I just discovered House of R and Midnight Boys and I have been delighted. Haven't been able to find a lot of media that engages with nerd culture from a fellow female lens, so that's been really refreshing.

I especially appreciate how Jo and Mal actually engage critically with content that everyone else just glazes to absurdity like Daredevil BA season 2. They were able to point out the positives while also correctly pointing out the clunky parts when I've seen nothing but uncritical praise for it elsewhere.

Also this is just a personal thing, but THANK YOU MAL for being the no. 1 Karen Page-hater. I have never found a "safe place" in nerd-dom for myself as a woman to express my hatred of Karen Page as she is written in the show. Apparently me not liking a contrived female character that literally just either mirrors or caves to the male characters she's opposite of makes me a self-hating woman or a misogynist. And yes she is 10x better when she is opposite the Punisher.

Mind you this was a frum shul. I don't understand what this has to do to with Shabbat, the parsha or my nephew's bar mitzvah. It pissed me off that it was read on this day, or even at all. It had nothing to do with anything and just felt random.

>BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

>A PROCLAMATION

>This Jewish American Heritage Month, we honor the countless contributions of Jewish Americans throughout our Nation’s 250 glorious years of independence, and we celebrate their unwavering commitment to the values that make our country great — faith, family, and freedom.

>In his letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790, President George Washington beautifully said, “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” Since the earliest days of our Republic, Jewish Americans have helped build the cause of liberty and sustain the greatness of our Nation. Among them was the iconic Haym Salomon, an early supporter of the war for independence. As stories tell us, Salomon was instrumental in the success of our Continental Congress and Founding Fathers, and rallied support for freedom. He was a zealous advocate against tyranny, and even after imprisonment by the British Crown, he continued his work in defense of freedom. In the end, he gave everything to the success of the American Revolution. Like so many Jewish Americans who follow in his footsteps, Salomon’s legacy stands as a testament to the unshakable belief in the American promise.

>In the same letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport, President Washington proclaimed that the United States “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” Under my leadership, we are aggressively fighting the violence against Jewish Americans that increased under my predecessor, prosecuting hateful criminals to the fullest extent of the law, and working to end the scourge of anti-Semitism throughout our institutions, especially on college campuses. As President, I will never stop fighting to protect our birthright of religious freedom — a sacred right that continues to guide our Nation, drawing us closer to the Almighty each and every day.

>Throughout this historic year, we rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and rededicate ourselves to the cause of liberty and justice for all. In special honor of 250 glorious years of American independence and on the weekend of Rededicate 250 — a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving — Jewish Americans are encouraged to observe a national Sabbath. From sundown on May 15 to nightfall on May 16, friends, families, and communities of all backgrounds may come together in gratitude for our great Nation. This day will recognize the sacred Jewish tradition of setting aside time for rest, reflection, and gratitude to the Almighty.

>This month, we celebrate the contributions that Jewish Americans have made to our way of life, we honor their role in shaping the story of our Nation, and we remember that religious devotion, learning, and service to others are enduring pillars of a thriving culture. Through every trial and triumph, the contributions of Jewish Americans have shaped our past, have strengthened our communities, and will continue to inspire American greatness for generations to come.

>NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2026 as Jewish American Heritage Month. I call upon Americans to celebrate the heritage and contributions of Jewish Americans and to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies. I further call on all Americans to celebrate their faith and freedom throughout this year, during this month, and especially on Shabbat to celebrate our 250th year.

>IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

>DONALD J. TRUMP

Does it bug anyone else that whenever Jon Bernthal takes pills as the Punisher, he always crunches them

This is who the MCU should have cover for Matt while he's in prison

From what I understand this is a sub for theory, but could we have a sub where we analyze different media from a radfem lens?

Just want to appreciate House of R for a moment

God I wish Marvel owned the rights to all these characters at the same time so we could see Jessica kicking the shit out of Norman Osborn for thinking he killed her baby (she was pregnant)

Yesterday in shul during my nephew's bar mitzvah they read this letter from Trump about Jewish American Heritage month 🙄🤮
