I thought of Louis B. Meyer, Judy Garland’s tormentor.  Face it, none of these guys were very benevolent.

Tbh fuck Nikki Haley though, she’s a piece of shit.

To quote Run the Jewels (in reference to the Ferguson protests):

I’m all for mocking Nancy Grace, but everything else almost sounds like he’s a parody of a misogynist. He sounds pretty fucking insufferable.

Lemon needed to go a long time ago. He’s a bad journalist and a bad person.

25 years ago, Warner Brothers’ 75th anniversary was a triumph. They created a traveling week-long film festival featuring films from specific decades each day. Look at this lineup:

Nope. Harry Cohn (Columbia Pictures) beats out Jack. May be an apocryphal story but at Cohn’s funeral which was attended by most of Hollywood, Red Skelton said, “Just goes to show you. Give the people what they want and they’ll turn out for it.”

Chuck Jones has a great story about Jack walking into the animation department in a sort of a surprise inspection. He was furious when he saw the writers staring off into space thinking up ideas instead of typing. He wanted to hear the click-clack of typewriters, dammit. After he left in a huff, they all conspired to…

This is why I showed up

It makes more sense when you remember that the target audience is asshole kids/teens.

I’m more than inclined to believe that there was no actual “prank” and it was likely just straight up harassment at the minimum.

I’d love to know what this so-called prank actually was. The only thing I’ve seen was one site said he had been right up in the guy’s face with his camera. It seems like they’ve been proud of previous times they’ve annoyed and harassed people enough they get angry, so I’m not completely surprised their “pranks”…

Between none of the reporting describing the “prank” and a cursory view of their channel, in addition to their statement that they’ll continue “pranking”, I’m more than inclined to believe that there was no actual “prank” and it was likely just straight up harassment at the minimum.

I’ve never gotten it... the whole “YouTube Prank” fad, even years ago in the early days of YouTube, they just felt really cringey and 99% of the time scripted if not blatantly malicious.

Yeah, if the “prank” was pulling a fake gun on someone or “joking” about bodily harm that might paint this in a different light.

Any attempt at comment from the alleged shooter or their legal representation?  Forgive me if I don’t take Cook’s “simple practical joke” statement at face value.

Posting is his “passion,” he told the news station, so he’s intent to return to YouTube.

It’s like how trump behaves in the way poor people think rich people act. musk behaves the way weak people think powerful people act.

It’s sad how people like him think this looks like the behavior of an adult.

Elon showing how utterly powerless he’s become by taking away something the Times already said they don’t value, which every other publication is about to lose anyway since none of them want to pay for it either.
