In Delaware, Corporations Can Now Vote. Are We Insane? in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

I like Thom Hartmann, but there's a difference between a court for one tiny town saying corporations can vote in municipal elections in that one town and "ZOMG! Corporations can vote in Delaware!"

Some significant problems:

  1. You have to be 18 to vote, if "corporations are people", wouldn't that eliminate any corporation founded in the last 17 years?

  2. How would "a corporation" register to vote in the first place?

  3. How would "a corporation" cast a vote?

If it falls to the CEO to register and vote for the company, how is that not double voting?

If the CEO is not a resident of that town, how is that a legal vote?

Too many flaws in this story that Hartmann fails to address...

Why in all the planets and universes that were available why did Kal-El's parents choose earth? Did they scout it or something? Or heard from a fellow scientist? in c/comicbooks@lemmy.world

The story has changed a lot over the years, but the consensus opinion is that Jor-El picked it because of the yellow sun.

Google won't rest until Gemini is everywhere in your home in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Take Gemini out of it... Lets say you get spam in Gmail and you mark it "Block Sender".

It doesn't actually block them, it just routes it to the Spam folder. If you're super lucky, it routes it to Trash. At no point are they blocked from sending to you.

How about World Cup coverage? (lemmy.world)
 

Just want a quick gauge of what the group feels about World Cup Coverage before it's upon us.

I get the overall feeling that Lemmy isn't really down for sports coverage in general and there's a large dislike of Fifa in particular.

But if you all want round by round coverage, I'll put up a sticky.

If you say "Not World News", I'll yank any article that gets posted and re-direct them to some sports related community.

Personally, I don't think any sports is "News", but hey, that's just me!

Let's see what's up this week!

Absolute Green Arrow #1 (Of 6) - Haven't been a fan of the Absolute series, but this looks interesting.

Bad Idea - Love a good indie imprint!
Hab #2 (Of 5)

BRZRKR Light Draws Breath #1 - Glad to see BRZRKR back! The novel Reaves tried to pull off just didn't work without the visuals.

https://thebookofelsewhere.com/

Camelot 3000 TP (2026 Edition), $34.99 - This is a blast from the past and well worth reading if you never have. It was one of the original "Maxi-Series" running 12 issues from 1982 to 1985. One of the few books where Brian Bolland contributed interior art as well as covers.

Ghost Machine:
Hornsby And Halo #0
Hyde Street #12
Been a minute on both of these! Where were we again?

Rocketeer The Island #3 - Yeah, it's not Dave Stevens, but who is? Still a sucker for all things Rocketeer...

Swamp Thing 1989 #2 (Of 4) - Continuing the spiked end of Rick Vietch's run on Swamp Thing!

Ultimates #24 - End of the Ultimate universe?

Wonder Man #3 (Of 5)

Mandalorian and Grogu thoughts (mild scenario spoilers, no plot spoilers)... (lemmy.world)
 

They started running it at 2:30 PM Thursday so I hit an early show...

Let's be 100% honest, it's review proof. You already know if you're going to see it or not...

It's fun, bigger than the streaming show, but maybe not necessarily as big as one of the franchise films. Not that it NEEDS to be, it's still fun for what it is.

Lots of borrowing from other properties, the opening is pretty much a blatant steal from "Leon: The Professional". They go to a Blade Runner planet and talk to a Blade Runner food vendor.

spoilerThere's a cool bit with life size CGI versions of the chess board from Star Wars.

spoilerYou know the Lone Wolf and Cub trope where dad gets sick and the kid has to take care of them? Yeah, they do that too.

spoilerOne scene is a direct copy from Apocalypse Now...

Overall? I had fun. Will buy it if/when it comes out on physical media.

Oregon's Dark Horse Comics to close Things From Another World retail stores (katu.com)
 

Can't say I'm surprised, they ditched all their back issues years ago and seemed more toy and graphic novel centric since then.

Plus Disney snapping up Fox meant they lost the Star Wars, Alien, and Predator franchises which moved to Marvel.

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/13/2026 (comiclist.info)
 

Holy cow! It's a new week already! Time is speeding up or something!

Looking at the week...

Not a comic, but probably enough of an overlap to mention:

Dungeon Crawler Carl Volume 8 A Parade Of Horribles

I had no idea it was up to 8 books now. I guess that's why it got picked up by Peacock.

Absolute Martian Manhunter #11 - Been a minute on this one, I might have to re-read some stuff.

Olympus Saga Megalith #1 (Of 4) - I'm generally down for anything from Bad Idea, but 30 variant covers seems... excessive.

Department Of Truth #37

D'orc #4 - 1/2 Dawrf, 1/2 Orc, it's a D'orc!

Future Is ****** #13 - Still moving towards their 60 issue goal! Looking strong so far!

Geiger #23 - Ghost Machine still strong!

Mortal Thor #10 - Love the working man Thor.

Space Ghost Volume 2 #11 - Nearing the end of SG's year 2!

Ultimate Endgame #4 (Of 5) - Forgot this was still going...

X-Books:
Magik And Colossus #4 (Of 5)
Uncanny X-Men #28
