Review: Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
Man, I loved this movie. This was Deadpool levels of entertaining, and there are more than a few similarities to Deadpool, but I’ll get into that later. Suicide Squad was a mess of a movie, but the one redeeming feature, was Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Now she’s gotten her own movie, and is joined by some new friends.

Review: Captain Marvel
Ahead of Avengers: Endgame, it’s time to introduce the population to the most powerful superhero in the MCU, Captain Marvel. This movie has to show the people why Nick Fury paged her right before he turned into fairy dust. It had to do an origin story. It had to get the audience from “who?” to “OMG, I can’t wait to see her kick Thanos’ ass” in two hours. And it’s fucking boring.

The Political Spectrum
Many people talk about the political spectrum. I’ve been meaning to address this for months, but never got around to it. Recently Bill Maher offered his thoughts, and pointed out that the “left is the same as the right” is a false equivalency. While I agree with him for the most part, I think he (and most pundits) have left out one important fact. We are far more alike than it seems.

Biography: Emperor Norton I
This is one of my favorite stories. It’s a rags to riches to rags to insanity story. It’s what happens when the class clown is allowed to do whatever. Or it’s the story of how mental illness affects the homeless.

Changing Definitions to Fit your Agenda
There’s something that has bothered me for a while. It isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a societal issue. It’s the idea that words should fit a narrative, instead of the narrative being built on language.

Review: Black Panther
I’m going to be honest. This is a great movie. Yay. The problem, is that I complain. That’s what I do. It’s hard to write jokes about something you really liked. So I’m going to have to scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel this time, and nitpick.

Review: Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I understand that when watching scifi, like superhero movies, you need to suspend disbelief. Just enjoy the story. Star Wars is a story about space wizards. But is it really to much to ask for there to be some internal logic? I swear, the Force in this movie works like Superman’s powers. His powers can do whatever the writers need it to do. As always I’ll warn you before I get to spoilers.

Biography: Jeanne de Clisson
I recently found out about Jeanne de Clisson, when someone on Twitter said that Taylor Swift was the most badass woman of all time. Someone else replied by mentioning Jeanne de Clisson, and some of her deeds, so I looked it up. Wow. Such a cool story. So now I shall share it with you.
