Are they still playing apologetics for the cops? Because if so, no thanks.

501·1 year agoI wonder how much Putin paid for Elon. I can’t help but imagine it was as little as a scratch behind the ear and telling him that “he’s a good boy, yes he is! Yes he is!”
Dumpster brand trash bins are top of the line! This is a TrashCo waste disposal unit.

I’m sorry, but WTF? I don’t know how you look at feminism with any kind of understanding and walk away with that impression.
The fact that, as men, we’ve collectively ignored feminism’s every attempt to help us, while whining that women are helping themselves and each other, doesn’t mean that feminism has left us behind. It means we’ve refused help and to help ourselves.
We did!

The Royal Canadian Mint even has a Memory Alpha entry: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mint
Yeah. I admit, I didn’t look closely, and didn’t realize it was all spin from union brass. It sounded like a labour win. Maybe I was just too excited to hear of it.
This is unfortunate. Hopefully the employees balk at the contract and hit the streets. I’m sure the bluster was coming in the face of the threat of back-to-work orders from government, but if levied, the striking workers need to stand up to government.
Not that I expect that they will. If it’s anything like here, they’ll be back to work within hours of BtW legislation/exec orders.
Yeah. “We spent some money on something we assessed and determined to be a sure thing” is what they call risk. Meanwhile, opportunity costs for actors are never considered a valid concern. The risk of taking a bad gig over one that turns into a long term job exists for every everyone in the industry, and they’re not insured against lost income from taking the wrong job.
Meanwhile, studios never fail to consider the opportunity costs in finding projects. Are you profitable, but the studio thinks something else would be more profitable? Well, better hope there’s a project that’s actively losing money that they can cancel, or else you’ll be on the chopping block.
My guess is either they don’t have the funding to spit out a full 24 minutes anymore, and they never figured out how to write for shorter, or the lack of commercial breaks aren’t forcing them to hit certain milestones in the episode. But I really don’t know.
The self-referential aspect of the episode was a bit much, but I was actually buoyed by the episode on the whole. The content was kind of meh, but the tone was right. The Comedy Central episodes always seemed to suffer from tonal issues.
Now, the pacing felt a bit weird in this one, but I feel like a lot of TV is weirdly and poorly paced now.

I know it’s a movie. I’m not confused by the source.
I’m confused by the ending of the first movie and the number 2.
But he’s also operating at some of the highest levels of privilege, wealth, fame, and adoration. And that’s not enough for him…?
He’s talking about the Academy Awards. You know, little gold statues for being famous enough at playing make believe to be noticed, and and good enough at it to be considered as one of the best of the well known.
If there’s anything the rich, privileged actors can publicly whinge about, it’s probably this.
Oh, it sounds like that’s not the issue. It’s that they’re using clips from the movie featuring the backpack in anoyher backpack company’s commercials.
This isn’t “you used our product without permission”, but “you’re using our product to directly market a competing product”.
Huh. Gladiator 2.
How… How are they supposed to make that work? Is it going to be like the Final Fantasy games? Or is it more of a God of War type thing?
They’re not using it for free, though. If I have a Netflix account with multiple profiles, I’m paying for that. I don’t see why I don’t get to determine who get to use those profiles.
Particularly after Netflix’s own marketing department pushed out that “Love is sharing a password” tweet.
If they wanted to bump the price of multi-profile accounts, fine, but this accusing your customers of wrongdoing for doing something you yourself promoted is bullshit.

A Chicken Run sequel, you say? Well, I know what I’m doing this December!
This is coming in the wake of protests against pension reform being rammed through and riots over police killing kids.
There’s zero reason to believe “being exploited by bad actors” isn’t the point.
This.
“Someone else has it worse” is the cry of someone who wants you to have it worse, too. It’s just promoting a race to the bottom.
Considering how frequently studied aspertame has been, the odds increase had to be pretty small by this point.
Here’s a google prompt for you: “raspberry pi police”
