    Jeet Heer Retweeted The Hill

    Remember how in one of Chris Reeves Superman movies, Lex Luthor wanted to trigger an earthquake to sink California into the ocean so to improve real estate values for the land he bought inland. It once seemed like the ne plus ultra of cartoon villainy.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1125815306130079744 …

        Wait, I thought that was a Bond plot. One of the last Moore ones, I think.

        Every time I hear Pompeo talk, I wonder who actually thought he’d make a good Secretary of State. Listen to him. I’ve seen better HS student council speeches

        Counter-point: it was the most oddly realistic supervillanous scheme, and seemed so even at the time when I was a boy.

        Turns out if he wanted to move the coastline further inland, all he really had to do was buy stock in Exxon...

        They’ve been cutting through the ice for at least 12 years now. This is bad news but it’s also not new.
