Damian, Jason just wanted a hug. He thought that his baby brother was hugging him. The poor man is so touched starved but this was SO funny

From: Robin #5 (2021)

it's so amusing that when you're an author who is like any minority, you have this caveat where if your book gets banned, you kinda have to mentally acknowledge whether it was banned by Bruce, the one really bigoted guy who wastes everyone's time in florida. idk how bruce is doing. you don't need to learn who he is really which is why im not using his surname. but if you have a book out commercially, bruce has probably written "damaged souls" on a form about you. so there's a street cred element to all this like did people really have a vendetta against your work...? or was it just bruce again

Did you guys see this about the judge who got reassigned for sending a meme to the wrong contact

Batman fun fact! Did you know that Scarecrow’s toxin doesn’t always cause fear? Sometimes it does the opposite! In Detective Comics #571, he wields a variant that completely inhibits the biochemical fear response, preventing people from feeling any concern for themselves or using basic common sense. He runs a racket administering it to star athletes, who take huge risks and get badly injured. Then they’re willing to cough up a lot for an antidote. Batman and Robin - here Jason Todd - catch on, but Bruce is dosed with the reverse fear toxin; since his intelligence is his greatest strength, being too overconfident and reckless to think twice about anything makes him his own worst enemy.

This premise was adapted in the Batman: The Animated Series episode “Never Fear”. There we see that with no fear of losing his moral integrity, Bruce becomes cold and merciless to criminals. Robin - here Tim Drake - has to catch somebody he leaves to fall off a building, tie him up to stop him endangering himself and others and give him the antidote to prevent him murdering Scarecrow.

But in the comic book, Jason is kidnapped by Scarecrow. He gets gassed and hallucinates Bruce dying and telling him that it’s his fault. He isn’t around to keep Bruce in check as he goes to rescue him through a series of death traps that he can’t resist cutting it as close as possible in. So how does Bruce not go off the deep end? How does he not lose sight of what’s important? Not lose himself?

Because even a drug designed to shut down stress at the most fundamental level can’t overpower his true worst fear. The Dark Knight might feel fearless…

but a parent never is.

Fernando fans now genuinely claiming Lance has the preferred strategy every single race when the average Lance strategy is to stay out so long that the tires disintegrate and then pit into last place

Once again, there is discourse in the Percy Jackson fandom about Black women playing characters that were white in the books. And they're only going after the women. Andra Day is playing Athena, which makes sense, given that Leah Jeffries, the actress for Annabeth, is also Black. Andra Day is now facing backlash for this. Leah Jeffries got harassed online when her casting was first announced. I couldn't find ANYTHING on Lance Reddick or Aryan Simhadri getting flak for playing Zeus or Grover. Why is it only the women?

pretty boys immediately need to primp and preen and fluff up the hair when told the cameras are on them 🦚

I completely understand the desire to discuss the apparent taivan erasure within the Yellowjackets fandom but I am sooo tired of seeing people chalk it up to those two women being “butch”.

Like. I understand the sentiment but come on guys 😭. THESE are your “butches” ?!

fellas is it butch to wear a jacket when it’s cold outside?

Ferrari swapped out Charles' engineer last year and found an excellent replacement that works fantastically with Charles over the radio. Now there were other reasons for this, Xavi had personal reasons for stepping back, but also it was very clearly time for a change for Charles as there were issues in performance on Xavi's end.

I do not see why they cannot do the same this year for Lewis. It's been enough rounds I think it's clear that whatever is going on with Ricky is not working. A few rounds in sure they are still getting to know each other and establish a rapport. But we are well into the season and things haven't improved.

At this point I'd like to see the team find whomever is qualified on staff who Lewis gels with better and give that a try.

The radio situation has cost performance and it's going to impact what Lewis can do the rest of the season. He needs someone who will actually communicate with him, and in a style that gives him confidence in what he's supposed to be doing on track. That has not been the case so far from Ricky.
