I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I would also argue that we have to acknowledge the lack of resistance from the status quo, whether that was the euro-sceptic Cameron or the anti-EU left in power in the Labour Party. Also, we can't forget that Labour was still licking its wounds after Scotland so was more cautious in their campaign

It depends on how you define reset. If you mean starting again, I disagree. They just need to allow a few of their heroes to be street level (like the original Ant Man films & Spiderman: Homecoming) who deal with crime bosses

I think the reason why they don't have the intimate fight between father and son is because all Marvel movies now seem to require the Earth to be in danger and the hero to save the day. As Grant Morrison once said, "superhero movies need to get back to stopping bank robberies!"

You should look up @jonnelledge.bsky.social's work. He is UK based but loves a good transit system!

Kane is telling a much more ambitious story, so I forgive it for taking a few shortcuts.

I don't understand how they wanted things to be clearer. That is the beauty of Casablanca. It is such a simple story but so beautiful told

That culture built up in Star Wars because there was so little of it but it had a huge fanbase who was desperate for more of what they loved.

I think a lot of older movies hide the backstory in dialogue. Lines like: Strasser: My impression was that he's just another blundering American. Captain Renault: We musn't underestimate "American blundering". I was with them when they "blundered" into Berlin in 1918.
