An overlooked angle is the imminent conflict between ISPs and content providers after the end of Netflix neutrality. Consolidation make sure Disney more of a juggernaut against Comcast and Time Warner, which might even be good for consumers. But it also disadvantages smaller content providers like Filmstruck, mubi,…

Detention centers are for civil detention. Generally, these aren’t robbery convicts serving a sentence for robbery.

The same lawyer brought a frivolous suit alleging basically the same facts a few years ago.

It’s not a federal standard because it generally doesn’t involve interstate commerce.

So he maybe paid with a sacagawea coin, but maybe he didn’t?

To be fair, I should note that I stopped at last three presidents because the article compared stats from 2002.

2.5 percent growth year over year is normal for a lot of industries.

They still haven’t run away?

Even in the woke states, most of the counties are politically the same as or worse than southern states. Conversely, the red states are full of blue (and black) dots.

Unless you also supported invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, you are definitely more wise than Condi Rice.

Morning Joe was totally in the tank for Trump during the primaries. That is, msnbc was never a leftist network.

Also, studios are increasingly treating directors as basically fungible. They can still make a Queen movie without him. The best X-Men movies (Logan, First Class) were made without him. Fox will be fine without him.

1.) For artistic and storytelling reasons, there’s no benefit to the X-Men and Avengers being together. The best X-Men stories ignore the avengers, and vice-versa. Would Claremont’s Days of Future Past have been better with an additional issue of backstory explaining why the avengers didn’t stop the sentinels? No.…

Both “pleaded” and “pled” are widely used.

Assuming his lawyer actually did this, he’s the most incompetent jackass ever admitted to the bar. It reflects poorly on every NY-admitted lawyer. He should be disbarred and then rebarred, by which I mean beaten with rebar for his incompetence.

If he didn’t do this, and he’s playing along with it because of Trump’s…

They can go back in time and launch drone strikes at weddings throughout history.

Even the good pixar movies are, just as a matter of visual style, ugly and graceless next to ghibli, even if they might be better plotted.

They could easily do a half season arc about the time he gave Saddam Hussein chemical weapons to use against the Kurds and the Iranians.
