But Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis both said they wanted to build tunnels in Florida? Surely they wouldn’t lie about the viability.

Hear me out: Tesla doesn’t need Musk. In fact, given his current status and reputation, one could argue it would be better off without him. In the past, he brought the company good PR as the “new genius savior of the world”, but those days are long gone. 

“Should he ever be asked to return to the role”? I thought it was confirmed that Bernthal WAS returning to the role of Punisher in DD: Born Again.

The first episode is about half a recap of Hawkeye, with a bit of DD fight thrown in to get you excited. And then the rest of the show is basically nothing like that. Most of the rest of the series is Maya meandering around her hometown in Oklahoma. Then Kingpin shows up. Honestly, though I guess it’s refreshing for…

AI makes horrible soulless versions of every artistic industry it touches, but comedy might be the most egregious. Trusting robots with humor just shows how little these tech bros know about how actual cultural expression works. It’s “art” by people who understand art the absolute least.

The headline makes it seem like NASA actually did some kind of investigation, but the story is just NASA saying that they haven’t seen anything and expect SpaceX to comply with all workplace requirements. Basically, they ain’t seen nuthin, but also, they aren’t really looking. Seems like they’re trying to cover their…

As we all know, the REAL problem is when a flight crew is all women, or when airlines hire black pilots, or when flight attendants wear pins with their pronouns.

I definitely can see that Pete Davidson’s comedy is not as “serious” or “important” as Hasan Minhaj’s comedy was believed to be, but I still ultimately think comedians do comedy, and exaggeration of stories is something that should be expected, and trying to hold them to some arbitrary standard isn’t some worthy cause…

Please no Pykes. Just the most boring villains. We’ve already seen them bore up the Clone Wars final season and the Book of Boba Fett, would love it if they didn’t barge in to bore up the Mando movie.

Oh, see, sometimes things are implied and not explicit.

I don’t believe you can call stand-up routines “a very serious thesis”. Even if Minhaj is trying to be more of a “serious” comic, it’s still a stand-up routine, and exaggeration is implied. 

Here’s four from the AV Club over the course of a month and a half:

So Tesla has been sued by former employees for being racist, and was found to be liable for damages.

I mean in this case it’s the AV club and the AV club, so, yknow.

For the purposes of standup comedy, is it really?

Based on previous G/O media articles harping on Minhaj’s standup.

You don’t have to announce a break! You can just stop posting! I do it all the time, I just don’t post for a few days. No one cares or notices! It’s fine!

Wait, so it’s GOOD to get mad at Hasan Minhaj for not telling truth in his standup, but BAD to get mad at Pete Davidson for not telling truth in his stand up? G/O was all over the Minhaj story. Why is Davidson different?

I thought it was known that Our Flag Means Death was ending with the second season. 

Pivoting to video worked out so well for everyone else when Facebook pushed it out into the world based on lies and overexaggerated metrics.
