The two characters you gave are great examples of what I'm talking about. Original Black Panther is more a white fantasy of blackness than anything else. Do Lee and Kirby takle issues unique to Africans or write about the African experience? Not in any of the OG comics I've read. Representation is important and what they did at that time is a positive but, it lack the depth and incite I'm talking about.

Bendis has definitely tried to cover the issues I'm talking about but, has also received criticism for how he wrote them. Some of that criticism may be just because he is a white person writing about a Black/Latinx characters experience, I'm not qualified to say. It's definitely weird that Miles' dad shares a name with the President of the Confederate States though.

All the smart people who used to work there probably left or where forced out and replaced with maga, making them useless.

Sure, I'm not saying he doesn't have the technical skill and knowledge to make the movie. But its like hiring a white guy to direct Black Panther, a black person would have a better understanding of the characters. I haven't watched Thunderbolts yet but, I'm assuming it doesn't cover social issues that ate key the X-Men. Or am I wrong? Maybe I'll give it a watch this week if I can.

Probably end up playing the Rockets in the first round who also looks like a train wreck, so we got that going lol

Is this the right guy for X-Men, I haven't really seem anything he's made before. Is hiring a (straight?) rich white guy the best idea to direct a movie essentially about oppression.

Injuries in general seem like they're at an all time high. When I started watching basketball as a kid, playing 82 games was almost the norm.

Obviously KD is a way better player on the court. But is he actually more "toxic" than Brooks? I feel like these two clips And the whole" Getofmydickerson" thing point to yes?

My wife and I are looking to buy our first home and naturally are concerned about schools for our kids. I was looking at one school and it had a "B+" from Niche but a "4" from GreatSchools which are kind of contradictory? Does anyone have any advice on which sire is better, third options, or are all these sites actualy useless lol?

If anyone is interested in having a feature to wipe your phone, GRAPHENEOS has a duress pin option that will wipe your phone from the lock screen and leave only the OS installed. AFAIK this us only available on Google Pixel devices like the gentleman in the article had.

Cool new slip joint design from Tsunoda.

Jaws are a bit narrower vs the old design but, also feel much lighter.

New pliers have three slot design similar to Snap-On and Knipex models which allows then to grip larger bolts and etc.

New design has recessed pivot point making them even narrower.

New design only comes in bare metal handles. Personally I've always preferred the traditional plastic dipped handle, never tried bare metal.

The most interesting design and only original/new aspect though is the curved jaws. They're meant to grip in the middle of bolts so you didn't round the corners and help gripping angles in general. Never seen that before, will be interesting to see how it works out in real world use.
