Except the tax code changes made were all laser-targeted at areas where rich liberals were likely to live, such as by capping SALT deductions to $10k. The TCJA is set to expire Dec 2025, so there’s not much Democrats could do other than fight for a quicker repeal, just wait it out, or (always a bad option) cut taxes

Sounds like something Worf would say to Data after he solves an ancient math puzzle (I’ve been rebinging TNG)

Good analysis, but reading the headline I can’t help but think of Charlie Day doing a bad Matt Damon impression: “Ya watch ya Staa Waars and ya jus REGUJITATES it and ya think ya wicked awesome and how bout dem apples!”

There’s definitely something sinister to early Ub Iwerks and Fleischer stuff. I think it’s a combination of the demented/hapless characters who have this kind of Mr. Bill-esque naïve detachment from what’s actually going on, plus this sense that nothing is static and therefore nothing is safe because anything can come

Mortimer?

All valid complaints and observations, but the cynic in me says that the cross-purposes of the event is what’s given it growth potential. The minute it becomes all about promotion, companies suddenly have to compete more directly with one-another, and the costs of being a participant skyrockets as the venue and host

More to the point: she was technically playable in Phantom Hourglass when you used her spirit to possess the giant guardians in the Temple of the Ocean King.

She was also the main playable character in two of the three CD-i games (not that anyone’s counting those ...or even trying to remember them)

Listening to my tech-y bro-y friends (or, more accurately, my very much tolerated spouses of friends), there’s also this idea that creative work is too much work to even bother with, so just let the robots do it, right? Never mind that the bots fucking suck and many people live and breathe the creative work they do.

You guys are great🙏. That shouldn’t mean you have to be perfect. You deserve great support and great management.

Ideally I’d have sent the feedback to an “errors” contact form or email but I figured it’d just die there, and I also wanted to air the grievances a bit because things have been getting harder, it seems.

Tomato potato, but point taken. I could have just said “multi-millionaire actors” and been done with it because the sole reason for the qualifier was to indicate that many of these films are “hobbies” outside of the actual cash-raker content. Our weekend gardening is their “hey let’s give this student filmmaker with

Ummm... have you been watching what’s happening around here and across the (remaining) G/O sites? I’m surprised they’re still able to keep the lights on, and now you want full-on proofreading and editing and stuff? That costs money, Jack. And I don’t think the check is in the mail.

Yeah the whole “indie movie” thing drives me crazy because most of the ones that get national attention are backed by major studio subsidiaries (JoJo Rabbit = Searchlight Pictures, a Fox imprint) or are pet projects of ludicrously wealthy actors-turned-producers (Emily the Criminal was produced in part by star Aubrey

That kid looks a little young to be slippin mickies but I suppose he’s working his way up to it. And yes, the “meme first, humor later” aspect of it does scream alt-right extremely bored and extremely online nonsense. 

Was this supposed to be block quote text?

These dipshits could have at least actually said or done something funny to make their desperate need for attention actually result in something worth paying attention to.
