I hope he loses all material wealth, social status, and this finally can put a nail in his followers seeing exactly what became of their leader. Death would just make him the hero he claims to be.

“She struggled to speak about the trauma she’d experienced with police and felt belittled when an officer asked her friend if she had a learning disability.”

I hope someone sets this son of a bitch on fire.

Tom Cruise, a noted friend of the Miscaviges, was not present at the ceremony, given that he publicly disavowed the HFPA in 2021 for its lack of diversity. And as Carmichael noted, the Top Gun: Maverick star and Golden Globe nominee returned three of his awards in protest.

First: Fuck Miscavige, Cruise and their cult of psychopaths.

I don’t know if anyone else experiences this, but kinja login has been broken for over a year for me, and the only option that works - sort of - is the Twitter login. Granted, I get logged out as soon as I leave the page I was in, but I can actually click the empty avatar in the page that just loaded and my account…

It’s frustrating, because I already know on Wednesday that the supposedly liberal media will be parroting Republican (and frankly centrist/moderate Dem) talking points that Democrats lost because they focused too much on abortion, or because of defund the police or trans people.  Almost no one will ask if maybe…

When the Presidency was Republican, Elon Musk did not endorse the Democratic Party. He did not advocate for the Democratic Party to curb the excesses of the Republicans. He has never been at all concerned with “balance” when the GOP was in power. Elon is a classic example of an “independent thinker” who thinks he is ma…

“Do as I say, not as I do” as a defense of actions taken in direct conflict with words spoken (or thoughts espoused) is pathetic when dog-tired parents pull it on their kids.

If you think that Musk is able to separate his personal opinions from how Twitter will be run makes me think you’ve been asleep since he bought it.

The idea of neutrality as something inherently virtuous needs to be kicked to the curb. God, Elon Musk is a very, very stupid man: no idea how people have fallen for his PR

Man with pregnancy/breeding fetish who only views women around him as vessels for his sperm supports anti-abortion party.

So you’re thinking that he can replace $4.5 billion in revenue with getting users to pay $8 a month for a checkmark that most people will completely ignore? The idea of replacing your customer base from cash flush corporations to the few people that will remain on Twitter and pay for something optional is a path to…

Influence? These are advertisers. Over 90% if Twitters revenue is from ads so it’s a damn big deal if they start leaving in droves. Unless you think a mom and pop shop from Sheboygan Wisconsin is able to spend as much as VW did on ads in which case you’ve lost the plot.

It’s a lot easier to turn off a digital platform than it is to get employees out of a country ready to imprison them and use them as POWs.

Twitter now has around $1B in yearly interest payments due to the buyout. Before, Twitter just about broke even. With a recession coming on advertisers tend to reduce spending. So Twitter has to cut costs and find new revenue streams. Streams that will probably annoy their users.

As do I. In the books Rhaenyra even specifically says during her coronation that, while the Hightowers are traitors, her half-siblings will be spared as kinslaying is accursed. Also, Aegon wants to publicly declare Rhaenyra and her family are traitors and to be executed but Alicent and the Green council tell him he…

A war is being fought for the Iron Throne and a major point of contention is your bastard sons one day sitting upon it, so you... send them off to secure allegiances... by themselves... completely unprotected... into hostile territory? Buffoonery of the highest order.

“House Of The Dragon seems to have wildly varying ideas of what a 14-year-old looks like.”

The first season of Game of Thrones had its own unique issues but it still had so many more characters, both major and minor, to root for. House of the Dragons only has minor characters to root for (who all too often perish with all-too-quick deaths)...which isn’t enough to make for compelling TV. Almost all of HotD’s…
