Maybe none of those many, many actresses who fit the physical description of Tripp have the talent that Sarah Paulson has.

I’d always understood Murphy’s AHS/ACS projects as almost like running a theater company, recasting a mostly-stable the cast of actors into each season’s productions. There’s something interesting in that from a writing/directing standpoint that is different than if this were a standalone film, I think.

Sean Penn was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast a while back and he was talking about how the push to have roles only played by people who share the same physical and cultural attributes as their characters is worthwhile, but can be taken too far. He said (and I don’t remember the exact quote) ‘What’s next, only a Danish…

It’s called acting. People are playing dress-up as other people. What’s next? An actress can’t wear a red wig and instead you need to hire a ginger? If anyone should be offended by a skinny lady wearing a fat suit to represent her, it’s Linda Tripp. Checks notes...Linda Trip died last year. You know what I mean.

In any design based business, at the end of the project you should have at least some in-depth analysis done on what worked great, what didn’t perform as well as it could have, any communication issues, timing, lessons learned (if needed).  If you’re not doing some kind of post-mortem, you’re doing something wrong. …

Though, if you have to have a postmortem after every major release, maybe those postmortems aren’t working as intended.

If you read the history of rulings related to false statements, you’ll see that it mostly related to defamation-related statements. Outside of some marketing related laws and regulations, there isn’t really much that can be done with it within the current structure of the laws.

Well, no, that’s not how truly free speech works. But it absolutely can be how a private company with social responsibility could work.

It’s quite extraordinary that the very many responses explaining this article is wrong are based entirely on their not liking big outlandish games. “But I didn’t like Saints Row 4 for being so silly, so this is a bad take.”

Steam has problems but it is not “absolutely fuck all”.

I think you’re exaggerating just a bit here. 2017 estimates put them around 10 thousand dollars a day, and that’s if you consider “making money” to be equal to “generating revenue”. Even if you account for that estimate being an underestimate and growth over the last 3 years, they’re nowhere near even a million a day…

NASA and a host of other counties space agencies are contracting these companies to put their experiments and satellites in space right now. At a fraction of the cost of them trying to develop this tech themselves. SpaceX in particular has put tons of research and comm satellites in orbit for NASA, NOAA and other…

It’s pointless? SpaceX has launched 124 times putting satellites and experiments into space and brining astronauts and payloads back and forth to the ISS, mostly in re-usable rockets. And they’re doing the next moon landing. Something it would’ve taken NASA twice as long and billions and billions more in tax payer…

It’s not a suspiciously rushed fad. It’s a few projects literally decades in the making. I still don’t understand the snark about this new opening up of space to civilians. This will be remembered as a historic time. But all you guys can do is throw snarky shade because billionaires. OK.

“Fleeing?” Ridiculous. There’s nowhere to go. 

Tell that to Xerox and Q-Tip

It’s a teeny weeny bit like that, but not very much.

Barely even a “date.” Seemed like a celebrity trying to have a one-night thing (or at least a very casual thing) with a woman much younger than him. He treated her like a groupie. That’s not what she wanted, which may have been a bit unrealistic on her part— not that she deserved any mistreatment, if anything as the…

But Aziz clearly abused that one woman who couldn’t bring herself to say ‘no, thanks’, so how is this still a thing?!
