Baskin Robbins don’t play.

King Knight is supposed to be funny, right? 

Which a) isn’t hard, given where they started and b) doesn’t mean they’re comparatively optimistic or non-cynical, just less dark than when they started.

I absolutely freaking *love* Blue Thunder! I watched it repeatedly when it came on HBO when I was a kid. I just watched it the other day, in fact. :D

Here me out here: the true foundation that Star Trek is based on, is low budgets.

I’m looking forward to a show with academy cadets strung out on drugs as they fail to deal with the stress of testing and competing against rivals teams.

I just hope that isn’t code for “I want to make Star Trek even darker than I did with Discovery and Picard.”

If I’m being honest, that’s what I figured he was getting at. And I immediately wanted him to have a sit-down with Admiral Clancy.

I’m a lifelong Star Trek fan and also believe that there is a lot of room in that universe to explore all kinds of stories and ideas, especially ones that challenge the ideology. DS9 is the series I have enjoyed the most.

yeah the whole point of the MCU is they play within their own boundaries. that’s kind of the fun part!

I love Jeffrey Wright, but he seems so utterly bored in that What If...? video.

Later in the interview, Kurtzman stated he “wants to get much weirder” with the Star Trek franchise and begin “pushing the boundaries much further than I think most people would want.”

Later in the interview, Kurtzman stated he “wants to get much weirder” with the Star Trek franchise and begin “pushing the boundaries much further than I think most people would want.” He adds, “I think we might get there. Marvel has actually proven that you can. But you have to build a certain foundation in order to…

I dunno about “nobody will ever remember”. I fully understand there’s no such thing as ethical consumption in American capitalism, and I’ve been paying for and playing Blizzard games for 20 years so I’m complicit. Even thinking about playing now after all of this leaves me feeling incredibly icky. I know my withdrawal…

“Thank you for the powerful question”

I keep replacing “WilmerHale” with “Wolfram & Heart" because it's such a good fit.

You can have quite functional capitalism WITHOUT all of the mechanism we permit to shield executives from blame for their actions.
One of the key assumptions of early proponents of capitalism like Adam Smith would be that public shame and legal jeopardy would be important motivators to counterbalance pure profit…

“Capitalism has trained us to expect the absolute minimum from companies”
Yes, in every industry.
Fun story... I work in a different industry and my boss was also one of the company execs. He was looking to fill a position and I recommended a friend that I thought would be perfect for the role. He agreed and hired them.…

Nothing short of financial penalties large enough to effect quarterly profits will change how these investor calls go. Gamers aren’t gonna stop buying their games and mtx and any penalty that the government may hand down will be a slap on the wrist for a company of that size. Anything other than “don’t worry, profits…

They will throw a couple token sacrificial lambs on the fire and six months from now nobody will even remember. I mean, seriously, was Ubisoft held accountable for pretty much the same shenanigans? How’d that work out? Their response so far tells us all we need to know. They’re accused of doing wrong. They not only…
