I never expected a 100%, word-for-word adaptation but this...

- Company gets called out for shady shit.

I don’t even use anything impacted, and I’m just sick of this attitude. The lack of care, the ‘fuck the public’, the sheer arrogant contempt for others is not just nauseating but wearing.

Wait, seriously? They did mystic powers right away?

Season One had the emergence of mystic powers. And - spoiler alert - the premise of ‘future history can be roughly predicted using large-scale human dynamics, and in doing so we will set up an institute (a foundation, if you will) to preserve human knowledge and help reduce the millennia of violence and regression…

I think the motto in the writing room must be “Less Asimov Every Year — More Lucas and Herbert.” Season three will probably have the emergence of mystic powers.

I recognize that adapting the first book, especially, would be difficult (due to being a collection of stories published serially), but honestly - this really shouldn’t be called Foundation. It waved at the idea and then left it behind pretty quickly, which is disappointing (if not unsurprising).

Perhaps I’m too big an Asimov stan or whatever, but watching an action hero Seldon confront the emperor in the midst of these battles and explosions seems wrong and sad to me. I don’t think it’s an angry fanboy rant, just personal nostalgic hippie melancholy. I miss my “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”…

I disagree.  Good writing can make for good adaptions even for difficult material.  I want to love this, but it’s sad how completely sideways it is.

She is there to fall on the sword so Elon can blame a woman when Twitter has to file for bankruptcy in like a year.

....at least it’s cheaper than one skin, right guys?

The only thing more embarrassing than thinking she can pull off that green dress is thinking that a single sentient being will buy her bullshit about Twitter becoming “the world’s most accurate real-time information source and a global town square for communication.”

That ship was torpedoed and sunk long before Musk…

No, no; she said what she meant to. In Twitter’s reality, Twitter is the only real source of truth. If you share Twitter/Elon’s worldview, you can trust everything you read there without a second thought.

Does her contract include giving birth to Musk’s next brood?

Considering how twitchy and jittery Elon is, it could just as well be 6 days before he cans her... :P

Fuck you, Linda, you AND your false equivalencies. Just because someone may be insightful doesn’t mean everyone, including actual Nazis, should get a megaphone to screech their hateful messages across the entire world for everyone to see and hear.

Let’s dig our heels in (4 inches or flat!)

We should start a Gizmodo pool for how long it takes before Elon shit cans her or she quits after dealing with his special brand of bullshit.. I’ll take the 6 month square for $20

Translation: “I was offered shit ton of money, plus massive bonuses if I can convince the advertisers to come back and put their ads in front of the Nazi content.”
