After the report about a different company’s insulin pumps having issues due to app software, and Musk’s tendency to promise big (for shareholders) then dial back to nothing, anybody wanting this in their head is completely stupid.

If you’re paying for Prime just for Prime Video, you’re an idiot.

Maybe it’s because I’m inured, but the ads aren’t really that bad. And nobody serious is buying Prime just for Prime Video.

I can see an issue with retraumatizing if a physical assault went viral. But civil trials exist for a reason if you can prove you were actually “retraumatized” for a property crime.

TikTok has been weird in how it’s been the basis of the Boomerification of Xer and Millennial progressives. Leftist criticism of liberal American sacred cows has always existed, and you’ll find it on every social media site. But because it’s in a less-obnoxious video form than YouTube, TikTok is some great evil? To…

Yeah, I don’t understand how he wasn’t already big, he just didn’t have a ton of staying power with his later stuff. It’s not “He should be bigger” but “Why did he fall off?”

I understand the need to SEO seed the articles, but goddamn stop giving fascists like Raichick any oxygen at all (literally and figuratively)

It was a good speech, but not really worth sitting through the Oscars for. However, it also wasn’t some huge screed against Israel like some fundies want to make it seem like, it was basically the line noted in the article spoken by a Jewish director of a film about the Holocaust. Because of that they had to take…

Horny is the backbone of the internet. Remember a few weeks back when misogynists were all “Sweeney’s breasts are the counter to woke” and the rest of the internet was “Everyone loves big breasts, you tit”

Well damn, here I thought they were making a movie for free!

It seemed so obvious to me, too. It’s just that weird anti-fandom stuff; it’s maybe only a layer deeper than surface, but since some people can’t take a second to consider it they feel they have to do a take on how it’s gonna suck.

The sisters were the only real hook keeping the franchise interesting. The Meeks twins were great too, but having the ghost of Billy around telling his daughter to get stabbing was the special sauce. This would essentially be another iteration on Scream 4, which was a fine movie but showed that the franchise was…

Imagine going to one (1) conference where some dude talks about how to drive traffic to your site, and then unilaterally making the decision to pivot to inane guides. Kotaku was dying, but I didn’t realize the pivot would hit Gizmodo as fast and as potently as it did.

And really, Dick Halloran only fits the trope in The Shining movie because he dies. In the novel he has a fully realized life and typical Kingian internal monologue. He survives because his shine is weak compared to Danny’s and Jack’s.

Just about all the stuff I saw about her wasn’t jokes at her expense, but rather being worried at her disappearance.

If you’re still on twitter you deserve everything bad that happens to you. Materially supporting a white supremacist is not worth keeping your social graph. Meta sucks, but is objectively better at outreach, and all you’re supporting is your standard billionaire weirdo.

I mean I’m not listening to FLAC on my phone, I also have my streaming settings set to standard when on mobile data since I’m typically on bluetooth and don’t want to eat up a ton of data. I feel some of this is from my generation of music-listeners that could absolutely tell the difference between CD and a 96-128 MP3…

It’s about chasing the incel clicks, pure and simple. It’s completely cynical and shows the lack of backbone AVC editorial and writers currently have.

Great film, and I can respect the abridging done of the book to keep it paced. Only thing I dislike is that it was definitely setting up towards Messiah when the book offered some bit of resolution

Whoopi sounds at least competent at this, though. So I’m not really seeing the Cersei comparison.
