I never thought anything could ever top an Autistic Child and his Snow Globe as the most unwarranted ending to a series, but people keep trying!

The most simple and cynical reason is to get awards. Just the idea of a film about a musical version of the book-based film is nauseating. Having been 13 in 1985 I found the material made me ask my parents a few things. Growing up in MA you only were taught the material in bits and pieces based on age. It was a school…

I’m wondering what mental gymnastics AV Club will use to explain The Color Purple - The Film based on the Musical later this month? Racism? Rampant Misogyny?

That’s a highly subjective statement with no historical data. Both Volvo and Mercedes have lead in utilization of safety features.

Apple’s so worried about the monetary damages, they pull it Christmas Eve? Nothing like juicing sales by pulling out the FOMO card.

Montana... helps to read the article!

It’s come to my attention the Oppenheimer quote was from Spy Kids 2... guess I should have better sourced my info! Damn memes!

With historical knowledge of how civilizations evolved, most people understand that it was a matter of perspective that fostered the ideas of global floods or “Acts of God” that extended beyond their horizon.

My God may not be your idea of God, but one thing I know of my God — he makes me a humanitarian. I am a proud Jew because we gave the world the Bible and the story of Joseph.  Albert Einstein 

We’re going to see a pickup in workforce reductions in various industries over the next 6 months. The refinancing of long-term debt is hitting companies and they are offering early retirement packages to get people out the door. Not the same as a straight-up culling, but it goes under the radar for most. (Banks are…

How fucking lazy do you have to be?

My garage consists of a 2023 Rivian R1T, a 2018 XC60 (ICE) and 2022 Polestar 2 which my niece will be getting over the holidays now that she has a job and can pay me a few bucks to own it.

These results fall in line with studies about overweight people in the workplace. The assumption that they are in some way less intelligent (read “lazy”) feeds into biases we see in most forms of entertainment, barring the last two or three years where representation of various groups has increased.

There’s a certain amount of narcissism we accept from people who openly state “I’m here to fix your problems. I’m the ONLY one who can!” Like most fanbases, Cults of Personality reign and people willingly accept all kinds of irrational behavior because they don’t want to admit to themselves or others they chose…

Camden Yards and Raven’s Stadium are both owned by the Maryland Stadium Authority (MD state entity) and lease the properties to the Orioles and Raven’s. Just this year the Orioles held the state until the 11th hour over the terms of any renewal resulting in the $600M investment.

I join the tax incentive debate for stadiums...

If someone is dumb enough to give money to the “unknown relative” based solely on a rumor of familial relations deserves to lose their money!

The issues you suggest are realistic but assume that companies won’t also work towards the protections you point out today. My point was about people getting worried about a threat that doesn’t exist today and may not due to technological advances.

Not a China apologist and have a very real understanding of the harm they have created domestically and the harm they are exporting in the form of Belt & Road Initiatives. Creating debtor nations while also stripping resources for China’s domestic needs is creating a very different form of Colonialism. China has no…

They’ve already unlocked the genome and can readily identify the material that links you to any grouping. Should a Bad Actor decide to remove persons of a ethnicity or genetic link, this doesn’t change the math...
