These women were all adults, none of whom were employed by Butler or Arcade Fire, and presumably they all knew he was married. So it seems them coming to feel the interactions were “inappropriate” is really just them regretting decisions *they* made. I’m sure it’s tough to learn that groupies don’t matter, and I’m…

“the accusers had ‘sexual interactions with Butler that they came to feel were inappropriate given the gaps in age, power dynamics, and context in which they occurred.’”

Ya know, they always get ya. My Apple tv subscription ran out the 15th. Black Bird was done, Physical’s season was done, and For All Mankind’s season was over on the 12th. It was like perfect.

Sam Levinson asked Sydney Sweeney to shoot 15 topless scenes as a response to her departure. Vital to the story, he reiterated.

Oligarch- you try to seize my yacht now, ha !

Yeah, these benchmarks are suspect and “problems” is a broad category. It would be nice if they weighted them based on disruption or annoyance. i.e. if my phone doesn’t always connect to carplay, that’s frustrating, but if my model has been in to the shop because of a mechanical or electrical fault, that’s another.

It’s a horrible strategy. It makes no sense if you actually care about having a consistent brand strategy and intelligent overall lineup.

There is an Alfa dealer pretty close to my house, and it is the only car dealer I’ve seen that kept a completely full lot of vehicles throughout the pandemic and ensuing supply chain shortage. I would bet I could walk in today and buy a Giulia for below sticker - no one wants them.

But no you just don’t get it. His Giulia has done almost 2,000 miles and has never left him stranded even once!

Seriously. Some people right? They are certainly not the worst.

lol are you seriously comparing racism to people thinking Alfas are unreliable

The FCA side of things has always had a lot of internal competition. RAM and Jeep always fight about SUVs and Trucks, and there’s always been a ton of fighting among the rest for everything else.

...and Dodge should poach that design too.  A little mid-engine Dodge would be awesome.  We could finally get the M4S.

I don’t get the internal strife. You work for a large auto manufacturing concern. It’s not like Alfa created the Tonale without using Stellantis support. Engineering, parts, money, manufacturing... What percentage of the tonale is Stellantis corporate? More than a little. I get that Alfa needed a win, but Dodge needed…

Yeah it’s like Dodge was told: here’s a cool CUV design. We need you to make it look as close to a Dodge Journey as you can for brand continuity.

Turns out Americans would rather own something they can buy and get serviced at their local Dodge dealer as opposed to trying to find an Alfa dealer within driving radius that will still be open in 5 years. It doesn’t matter how nice this car is, if the only way you could get one in the US is by going to an Alfa…

All that other stuff aside, who in the actual fuck pre-orders a compact crossover? Are cars really THAT scarce?

I’ll eat my fucking hat if the GQP can point to a single factual instance of anyone telling a room full of white people “you should be ashamed of yourselves now for things that happened a few hundred years ago” in a corporate training or classroom setting.  

OK, so, let me get this straight. Kimbro doesn’t really care that much about whether people have access to abortion. But he believes that Republicans risk being punished in elections over all the draconian state laws banning abortion, so for now he is going to promote something that he believes will wake Republicans…

Wait, so is the boat actually real?  Are people really getting the procedure done, or is he potentially lying about that?
