Like Harris the establishment and consultant class will turn around and blame the people they threw under the bus for the loss. We're too weak and small to listen to, but big strong enough to blame for all their failures. An enemy that is weak and strong, where have I heard that one?

He became a nationally syndicated columnist at 17 in 2001, 16 years before his novel flopped. He figured he could spin his effortless "success" into other fields but forgot he only got that job because of his parents connections and wealthy conservatives desperate to sell conservatism to teens.

Really funny to see the "As a Centrist, I'm Always Right" mentality at play here too. "This poll that says 80% of the party wants to see the entirely centrist leadership of the party replaced proves Leftists are wrong to want fewer centrists in leadership." Does it really Natalie?

Or that it took so long between the Olympics ruling trans women could compete and one actually competing (not even winning, competing) that there are cis women who were born, grew up and won gold in between. At that rate there would be a whole 4 trans women at the 2100 Olympics.

"My partner and I saw you from across the galaxy and we like the vibe of your space faring civilization."

They do it because they know they can get away with it. That no matter how bad it looks, most people will never actually see the story and many who do will have forgotten by the time they release their next film... Hell, probably before this one even hits streaming. There are no consequences.

It's "Real American" style racism applied at the state level. She is white, so she belongs. He is not, so he does not. It's the same way Trump, a third generation immigrant, is more of a "Real American" than Obama who can trace his American roots on mother's side of the family back 150+ years.

Looks like he bought it on launch, and the launch discount was -30%. So 20 hours per dollar.

No way GLAAD isn't getting less from this than the transphobe. She is pretty notorious for demanding a high cut of merchandising.

Usually it's the author who can't read something without internalizing it as their own original idea who is being accused of plagiarism. I can't imagine going to court with "I have no idea what I wrote and assume everything I read is my idea."

Yeah. Much like in 2018 when they decided they would blacklist anyone who primaried Dem incumbent, and then quietly repealed that rule in 2020 when a centrist Kennedy decided he'd be better in Markey's seat. The rules as written don't matter, the rule as intended is "no moving left."

Part of what made her a billionaire is she demands a steep cut from merchandising. She is definitely getting more than GLAAD.

Losing their mind over minor changes that affect absolutely no one but are spun as an attack on their "heritage" is part of fascism.

I mean you'd also think they'd be in a precarious position after he had GROK modified to make it easier to generate CSAM and then responded to the wave of CSAM not by reversing the decision but instead putting the CSAM machine behind a paywall.

Part of which is down to Disney demanding the utmost secrecy for productions, to the point where the writers for WandaVision weren't allowed to talk to the writers for Dr. Strange 2. How can you pay off a setup if you only have a vague, executive approved description of what you're paying off?

One of the things that has actively pushed me away from the MCU is how everything feels like so much of it only exists to set up another movie. There is never a satisfying payoff because the next movie has to jump right to setting up something else.

You accidentally missed an Obama there, but yeah that was and is pretty disgusting. Still a fair number of centrists holding that up as an example of "good" Republicans but nah, his attempt to deflect bigotry was to validate the same bigotry. He had 10 years to set the record straight and didn't.

Cuomo volunteered to do legal defence for Netenyahu at the ICC and no one ever questioned if Palestinian New Yorkers would feel safe with a Mayor who believes it isn't a crime to murder them in cold blood.

Don't forget the time she backed a SLAPP suit in Germany. A German TERF was denying Nazi crimes against trans people, was accused of doing so and tried to sue to silence her critics. She lost, the court found she was denying Nazi crimes, and Rowling called it a "dark day for free speech."

Meanwhile Bluesky gave a pass to clearly automated and unverified lists (thousands upon thousands off accounts) that called people who dislike AI "Bigots" and accuses them of using "slurs." Instead of removing them a Bsky team member subscribed and in turn effectively broke some popular feeds.
