The Batman, we've entered a new era, one fit for old graying millennials who were scarred and at the same time enthralled by The Crow as a child, eho were introduced to detective noire after school by WB's brilliant Batman animated series, who listened to early industrial goth techno pop and scoffed while the adult world marveled at the new Internet and its unlimited possibilities, whose parents worked hard and provided well but were emotionally absent, who discovered the world of secret and not so secret conspiracies, one where whistleblowers were no longer heroes but enemies of the state. This is our Batman.
[Bruce] is fully committed to being Batman and he’s just not seen by the city at all. He has no desire to be Bruce in this and he wants to just throw it away. He thinks that this is the way he can save himself, by living in this kind of Zen state as Batman, where it’s just pure instinct and no emotional baggage. —Robert Pattinson

If you skip these movies because you don't have kids you are missing out.
A job is basically "do this, do that, do this, do that" until you've had enough, then they get someone else slightly more desperate to participate in the "do this, do that, do this, do that" game.
“Women who become pregnant and have children at an early age have a decreased risk of developing breast cancer in later life; however, any pregnancy after age 35 increases the risk of breast cancer”
This global trend towards much later pregnancies while women spend their twenties and thirties on their education and careers goes against the female biology in which the prime conditions for childbearing occur in much earlier.
The modern world has opened up educational and career opportunities to women to an extent never before seen in homo sapiens society. Where heterosexual marriage in agricultural society created the economic and social framework under which women reproduced and could received the appropriate level of resource and physical security for childbearing and child raising, the modern world has replaced marriage as the number one economic vehicle with direct access to economic opportunities.
This leaves marriage for the modern woman a trimmed down institution servicing cultural emotional expectations (often artificially and tragically inflated by popular culture) and co-parenting.
I propose a new method of reproduction, one that allows the female full use of her physiology at its most fertile and reproductively secure stage, and direct access to economic opportunity.
I’ll have to outline this idea in another post. I’ve got a tennis meet up to go to. Let’s just say this new model, a model for all society, will be loosely based on the matrilineal society of the Mosuo culture.
Why do the folks who foam at the mouth appreciating the 2nd Amendment also get off to those "Back the Blue" stickers? Don't they know? The 2nd Amendment is there so we can "Shoot the Blue" when government turns tyrannical and starts crushing our humanity. That slogan is diametrically opposed to the 2nd Amendment.
The Chinese are upset about a Chinese model that looks too Chinese.
