In short, it’s not, although Marvel is indeed currently making various decisions that are hurting their brand, dethroning them as a studio once feared by competitors.

Trump is never gonna give the Epstein files up
Share: On Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025, NPR reported that the Department of Justice released the first phase of declassified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, made available to “about a dozen right-wing influencers.” Photographed exiting from a White House meeting, each influencer fashioned a gaudy white binder labeled, “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” and “The Most Transparent Administration in History.” In this highly publicized move and those that would directly follow, what the Trump Administration thought would be a power play ended up being exposed as …

America’s new foreign policy: Bully first, ask questions later
Share: Just when we thought that Ukraine was a bipartisan issue, the Trump administration sets a new precedent on the world stage, where the loudest and boldest charlatan wins. The circus that erupted at the oval office late February shows us that President Trump and Vice President Vance are getting comfortable with their unchecked executive powers. “You are in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel,” Trump said in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s warning about potential risks of dealing with Russia. …
Billionaire bozo Bezos tightens his grasp on The Washington Post’s liberty

Just last year, he shocked The Post subscribers by announcing that the publication would not endorse a 2024 presidential candidate for the first time in decades. Many …
