They’re definitely talking about the comic, which ruined, ohhhh, about 10 years of comics (save X-men, who weren’t really involved in Civil War, but was ruined itself by House of M, and saved by Whedon and Morrison). Never forget, no matter how much money he makes selling his rape fantasies to movie companies, the…

It was a famous incident. Al got the approval from Coolio’s management and assumed that that meant Coolio himself was aware of it. Coolio was VERY angry. I believe they have long since patched it up.

A frivolous view of vaccines is a bad look for someone with a PhD who promotes herself as a scientific expert. 

Gamers had nothing to do with it - the release date was based on their fiscal year, their outlook, and shareholder expectations.

All around fantastic character actor, the kind of guy you see in something and go “OK, this is going to be better than expected.”

I just got a Gigabyte Aero with a 3070 two months ago, and it’s an absolute delight. Gorgeous screen, and no issues whatsoever other than some fiddly stuff (turn off their “AI”). So don’t necessarily be dissuaded.

When I had a desktop, that was absolutely the case. It’s like the headphone jack or the USB port on a phone - reliably fails after 2-3 years.

Running down the list from multiple comments:

Oh, bother

They can fire him; that is, the board can. But if they’re still meeting their investor targets, there isn’t much incentive to, and there’s a risk that firing the CEO could tank the share price.

As the podcast You’re Wrong About has taught me, it is EXTREMELY hard to nab a CEO for malfeasance. You can’t just show that they knew about the problem. You have to show their frame of mind in how they chose to address it. And shareholders don’t care who the CEO is as long as the stock is doing well. This is why Ken…

Yeah, I’m deeply skeptical. How can you alter a perfect ending? I’m hoping this is just an added mystery in the middle of the game.

One of the main harassers in the Ubisoft story was just moved to another Ubisoft location, and no one noticed for years.

Jason Schreier’s next book is writing itself, it looks like.

The LoneLady album from last month is probably going to be my fave of the year, but the CHVRCHES/Robert Smith track is really, really good.

Rachel Weicz holds up EVERYTHING

Johnson is the definition of a cynical centrist. No offending anyone. At least Arnold was open about not wanting to be taxed more.

I can think of three movies where Johnson really gave interesting, fun, ACTORLY performances: The Rundown (NOT a guilty pleasure - it’s a delightful movie), Be Cool, and Southland Takes (a VERY guilty pleasure). Note that these were all at the beginning of his acting career. Somewhere along the way, he doubled in…

I believe they have the new mega high rise condos along Park Ave in Manhattan at a 75% vacancy rate.

It is a truism that venture capitalism is “doing things before they become illegal”
