“There hasn’t seemed to be a lot of promotion for the next TV series to join the CW’s Arrowverse, Naomi.”

False equivalents. Hospitals aren’t doing it for the reason businesses are.

Exactly. The science quite *CLEARLY* indicates that people are *STILL* infectious after 5 days. *LESS* infectious is not the same as not infectious, and since Omicron is far more infectious than other variants, this puts it at roughly the *SAME* level of infectiousness, after five days, as all previous strains were at…

Couldn’t they just license the rights to the actors’ voices, and use something akin to Adobe’s Voco software to have the actors say whatever the writers wanted?? Or are the writers that out of touch with just how far technology has advanced since the 90s??

The gospel of middle and upper management types whose entire profession is predicated onmanhandling and intimidating employees into ‘maximized’ ‘productivity.’ In other words, a whole lot of bullshit and empty fluff talk to distract from the fact that the vast majority of them are dead weight, and they know it.

There are some logistical, technical, and security hurdles with a WFH model, certainly. But none of them are insurmountable either. What’s kept the larger industry from adopting it has more to do with general inertia — doing things the way they’ve always been done — that has already proven to be a self-inflicted…

Nothing is improved by making the process more tedious and obnoxious. This includes ‘VR’ shopping at Walmart, which is ALREADY tedious and obnoxious under normal circumstances.

This is the new normal, bub. The world-wide antivaxx crowd, not just those in the US, and nationalist greed has given Covid a fertile breeding ground to become an unstoppable mutating force of nature. It is *NEVER* going away. It’s a more contagious, more deadly ‘flu’ that has no ‘seasonal’ component to it. The only…

On the one hand, it’s cool to see that fish are adaptable in this manner and clearly smarter than often given credit (yes, even the lowly goldfish), but on the other hand, it’s not really a significant change from their normal movement in an environment that already moves them of its own accord (water currents are a…

To be fair, not everyone is buddies with their family. Or with themselves, for that matter.

“Climate” legislation...as long as it preserves the status quo and gives big subsidies to his coal-baron buddies...

One does not, no matter how drugged up, spout racist shit without first being a racist shitbag at their core. The only thing the drugs did was remove her ‘social awareness’ filter from the things coming out of her mouth, so she’d say what she *REALLY* thought. You know, the ‘whole quiet part being spoken aloud’ deal.

The water part is the key, since the root problem is a kind of dehydration, stemming from your body using alcohol like water (which it cannot do properly). Even that can only help so much, since the body can only replace the improperly allocated alcohol with water so quickly.

Anyone arguing for the right to destroy official records is almost certainly doing something illegal. Keeping them confidential and requiring privileged access for external review is one thing, but outright destroying them? Hell f***ing no. And it’s not like they do a good job of keeping track of police misconduct in…

Some poor people do. Many do not. And certainly not to the amount that goes into those ‘programs for the poor.’ Because the only reason those programs get enacted is because some rich people stood to benefit more. Like food stamps. Do you know why those are around? It’s not for the poor people. It’s for the megacorp…

An attack on and directed at the government is the very definition of a coup — a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. What happened on January 6th was an attempt at ALL OF THOSE THINGS. Which makes it — say it with me now — an attempted coup; they attempted a sudden, violent, and illegal…

They kind of have to hit the ground running, and I wish them the best of luck, because the Republican party has made it known that they’re absolutely fine with fighting as dirty as it takes to get in power and stay there (but heaven forbid they lose, because then, clearly the democrats must have cheated). As it…

Of course something like this is ‘legal.’ Who do you think the tax laws are written by — right, by rich people, for rich people. That’s why the US tax code is so ****ing broken — rich people rigging the system to disproportionately place the burden of running a functioning society onto someone else. It’s also why the…

A lot of things are lost or diminished as a consequence of the whole world’s ever-increasing focus on commodification and profit maximization.

How many people were part of the suit? Because $80m isn’t exactly a significant penalty for Riot, and divided among all the suggested, applicable current and former employees and contractors, that’s a pretty diluted ‘compensation’ being given to the people Riot wronged.
