Nothing controversial about that (I’d hope anyway). Shit, what is controversial is that AIDS is easily combated, and cured, by formulations of treatments that were cheap to make even then by pharmaceutical companies, but none did. It only became a priority when it started to spread through the “straight” community.

No, they don’t renew any copyright really. Copyright only extends to the initial creation of a specific work. Disney doesn’t have a copyright to the Grimm Snow White story that’s been in public domain for over a hundred years. That’s why movies like Snow White and the Huntsman exist. Disney only has copyright to their…

Steamboat Willy will lose copyright protection in 2024 but that’s a very different looking version of Mickey Mouse. The modern version of Mickey Mouse is a Disney trademark though, so nobody could use that particular likeness and name outside of 1st Amendment protected satire/parody instances. Winnie the Pooh entered…

He’s returned to the Baha’i faith, which condemns LGTBQ people and is basically a cult. His “different perspective” is pretty awful. The only reason he’s been showing up in headlines recently is for doing podcasts and appearances with equally questionable people trying to promote his book.

He was apparently raised in Baha’i and has now returned to it and Baha’i is a puritanical borderline cult. So, yeah, he should rub you the wrong way. 

It’s ironic too, because, things like capital gains tax limits and interest deductions were originally intended to help the lower to middle class retain wealth, but it didn’t take long for the truly wealthy to game the shit out of the system. It very quickly became a way for the wealthy to reduce their taxable income…

Agent and Sag dues cut 20-25% off the top. Then around 40% in taxes at that bracket. Various sites estimate Wilson’s net worth is $10-14 million right now, which sounds about right. That’s his property, investments and estimated residuals, not liquid cash obviously. I’m sure he’s doing quite well compared the average…

I expect he still gets decent linear TV residuals. The Office is still in syndication. It’s nothing absurd like the Friends cast residuals, who were making an astounding $20 million per year each just off of residuals as of 2020, a large portion of that from foreign syndication. They were able to negotiate ridiculous…

Yup, that’s what I’ve found too. People tend to really overestimate what actors even on successful series make. They think everyone is getting millions per episode. 

Apparently Wilson making a bit more than $100K per episode in the later seasons. Early on he was probably making around $20K per episode, as that’s what Fischer and Krasinski were making until season 4 when they were bumped to $100K per episode. 

From what I can find he was making a bit more than $100K per episode in the later seasons. Early on he was probably making around $20K per episode. That’s what Fischer and Krasinski were making until season 4 when they were bumped to $100K per episode. 

“there’s huge collateral damage in the industry to people who are supportive services, and I could go on and on,”

You can see that already on social media. Whenever an writer, actor or director shows support for the strikes you see a ton of comments telling them to suck it up and get back to work.

I think artificial intelligence is a plague that must be eradicated immediately if we value art and culture at all, because even if something like this didn’t (or isn’t meant to) “replace” the work done by a human, it’s only a matter of time before the option to do that becomes more and more enticing to greedy…

If you’re an adult, you should know basic capitalization and punctuation.

Yeah, in the world of the MCU, with the tech that would be available to the US government, the President would be riding in a 10x better version of the presidential limo. Not to mention, where every the president goes the skies are locked down. There’s no way helicopters would get anywhere near the transport. 

Threads was actually launched in 2019 as an Instagram companion app but it didn’t get any traction and was shut down in 2021, even after they made it more like Twitter in 2020. It was just redundant to Twitter at that point and lacked a lot of Twitter’s features. That just goes to show how bad Elon fucked up Twitter…

It was tweets viewed not tweets made, but it was all typical Musk lies anyway. What was actually happening was the servers were buckling and Musk was making excuses as to why they had to throttle them down. He claimed it was because of AI data scraping, but data scraping doesn’t overload servers. They also weren’t…

I really wanted it to happen. Zuck legit trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and would’ve choked Musk the fuck out. Not that I want to root for any billionaire, but Musk has climbed to the top of my most hated prominent billionaire list over the last year of his amplifying and echoing the most hateful people online.

And Rhodey. That was definetely his voice on the phone at the end of the episode. I get the feeling Gravik isn’t even the real leader of the rebel skrulls.
