Ellison never amassed the mainstream cache that Gates, Cook, Zuckerberg, Musk, or Bezos amassed, though. While Oracle is well-recognized within the tech world, if you were to mention it to the average person on the street, they wouldn’t have any idea of what it is, or who runs the company. Meanwhile, everyone knows…

Also, Temple of the Dog was in 1990, and only recorded 1 album, so it fits neither the timeframe nor the convention.

These are actually officially licensed, and do in fact use the Gundam name and Project Unicorn logo on the shoes.

Yeah, the tone of this article makes it sound like Slack will become just a never-ending hellscape of unsolicited messages and harassment, and it’s actually deeply misrepresenting what’s actually happening. What Slack is really doing is enabling your admins to set up DM to approved outside vendors. So for instance, my…

If I had any confidence in the safety of going to a movie, I would love to. That first condition is a looooong way from happening just yet, unfortunately, so I’m going to call it a pass for now. I wouldn’t mind a drive-in or something, but the typical multiplex is out of the question.

While rambling and incoherent, it at least isn’t blatantly self-serving and scolding the way LeBron’s response was. So minor improvement?

Also, a quick scan of Amazon Music shows that both of these artists are available for streaming. If they wanted to be consistent, they would pull their music from Amazon Music.

Hey. Bro.

I think the problem with any Gandalf v. Dumbledore matchup is that while in terms of raw power, tactical and strategic cunning, and general prowess, sure, Gandalf *could* beat Dumbledore (Maiar), neither Gandalf nor Dumbledore are possessed of supreme ego and arrogance, and feel little need to establish themselves as…

Tormund was consistently great as that obnoxious but oblivious party-crasher who you try to politely get rid of by going “oh no, sorry, we’re all out of booze,” and then he’s like, “oh don’t worry about me, I brought my own!” As he pulls out this obnoxious hip flask with some dumb slogan from the 10,000 Silver Dollar…

My guess is that the portal world is a reference to Exiles, which was actually the book that Blink featured in most prominently. Exiles was a bunch of cast-offs from different multiverses hopping from one universe to the next, preventing catastrophes. Blink was one of the central protagonists of the series throughout…

Chuck Blazer was so cartoonishly corrupt, this works quite well. He was famous for having so much embezzled cash from FIFA that he had an apartment in Trump Tower just for his cats.

A union probably wouldn’t be able to prevent a layoff, but it would be able to make sure that everyone laid off has proper compensation, affordable benefits, and sufficient time to start looking for new opportunities.

My wife and I just watched the finale last night, and after that song, we just looked at each other and said, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.” It was so good!

Amy Fumero’s delivery of “I don’t give a hoot...” is just absolutely perfect.

I kind of feel like this undersells it. They didn’t buy Pittsburgh. They bought the Durham Bulls.

I think if Philly gets another Super Bowl ring on the back of a Nick Foles performance, yeah, he should be in the Hall of Fame. Why? Because 2 rings on superb performances by the backup is noteworthy. I’m not saying Nick Foles is the best quarterback, or even a great quarterback. I’m saying that performances like that…

I caught an advance screening last weekend, and it was absolutely thrilling! Spider-Man is a character who is both humorous and tragic, and each one of the characters pulled off those two poles well. Miles, in particular, felt supremely well-defined. His reactions to things felt real to me, and his character arc was…

So if you took, say, Boca Juniors and transplanted them to La Liga, they would similarly suffer. This doesn’t diminish the importance of them to their fans. It’s okay to be a fan of a lower division team.

Most definitely. It means a few things: 1) He listens to the people around him; and 2) he encourages them to feel comfortable sharing their ideas. This is good practice, no matter what industry you are in.
