I know Brad. He told me NFTs are making their way back up and I should move whatever money I don’t have in gold into them.

“All communications are down! Everyone’s talking about it on the internet.”

do you have a macro for these written or is this all bespoke posting

I would say that in TV or movies, yes indeed all questions be must provided satisfactory answers. They don’t need to be complete answers, or prove only one answer while disproving all others, or be the answers the audience wants, but the show must provide satisfactory reasoning(s) that function within the logic of the…

I just watched it last night, and yeah the eye flip was weird. It’s on the left ~90% of the time, but here and there swaps over to the right. In the days of yore we would have assumed they flipped the negative by mistake, but obv that can’t happen with a digital camera. So, for whatever reason, it was intentional.

Again, the stunning part here is that there’s no amount of money too small for this guy to grift. 1000 pairs of shoes x $400 = $400,000 if they sell out, which I would put very much in question. If he gets 50% (which would be an insane royalty in the category, usually it’s 5%, but one would guess he’s getting the…

Hillary Swank with Ramzan Kadyrov as well.

I’ve always tried to and been a good tipper, but the fatigue is real. Not only is it more costly (standard used to be 15%, now it’s 20%), but the scope has vastly increased. It used to just be for restaurants and higher effort personal services, but now you start getting prompted for tips just about everywhere. And…

I assume you mean you’ve stood next to him? He (rather famously) wears lifts. It’s pretty widely reported that he’s either 5'6" or 5'7".

Housing prices were relatively low by modern standards during Napoleon’s time as well. You could get a place right on the Seine for a few hundred francs. Huge bargain! Peasants should have been buying at those costs.

What’s telling about the “Alec Baldwin should be held responsible, he was a producer!!!” types of posts/sentiments is that they literally never (not one!) say anything about holding any of the other producers on the project, of which there were seven (including Baldwin, along with 4 EPs and the line producer), liable.

This is an astonishingly sympathetic article about the person who was most directly responsible for a person’s death. I particularly like the assertion that Baldwin “has thrown a lot of his considerable clout toward pushing focus on the origin of the bullet, and away from any other factors that might have made Rust an…

Came here to say the same. Companies that intend to go public or be bought someday incorporate in Delaware to reassure potential investors that they’re going to be responsible(ish) with their money, rather than run the company like the CEO’s personal piggy bank.

Not that I disagree with the general thesis that this is another pump and (probably) dump, but this paragraph...

Not only not a good use of their time, but ours as well. Someone like Taylor Swift or Leo Messi or Elon Musk going through check-in at LAX would shut the airport down for hours, what with the security issues and insane fans. Now multiply that by 200 for every airport they’re in over the course of the year, and again…

In my experience the “come and take it” types are those that immediately fold when presented with real authority.

Let’s kill the fake argument about how mega-celebrities could or should just fly commercial, and then global warming would go away or be severely diminished. And/or that none of them have a right to speak up about global warming until they stop flying privately. Leo or Al Gore or Taylor Swift using their platforms to…

“But TikTok spearheaded the short-video revolution...”

The trailer had a very “look, we’re doing something cool!!!” vibe to it, but didn’t actually look cool. It also doesn’t help that the two leads are more stars because they were in famous properties, as opposed to being big individual stars with passionate fanbases.

Gizmodo intentionally misrepresenting this story makes me trust this site quite a bit less.
