Around this same time, FACT mag reported that remixes made by people who owned the rights were being yanked from the platform, and that whole legitimate accounts for radio stations were being shut down.

Yep, they were good at what they did.
Compared to some of these other one hit wonders, they actually made games, rather than attempt to sue everyone.

The acquisition price seems sane given they are bringing in $1.33 billion in revenue a year. 4* annual profit is not a unusual formula for an acquisition price and I would be surprised if their profit is that much below their revenue. It seems a little much here, given how risky this kind of business is though.

they also made Bejewled, Bookworm, Feeding Frenzy, and Zuma among many other games.

just for reference EA bought Popcap games back in 2011 for $650 million.

This is American rich person hunting, equivalent to English Noble’s pheasant hunting where the Lords sit on the firing line while birds were flushed to them.

I guarantee you that field was seeded with captive birds and the guides worked the dogs and got a bird to sit, walked Huckabee up, then flushed the bird for him.

But what if it’s only for public relations, not for feeding your family? Still cool?

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.

School to prison pipeline. It’s a thing for black and brown kids. I don’t know if it’s also connected to privatized prisons or why it’s gotten to this point (yes, racism, obvs), but this is it in action.

The biggest takeaway should be that Lott said that both girls, including the one arrested for filming, would still be getting charged with “disturbing the school.”

Who let the unattened child in here?

Many have lamented the current feminist movement for its obsession with turning on women who hold the “wrong” opinions, for its screaming and in-fighting online (never mind the fact there was screaming and infighting long before the internet, and that part of that perception might just be due to visibility).

They’ll probably become the women policing other women and making videos about how “leggings aren’t pants”.

There shouldn’t even be any “pro” gamergate panels, because they lack any sort of legitimate agenda. It’s like when news networks give equal time to climate change deniers.

Yeah. Am I the only one who does NOT WANT TO GO TO THERE?

Can there be too much gay?

I mean, if you’re going for lower fat turkey has that. But the cancer link is supposedly due to nitrates. Most turkey bacon is processed meat too and therefore has nitrates just like regular bacon (not all turkey bacon maybe, but most).

If women led movie franchises and starred in movies with equal frequency as men, they’d have a point. Replacing one of the few female-led action franchises with a male lead is patently NOT the same thing as remaking a comedy with female leads instead of male.

Isn’t forcing someone to have a child they don’t want a lot more like slavery?

I’ll say it again: Feminism without intersectionality is just various shades of bigotry.
