Also, since when did GPAs go above 4.0? Am I that out of touch with schools and education?

All the people saying that Hogg is such a terrible person for what he’s doing to poor little Laura can, in the truest sense, go fuck themselves.

These Parkland kids are savage. I’m enjoying every minute of this and I hope to scurry through the rest of my life below their radar because they are terrifying to cross.

Yay. Also: this kid was getting rejected from schools like UCLA even with a 4.1 GPA - something that Ingraham described as “predictable”. Has there been so much grade inflation since I graduated high school in the 1990s that a 4.1 GPA isn’t competitive enough to get somebody into a UCLA?

WHY WOULD SHE LIE? Dude, you’re one of the gross ones just painting women as unstable or irrational. “Wanting the publicity and glamour?” Woman was trying to keep her freaking job, and knew that nothing would be done. It’s no coincidence that Weinstein’s fall came right when his company was not doing well…

They proved they could make an electric Lotus and a Model S good looking. With the Model X, they proved you could make a big-ass Prius, and with the Model 3 a less wind resistant Prius.

I’m inclined to believe her too, and I’m also pretty convinced that France has pulled some sort of massive (and successful) marketing campaign on Americans. France is a pretty ordinary country. It has its rednecks and its backwoods weirdos just like the US. Its biggest city is notably sophisticated...just like the US.…

Yeah. I think things are changing, but Breillat (and Deneuve) definitely represent the “old guard” of French feminists who promote a certain type of essentialized, retrograde femininity and openly loathe women who go against it.

In the opening scene of “Anatomy of Hell”, a woman slits her wrists in a gay bar and when a…

Please name a company that’s licensed his patents. One? Any?

Elon Musk was a multimillionare when he started Tesla. He walked away from PayPal with $180 million.

The best outcome would be for Tesla to thrive as a battery company. Their cars are essentially just a demonstration platform to get customers and the industry excited about electric cars. And that’s amazing! They’ve shown that EVs can be fast and good-looking, even trendy.

“Argento’s comments are particularly striking because they allege on-set abuse and harassment at the hands of a female director”

Low cost is good if it isn’t at the expense of the labor force.

(And yes, I know there are far worse examples of exploitation out there, even when it comes to manufacturing smartphones. That doesn’t make this okay.)

Most veils are pretty transparent. I would feel goofy about bragging about my ability to see through one.

They’re all good candidates, but none of them have quite managed to cultivate the cult of personality around themselves that Musk has managed. If we were to line these guys up based on supervillain hierarchy, we get Musk, Assange, Zuckerberg (he’s moving up the ranks), Mercer, Bezos.

“During the scene she wouldn’t call CUT , so the main actor almost fainted and he took it on me,” she writes. “We got in a ‘fist fight’ while Breillat sneered in the back.”

I don’t know about their other business lines, but I don’t think Tesla as an automaker will be around in ten years.

Yup, this being another case of Americans worshiping people because they’re rich. If we had DefCon levels for critical thinking, the color would be a white hot ‘critical’.

Every time Elon Musk is mentioned, it is somebody’s obligation to point out that he’s a pretty obvious candidate to be a real life Bond villain. He’s adored by masses of people who don’t recognize how fucking sinister he is.

If there was one thing that showed just how deluded the large shareholders of Tesla are it’s this pay package. It is totally absurd!
