Well we lost $11 billion dollars, ruined HBO as a brand, all of our terrible DC movies aren’t making money, we lost the rights to the NBA, and even considered selling off our brand mascots. So I guess Zaslav gets his full bonus for a job well done

Character is more important than 100% ideological parity. Republican Party politicians have no values; it’s a party organized around mutual benefit for the worst humanity has to offer: opportunists, morons, abusers, bullies, grifters, liars, rapists, and authoritarians. Their leader somehow embodies every single one of those qualities. Not to say Democrats are perfect by any means, but I’d rather someone own up to their mistakes and right the ship late than never at all. I’ll happily count Walsh as an ally for that reason.

What is the team size behind each instance? Sopuli says it’s “run by a Finn” (as in one person)

They said in the first trailer that she’s pregnant.

Very good article. Thanks for sharing!

Not very anonymous when the list of suspects and list of authors is identical, unless I’m misunderstanding your idea.

I know it’s hard to believe, but real people work at corporations, and some are even in positions of authority. Some of those people even have actual values and aren’t just playing an elaborate charade as part of some conspiratorial master plan.

Publishing to journals, AKA a prime motivator for scientists? Good plan, you incompetent stooges.

If you can’t even fight on your own behalf, why would I trust you to fight for me?

Yes, and more than anything else, we need to stop it, because once privatized it’ll be nearly impossible to reclaim our national parks from corporations. Everything else is temporary or can be reversed; this would effectively be permanent.

Nancy Mace fun facts:

• She’s been divorced twice.
• She was engaged a third time, but that ended too.
• She accused her ex-fiancée and three other men by name of rape and physical abuse on the floor of Congress. All the men have strongly denied the accusations, and her ex noted that she made her accusations solely on the floor of Congress, the only place where she can’t be held legally liable for defamation. Another man sued her for defamation anyway.
• She condemned Trump after Jan 6, then voted against impeachment, then endorsed for president the candidate who was found liable for sexual abuse, accused by his ex-wife of spousal rape and physical abuse, accused of attending underage sex parties, and in total accused by over 25 women of rape, sexual assault, and stalking.
• She supports repealing the ACA.
• She used to be a very strong supporter of LGBTQ rights, then “mysteriously” became super hostile to those exact same rights literally days after Trump was reelected, to the point of sponsoring anti-trans legislation and repeatedly using hate language on the floor of Congress.
• She supported Liz Cheney and voted against her removal from Republican leadership, saying dissent should be protected. She appeared at fundraisers with her. Then she voted to remove her the next time the vote came up.
• She supports sending US troops to forcefully remove Palestinians from Gaza and to take control of the territory.

In summary, Nancy Mace is a failure of a human being with no core values. She will betray any person or cause she has previously supported in her quest for more power. Her personal life is a disaster, and she’s an active supporter of genocide.

No, he’s really not. He’s “both sides are terrible, no one wants to work anymore, and everyone’s too sensitive” center right curmudgeon.

2016:

“There’s been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle.”

“I think both individuals and both parties backing the individuals have a certain degree of insanity.” Eastwood said in the same interview, “I’m not on either side of the aisle. I think most Americans are going, ‘What the…? Is this all we can do?’ …When there were 17 people on the stage [in the early GOP debates], I thought, well, there are three or four people up there I could see voting for. They seem pretty good. I had a few…and then I thought, what the hell happened?”

In a red carpet interview with Extra on September 8, 2016, when asked about supposedly supporting Trump, Eastwood replied, “You know, I haven’t supported anybody, really,” and jokingly suggested that Trump and Clinton constituted a modern-day Abbott and Costello, referring to the bumbling comedians of the 1940s and early 1950s.

Then he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. That’s it.

Yeah. I think it’s somewhere in between this and the above post. I think he thinks it’s funny, and he likes stirring the pot for his own amusement or to deflect from something else. I don’t think he’s thinking about it as a demoralization tactic; I think he’s just having fun because he doesn’t take being president seriously and he’s just seeing what he can get away with.

I think Trump is mainly there for grifting, trolling, and bullying, and all the other stuff is just because he wants his crazy base to love him. He just uses the issues as leverage.

Talking big on the Internet

Yeah, first, this is movies, not politics.

Second, what the fuck does this even mean? Clint Eastwood doesn’t make “MAGA movies,” whatever those might be, and although he said some things in support of Trump back in 2016, he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. Also, again, none of this has any relation to his movies.

South Korea’s population will be cut in half in less than 50 years and be right around the size of North Korea by that time, which will have a much larger army unless South Korea dramatically increases conscription.

Within 70 years, South Korea will cease to be a functioning society. Their options are to dramatically and abruptly increase immigration (overtaking their native population and thereby wreaking havoc on their culture), reunify with North Korea (whose population would overtake theirs), or just give up and accept fate.

Either way, they’re going to be overrun or die out in the long run, and it’ll only get harder for working age people. Not sure nuclear armament is the best strategy given the demographic realities…

More than two times. The US has used wide scale tariffs many times in the past, particularly in the 19th century and into the early 20th. They directly caused or were a significant contributing factor to a recession and FIVE depressions. The last one was the Great Depression.

I mean, he of course thinks white people are superior. That’s why he’s a white supremacist.

But he said the first comment about Air Jordans in Atlanta, then a follow-up talked about low IQ, which is a racist stereotype most closely associated with black people, and low impulse control, which feeds into the racist narrative that black people are more primitive.

Also, white supremacists typically have a hierarchy of hate, and black people are usually at the top of it. In other words, white supremacists hate all non-white races, but they still have priorities.

Anyway, this guy sucks.

He’s a white supremacist. He means black people. Note the bold.

In October of that year, he responded to a video of people in a neighborhood in Atlanta, saying: “When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”

“Where do these population reduction conspiracies come from? All I see is trash multiplying,” he wrote in January 2023.

In May of that year, Beattie wrote on X that “It’s not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties—they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society. Instead of anarcho-tyranny, we need Singapore for the dumb and violent, and Sweden for the more elevated.”

A bunch of rich 80-year-olds should not be running our country. It’s why the response to Trump has been so anemic: they’re too comfortable and they can’t be bothered.

In other words, it cannot be exclusively one narrow demographic. That’s not ageism; that’s just common sense.
