The White House is pulling Jim Acosta’s press pass for confronting Donald Trump. They have released edited video in order to make Jim look like he was reacting violently to a WH official trying to physically take his mic and he called a black woman journalist racist for asking him a question about his declaration of being a nationalist.

Just, you know, saying it out loud to see if I can make sense of what is happening.

It was edited INFOWARS video. You know, Infowars, Alex Jones’ channel?

I don’t understand why people assume Loki stripped Odin of his powers. Odin says he broke Loki’s spell. What did he break it with if not his own magic? The power of a senior bingo night win? Pudding? His new friend Martha’s dentures? The weight of the enormous expense senior care in the United States is?

And then he just dicks about on Midgard, waiting to die, instead of utilizing Strange’s magic or his own to go back to Asgard. Strange literally says that he chose to stay put. CHOSE. That’s… not on Loki. Why do people continue to say Loki’s in any way at fault for Ragnarok? *buries head in hands*

Pretty obviously, Loki cast the Asgardian version on a Confundus Charm. We know he has some power over memories (which I still think he got through exposure to the Mind Stone). If Odin still had his powers but no memories, for a while he wouldn’t remember how to *use* his powers, but those powers themselves might start to break through the memory spell without his conscious control.

Three people bookmarked “Abyss” in the past 2 days. Did one of y’all rec it without tagging me? 😛 (Of course, if someone did, it was probably someone who doesn’t know me on Tumblr.) I’m grateful for the publicity in any case.

Mayor Wilkins: This year is too important to let a loose cannon rock the boat. … “Loose cannon,” “rock the boat.” Is that a mixed metaphor? Boats did have cannons. And a loose one would cause it to rock.

After finishing “Angel,” revisiting Wesley’s first appearance in “Buffy” season 3 is a real trip.

That visual gag of Wesley and Giles taking off their glasses and cleaning them with a handkerchief in exactly the same way at the same time was a great touch.
