Sometimes creative people tell on themselves in ways they don’t realize.

Yeah, I bet Kotaku needs a strong relationship with a PR firm that specializes in M&A yet literally cannot handle a basic phone call from a journalist. Demanding not to be mentioned in the story is unprofessional on Longacre’s part (representing the company is literally what they are paid to do) and deserves to be…

No internet connection, bro.

GameStop’s about to go down in flames. It’s a “zombie” company, one that can borrow enough to cover its debt but can’t earn enough to actually get out of it, which is why it was shorted so heavily. As long as interest rates were low, and they were for twenty years, it could shamble along just fine.

The fact that you’re making this comment during normal working hours indicates you don’t actually work all that hard, assuming you have a job at all.

I work in marketing and, I have to say, there are two things about that paragraph at Longacre that are curious. The first is that they told a reporter not to mention their company name when calling for a quote. Even the wettest behind the ears junior flack knows that you say “Thank your for your interest, but we have…

I never tire of predicting of the immanent demise of city driving and this just adds fuel to the fire.

“Why would you play a game where you don’t own what you buy?”

If Leto is willing to accept being laughed at frankly I'm sorta impressed. He seemed a bit too self serious for that.

This is basically AMC's business model anyway.

Once I realized this actually offended people in some games I went FULL Stat Vomit with my gear.

OK, but keep in mind you asked for it. (TL;DR There aren’t a lot of movies in theaters, theaters desperately need movies, and the economics and business model line up well enough to have a few extra screenings if it means they can sell more popcorn.)

When you have twelve screens to fill, and there aren’t many movies in wide release, that’s not a lot of movies. I can break out the economics if you really want (fair warning: It’s super boring!) but the short of it is, they need at least three movies a weekend and one big hit a weekend.

More likely the real issue is theaters have precisely Fuck and All on the summer schedule. The one movie coming out this weekend is a cheap slasher flick with no ad budget.

Building custom and shipping frankly makes a shitload more sense than dealer inventory. It’ll save on emissions (kinda crucial) and cut down on overhead.

With the internet they can be informed enough that salespeople need to change their roles.

Yeah, if we learned nothing else from the pandemic, it’s that a shocking number of people genuinely do not like their children.

With college students, it’s pretty obvious why they want a place to sit: They’re probably in tight quarters at home and working remotely isn’t optimal for them. Which I get. The problem is Boomers used to performative “work” are taking this as a cue that people who can work from home are just “lazy” as opposed to…

LOL yet. Give it time.

To be fair to him, what he's done with EVs and reusable rockets IS very important and a net good. Unlike Chump, who has never achieved a fucking thing. That said, Musk clearly thought that gave license to be a giant asshole and that also he could cruise on these two achievements until the end of time, when there were…
