If they’d legally adopted him, he would be entitled to the same inheritance as their biological children.

If they’d legally adopted him, he would be entitled to the same inheritance as their biological children. He probably only just found out that he wasn’t, so now he wants compensation for all the money they made off him. I’m sure he knew he wasn’t getting checks from the book/movie, but he probably didn’t worry too…

Let’s be honest, anyone who claims to be an Independent is a republican and will vote that way.

The best analogy I’ve heard is that candidates are like buses: You get on the one going closest to where you want to go. You don’t refuse to get on any bus because none of them go to your front door.

40 students in a 1st year course, but only a single staffer on the books for the program?  I think they were making money just fine.  You’ve seen tuition costs lately, correct?

That would be valid, if that was why they were cutting the major.

Great way to shut out marginalized voices - shut down programs of academic study geared towards elevating marginalized voices.

I’m not saying don’t vote for Nader or Stein or West, but IMO we’re at a place right now where one party is actively trying to eliminate the possibility of any other party winning an election ever again, or even existing. Which includes third parties. People can vote how they want, of course, and I don’t consider any…

That’s OK. When Republicans essentially end voting for all but rich white males, they won’t have to worry about voting for someone that isn’t progressive any more.

Oh look another insecure white incel drunk on power.

Kinda sums it up:

I tried going back through twitter to find where I saw it, but someone broke down the actual cost of the WGA demands per each studios respective most recent profits...and the HIGHEST was 0.1%, most were well under that.

Stunning isn’t even apt, the level of disgusting, blatantly offensive greed here is truly astounding.

Excuse me, but it’s the job of a CEO to say, “Yes, let’s make this” or “No, let’s not make this,” and that’s truly the most creative part of the industry and could NEVER be replaced with... let’s say... a spreadsheet combining a series of multi-quadrant elements like a schematic for a team of accountants to scan…

There was a Guardian article that tallied up all the wage increases being requested, and it came up to like $500 million. Compared to over $200 billion in profit across the industry, that equates to half a percent. That’s all the hit in profits they’d need to take in order to end the strikes.

Having seen both Blade Runner 2049, which was “good,” and Alien: Covenant, which was very much “not good,” I’m comfortable with the way things worked out. Scott has some very high highs, it’s true, but his full body of work is decidedly spotty, especially in recent years.

Every Musk plan starts with a big announcement, then an update, then quietness, then a casual excuse while saying everything is right on track, and and then it gets shit-canned because he’s had a better plan that will supersede the original, and then there’s nothing.

I mean this is a dude obsessed with his dick. He gets lots of props for his post-9/11 actions, but peoplee ignore the fact that he kept the city government emergency headquarters at 7 WTC when all recommendations were to have it in BK, strictly because he was using 7 WTC to carry on an affair with Judith. City gov reac…

“Others show Giuliani calling Dunphy “my bitch,” “my whore,” and “my fucking slut” at different points.”

“I can’t think about you or I get hard. Even if I think about how smart you are, I’ll get hard. I’d never think about a girl being smart. If you told me a girl was smart, I would often think she’s not attractive.”
