I work in an industry parallel to the TV/Film industry. I occasionally deal with metrics like Nielsens. I promise you, nobody gives a shit that people on the internet don’t like the show. I mean LOOK at the ratings, lol. It dwarfs anything else right now.

Fair enough. My point being is that if this were for something more abstract, impressionistic, etc. there would be far more room for artistic license without anybody commenting.

It’s specifically for the National Portrait Gallery. Realism is kind of their thing, especially for a First Lady (let alone the first African-American first lady). Someone saying “it doesn’t look like her” is completely acceptable here.

While true, the unfortunate result is that the Professor will guaranteed rationalize it by saying the ends have justified the means. The class is about “Cultural Freedoms”, not legal (apparently), so the more outraged people are about him speaking the word, the more he will say it is why using it was necessary to

This is not a true statement. Certain narrow types of “inciting, provocative, or offensive speech” are not protected. Or at the very least, in the setting described, this would be a incredibly large mountain to climb to prove legally.

Dear Post Malone’s Publicist/Friends/Whoever,

You unfortunately may be right.

Fact: Many people, rightly or wrongly, assume that the term “Auto-Pilot” in a plane means some sort of autonomous control e.g. the plane is doing the flying for you, NOT just altitude, speed, etc.

Jesus Christ, this is a horrible advice. To those that may not be, nor have been, in the service industry, the practice of getting the plates stacked up is called “pre-bussing”. If there is one thing that is probably drilled into the head of every server that’s ever lived when they are being trained, it’s some manager

Sorry for you, your family, and especially your Mom, Damon. Horrific.

The close-ups are impressive, but that first shot with the blurred focus...that’s really well done. But that’s just, like...my opinion, man.

Guys, guys, everyone stop fighting! It’s pretty clear that by tanking, and yet not guaranteeing finishing with the first pick, and becoming a league-wide laughingstock, by drafting HOF’ers like Jahill Okafor and European players that never played for the 76'ers, trading away Thaddeus Young for nothing, trading FOR

I think you are jumping to conclusions a little. When he says “I didn’t want to be one of those people,” I think it’s clear that what he means is that he never saw himself as someone who would commit assault, that there’s a “type” that does it: a fraternity guy, or a “bro”. Basically “them”. “They” do that type of

HAHAHA They’re right. You are so triggered...

Hey Erica, while certainly awesome-looking, and not as though people shouldn’t double-check this themselves, that Kickstarter pre-order won’t ship until July of next year(!). While I love it when y’all point out cool stuff, that’s an awfully long time to wait for something advertised on the “Deals” page. That’s a Star

Hey Erica, while certainly awesome-looking, and not as though people shouldn’t double-check this themselves, that

The article is great (as everything you write). And every time I see Lavar on TV I think “What a genius.” As though the schadenfreude people will feel if his sons aren’t all-time legends isn’t worth the billions...

Because the margins on the VR system are much smaller than console sales. But that’s not even the main point. The amount of time to set-up infrastructure, R & D, marketing, etc. for a product is huge, and it means to make money you have to stay in that ecosystem (VR) for a while. But I think it’s pretty clear that
