This reminded me: the most absolutely unhinged person I’ve ever worked with came from Netflix. They were verbally abusive to staff and tried to justify it with “radical honesty” / “but that’s how we did it at Netflix!!!!” when confronted. What is going on over there...

I never really think about the image posting problem as being part of Kinja’s hilariously broken code, because it’s such a small thing. Plus it’s been long enough that I’ve normalized it. But whatever the problem is, it seems to be able to be worked around by simply continuing to click “insert image” and doing…

They’ve picked this hill to die on because they, as well as a significant portion of the population, have dehumanized trans persons enough to believe it's not a hill at all. The backlash hasn't been significant enough to convince them they're wrong, unfortunately. They've made enough money that they're not going to…

I would in fact argue that, by failing to make an ethical choice, they have already made an unethical one. 

Hell, he didn’t even say he was sorry. About anything! He just observed that he made mistakes. The whole thing had the tone of:

Chappelle’s entire thesis has already been proven wrong. He says (and the bigots here say) that if you criticize queer people, you get canceled. No. If you criticize queer people, you get a microphone, thousands of audience members, a paycheck of $24 million dollars, a special on a major streaming platform, and…

This was supposed to be a pithy comment with a picture from Twilight Zone’s “To Serve Man” but Kinja won’t let me and nobody cares enough to fix it.

First and foremost, I should have led with a lot more humanity.

See, the problem with cancelling a subscription out of protest is you can only do it once.

When are these tech geniuses going to realize that free markets, algorithms, blockchains and “radical honesty” can’t solve everything, at some point one has to make an ethical (or unethical) choice?

Ah yes, the classic non-apology - “I’m sorry I did a bad job explaining just how little of a shit I give about your problems.”

“We have a creative equity fund that we’ve heavily invested in, exactly the things I believe they are asking about. We have and continue to invest enormously amounts of content dollars in LGBTQ+ stories for the world and giving them a global platform. Specifically, trans and non-binary content as well. That’s…

I’m guessing it’s not a easy for the creative team to sustain a 7-minute short with no English dialogue than a 3 and a half-minute one which ends up being mostly visual gags anyway.

I am heartbreakingly disappointed. All of a sudden she’s a Bond villain, willing to kill hundreds in a gas explosion? And she’s such a mastermind that she knows exactly how to swap ducts in the boiler room, at a moment’s notice? And yeah, that note on the door was an intentional and dishonest manipulation of the…

Sting. Once a Harkonnen, always a Harkonnen. Chaumas and chaumurky are exactly what one would expect from them.

When Jane Lynch appeared I came THIS CLOSE to a spit take. Kudos to whoever decided that the stunt double would be a woman and to cast her in the role.

There’s also just another thing: Who poisoned Oliver’s dog and left the note on Jan’s apartment? It clearly wasn’t Jan since she looks around concerned when she finds it and she never admitted to poisoning the dog, only the cat by accident.

Oh no! That’s a bummer.

Also, I’ll get off your lawn. Apologies.

That opening shot has stronger Bebop vibes than the actual redone opening they’ve done. That recaptures the actual energy of the opening you want while adapting it to what can work for that in live-action.
