Yep, it’s the same story with Uber, GrubHub, WeWork and all those venture-inflated businesses that use billions of dollars of VC money to artificially prop up a failed business model for a few years before taking everyone down with them.

I never used MoviePass, but I had friends who went crazy with it even though I warned them from the beginning that the business model was unsustainable.

There's a reason this model works better with gym memberships ...

“...but that’s also not totally accurate because MoviePass believed that every user was using the service too much.”

She tries too hard to act like Jim Morrison of the world famous Doors group.

I hate myself that this was also my first reaction.

Was she making music and touring?

Gee, thanks. Handing ammunition to the RWNJs and the propaganda engine to take down... who?

That headline had me thinking the actor had a secret @kkkprincess account or something. Jesus Christ, unless someone can show something she’s said or done shut up and leave her alone.

Yeah, but in the outtakes, Kermit is clearly seen walking around wearing a white hood.

I’m not sure that holding a 41 year old responsible for not knowing a beauty pageant was racist/classist when she was 19 (and really, from what I’ve read they were working against all poors, not just PoC) is really worth the hysteria.

1999 was a looong time ago and everybody’s understanding of racial/social justice has…

I think this may be a little off-base. It’s likely that 19-year-old Ms. Kemper had no idea about the racist origins of the beauty pageant in which she participated, given, you know, that there are a LOT of racist things about America that people don’t realize, especially at that age.

The VERY RACIST H.P. Lovecraft’s MOST racist story is probably the one set in Missouri, which he ghostwrote for/collaborated on with a woman from Missouri.

Oh thank Christ, I thought there was actually going to be meat to this story and that I was going to have to write off another actor/ress.

This is a nothing-burger. It’s like getting upset that people who get hammered at Octoberfest are just celebrating the Anti-semitism of Bavaria in 1276...

Hol up, you’re telling me that St. Louis did something Klan related? THE St. Louis? The one in Missouri? Oh wow, who could have ever imagined that aside from literally every person on the planet or at least these United States? I had to look up who she was (I’ve tried with the Office but it’s just not funny; never…

Umm... no... the headline should probably read “white girl went to a debutante ball when she was a teenager and was crowned princess by the organization that sponsored it which was linked to racism that the white girl likely knew nothing about”. I really hope she doesn’t get dragged through the mud for this shit.

So what did she actually do that was racist?

Agreed, this Murica nothing to see here

So the black people & watermelon thing comes from... of all the fuck bois, thomas edison. One of the first motion pictures he shot was at a watermelon eating competition which was in a black community. Since the motion picture was so new, people flocked to see the films he’d made, and for a lot of white people, that…

Like seriously why are WE associated with chicken (and watermelon)...who the fuck doesn’t like chicken (and watermelon)! They’re fucking delicious!
