Thor Will Save Us! No, not the Norse god or Hollywood superhero. What
might save us all is thorium, which literally runs the earth at its core, keeping the world protected from being stripped of its gases by maintaining the electromagnetic field around us. Thorium is a radioactive element found in the periodic tablet. It can also be found spread widely across the earth close to the surface. Thorium is considered a hazardous waste product when mined along with rare earths, and must be isolated and stored. Therefore, we have considerable thorium available should we ever decide to use it...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.You feel it; I know you do because we all do. That
deep, aching, existential pain lamenting our civilizational decline: things cannot continue like this, and we know who’s causing it. They haunt our institutions while facilitating the dissolution of our social fabric.I refer, of course, to the scourge of superheroes.How Did We Get Here?Since the turn of the century, there have been dozens of superhero movies and TV shows (primarily produced by Marvel and DC studios, respective subsidiaries of Disney and Warner Brothers).

Oppenheimer was no Superhero: The latest Oppenheimer movie is yet another tiresome replay of the same old liberal fairy tales of the Cold War.

| 07/22/2023 | Frank Friday
Hollywood really does seem to be running out of new ideas. British
big-budget director Christopher Nolan had his successes a few years ago with yet another round of Batman movies, but his expensive, visually lavish, films have otherwise not drawn large audiences. His new release, about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who helped build the first atomic bombs, seems very much just another thin remake of a story long told. It is based on a 17-year-old book, American Prometheus, that was itself started way back in 1980. The late Cold War era featured miniseries, movies, documentaries, and plays all about...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Is a Marvel Superhero Movie Made in Poor Taste. And It's Better for It.

In 2018, director James Gunn was fired from the film for gross tweets. But
this comic book sequel shows the value of his gross-out sensibility. It's easy to forget, but James Gunn, the schlock visionary behind Marvel's first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, almost didn't get to make a third entry. In the summer of 2018, Gunn was fired from his job directing the movie, which was then in development, after right-wing trolls dug up a slew of old tweets that were in decidedly poor taste, and which included jokes about violence toward children.But poor taste was, of course,...

‘A bit of a superhero.’ Biden turns around presidency with recent successes that buoy Democrats ahead of midterms

WASHINGTON — President Biden looks supercharged. On
social media, his eyes glow Terminator-like in images depicting him as an all-powerful figure imposing his will on the nation. Known as “Dark Brandon,” the memes began as an ironic portrayal employing a nickname from the offensive, anti-Biden chant of “Let’s Go Brandon” embraced by former president Trump’s supporters. But after a slew of recent legislative wins, Democrats have appropriated the imagery to celebrate a president suddenly rejuvenated heading toward the fall midterm elections after a nearly yearlong stretch in which he seemed more impotent than almighty... “Over the last few months, it...

Superhero Obama Fights 'Online Lies'?

The New York Times sounded a little giddy on the front page of its "Business" section April 21 with the headline "Obama Joins Fight to Curb Online Lies." This spin strongly suggests Barack Obama never lies. He's
a valiant warrior against lies. That came after a badly disguised press release at CNN.com on Obama "urgently throwing himself into the fight against disinformation." As usual, they make it sound like a superhero has landed whenever Obama arrives on the scene. Never mind PolitiFact giving Obama the "Lie of the Year" in 2013 for when he said, "If you like your health...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Leaders who are “playing” at unity and stuffing pressing problems into an overflowing bag of woe. A
world that’s in the same boat, but first-class passengers get the lifeboats. A United Nations that resembles ”a retired superhero” that has lost sight of what it used to be. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy certainly wasn’t the only world leader at this week’s U.N. General Assembly meeting to paint a dire picture of international relations. But the former actor and comedian may well have painted the most colorful one. In a speech Wednesday, he called out failures in areas...

Superman & Lois isn’t pushing boundaries like its contemporaries. It

Shows like Invincible and The Boys on Amazon and Jupiter’s Legacy on Netflix tell of dark superheroes who plot and scheme like the villains they’re meant to defeat. With the juggernaut Marvel Cinematic Universe ruling the big screen, it’s TV where audiences get their fill of powerful beings who are flawed like us: jealous, dangerous, even reckless.But one superhero show soars away from the pack, and it’s not because its superhero is even darker or more flawed than...
