shhhh... don’t be letting the trade secrets out, now! Next thing you know, we’ll have to tell this guy that Metallica loves capitalism so much they took Napster to court over it so fans couldn’t share the music for free. But god forbid someone buy their merch if they don’t own an album! Capitalism!

That’s some top-notch deflection. When you say there’s a problem with people who think people cannot be good AND masculine, it invites others to explain WHY they would think masculinity IS an issue. So I explained that to you. To pretend that it doesn’t have anything to do with you is absurd. Because you’re not…

if you are to be a good person you must not be masculine

You’re not even making sense now. So it’s okay of you’re a fan of something to do the capitalist thing and buy the merchandise but if you’re not a fan and you buy the thing because of fashion, then that’s bad capitalism? Or is it that Meg is making money off of Sailor Moon that’s bad capitalism? Or is that, by…

What in the actual fuck makes an outfit anything like a false flag operation? People can wear whatever the fuck they want for whatever reason they want. Any outfit picked out to wear in front of a legion of fans when performing at a concert is going to get attention. I can’t for the life of me figure out why you are…

I bet it’s the thing where some parents get all bent out of shape if their teen wants to wear a long black coat when it’s hot outside. It’s their body! If they don’t care about being hot, then that’s their own choice to make! It’s fucking clothes, dude - not a face tattoo! Get over yourself.

In a regular U.S. workplace, reasonable accommodations of a medical condition/disability are required under employment law. I do have to wonder if it applies here, since I have to imagine he has lawyers willing to push for those ADA protections.

If Summer was 17 in 2013, that puts her at the edge of being a Millennial, born in 1996. But I believe she says she’s 16 in the first season, so that means she was always Gen Z.

This is exactly it- this was one of those movies ALWAYS on some basic cable channel around the holidays. Legendary for how they’d sub in “yippee kay yay, melon-farmer” or something similarly absurd.

I may be biased as a “geriatric millennial,” but since Die Hard was released in 88 (and two of sequels released by 1995), and Millennials were born 81 - 96, I feel like it’s really more of a “Gen Z doesn’t know Die Hard” issue. And if Summer is a teen still, she’s solidly Gen Z.

I also worry that this was reported to the media in hopes that it would make FKA Twigs look bad. Which, given the fuckery around the Depp/Heard lawsuit, we know can be an easy way to manipulate public sentiment ahead of a court case.

PageSix’s “sources” say it isn’t clear who first approached whom in the hotel lobby Wednesday

But I already pointed out:

This is an extremely defeatist outlook that ignores everything we could learn from this Kansas vote. To say there’s nothing else we can do except keep doing the same thing we’ve been doing for decades, the thing that’s brought us here, is the wrong conclusion to make. If we know people will turn out for a ballot…

The thing about giving her credit would be it would put Beyonce between a rock and a hard place because if she gave her credit and didn’t give her a cut, Kelis could cry foul about credit but no money. But if she gave her credit and DID give her a cut - The Neptunes could go after that money, arguing she was getting…

This is an entirely new world but Kansas is a good initial indication that pro-choice voters will not just go with whatever party they think will lower gas prices in the fall - as has been the case so often in the past.

Also- I think the GOP misread the situation and thought for years that the majority of people were voting for them because they opposed abortion, not in spite of it. I think this shows that a lot of people were so sure that Roe was a done deal that they were voting GOP for a myriad of other reasons and just assuming…

Someone dial 1-900-MIXALOT! This guy likes big butts but is both lying and denying it!

I bet we’re going to get some play on the countdown/doomsday clock for the entire movie. Time expanding and contracting based on proximity to the nuclear event.

So, again: the traumatic experience and subsequent emotional stunting provides agency and empathy to the main character and without it, this reviewer simply makes it seem like exploitation of a neurodivergent character.
