100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

Over 6000 layoffs in the video game industry, but how many people have been laid off in the Tech Industry altogether from 2023-present? The fact that companies can just throw their workers away while claiming record profits is ugly capitalism at its finest, but the sheer unchecked accountability for companies to…

no there’s a big difference between liking something and being a fan of something.

For the 1 millionth time, free speech protects people from the government imposing penalties on you for saying stupid/offensive/controversial/etc shit.

Maybe my memory is hazy in my old age, but I remember back in the day a movie/game/book/show/whatever could come out, and if the thing was mid or even bad...that was it. It was just a mid/bad thing, and while people might wish it was better, we’d just shrug our shoulders and then move on with our lives. It was okay.…

it’s nice to see the fandom not take the poor story out on the actors here.

 I loved Rey and the rest of the crew after TFA. It’s not the characters - or the actors - I have a problem with. It’s the story/writing. Daisy had nothing to do with that.

That’s what I was exactly going to say. The issue with the Sequel Trilogy wasn’t the characters but rather the story (or rather the mess) that they all eventually fell into.

Sure, and he does have a good rapport with his actors, and can write decent dialogue. He just isn’t that great at the big picture.

Say what you want about JJ, but he cast TFA extremely well.

I liked all the new characters in the sequels. I just wish they’d had more interesting things to do.

Well, that sucks. I really enjoyed this show and I was hoping it would get a second season. And they can definitely do less of She-Hulk vs. Jen on screen. Like they forced her to be green at her job, when it didn't make sense.

She also was responsible for returning Star Wars to cultural relevance with Baby Yoda and the Mandalorian the 2 most popular characters in the IP since the very first movie.

“The train wreck that has been Star Wars since she accepted the task is, if not solely, mainly on her. “

but JJ abrams, who directed that mess, doesn’t get any flak for it. 

Wow that is a major dodge if I have ever seen one. It isnt like you ever see Kennedy’s critics even bring Marcia Lucas up, so how is that even relevant? This has a big “I cant be racist I have a black friend!” vibe.   

People who bash Kennedy are just misogynistic dumbasses, there is really no argument here.

Thank you for writing this article. The dissociation and insistence on distraction or making little points to try and dismiss the heart of this - the heartbreak of this - are telling of how deeply seeded these views are. I appreciate your bringing them to light.

There are no heroes in this conflict, only villains (Hamas and the government of Israel) and victims (Palestinians, and to a lesser extent Israelis).

There is an actual definition of genocide and what Israel is currently doing absolutely meets that definition. It does not require the complete elimination of an ethnic group. The hallmark of genocide is the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a ethnic, religious or other group. Israeli leaders at all levels have…
