  1. Apparently he's comparing himself to McKinley. Someone on his staff who secretly hates him must be trolling him hard by feeding him alternative facts.
  2. The Starliner situation was almost a complete disaster.
  3. -3.7% GDP (projected by the Fed Reserve Bank of Atlanta) sounds pretty bad.
  4. So RDJ on X asked if that is it for Doomsday, and the Marvel Studios account said there is always room for more.
  5. Come on, it's more refined than that. Arafel is the cougar country.
  6. Spidey 4 will be titled Brand New Day. Coming July 31, 2026. https://deadline.com/2025/03/spider-man-tom-holland-title-brand-new-day-1236355480/ And Beyond the Spider-Verse pushed to June 4, 2027. https://deadline.com/2025/03/spider-man-beyond-the-spider-verse-release-date-first-look-1236355242/
  7. It was Myrelle, but they'll probably use Alanna in the show. Though that doesn't make sense since they haven't had time to prep that. Really Egwene is the only one available she can pass it to, but Eg is just Accepted. Perhaps to a Wise One?
  8. The Fram2 mission is the first private civilian mission on a polar orbit (north and south) launching today, around 10pm EST / 3AM GMT, on a Dragon crew module (with viewing cupola installed) on a Falcon 9 rocket. This is the same Dragon that was used on the Inspiration4 mission. The details from google's AI: Launch stream from "The Launch Pad" youtube channel: Launch stream from "NASASpaceflight" youtube channel:
  9. German aerospace company Isar's Spectrum rocket fails. Spectrum has a payload capacity about 1,000kg, which is comparable to the SpaceX's discontinued Falcon 1, Rocket Lab's Electron, and Relativity's Terran 1.
  10. I can't see Greenland being independent of Denmark any time soon. Inviting them to join Canada after Trump threatens them seems rude. What they can do though is invite Canada and EU to occupy the 16 out of 17 military bases the U.S. closed down there. By the way, the one U.S. base still there is since 1982 occupied by the U.S. Air Force Space Command / now U.S. Space Force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base
  11. Who is dead in the X-Men'97 universe? I considered Monica ended up in a live action version of Earth-97 (google says it's Earth-92131) but probably too many characters are dead that Feige wants to bring to the MCU.
  12. The other cargo spacecraft used to launch payloads to ISS, Northrup Grumman's Cygnus, was damaged on the way to the launch pad. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/nasa-sidelines-cygnus-spacecraft-after-damage-in-transit-to-launch-site/ This part is doubtful:
  13. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/maybe-trump-should-go-back-to-calling-his-missile-shield-the-iron-dome/ I hadn't realized the Space Force's budget doubled under Biden. The current congress has shrunk it a tad. But then Trump is proposing a "Golden Dome" that will costs hundreds of billion. Meanwhile China wants to be on the Neptunian moon Triton by 2039. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/china-sets-dates-for-some-of-its-most-ambitious-planetary-mission
  14. You missed that the Whitecloaks burned her alive? Perrin found her burnt corpse still on the stake.
  15. This seems to be only half the list too. Heard somewhere there is suppose to be 45. Probably saving a lot of others for later -- Doctor Strange for instance.
  16. Updated the list. Added Mystique, Gambit and Cyclops It's possible the other Xmen would in Secret Wars instead. Others we can wonder about: Starlord is on Earth, if we're limiting to Earth-based characters No Cap Marvel, Ms. Marvel or Maria Rambeau. No Fury. No Wasp. If we're not limiting to Earth, why not Adam Warlock? No Valkyrie or other Asgardians. Glad to see Loki, but how are they going to explain that?
  17. I'm surprised to see Tenoch back. I thought he he'd be removed for his sexual assault charges. Or was that dismissed?
  18. Marvel just announced 'Avengers: Doomsday' cast announced so far Chris Hemsworth Vanessa Kirby Anthony Mackie Sebastian Stan Letitia Wright Paul Rudd Wyatt Russell Tenoch Huerta Mejia Ebon Moss-Bachrach Simu Liu Hannah John-Kamen Tom Hiddleston Patrick Stewart Danny Ramirez Joseph Quinn David Harbour Winston Duke Ian McKellen Alan Cumming Rebecca Romjin Florence Pugh Kelsey Grammer Lewis Pullman James Marsden Channing Tatum Pedro Pascal RDJ Edit: more added.
  19. I think it makes a lot more sense when you view it as what it obviously is. Season 1 was corporate satire for sure, and Season 2 is peeling that back to its Jungian psychology. But those two are linked in the larger picture that I sense should emerge in season 3. That's not switching focus at all. We go through life with our Ego as a bubble of protection around our Self to protect the Self from outside threats that challenges our worth, our validity and our autonomy and our integrity. Our Ego also protects us from ourselves, the despised, rejected and denied parts of ourselves that would make our coping mechanisms crumble in the face of those threats. Those rejected parts, the Shadow, is juvenile, selfish, fearful, and self-doubting. The Shadow is completely incompatible with the Ego. It's not a surprise Mark's Shadow (the innie) clashed with Mark's Ego (the outie). That was inevitable. And of course he turned away in the end, integration hadn't completed yet, he wasn't ready to be whole. That wasn't the show spinning its wheels. That's the show following through on the mission. Jung would explain the process of Ego Integration as bringing the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche into balance. The process starts by meeting the Shadow, becoming aware of it, . But to achieve integration the next step of meeting the Anima/Animus is vital. The Anima is the Desired Self imagined in an Other. We are attracted to that which we lack in ourselves but aspire to incorporate. The Anima is what we view as ideal, potent, validating, empowering and affirming. It's more of the collective unconscious, while the Shadow is the personal unconscious. So the Anima is often what we think our society and culture idealizes, and becomes a trigger of shame, guilt, sorrow (as it causes our Shadow be held consciously instead of repressed) for not measuring up to that ideal, our fear of failing to be what we aspire to be. The brilliant part is doing all this amidst the corporate satire. Because the Corporation (as an archetype of a dominant, threatening outer world) is a psychopath, and has a psyche of its own. All systems have collective psyches. The Corporation's psyche wants to stifle your Ego, repress your Self, and chain your Shadow. It doesn't want any of You, just your energy and output. So the Corporation wants to be your Anima. It want you to aspire to be productive, and for your ideal to be to serve it utterly. It needs to keep you severed. So I think this whole story is not just about rehashing Jungian psychology (which many stories do), but showing how our psyches are impacted by systems (whether Cult or Corporation) that make it difficult to be whole human beings. As for season 3, I'd expect the story to add another layer, but I have no idea what.
