Commenters going around really arguing that ‘well, actually, he doesn’t literally own billions of dollars in cash, so this criticism is nonsense’ and ‘Musk’s answer is good, because space travel is necessary for the future.” The irony regarding short-sightedness is palpable...

I can’t believe the people legitimately out here saying that we shouldn’t tax Musk fairly (because, be honest, that’s what’s at stake here) just because this billionaire shithead wants to put people in indentured servitude on Mars. Like, that’s literally what he has said—if people can’t afford his space travel, they…

You’re right. No reason we can’t do both at once. But we’re not. And let’s remember the massive thumb on the scale that is the imfluence the wealthy have on those politicians to keep perpetuating the system that benefits them both to the detriment of the larger body politic.

The movie would have been 550% better if he had woken up in the body of Louie Anderson and we had ourselves a shallow hal type situation where Diana realized it was just Chris Pine’s face that she fell for, not his personality.

Thank you. Diana is explicitly *characterized* as someone who’s emotionally distant and struggles to connect with people because, you know, they die. Like they had a picture of Etta Candy in her room for that purpose.

This whole premise rests upon the idea that Barbra and Diana are actually friends. Diana’s a trash friend because she doesn’t notice, etc etc. The idea being that a true friend would know/notice.

Well, when you’re trying to save the world and someone is hell-bent on stopping you despite your repeated pleas, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Agree with this 100%, as someone who’s SO died when I was in my 20s. If she showed back up I would absolutely ignore everything else around me.

Honestly if my dead lover showed up I would forget all about anyone else. Diana is still human at least emotionally.

I realized I AGAIN put too much faith in polling, and like last time I was watching the election results this morning/last night being like “excuse me WHAT.” Ugh

It’s actually not that hard to walk up the stairs in a gown, and I am sure she has done it before.  That fall was FAKE AF and just a cherry on top of her annoying fake act! 

This. She brought it up in that blonde victim vein that she did the first time this story was told in the mid 2010s. She’s also in the news again for admitting to being a republican up until trump which would have included this time and given how elite her part of Kentucky is/was it would also undermine her desperate…

Isn’t Jennifer Lawrence the one that unearthed the old 2013 drama up in the first place, discussing it on that podcast? It isn’t like anyone called her foul names - saying she was annoying is hardly a death wish. No need to defend her honor just yet.

Her mother’s maiden name is “Koch”. Not saying she is related to the famous Koch’s, but interesting.
Also, her mom’s 1st name is Karen. So there is that.
There cannot be a more Republican name than Karen Koch.

She also had that salt-of-the-earth-I -fall-down-all-the-time-and-eat-buffalo-chicken-wings-all-day persona. Rich people don’t do that. 

Does that mean she voted against Barack Obama? Fuck her. 

You have to come from money to “see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies.”

She made money from training the horses her family owned on the farm they also own. Way to be self-made by getting paid by your parents.

per wiki her dad is construction company owner, so yes. She probably had more than babysitting money.

When JLaw talks about Kentucky everyone seems to picture her as a plucky little waif hand-pumping well water surrounded with a yard full of rusting broken-down cars. But she’s from one of the state’s wealthiest suburbs with demographics that border on a whites-only gated community. Her “babysitting money” probably…
