Because it’s mostly FUD stuck together with bullshit?

It’s not front page news because it’s BS. Just read the source article. Study was completed in 09-10 (6+ years old is NOT new) and there hasn’t been another since. Only 124 mile stretch, did not account for unknown/uncontrollable/unaccountable variables such as coral age, grass and other biomass decomposition, weather

The article deals with coral dissolution, not coral bleaching.

What about disabled people? Why do LGBT folks get a gay character before a disabled character? Who gets to decide whose grievance takes precedence?

By punching numbers into modeling software, and changing those numbers until you get the output you want.

I’m so over people being outraged over this. Honestly in the grand scheme of things this doesn’t matter. Asian actors are slowly getting bigger and bigger roles in American productions. I’m pretty sure when the screenwriters wrote this movie they had one person in mind for the role, and that was Tilda Swinton.

The Ghostbusters movie is going to be awful isn’t it?

This is just...so dumb.

GoT had no more “boobs and blood” than a lot of premium HBO TV, from Deadwood to Rome.

GOT has always got by on the stellar acting from its core cast and a story that keeps people tuning in next week to see what happens to people they’re invested in.

The only people who care about the boobs are

30 years of refereeing experience tells me that’s a good goal. I don’t see a distinct kicking motion, to begin with. I see a player trying to corral the puck with his skate.

A woman of colour playing a character that is traditionally white? Cue the outrage in 3... 2.... 1...

*Sigh*

The man and his opinions changed drastically over his life, especially after Jack was killed in WWI. Same story as Mark Twain. As the men got older and saw more examples of how things can go wrong, they distanced themselves further and further from imperialist policy.

“Reminder: Rudyard Kipling Was a Racist Fuck and The Jungle Book Is Imperialist Garbage.”

“We are going to lose most of our coral reefs.”

“You can’t call your space football team the Blue Skins!” (the whole movie is nothing but a trial about copyright and merchandising sales and never leaves the courtroom).

So he says he’ll never do another Terminator because that story is done, but when it comes to giant smurfs masquerading as native Americans, he’s on board for all eternity.


But what do you want me to do? I'd have gone to see it if Michelle Yeoh had been cast, or B.D. Wong, or if they Joel Grey/Remo Williams'd it again. I'm going to watch Iron Fist AND I'm going to watch the Thor series. In other words, I get it, but not enough to not see it. So, I'm not an ally. I'm just someone who just

Casting Tilda Swinton as a Tibetian - WHITEWASHING! Casting Finn Jones as a Caucasian - NOT DIVERSE! Casting Idris Elba as a Nordic God - NOT ENOUGH SCREEN TIME! Do I have it right? I really do want to listen and be woke and aware and all that, but at some point, the constant repetition drowns out any salient point.

If they cast and asian person Marvel wouldve been called out for perpetuating stereotypes. They lose either way. At least with Tilda, she is a woman and appears gender fluid. Thats the small progressive win.

Two whites don't make a Wong.
