Given how many ipod-substitutes there are (and have always been) and the fact that there’s no longer a cool-factor in owning one, they’re likely competing for scraps on the profit margin. Meanwhile, Apple’s stock price basically dictates that anything they do have huge payoff/growth potential. They can’t justify…

Presumably, really cutting edge ED drugs.

You can't tell me what it means to be a fascist, you fascism-fascist!

I mean, yeah, but it’s much weirder to me that Christians are expected to be really Xtreme-1985. Monster trucks and shred-metal...I guess it shows the age of the organizers, ie, ~55 years old.

I just remember thinking it made since, given he was sharing revenues in band with like 9 dudes

Gaffigan is largely inoffensive, but grumpiness has always been a major part of his comedy persona. It’s an edge (albeit a relatively safe one) that crosses well the line of polite amicability.

The writer of the article derisively called the movie “planes go fast” throughout. What do you want from these people?

Boy, hard to imagine that backfiring spectacularly. If only there were numerous examples of social media sites turning into absolute sewers thanks to “free speech” from which we could learn...

If you’ve been following republican politics as of late, baselessly calling huge swaths of peope “pedos” appears to be the culmination of the American Dream ~250 years in the making.

Nice! Double coverage so everyone *knows* you love weed.

I think I managed to own one of their only shirts without the flag. Even as a teen in the deep south in the mid 90s, I felt icky about that shit.

Yeah, that’s my first thought just about every time the band comes up. Darrel was an inimitable, generational talent, but their whole catalog wears Anselmo like an albatross. His lyrics age poorly, reputation even more so.

Sadly, I suspect the answer to your question comes down to who can make the biggest stink in the GOP primaries, and the price of gas come November.

Agreed, but I squirm when things get called “corrupt”, “evil”, etc without a shit-ton of qualification. I feel like it leads down a slippery slope of lazy diagnoses + lazier solutions (BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!111).

You’re talking long term consequences. None of these fuckwit culture warriors care about the long term, any more than they care about The Children, The Bible, etc.

Given Disney’s prior, successful history of gay-coded villains, yeah, I’m betting they’d be cool with it.

I don’t think “corrupt” is the word for the system portrayed. It’s just broken, by many, many factors, including perverse incentives, self interest, greed, desperation, run of the mill corruption, etc.

In fairness, GLOW cost $50M per episode, largely because all of the spandex was added in post via CGI.

And then there was the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, which was all about the whole Jewish-Immigration conspiracy theory.

Netflix just put out a very flattering doc aboutSpaceX, but even in that, at no point do you get the impression he has any handle on operations. And I don’t mean to minimize the importance of showing up with the cash and the vision, but yeah, dude isn’t offering ideas on how to make the rockets not blow up.
