Fun Boy Three, not Fun Ball Three.

Yes. We can always find a way to blame the women when the men behave badly.

It’s like if the head of Disney literally collected the six Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all Marvel movies as a tax write-off.

In theory, they have to be paying some kind of residuals to actors, writers, directors, etc. But I can’t imagine its really that onerous of a cost.

I just don’t think the guy has any idea what he’s doing.

Generally, but particularly in retail/service, people don’t quit a job, they quit a manager. 

Thank god I never got into twitter lol. 

This type of discourse (the actual “scandals”, not the discussion of them) is a big part of why I left Twitter. I pulled the trigger on deleting once Musk’s takeover was assured, but it had been a LONG time coming.

So, to clarify: a young actress starring in a hotly-anticipated TV series experienced as-yet-unidentified symptoms of an illness, and because she didn’t instantly know it was Covid and single-handedly halt production over it, she deserves to be put on blast?

Fuck, I loved this show.

Oh this really, really hurts. Genuinely fantastic show, one of the best comedies from the last few years. The fact that so many vapid franchise shows reign supreme and wonderfully artful shows like this get canned is heartbreaking and portentous of television’s future, metrics be damned. Long live Tati. :’(

I miss having a President who could confidently deliver zingers and was inarguably/unquestionably oriented to person, place, time, and situation. 

Let’s concede that the school probably couldn’t do nothing about this, but they sure didn’t need to go straight to threatening dismissal from the soccer team and possible complication of her ability to graduate. To me this has one semester of disciplinary probation written all over it. It would also send a message to…

Aymond had the altar removed and set it on fire.

Well, y’know, if yer gonna get fired from a gig, you might as well get fired for a reason.

Knives Out was wonderful but I was originally skeptical that “Benoit Blanc” needed to live on in the sequel(s?), but this does sound very good. And now that he’s left Bond behind, I need all the Daniel Craig I can get!

After a Blue-verified user changed their name to Eli Lilly and announced that insulin was now free, which was not true. The tweet from the fake verified account wiped out an estimated $15 billion from the company’s market cap.

The weirdest thing I see is the idea that he’s publicly making awful decisions because his goal was always to destroy Twitter. Although, if he was going to do that, you’d think he could just fire everybody and close the doors. Why make it look like the fault lies with his own massive incompetence?

Dave Chappelle has a bit about Michael Richard’s on-stage melt-down, and I think about it every once in a while. (1:51 in the video below)

Comedians aren’t a monolith, but they are often a tight knit group. These guys were (usually) friends before anyone else knew their names. They typically have a better understanding…

“A conversation that I don’t think I’d want to have in this venue” is also an awareness that the person on the phone is looking for “Seinfeld blasts back at Chappelle” clickbait headline and he’s politely opting out of that.

Why would you wear a black dress to a wedding? Was she being intentionally hostile?
