Someone says "the north" and I can say "the North" like they would in Game of Thrones which is of course a UK way of saying it and if someone says "the south" I am going to have to say "the South" in a southern accent but it won't be as funny but then east and west are not funny

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago.
Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

Hollywood studio executives are sweating over Warner Bros.’ unusual rights agreement with Ryan Coogler for ‘Sinners,’ with some saying it ‘could end the studio system.’

anyone who's ever run a community above a certain size can tell you that you either ban like 20 assholes or lose 20,000 normal people. allowing 'different voices' is a losing strategy.
Why, yes. Yes it does.

this is essentially, what's up
The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

i think something democrats need to understand is that starting with the 2008 election, every presidential winner has more convincingly promised change from the status quo more than their opponent

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
“Disrupt” is a very Silicon Valley word. Every time I see it crop up in a business-case, my bullshit-detection hackles go up.
