All of this was set in motion when the turks conquered constantinople in the 15th century

I’m sure Trump is itching to blast Iran On Twitter over this, but the US shooting down Iran Air Flight 655 and refusing to apologize makes that a bad idea. So he will probably tweet about it anyway.

Perversely speaking, their deaths most likely stopped the inevitable march to war between the US and Iran. Iranians (and more importantly Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei) wanted blood for killing General be Suilimaini. Seeing that their bloodlust led to the deaths of 163 innocents will take the wind out of the sails of war…

Yeah, no. It’s just another way for a bunch of private equity investors to try to game an existing low-end job into a Wall Street exclusive. It’s all bs; plus, it’s so annoying to see a some kind of exploratory exploitative startup claim to be yet another disruptive business venture. No, it’s just another way to frame…

I don’t think the show was a disaster, honestly, and feel people tend to blow things out of proportion purely to create internet drama over what is just a TV show.

It’s an allegory and after watching the film, they explain a lot of the stuff (just not the wear and tear, and I think that’s part of what the author of the original comic was going for. It’s about short-sightedness. If you watch the trailer, it’s supposed to be 6 years after the start of the ice age, during which it…

Movies have been made about bad guys before and dumb, young, white, males have misinterpreted them before.

“Variety’s Editor in Chief Claudia Eller reacted to the news by writing, ‘Are you kidding me?? Is this unprecedented???’”

The dwarves are Netflix brass/shareholders trying to get more and more share value making rasher and rasher decisions. The Balrog is the bearish overcorrection on share prices from Wall Street when they realize such growth cannot last.

Abrams’ emotional investment in Star Wars is purely one of nostalgia. He likes the franchise, but only because it reminds him of the movies he enjoyed as a kid. And he makes these movies because they allow him to recreate his favorite beats from the older films.

Answer to the $64,000 question right there: it doesn’t matter, because Abrams doesn’t care about those kinds of things.

One possibility not on the list, she is intentionally trying to look like she’s gone bad for some infiltration or something.

The Dark Rey shot in that trailer is shameless. J.J.’s goddamn mystery box crap. No one is buying that Rey goes bad. It’s misdirection, or stright-up lying again. “He’s not playing Khan.” - Abrams

“Hey there, we’re your overly compensated management team. We fucked up everything we could and don’t really know how to fix any of this so we’re firing all you dumbasses and hiring a whole new squad of dumbasses. Btw, we’re all getting raises.”

Category 5 shitstorms have always existed, but global dumbening has increased their frequency and strength. The Cape Merde type systems that roll off of the right side of American politics in recent years have been particularly devastating to those living in low lying scientific communities.

As long as this device’s accuracy and reliability stand up to independent peer review, I’m fine with this. This makes legal recreational weed closer to reality and it’s a step forward in keeping people accountable for their vices.

Technically, it won’t have broken the record until it returns to Earth. The record is for flight duration of a reusable vehicle; there are many satellites that have been in orbit (and operational) for much longer than the X-37B.

At this point, I do agree, but I think it can go either way.
She does have direct ties to the Chinese industry from her family, and a privileged young person is always the first one to tell you how proud she is of the people that supported her family’s way of life.
Either way, Disney is going to black list her after…

She’s a rich celebrity from a rich family and she has a US passport and career. If any Chinese citizen was equipped to speak against the brutality of their state then it was her. Of course, that would jeopardize the position of privilege she and her family enjoy, but we tend to laud those who sacrifice for their…

A pro-Chinese attitude is critical to Disney box office success.
