How dare a country vote to free themselves from a controlling oligarchy. They didn’t even dump tea in a harbor.

my uncle always said “never break more than one law at a time”

Yes, with a rocket that’s 1/3rd the size not meant to reach orbit or launch Satellites but people... but has not yet launched any people.. Meant only for a suborbit joyride

Personally, I’m a big fan of the first one, and look forward to seeing it in showrooms.

Look, Musk is already halfway to supervillainy. Super-smart tall rich guy from a country with a history of atrocities? Planning to build a space city with his own rockets? In control of one of the most common artificial intelligences with physical presence deployed around the world? Daring massive Russian-connected…

Is it Tesla-related content when the CEO of Tesla talks about something not related to Tesla?

Elon Musk has a track record of doing things 10x better for 10x cheaper - he can do it way better than a government contractor for the Big Dig.

Exactly once they decided on a dr. Strange movie they were damned either way when it came to the ancient one. They made a conciiis effort at good representation of multiple races and genders and still got slammed.

I hope everyone who posted histrionic comments about Tilda Swinton’s racism and privilege two fucking hours ago on the previous post goes back and deletes them now.

A Chinese company playing fast and loose with accounting rules, while playing a shell game with the capital? My shocked face —> :-/

Do you need a tissue? Or help reading the email?

Yeah, MC not knowing the source material she was criticizing reminds my of the student who turned in an essay to me criticizing the book he didn’t bother to read. Sorry, Margaret. No leg to stand on.

With The Ancient One (the ‘wise old Eastern geezer’ Fu Manchu type in the book), wanting to switch up the gender (another diversity department) and not wanting to engage with the old ‘Dragon Lady’ trope, they chose to write the character as being of (ancient) Celtic origin and offered that role to me. Presumably on…

Yeah, funny enough, that’s exactly how I hoped a conversation like that would go and for some reason it seems like Cho decided to twist it around on the podcast for comedic purposes. Maybe there’s more to it than this, but right now Cho looks very bad.

Granted, Margaret exploited the situation both for its comedic value and for its social import. Except that Tilda was being perfectly open and receptive to input, so Margaret is mostly being an asshole.

Only the incredible bias and prejudice of this post’s author.

Or Cho is a lying hack and tried to get the spotlight put on her?

It is never not possible for me to love Tilda Swinton more.

Well one thing seems clearer now: Tilda was responding to Margaret’s request that she ought to produce a film with Asian actors by saying she was doing just that, as opposed to how it was represented in the previous article as if it was a deflection of culpability in the classic “I have a friend who is Black so I…
