Agreed. All power to Seimetz.

In any decent society, Trump should get <5% of the vote. So congratulations Black women, you are the only demographic in America to prove worthy of the right to vote.

On one hand I did and still think Carruth is a creative genius and the two films he managed to complete are both masterpieces in their own right, and it’s because of my familiarity to that work that I’m deeply saddened but not in the least bit surprised that he’s turned out to be both a complete asshole and kind of an…

Yeah, that’s your standard abuser playbook where the abuser tries to spin any form of consequences as the victim’s fault for depriving the fans of such artistic/business/bullshit brilliance.

Ugh, what a fucking nightmare. Though I guess I’m grateful that Carruth decided to just out himself as an abusive creep, instead of letting fans continue to wonder why his career never really got off the ground despite his obvious talent.

Wonder if this explains Shane Carruth’s “retirement” announcement last month.

My biggest surprise today was finding out the folks behind Deadspin are starting up their own site called Defector. They’re going with a subscription-based scheme that they own. A year is $69 and comments come with a higher tier at $99.

eh, i think you are misconstruing causation here. The price pressures are coming from the manufacturers, not hte other way around.

It can’t be said enough:

I guess there’s a certain poetry to dying of a respiratory disease after a Chainsmokers concert.

Apparently the CHEAPEST tickets were $850 each.

$25,000! For The Chainsmokers?!

On the bright side, anyone willing to risk their lives for the goddamn Chainsmokers probably isnt any great loss, anyways....

David Solomon, aka DJ Sol, was the opening act. Yes. From Goldman Sachs. You can’t make this shit up people.

They can see and feel their cop societal privilege slipping away by the day, and like angry children they are lashing out. Most Americans are tired of their shit. Sucks it took four years of an absolutely ruinous president to get a good chunk of white people to stop gaslighting black people about the police brutality…
