I see you’ve played billy-coiny before.

our OG trojan horse of a feminist filmmaker.

Dollarydoos.

Considering Miller’s age, I’m just happy he had one more of these left in him.

There is no complexity to innocent civilians dying, that is true. But the ongoing, decades old conflict that has caused their deaths is very complicated and anyone who thinks otherwise has not a clue about it. I haven’t read all of Melissa Barrera’s posts, but from what I’ve seen, much of it was just humanitarian

And anybody who argues that God gave the land to one group or the other can be safely dismissed.

Straw man defense. People outraged over the indiscriminate bombing campaign is not what I take issue with. It’s an atrocity that is indefensible. People taking sharp political sides in the conflict without actually understanding the history involved is what I think is foolish, and they reveal their ignorance of it

She should not have been let go for her comments, but I’m seeing a lot of younger people on social media, including my relatives, speaking up on this conflict without any deep understanding of it. All they see are brown people being bombed and that feeds into some preconceived notions of ‘colonialism bad’ and so they e

If the live-action SW shows he’s been involved with are any indication, then I don’t see myself paying much attention to Star Wars in the future.

Actually I'm betting he would try to escape via his rocket which will explode like what happened today.  Or the cybertruck combusts.  

Ok, so that’s skyrocketed to like a 25% chance he’ll face consequences for anything and all it took was him being a Literal Literal Nazi, since even just being a Literal Nazi is excused these days.

True, it’ll just be a little later than the rest of us. We’ll likely already be dead in the streets by the time his private security finally breaks through the “uncrackable”, algorithmically-locked safety doors on his private bedroom in the bunker. The funny part is that there won’t even be anything of any real value

Baron Zaslav: Villeneuve! I place you in charge of the Dune franchise. It’s yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze!

Today every other time I clicked on an article I got a McAfee pop-up saying my Windows was attacked by multiple viruses. Each time I closed the article, ran the (non-McAfee) application I use for protection, and it told me everything was fine.

I cannot believe the rich asshole from apartide South Africa is definitely absolutely a nazi.  So... in the span of 6 years he went from the cool billionare to the nazi billionare who doesn't even try to hide it.  Quite the record. 

Thing is, it is not that Herbert did not write strong female characters. Many of the strongest and most powerful characters in the books are female. Chani just isn’t one of them. She is important to Paul, but not really the reader.

It’s all about the Bene Ge$$erits.

Well, yes. For-profit corporations have no ethics or morals.

I want to know why young Sheldon is so much more socially functional than adult Sheldon. That’s like the opposite of how functioning autism works. Like, the child version of the adult we saw in Big Bang theory should spend most of his time staring motionlessly at his action figures and screaming for an hour every time

The panedmic changed movie-going habits that were already changing. People aren’t just going to go to whatever the big new movie is each weekend like they used to. The studios had a pretty solid 3-decade run where they were able to effectively open anything in summer or Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season and make money
