Director James Gunn shared direct messages from a hardcore Guardians of the Galaxy fan and Twitter is getting a lot of laughs out of it.

For the past two years, a fan has been sending Gunn multiple messages a week begging him to add a ferret to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Yes, you read that right.

A ferret.

Giphy

Gunn even shared screenshots of the conversation.


It's always the same message:

"So will u put a FERRET in GOTG3? (I KNOW YOU SAW THIS) 😊 I'm from STL too, do it for the HOMIES!"

The "ferret" they're referencing might be the nickname for a detective in the Marvel Universe—Dennis Piper.

The Wiki page on Piper says:

"Piper eventually changed careers and became a private detective/crime writer under the assumed name Leslie Lenrow."
"His detective work earned him the nickname 'Ferret' for his ability to 'ferret' out criminals."
"He often beat the local police in solving crimes, gaining him some notoriety with the police. He adopted a pet Ferret named Nosey who sometimes helped him in his cases."

Guardians of the Galaxy already has a talking racoon that fights space crime, what's another critter put into the mix?

Maybe this would be a great addition to the wacky band of misfits.

Gunn could always see how a ferret tests.

As for who the mystery St. Louis messenger is, we may never know for sure.

But a few people claimed to be the one.











We'll just have to see the movie to find out if a weasel joins the Guardians' resident procyon.

FYI—neither ferrets (weasel) nor raccoons (procyon) are classified as rodents.

The Guardians 3release is slated for May of 2023.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

In the wake of the election, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has risen to a new level of fame after he was tapped as the "future of the Democratic Party" in the wake of Kamala Harris's loss.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
