Mark Cuban may well have once been a well meaning person, I have no idea, but the simple fact is that being a billionaire makes you stupid and evil. There is no avoiding this. That amount of money empties out your head and soul. The only cure is to not be a billionaire anymore.

In the face of overwhelming evil inflicted by MAGA Christianity, it feels inappropriate to drop some sentimental reflection. I'll just say this.

Think of how many TV shows they could have funded with that money, and not only that but also how much more revenue all those shows would brought in for the company. But instead they just gave it to the worst employee of the entire corporation. The literal reason the company is being bought out.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Thinking about how when I watched Iron Blood Orphans for the first time I told my friend how I didn't like it because they were "basically child soldiers". He looked at me dumbfounded and said "that's literally almost every Gundam series". Which really opened my eyes.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins
