??? Hes completely against deputizing armed militia like Rittenhouse and said nothing about race in the second video.
He may have mentioned race and he may not have. It's tough to tell from that selectively edited quote. We're judging the book after reading only the last chapter, that's what we do all the time in this cell phone video world. We really need to train more people to have the initial reaction of "well what happened before they started filming". Sadly there's no ratings in that line of thinking. We need immediate gratification.

I agree. They could do that if they were able to pull off the universe the way Marvel did. Like how we'll now have a new Capt America and no Iron Man....or a new Iron Man?
But DC has sucked at it.
Joker and The Batman seem like they could be great starting points for a good series. They say Joker is not related to this one, but the tone and the Joker-esque gang in the new trailer seem to match Joker.
I hope they never follow-up Joker. That movie was perfect as a standalone.

This is a worn-out complaint, especially with iconic comic-based movies. The comics themselves tell thousands of stories and include different versions of the same hero/villain.
Why should that be different with movies?
When it comes down to it, all movies are the same old stories told in a different way, under a different context, with different characters. Its just the passing on of ideas through different groups and generations of people.
So don't expect super hero movies to go extinct any time soon and we can look forward to niche characters being thrown in here and there.
They absolutely need to tell a good Silver Surfer/Galactus story on the big screen with awesome effects. The 2007 film was a bit disappointing.
It's odd though. With all those stories and source material, they keep going back to an early in his career Batman. Snyder was really the only one who didn't. He planted a ton of easter eggs for what could have been a very different version of Batman than we've seen in movies. We've never seen any of the rest of the bat family in anything but the campy versions. If they really want something different, particularly with these darker takes, they need to bring Jason Todd to the big screen. That will shake people from the "same old story" line of thinking.

So the film that is supposed to unite all the Batman movies as coming from a common place rather than treating them as separate entities? Sort of the Rick and Morty of Batman movies where there is a multiverse of Batmen with some time travel thrown in(which is distinctly not Rick and Morty)? Hopefully not literal time travel so few movies handle that well.
That doesn't feel like a good idea but we will see I guess.
I hope they don't do that to the Spider Man movies but I guess they sort of did with the animated one. The earlier ones just need to be left alone to die. When Disney redoes XMen to be less of a debacle let's equally hope for a clean reboot.
The time travel in the story is along the lines of Back to the Future. Flash goes back in time and stops his mom from being killed. That ripples through time, changing a ton of things. One big one is that Bruce Wayne is killed instead of his parents and Thomas becomes Batman. They can't do that here since Wayne has to be at least 20 years older than Flash in the movies. So they'll just do the multiple universe thing instead. There probably will only be one Batman at a time, so Affleck and Keaton won't both be in the same scene.

This guy showed up two minutes later. Yes. I still need to get a life.
That picture makes it look like you lured that one in with a steak. If you keep doing that I'll show up outside your window.
These pictures are making me very seriously consider putting a feeder outside my home office window. A couple neighbors are drawing a ton of hummingbirds so that may be a good option.

That sounds weird.
Time travel and parallel universes. The original story actually runs with Thomas Wayne instead, which could have been different and fun.

Don't care about another Batman. Though I heard they are making some crazy one where a couple of old Batman's would appear.
That one isn't actually a Batman movie, it's the Flash. The story they're adapting there (Flashpoint) does have some really fun Batman stuff in it, but they can't do it justice. Apparently both Keaton and Affleck are signed on for that one.

Bullying a family? A seven year old? That is some crazy-*****. I get they are probably snowflake products of helicopter parents who have never faced repercussions for their actions. They may also feel they had the "right" to do that because Trump is Hitler and all Trump supporters are Nazi scum. ? I sincerely hope they are arrested. If someone will do this to a child, imagine what they will do to other adults (and they were being filmed and didn't hand back the hat and apologize!)There wasn't a whole lot of concern for the kid from any of the women involved in that video. Even the mother seemed a bit more interested in getting her viral moment instead of looking out for the kid. Sending the kid after them instead of getting the hat yourself? But hey, gotta keep filming.

This guy has been hitting the suet cake. I think this is a Grackle. Picture came out pretty cool. Almost looks photoshopped.
You probably mentioned it earlier but I missed it. What kind of setup do you have to take these pictures?

CAR vs BOS going to 2OTs.
The one thing you can bank on when watching Boston - they are consistently a dirty team. Always just on the edge.
Fortunately the next two games in Toronto ended in regulation. After those first two, I was worried that they'd never finish any series being played up there.

My mom has one stored away in her closet. I really need to claim that thing at some point. It's probably way too small for me since the original owner (her uncle) was almost a foot shorter than me. But hey, it would still be a cool item to have on a wall or something.

I don't care how you justify it, a team with 79 points picking 1st and one with 68 points picking 8th is absurd. Red Wings look like one of the worst teams in history and they pick 4th?
Lotteries are a terrible idea, unless you're running the league and are more interested in helping big market teams than in helping crappy teams .
Then again, all the #1 picks in the world wouldn't make a difference for the Sabres.
I never liked it from the start when it was only one team, but the three team lottery is a complete travesty. Every year they've done it, there's been at least one big jump in the lottery order. Hell, the Rags have done it now two years in a row. The teams that desperately need the elite picks are being leapfrogged each year. It will be fun to hear all of the "it's fixed" talk fire up after this one because right as they're in a mini-rebuild, the Rags are handed two elite prospects.

I fail to see the 'sad' part of this. She was throwing Molotov cocktails to intentionally destroy property while engaging in a riot. He certainly assisted, and apparently purchased some of the materials.
They both ***** know better. While a mandatory 45-to-Life sentence is egregious and excessive based on the facts here, I have zero sympathy that they both threw their careers and law licenses away.
My guess is that someone dropped a flaming rag into her bud light and she didn't have time to stop and think before getting rid of it. I can't count the number of times that's happened to me.

I don't know exactly how this talk with the media played out, but did Marcel ask for specific examples? If you have the chance to ask that follow-up, you should be doing it face to face instead of on twitter. Maybe he did, I don't know.

I was down the street from a gas line explosion a year or two ago that leveled an entire building. I can't even imagine what it was like for anyone within a visible distance of this explosion. Those videos are downright chilling.

I saw an odd one this weekend. An elderly woman returned to her car in the handicap spot. After moving stuff into her car, she looked for where the cart area was, saw it, then decided to wheel her cart over and leave it in the middle of a large area intended for unloading of vans with wheel chair ramps built in. The odd part, the spot she chose was actually further away than the cart area. I'm not really sure what the thought process was there.

I have a couple rather minor USPS issues. One really isn't with the Post Office but rather the tenants next door. The apartment next door (in my building) is rented to medical students taking a board certification course here in St Augustine. They stay in the apartment anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Well, many of these folks do a change of address at the PO, which i think is fairly ridiculous for temporary housing---but maybe they are between residences, I guess.
The issues occur after they move. We still get mail to people who haven't lived here in years. Important mail, sometimes. No biggie. I just write "No longer at this address" and stick it back in the mailbox. Well, about half the time the mail carrier takes that mail, and leaves new mail to the exact same person. Seriously? WTF? We get very few pieces of mail. How hard is it to take a second to make sure you aren't putting mail in the mailbox with the same name as the mail you are taking to return? For this I blame both the old tenants and the carrier.
But mostly I just wanted to say, read Post Office by Charles Bukowski.
https://www.amazon.com/Post-Office-Novel-Charles-Bukowski/dp/0061177571
I'm not so sure the carriers themselves ever look at the names. That would need to be filtered out before it even gets to them. Yours did remind me of one thing that drives me mad. My neighborhood has a central mail kiosk. For whatever reason, if there is ever mail for an address that doesn't exist, my mailbox winds up being the dumping ground for it. Whether that's a sorting issue or a lazy carrier, I don't know.

49? I would have guessed that he was in his early 20s when he started out on Mythbusters.

Has anyone else from his group been identified? I’m. It sure if I’ve seen more than one other person in the videos I’ve seen, but that may be the so called adult supervision you’re mentioning.
