I work in entertainment, and this is one of the realest and truest things I have heard someone in this industry say:

Congratulations

Only a matter of time until Gizmodo and Jalopnik lose theirs too, which will kill a lot of the reason I bother to visit more than once per day. I guess they figure that since the regular commenters probably number something like 100 people these days it’s not worth the upkeep. When I see a reddit thread based on a…

As I always say, this is the most American approach to a problem. Rather than consuming less or eliminating all meat from diets, the solution was to find a way to grow it in labs.

There is a really fun part in the documentaries that are special features on “Brazil” where they talk about expecting a huge $$$ hit from the fact that the entire score was the song “Brazil.” But, instead, the copyright owners hired an actual musicologist (I may get some details wrong, been a while) and he found that…

everyone in the comments should sue each other for stealing the same joke.

If every chord progression can only be used once per musical style, there isn’t going to be much left for future generations to work with and we’ve probably entered the clownpenis.fart stage of music (“Our lawyers recommend throwing a Bb Dim7 chord in the middle there, you’ll barely notice it.”)

I’m calling bullshit—if he really just wanted corporate hand jobs and hawkishness towards China, but without the culture war garbage, he'd be a vanilla Democrat.
