Tbh, I don’t know anything about RuPaul other than that he’s a drag queen and my kid’s mom loves his show, and she would have gotten mad at me for not making that exclusion.

Literally anybody who can afford to spend 3.5M dollars on a wild gamble to obtain a box of cards of unknown origin deserves to have this happen to them. All of them. Until they can no longer afford it.

That money is gone, probably converted to some form of crypto and in multiple wallets encrypted to the point that the police would spend more money and time trying to find it than they would recover.

Not only that, but his lawyers would have to prove that either BCE knew the cards weren’t Pokemon cards, or that they…

Yeah, for sure. And I commented on BCE, but the shitty part of all this, to me, is that this motherfucker just threw away 3.5 million dollars. Meanwhile, most people are struggling to afford food and rent.

Fuck money.

True but when we’re talking 3.5 million dollars anyone who has that much of a fool to part with that much money it’s probably inconsequential to them so... kind of screw them? It’s difficult, ethically, of course wrong. From a karmic point of view though, he kind of had it coming. Here’s the ultimate thing though, in…

If it’s ripping off a regular amount of money, it’s shitty. If it’s ripping off 3.5 million, there’s no such thing as a person who spent that kind of money on Pokemon cards who doesn’t deserve to be ripped off.

Utah is grifter central: Mormons+MLMs. 

What does one imagine “deep into talks” with Ye actually entails? Is it basically agreed on, and they’re just hammering out stuff like fees, set lengths, promotion appearances... or fun stuff like only Ye branded water will be sold in opaque bottles for exactly $7.43 (thus $8.08 after sales tax)?

Or when I wanted to study abroad, they told my parents I’d be kidnapped and raped even though they’d been abroad many times alone when they were teenagers.

Agreed.

I stand by the idea that casting off looks instead of acting talent is one of the key ingredients to bad adaptations.  If one can get good acting AND similar looks, that’s a bonus but if they cast a character’s exact real-life double, but they act stiff as a board, it ain’t even worth it.  

Nowadays America has more of a “Fucking around for me and finding out for thee” bent, honestly.

Sadly he's been on Proud Boy adjacent podcasts and the like. Prior to Jan 6th. Like... good on them and all for not hiring him back but dude has been toxic for a while.

Won’t someone think of the Proud Boy?

It always amuses me when someone is let go in a situation like this and a bunch of commentators mount a righteous defence as if appearing in a piece of entertainment were an inalienable right or something.

personal opinions is one thing, donating to politicians that actively target minorities and make their lives significantly worse is quite another.

It’s nowhere near his best but it isn’t his worst. It’s weird the hate this thing has picked up in recent years, be it an overcorrection to the nostalgia for it from some or just not being the intended audience.

she was when she made ghost world. brittany murphy was. marilyn monroe was old enough to get away from the strasbergs. cruise and travolta are old enough to get away from scientology

her parents were pornstars in deep throat.  her father’s crazy behavior got he fired from Dracula on bway.  this is likely something like that.  poor lady her family is eating her.

Also tigers couldn’t eat every part of him and it would take days for them to get through what they could. Tiger King works on a “both sides” mentality where Carole must be as bad as the other characters for drama, thus profit. When in reality she’s just someone who loves animals and wants to rescue them. Oddly enough…
