It also does an excellent job of repurposing sound bites from the films.

I found SOM to be a pretty lousy fit for Tolkien’s LOTR canon, but it fit quite well into Jackson’s cinematic LOTR canon. 

The king is of House Stark. 

The wall is miles long. It’s only got a gap near the Eastern side, by the sea. 

Yes, in the year 2019, in North Carolina, once a person consents to sex, there are no backsies.

The “It’s a Date” song sounds almost like a Hall & Oates parody, that Beaks of course has the EDM remix of. 

If they’re paying overtime hours, though, they’re much better off being patient. 

Disney pulled another bait-and-switch with their digital season pass again. This episode is labeled on Amazon Video as being part of Season 4, which is a load of crap. 

I’d wager that Sony doesn’t want the central traffic issues that come from automatically updating every installed game on every connected system any time a publisher posts a new update. 

They should really be suing the business itself, right?

I would also recommend S. A. Chakraborty’s “The City of Brass” and its sequel “The Kingdom of Copper.” 

Last time I checked, if you have a KFC that has a buffet, they normally serve Chicken Livers, though not the gizzards.

It might help if WOTC explicitly divided the seats for the pro tour between “ranked” seats and “wildcard” seats.

This is an avenue where machine learning and/or a neural network might come in handy. Instead of trying to calculate the best solution, use all the data WOTC collects from MTG: Online and MTG: Arena to determine what type of play or move has been most successful when used in actual games.

It was always meant to be a cab service. Their original name was UberCab. Dropping the “Cab” part was a strategic move. They know full well that they’re a cab company, but their business model requires them not to admit to that publicly. They want to operate a cab company that doesn’t have to follow municipal…

Through the Ages.

Again: culture, not tech. If I’m parsing Mathieson’s comments correctly, it sounds like movie studios yield more creative direction to Directors of Photography when they shoot on film than they do when DPs shoot digitally.

It sounds more like an industry culture thing. Like either way the digital monsters are added in post, but with film photography the studio is less likely to completely undo all the lighting work et. al. used to achieve a particular look during shooting.

I’d say they are indeed political, but only because one faction has declared “we ignore inequality, refuse to address it, and criticize any who do” as their primary political battle cry.
