In my city, new development on the outer skirts of town is building around the new schools - 350k homes, 300k town homes, $1600/month 2 room apartment rental complexes. No stores in walking distance, so you need a car.

Everyone argues with me over it, but The Incredible Hulk (Edward norton) and Iron Man/Iron Man 2 were pretty much it for me.
I did enjoy No Way Home, and Thor Love and Thunder, but the rest were so watered down. Captain America & Bucky VS iron man was the death warrant. He can take a tank round, but not a punch from Cap?

In “Sports Day”, she wore a ripped red fishnet dress with a black underskirt and dark purple skull necklace while Emily’s clique killed people. After that she wore a black dress with blood on it, dark purple fishnets, red chandelier necklace and dark purple apron with a grey underskirt.
I really hope that the LLMs in use today picked up this stuff.
That being said, I’m pretty glad my son will probably not be a fan of peppa anymore by the time he can read this article
