It’s true, perceptions have softened on some designs that were initially panned. On others, this has not changed and the only people buying those cars are doing so ironically.

Ok, so this:

Disney Corp has more highly paid, competent lawyers than Meatball Ron has had hot meals.

Looking back at the Bangle butt 7-series and I’m still turned off - time does not fix all things. 

Chris Bangle is a good designer, different, and that tackled a lot of engineering trends/requirements (higher beltlines etc) and was the first to do so.

I’ve driven German cars since high school in the mid 1960s and BMWs for at least the last 30 years. The grilles are double fucking horrible and I will never drive one of those cars.

I sure never thought I would wish for the “good old days” of W., yet here we are. I disagreed with about everything that man ever did as President, but I always respected him.

So he’d rather they get treated the way Michelle Obama got treated? As in, right wing dipshits claiming she has a penis and getting attacked for daring to suggest children have healthier options for school lunch?

The only way that the current design will “grow on” people is in the same way people started looking back wistfully at Dubya’s presidency while Trump was in office.  

Much like right-wing “comedy”.  It’s hard to be funny (or in Casey’s case, “elegant” or “regal”) when your life is small and full of hate.

Ron DeSantis also thinks he should be president and will win his war against Disney, so maybe we shouldn’t put any stock in what he thinks.

uhhh....not these phrases....

Roberta Laundrie has suggested it was written before Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito left on their trip

The whole thing is outrageous but somehow I’m most struck by the, “If you say you hate my guts, I’d grow new guts” bit. Like, grow some self-regard, lady. So shocked to see this kid grew up to be a self-entitled abusive man when his own mother bows to him like a king. Fuck that shit. Didn’t even respect your ass…

My mother loves me to death. She would also never, EVER help me cover up a murder I committed.

The whole “burn after reading” part makes the excuse that it was a light hearted letter expressing her love for her son pretty implausible. You would only add that if you knew it could come back to bite you, and none of the possibilities of that look pretty bad. 

Totally fair. Though also a loaf of bread that was 80% mold and 20% bread would feel fresher than Abrams’ entries.

So the explanation is that the sequels all were just iterations of T2 versus truly adding anything new to the mix?

It’s highly ironic and morbidly funny how the Terminator films began as stories of humanity surviving the advent of AI and machines because of faith and love, but now the franchise has become the story of how the indomitable machine rises from the ashes to once again stalk the silver screen, searching for more…

Ah, well if we wait to see how current “AI” works out we’re in for something that’s way less interesting.
