a little too goofy and unimportant. I also weirdly liked MODOK because of how brave it was for them to even try.

    Good news, Avengers: Secret Wars will very likely be the end of multiverse plots!

    A small part of what was so silly about Kang was the fact that they showed that arena full of Kangs and they were all Johnathan Majors? Like we’ve established variants can look different, why paint yourself into a corner by implying all Kangs mostly look alike? Not that that prevented them from a recast, but just a silly aspect. Ultimately I’m sure some exec pulled the plug after the combination of Majors’ scandal and Quantumania being a dud. If Quantumania was even moderately good I think they would have recast

    I know, but waiting until Doomsday to reveal him separate from F4 seems lame. At least give us a non-Downey variant?

    Yes but it will take place outside of the 616 universe. I suspect the ending probably will involve some hint of how they end up in 616.
