to be fair, they kind of have in the past.

You won’t see some random person swarming a Taylor Swift stage

I mean, technically? But NDAs don’t stop anything themselves. As a practical matter, all they do is give you the right to sue if the other party blabs anyway. Some random isn’t going to have the money to make any difference for Cardi B, and if it’s a celeb, she’d be spending the next few years in court as the tabloids…

FWIW, not all the people flying on Dragon are professional astronauts. I do agree, though, that I’d far, far far, far rather fly on Dragon than climb into something like Titan. There’s a hell of a lot more oversight on Dragon. Sure, your chance of death is acknowledged to be less than 1 in 270. You’re riding the fire;…

Absolutely. I even thought about mentioning him but didn’t. It’s really liked that in Die Hard you saw him struggling with pain and uncertainty. They both managed it in subtly without wallowing and it worked.

Kinda like he’s...just making it up as he goes along.

I think that’s true. I’ve also heard it’s also his ability to look afraid while doing something brave. It makes hime more relatable than heroes that never show any fear, but he still looks like a cool movie star, just with more humanity than Vin Diesel doing the same thing.

There is exactly zero chance this thing could have survived an ABS or similar audit to get a depth rating. As long as they could get people pay a quarter of a million dollars for rides in this death trap, there was never any incentive to even try.

Nukes solve all problems.

Because it isn’t just a giant trench that stays at one level. It is a canal. Canals raise ships up and over higher ground via a system of locks and artificial channels and waterways, then down the other side. It has to have sufficient water at the top of the hump in order keep the artificial channels and basins…

Really, though, Loki and What If...? are the only Disney+ MCU shows that have been given second seasons so far. WandaVision, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and She-Hulk are also currently stand-alone seasons. And, to be fair, Kamala will be co-starring on the big screen, the first of the D+…

“Holland lacks rogue-ish charm” is the best description I’ve ever seen for why he was a terrible pick for Nathan Drake.

Prince of Persia did have Gemma Arterton though, which kept me watching an incredibly mediocre movie far longer than I otherwise would have.

Right. They had a pretty good idea they were already dead but didn’t want to report anything out until they had what they felt was confirmation *and* contacted the families.

Yeah, they should’ve gone with Camilla.

I mean, Trump’s object permanence isn’t the best; it might work, if only because she’ll be the only conservative base ding-dong whose name he can remember.

Trump is a child. The last person who speaks to him is the one he listens to. And that’s alarmingly a documented fact. Physical proximity to him is apparently the move.

Weirdly though... I believe it would work with Trump.  “Sir, Yellow Pencil McDietCoke isn’t a real person.  You need to pick a real person to be your running mate.”

Obviously Walt Nauta is going to be his VP pick.

Historically, that is the best way to get something from Trump. He has very little object permanence. The best way to get something favorable from him is to simply be the most recent person he’s talked to at any given time. He has an intense desire to be liked by those in his immediate vicinity, it can’t hurt to brute…
