I'm still trying to figure out what Disney/Marvel is doing for this stupid 'multiverse' idea.  One thing that occurred to me was that it could be easily argued that this was an idea Marvel had helped to create.  Despite being men in tights punishing others in stories aimed at children, there are still some relevant aspects.

For one thing, most comics at the time didn't have ongoing characters and those did that didn't have much in the way of continuity.  Kids weren't expected to read for more than a few years anyway and the creators were all well into adulthood.  There was nothing to be changed and the stories were handed in to the editor who published them when he felt like it.  The editors at DC paid very little attention to each other's books.

Marvel was barely away from cancellation and had a very small staff by this point.  Obviously other people were involved but their advance came down to three people, Kirby, Ditko and Lee who had a limited number of comics they were allowed to publish.  With Kirby and Ditko coming up with the stories and Stan editing and adding the dialogue, it was much easier to pay attention to what was going on with their characters.  That way, when the characters met - which I think was mainly a way to promote each other's comics, they were all up-to-date on what was going on in their own lives at the time.

That's basically a new concept in any medium, producing work that builds on previous releases.  There were stories serialized, but when they ended, they'd be collected and known as a novel.  Actors who appeared in other movies or tv shows were either new characters made up for the episode or basically playing themselves as famous actors.  I've never seen George Reeves appearance on I Love Lucy so I'm not sure if he was playing Superman or himself as a tv actor on Superman, but just the rarity of such an event helps this episode remain famous today.

Comic strips couldn't really build continuity because there wasn't enough space to put that information in a strip and people weren't expected to read every single day without exception.  Marvel actually brought in fans who did read every issue (and complain when they were contradictory.)  It would be a long time before DC really started taking that seriously and other major comics never bothered to start, at least not for a long time.

But this is a perception which just doesn't happen in other mediums, even though it resembles real life.  We're all starring in our own stories and even when we meet other people, we're each doing our own thing.  But Stan, Jack and Steve were able to handle that with their fictional characters because it was small and limited enough that they could keep track of it all.

So I think that perception is at least partially what's helping to fuel this 'multiverse' nonsense, even though it's clearly going the wrong way, like we all live in our own separate universes.  Then there's the collectivist corporate influence coming in from above.  It's also why I wonder if Disney/Marvel and DC/Warner Bros. are having such problems with movies now.  All they know is the corporate-owned style which requires enormous numbers of people to create even the most basic product.  Even the worst comics never had to deal with that many people and we're talking about a medium which can be added to by one person sitting down and drawing a series of pictures with their own characters.

I should add that I think it's specific to the comics medium, that and animated cartoons are the only ones we have some strange-yet-willful ignorance of who actually creates them.  As very small children, we learn what drawing and painting are, we learn how to write so we know that's what writers do.  Soon we learn that people need to play a musical instrument to actually make music.  Theater, tv and movies, we start to recognize actors and see them playing different roles.  But comics and cartoons, we find it very easy to pay attention to the characters and stories and nothing else.

This just shows that it's 100% deliberate.  They don't care how much it hurts the company or how many customers they chase away, they're going to keep promoting this creature.  I'd heard they were doing this a little while ago, but they obviously haven't changed their minds while watching what this thing has done to one of the most popular beers on the planet, they want more of that.

If nothing else, why insist that it be the same insane lunatic promoting the product?  They obviously aren't trying to find someone that looks good - odd for a makeup company - and they've already seen what he brings to the mix.  Why not pick a different transgender individual to give money to?  This is very very deliberate.  Or they're just drunk, I dunno...

Ok, the left sees a benefit to breaking large corporations, I could get that, but then why aren't they promoting how glad they are that Budweiser and Maybelline are damaging themselves like this?  It's not like they're going to buy any of the product to show how proud they are of the made-up gender promoting it, so what's the up-side?  Benefits from government regulations that most of us have no clue about?

□ [“Karine Jean-Pierre Says It’s 'Entirely Normal' For Biden to Have Notecard with Reporter’s Question Written On It"]

Does she have all the questions she's asked written on notepads?  She could hold them up right there for the cameras to show now *normal* it is.  Of course that would show that all questions must be approved in advance and suggest that she doesn't really think about them, she just repeats what she's told.  Which is basically the truth, so why not admit it?

The media is at least slightly trying to stand up for themselves to look like something other than mindless puppets just like their audience.  Why don't actual POTUSs have to use these, why does this old idiot need to know everything in advance just to give a basic answer to soft questions?  We can't even ask if he made that decision himself or did someone tell him to do that.

It's looking more and more like all of this is a diversion.  The decrepit idiot who self-identifies as our leader, the media's recent problems, the trans nonsense, the virus/vaccine, even Russia/Ukraine and the economy.  It's all trying to keep us from standing up against whatever the real enemy is, whether it's China or Artificial Intelligence or a demon cult.

□ [“Hackers are breaking into AT&T email accounts to steal cryptocurrency"]

It does sounds like the push for cryptocurrency is facing problems.  With printed money, we can actually look at it and it doesn't take a lot of experience to see if it's fake.  Cryptocurrency is all based on computers, which can be hacked, which get controlled by whoever runs that system, and there's no proof that it's worth anything in the first place.

Obviously I support printed money.  It's probably better for it to be based on gold and silver, although that's not a big deal to me.  I don't pretend to know anything about the basis for money, but I recognize its importance as a tool for trade, far better than vague barter or blatant theft.  It's vital for a peaceful group, that we can trade this money for those goods and services and both sides agree with what the money is worth.

Bitcoin was clearly a sham, I've noticed that seems to have gone away, as have other attempts at a cybercurrency.  Whoever actually supports this stuff is probably waiting for the government to handle everything, as with every other part of life.  They command, we obey and that's all the currency required for existence.

□ [“Indiana School Employees Charged After Forcing 7-Year-Old Special Needs Boy to Eat His Own Vomit With a Spoon"]

And we're letting these creatures live why?  Children are the targets for all tyrants and schools are the most convenient place to brainwash them.  These schools are filled with abusive perverts and scum who should just be executed on the spot.  It's very easy to understand why so many parents are trying to get their kids out, as is why the government wants to mandate more and more.

You cand understand why it's so easy to hire these monsters, they're in line with the abuse and demon-worship of our rulers.  They've been there for a long time and have been tearing all civility and decency down wherever they can.  They have nothing else to do with their lives, so they go to school and get paid for it.

This is going to continue until we stand up.  Several people were involved in abusing this 7-year old and only a few were even punished.  They're not a minority and they're not going away, they lust after power and control over every child, no matter how old.  Only then, so they say, will the world be the way they want it, perfect.  If and when things go kinetic, they're going to be some of the first targets and that alone will make a much better world for our children.
