And what kind of fool can’t figure out the proper cereal to milk ratio after a couple of tries? Why do you continue to pour in too much milk?

Seriously! That swig or two of half milk half sugar half cereal dust was the best part!

What kind of psycho doesn't drink the leftover milk after having their cereal 

Wall Street can’t short it since it isn’t publicly traded anymore.

Mary Barra might be Elon’s boss before too long when GM buys it.

I would love it if TSLA could continue to be an innovator and industry influence and could ditch the Musk schtick. Make great cars, stop saying stupid shit, stop selling customers and investors lies, and let’s make tesla great again. I could care less about stock price, I want to see something new. And playing video

I am by no means defending Tesla or Elon but you need to compare TSLA to other stocks and the market before just rattling off that TSLA is down 51% this year. Just checked Amazon and they are down around 49% from last year, Nikola is 78.56%, Rivian 78.71%, Lucid 81.44,  Fiskar 60.93%.  Even the big boys like Toyota,

How many broken promises can a guy make before the shareholders ask the board to remove him? Im sure it’s full of lackies, but how can he argue this is in the best fiduciary interest of the company?

Because Zaslav helped make the Discovery brand super profitable through a focus on cheap, unscripted, reality TV crap and thinks that’s what streaming services should be. In the last earnings call Discovery+ was far more profitable than HBO Max, even with about a third of subscribers, mostly through ad revenue. He’s

It’s purely accounting. After a merger the purchasing company has a window of time (which expires mid-August in this case) to write off the current assets of the purchased company that it doesn’t want to retain. For unreleased stuff like Batgirl, WBD can right off every bit of money they’ve spent. Released films are

Their calculus is that 10 shows that cost $100,000 to make might get more subscriptions than one show that cost a million to make, regardless of the moral or even financial value of the IP itself.

This, of course, is stupid as hell.

Discovery took on a load of debt in the merger - I think it was like $30-40 billion. Discovery shows are cheap, HBO shows are expensive, so they’re pinching pennies and dumping salaries to try and look like they’re profitable. It’s pretty terrible. Like, why buy WB/HBO if you’re just going to try to make it like

If all they’re getting rid of is duplicate admin staff, that’s one thing, but here’s what worries me, the majority of Discovery+ programming is reality tv shows, cooking shows, competition reality shows. They have some scripted history shows and a lot of shows like Ghost Hunters and Ancient Aliens. All of those shows

Because the guy making these decisions was the CEO and president of Discovery, Inc., before the merger? 

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

I mean, the absolute dominance of the MCU, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, et al shows we’re all ok with escapism, but it’s noteworthy when it’s done well at a level of craftsmanship and energy as Top Gun Maverick. Anyone can fart out passable escapism (how many of those Resident Evil movies did Milla glower through?) but

It’s a pretty awesome movie. Yeah, it’s all America woo military hoorah, but fuck it, that shit can be fun and entertaining. 

I was suspicious of this and fully prepared to hate it, but yeah, it is really good. In fact, I would dare to say it’s better than the original. In fairness, though, that’s because the story is stronger, and the story leans very heavily on the plot lines from the first movie. It is about everything you could expect

As problematic as Mr. Cruise may be, he is certainly not lacking leading-man charisma.

What’s the last Marvel product you consumed that didn’t require you to have watched other movies or TV shows, or read certain comics, to fully make sense?
