Blogs aren’t the asteroid or the mammals who will survive it, they’re just a different species of dinosaur
Logan Paul, anti-BLM Russian agitprop memes, and NOT Your Sister porn: Algorithms are holding some very harsh mirrors up to how this country uses the internet
More like their publicists are working from the same playbook
This is 100% true. Chicago has some of the toughest handgun laws in the country, but Indiana and Wisconsin do their best to make sure every idiot who wants to shoot somebody can get their hands on one
It’s not about “redemption,” it’s about incentive. It’s far more lucrative to for content distributors redevelop a tarnished brand (aka resume profiting off of a sexual predator) than invest in creating new ones. Development costs money either way, but it doubles the loss to have to sit on an older library you can’t…
I want to say “not everyone, we need institutional experience!” But goddamn, just hire a few on as consultants during the rebuild or something. An institution that would think something like this was a good and necessary idea isn’t one worth defending
Complaints about Millennials (lazy, entitled, bad spending habits/priorities, overly complicated personal lives, etc) tend to be the exact same complaints wealthy people have about poor people. That dynamic encourages people to resent their peers while shamelessly trying to appeal to the complainers, instead of…
I reached out to the owner to make it right almost immediately and instead of responding made a marketing campaign out of it. Good for her. I wish the bakery all the success apologize for my actions and hope we can all move on from this.
I don’t think the laws in Maryland put as many restrictions on what security could or couldn’t screen for that day as much as the laws in Florida might have
You called it. When I posted it the two comments were almost in sequence and I wanted to make sure that stayed the case
There’s something to be said about a character that shamelessly ripped off Wasp’s powers and gimmick ending up in a copyright dispute, but over a yellow alien car-robot created years later than both characters
The administration wanted to pivot from a controversy that they didn’t want to deal with to a controversy that they’ve engineered to energize their base, and the press obliged despite how obvious it was that they were being exploited
Ugh, there’s more aggression and venom in the average string of back and forth Post-it messages on the break room microwave after someone reheats fish
Honestly, I’d tell everybody about that even if I couldn’t sue. That already tops any anecdote I’ve ever participated in
...it’s not the theft of the wording that matters as much as the theft of the idea. Plagiarism is theft of original thought; changing the words around and pretending to have written something new is the same pile of shit with a dab of cologne thrown on top.
Because of this speculation boom, issue #1s typically sold double (people bought one to save and one to read.) 90s Venom comics ran for 60 continuous monthly issues, but called each story arc a miniseries. This is why there are over a dozen Venom #1s from just that era, but no Venom #7 until the 2000s
Even if the owner goes underwater the brand retains value and someone is likely to buy it. The union can establish early on that accepting their current contract is a condition of keeping the employees, which are also a big part of the brand. It’s no guarantee, but at least it gets the union a seat at the table during…
