it’s an optics thing too. pretty much if saudi arabia made a 9/11 movie in the future

Cardi b going all in and beating the crap out of the wrong person would the most on brand thing she could do.

There are definitely some reactionaries on the left feeling threatened by sound of freedom’s relative success as some harbinger of awful things to come. The same people who chose to interpret a 17 year old ted cruz yearbook quote about ruling the world as literal (google “ted cruz world domination” and see how many…

i was hoping the pandemic would be the slap in the face for us to realize, “hey, maybe the most respected and rewarded members of our society shouldn’t be pretty people who play pretend and those who can do a neat trick with a ball”

I remember when george clooney pretty much credited hollywood with the civil rights movement in some award show speech, but neglected to mention that hollywood has to be responsible for at least 90% of body dysmorphia issues too

yep. an ellipsis communicates the same thing just as effectively, but lacks jez’s trademark snark on a poorly researched topic.

I think it’s kind of like the mario movie. The buzz around a “first” movie and the all-star cast associated with it is going to be hard to top. Again with the mario example, any other IP is going to be more niche even with huge popularity (zelda, metroid, etc.)

Is this a joke? FWIW if you spend an extra $5k to jump a trim level you get access to... red

Yep. As large as the universe is it’s equally likely that intelligent life exists/ed somewhere out there and unlikely that they have come anywhere near/made contact with earth

This, combined with lovely VW electronics throwing false positives regularly in what’s supposed to be an “economy” car

Wasn’t the len bias thing that he had a rare, undiagnosed heart condition that contributed to him dying from doing cocaine for like the first time?

I agree with all of this, but parsing through quick cuts in a video and cross-referencing them for a minor gotcha moment screams “extremely online person (ergo not the most credible)”, and only gives it more attention/aldean more money. pretty much the inverse of barbie and conservatives making a huge stink out of it…

Ice cube’s been a bigot for some time, just took awhile for everyone’s masks to come off so folks like he and tucker could actually hang out together

did you see that ludicrous display last night?

This feels like a “many things can be true at once” things. Yes healy was ham-fisted in handling this, but the lens of this article also reeks of “my opinion on this depends on whether or not i already like this person”. If beyonce had done anything close to this at her private, millionaires-only dubai concert the…

I like how they use that to pump up sales numbers and also use it to theorize that forces were working against them since tickets were hard to get but no one was there when they saw the movie.

I only know them from the ads, but wonder how soon “americanization” of the far east will come full circle and we start earnestly using chinese broken english. How can you see an ad whose narrator says an item is “one dollar and seven nine cents” without cracking up, let alone patronizing them

good grief, why does the nft itself look like a 90s geocities gif shaped as an early ipod - but moon themed.

Grey is kind of an “unofficial” alabama team color, because of the elephant mascot

Many of the “spectacle” lynchings took place in the town square or something similar, which often had the courthouse/city hall as its centerpiece. It also sometimes happened immediately following a trial.
