People who haven't experienced hardcore abusive narcissism often don't get just how profound narcissistic projection is. Sometimes it's conscious manipulation--like in DARVO--but other times it's like they truly believe it. Truly bizarre to experience in real life.
"If you are an egomaniacal man-child, there is nothing worse than having a sea of adoring fans who will reinforce your worst behavior, to fight your enemies... You are a victim of your own cruelty. You are a victim of your own narcissism"
-- Hasan Piker speaks from experience
- Superman was a universally praised and successful first theatrical entry with a fast sequel turnaround
- Lanterns is critically acclaimed with Emmy buzz and made HBO viewership history
- Clayface, one of the most experimental CBMs ever made, is already making its budget back with strong, growing word of mouth
- Even Supergirl, which was an objective miss and bomb theatrically, got a second life and performed well on HBO Max
"DC brand is in trouble" and it's the overall strongest and most unified the brand has been in over a decade
The budget isn’t really a point worth defending in regards to CLAYFACE.
Listen, even MORBIUS debuted with $39M. CLAYFACE, which is drawn from one of the biggest IP brands in the world, dropped with $15M less than Sony's horror spinoff.
A lower budget may limit the financial
It should be far bigger news that Trump is openly using Nazi rhetoric at his rallies, and that his party is therefore—under his leadership—a Nazi party. It means anyone who votes Republican is voting for a Nazi party.
If you've watched his rallies, you know this is fact.
Trump: El-Sayed would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector
So explain why Snyder's new film doesn't have a distributor yet? Why haven't you guys been campaigning Hollywood to help Snyder get one? What happened to Zack Snyder that went from being one of the biggest directors in Hollywood to no distributor at all with poor reviews? 😅
you try so hard to be weirdos & thinking oh wow i’ve seen some pr team stuff that depp chose to show the world so they must be true 😍 aw he’s a victim wow😍 while he compares himself to a OJ and his own lawyer also got inspired by the OJ case.. u all so brainwashed scary asf
My ex-husband was abusive in all the ways a man could be abusive. One of his favorite tactics--in psychological abuse--was to bring up my past traumas to try to weaken me.
He would say to me, "Oh you think I'm mean? Am I as mean as the men who raped you? Do you feel raped right now?"
I remember finding this place inside of my mind and thinking of it as my "Invincible Summer." A place where I could internally go and hide, while watching him as he abused me, almost completely detached.
When I observed him from that place, he failed to trigger me, which is what he wanted to do. He wanted to break me. He achieved the opposite.
Every time he reminded me of being raped, I became stronger, not weaker. I became stronger because I could remember what it felt like, after rape, to live in shame and darkness and secrecy and stigma.
And I could also remember how it felt once I recovered from that trauma. Like I had once been drowning and then I could finally breathe. Like I could live in the light.
That made me want to fight. The darkness was all-encompassing but also, I knew, precisely because I had recovered from rape, that somewhere in the world, the light also existed. I knew that I could fight to live in that light once again.
Vivek Ramaswamy used Amy Acton's childhood trauma to weaken her. Not just to falsely tell people she was a "liar." But to put her in that same position. One of being trapped and ashamed, mired in the ghosts of her own trauma. He wanted her to be engulfed in darkness.
It's obviously not working.
Amy Acton is thriving.
And that Democratic crowd in Ohio? They're a part of her own Invincible Summer. And part of mine too.
I'm so proud to be a Democrat right now.
🚨AMY ACTON IS THE FIGHTER WE NEED:
ACTON: “Hope is what got me through sexual abuse, living through cold nights where all I could think about was how to keep my brother safe and warm.”
Reminder:
Silenced is a documentary based on Amber Heard’s lawyer’s book.
It claims to be about the “weaponisation of defamation laws” against victims, yet fails to mention how Amber Heard weaponised defamation laws 1001 days (exactly) before being sued herself.
Amazing. Donald and Melania Trump went to vote in Florida today, and reportedly had the polling place cleared of everyone else just so they could make their appearance.
Compare that to Joe Biden, who stands in line like an ordinary person and waits his turn to vote.
It's mind-boggling that some still call this guy a “man of the people” when he seemingly wants absolutely nothing to do with average Americans.
The contrast couldn't be more obvious.
I am against any kind of collective punishment of anybody for any reason.
I don't agree with the Israeli government demolishing the homes of Palestinians in Hebron. I also condemn the attack on Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint.
Both acts are wrong and will not lead to peace.
Mike Rogers *could* be a good candidate, running as the 'moderate' republican guy (pretty much what he used to be). Instead, since the entire party is terrified of upsetting Trump, you get pathetic stuff like this.
Oh my goodness -- for nearly 3 minutes, Mike Rogers refuses to answer Kristen Welker's repeated questions about if he considers himself to be "a MAGA Republican"
Just pumping out 190 proof straight up racism and the media will sanitize and sane wash it b/c this is the guy who keeps the lights on in their newsrooms.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."
Again, I can't overemphasize how this was the entirety of the RW answer, every time Trump's corruption was brought up.
I would try to argue with my (Rogan brain-poisoned friend) and every time it would just be, "yeah, well what about Nancy Pelosi?"
Anyway, we are now doing insanely unprecedented levels of corruption, including insider stock trading. Ahh well...
Nancy Pelosi made 200 stock trades in her entire 40-year political career.
Donald Trump made 28,700 stock trades in just 1.5 years as president.
MAGA likes to scream about Pelosi's stock trades but not a word about Trump using the presidency to enrich himself.
@grok verify
If democrats support fascists around the globe they support fascists domestically. If they can support Israel, support Pinochet, support Zelenskyy support any fascist anywhere, they v do not care about fascism at home. Defeating fascism is rhetoric to these ppl.
Any other president saying he didn't give a damn that we're paying through the nose to fill up our cars with gas would be buried under an avalanche of negative media coverage but Trump gets to play by his own set of rules. Won't even be remembered by tomorrow. Infuriating.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.
Amber Heard's fans are trying to justify the violence of that abuser when we have literal videos and testimonies of her admitting that she did it. They are really struggling to prove that someone like this could be a victim
