*Fires entire team of content moderators*

This is what contributes to bloat and budget mismanagement. If you’re the “support” branch, then when it’s time to take the knife to cut waste congressional oversight eyes fall on you first. So every branch wants to be able to go to congress and justify the money.

Counterpoint: Executives and Producers who bite their nails over whether every movie is a tentpole film are what make the few superhero movies we had for decades stale and formulaic. I’m fine with a few random weird loser films in the mix if it normalizes freedom of artistic expression. You don’t get a Lord Of The…

I’ll withhold judgement until I see the film, but I know this: I’m happy to take my comic book movies the same way I took my comic books as a kid. If one is a stinker, wait for the next one. I bought off the rack and read the entire ‘70s to mid-’80s print run of The Defenders. I bought and read X-Factor, for crying…

Today I learned a new Yiddish word, thank you.

All the social media tsunami during the trial made me sick to my stomach. The only thing I got out of that circus was that her legal team is the absolute clumsiest I’ve ever seen in a public court case. Their clown show fed into the hatebros trashing her, and their bumbling strategy and presentation lost the case and  …

Gisele: “Stop doing those awful Hertz commercials, or I’m leaving”.

I’m super hopeful, and absolutely going to see the movie in theaters. But as I read through those above reactions, I don’t know who a lot of them are and some language seemed repetitive in their posts. How many of them are shills? God dammit, cancer sucks. Chadwick Boseman forever!

I love this cartoon. The difference between the cooperative hunting of canids versus the ambush predator behavior of felines means that despite roughly equivalent intelligence they interact with us in very different ways and have domesticated in radically different processes. Dogs went all in on communal dependency…

In Resurrections, Morpheus is back, but his personality is uploaded into a different body

Jesus Fucking Christ on a Stick. Just pay a hooker and roleplay if you need to jerk off, asshole.

You’re right, but it’s also true that marriage is a bullshit institution rooted in religious control of peoples’ personal lives and a culturally-induced fear of being adult and not paired. It’s unnecessary and barbaric, except in places that are so primitive that it’s necessary to provide some protections under the…

I’m beginning to get the impression that these people are horrible.

Can an author sue a newspaper or ‘blogger who purchased their book for quoting a paragraph of said book in a negative review? Pursuing damages for breach of subscription contract seems more likely. As a content creator, she allowed use of her media according to the terms of the contract. The end user abused those…

Breach of contract for the agree-upon terms of service of subscription is her best bet. Comparing it to a physical theft is an appeal to public opinion, not a sound legal argument.

I don’t believe in outing or shaming anyone for whatever they do to pay the bills so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, and I believe that the sex industry and everything adjacent to it should be legalized and destigmatized in order to root out exploitation in a grey market, but this statement:

I hear you, I have all the pre/sequel books. They’re okay, but they’re not Dune. It’s just, you know. Like if you love steak, and then there’s no steak anywhere in the world anymore because we ruined everything. But some cash-grubbing Soylent Corporation tells you they have this new Green steak substitute, so you try…

I find that very believable, and I’m okay with it.

This article just triggered me to spend a bit over an hour down the rabbit-holes of the Dune wiki pages. Not a terrible way to spend an afternoon, honestly.

But again, there are cords/cables involved. It’s like Dyson calling his air purifier fan thingy “bladeless” when there is absolutely an impeller at the base of it, and impellers use a bladed rotor to move air.
