Review: "Deadpool 2" is a dud

Many of the jokes in this movie were backed in fatphobia, which rubbed me the wrong way. Russell (Julian Dennison), both an antagonist and a protagonist of the film, is the teenage boy at the brunt of most of these jokes. At one point, Deadpool (Reynolds) even armchair-diagnoses the teen with diabetes as a punchline.

    Just watched it and your review pretty much sums up how I feel. The post credit sequences were fun and very knowing. I know I’ll watch it again but perhaps not as much as DP1.m4ufree And popcornflix

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
