I think it could survive a delay. Spiderverse is the only piece of Sony superhero slop that people are interested in, and it managed to build up a massive audience on streaming during the delay between the first movie and the second one. The Post Malone / Spiderverse video from the first movie has more than two billion views on youtube.

The multiverse gimmick is getting so played out though.

Yeah , and because the ships are so old and badly maintained they had to constantly reboot the controls and find work arounds for them.

The funny thing is that Russia has kept moving into the Donbas this entire time, blasting through lines that have been fortified since 2014, because the Ukrainian reserves that might have held on there are currently getting blasted to shit trying to hold the salient in Kursk.

Someone high up must have really believed all the propaganda about Russian casualties, because the whole thing makes no sense otherwise.

Did Kamala's crowd sizes really put the fear in Trump or what? His only rally this week is in fucking Montana tomorrow, with none scheduled for the rest of the month. He's just doing unhinged press conferences.

Imagine if the Democrats had brought this kind of competence and energy to 2016 by running LITERALLY ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!

Yeah, because it's patently obvious that the US is in terminal decline, while China is going to be the worlds foremost economic and manufacturing power for at least the rest of the century. Even TSMC has facilities and employees in mainland China now.

first season was a wonderful surprise that genuinely elevated the source material, with Paddy Considine putting an amazing performance as King Viserys. Second season ....eh, it made some weird choices, but it's nowhere near as bad as Game of Thrones got.

they keep doing this psycho shit , bragging about brutalizing immigrants to try to get Pennsylvania, and all it's doing is pissing off their base in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.

There was a period around the 1600s where, relative to their neighbors , they could be described as a pretty well run and meritocratic state. Social mobility generally existed for men who had valuable skills and were willing to convert to Islam. There was a pretty effective administrative state , general internal stability, and the food supply was generally secure.

Your other options in the region at that time were ;

Europe - saw about twelve million dead in the 30 years war and the wars of religion. Widespread hunger as the falling temperatures of the little ice age lowered the crop yields. Glaciers started expanding again, and the altitude at which wheat could be grown decreased by about 200 to 300 meters. Also widespread religious hysteria and witch hunts as the black plague returns to Europe.

Russia - Absolutely wrecked by climate change. The combination of the little ice age , a bad volcanic winter and foreign invasion sees 30% of the population dead in the Time of Troubles, followed by regular famines afterwards. The general collapse of the old feudal relationships sees an increase in serfdom and more exploitation of the peasants.

Persia - Having problems from the rise of the Ottomans and the disruption of the silk road trade, and with some regions only just then recovering from seeing their cities, infrastructure and population almost annihilated by the Mongols 400 years previously. Though still a pretty ok place to live at this time , all things considered.

It is weird that so much of the Trump campaign was built around Biden and Hunter, like IRL years of effort, millions of dollars worth of merchandise, all the attack ads lined up for months in advance.....

with literally no one noticing Kamala or even doing opposition research on her, and now the GOP is trying to switch gears overnight in an election where they now need to really compete for women voters while desperately not mentioning womens rights or the abortion bans, or all the women that died in agony from ectopic pregnancies and septic miscarriages.

I think they might be afraid to get the chuds riled up too soon, because they will jump straight to misogyny and racism. The GOP's biggest weak spots right now are women pissed off over losing civil rights because of Trumps judges, and also a fear that the minority voters the GOP has been picking up will be turned off and go straight back to the Democrats.

Why is RNC research trying to make Kamala more popular with the average American boomer.
