Unbelievably disappointing. Was looking forward to Ali as the new Blade. Also worth mentioning that cancelling an Emmy nominatied show with a Black lead at roughly the same time is not a good look.
DiscussingFilmMahershala Ali says he will no longer star as Blade. He trained for a year to prepare for ‘Blade’ so he used the sword training for his next action film ‘Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother’. (Source: www.gq.com/story/mahers...)

This is how I feel about KPop. I actively reject it because it is specifically manufactured tripe designed to appeal to the most global markets for maximum revenue. It is the antithesis of art. And the industry basically flat out told us that was the goal. "The Hallyu Wave". They wanted US money.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is garbage and he does not "own the song now."

I blame Apple for a lot of this. They were the first company I really loathed for telling us what we wanted instead of listening to consumers. They paved the way for a lot of other companies to follow and tell us we want these things we in fact do not want.

I often think this about a lot of things. I wonder if there was a point where we were just too close to solving a lot of problems so we — as a collective — just started creating more problems for ourselves because why not? Maybe we were bored? Was life not hard enough?
Chris KluweLike, what problem is this meant to solve? Are maps *too* accurate?
I'm so glad we threw the @ndp.ca into a meat grinder so that @mark-carney.bsky.social could take meetings with fucking fascists. What's that parable about Nazi bars?
Rachel GilmoreDays after Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke publicly supported the idea that pensioners and the poor should lose their right to vote — and the wealthy should have extra votes — Elon Musk called him a "national treasure." But that's not all. Lutke also has the ear of Canada's prime minister. Here's proof:
I'm absolutely positive the people at Postmedia had to look up the definition of "standards" before typing that reply.
Luke LeBrunReceived this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct
My experiences in the comic and acting industries were vastly different. The least supportive, most cutthroat were within the industries. Most of the friendlier, supportive people have always been outside, on the peripherals. Probably why I didn't "make it" in either; I wasn't cutthroat enough.
Johanna T 👻 🧙All this to say: if you make friends in comics (or any entertainment industry) for the sole purpose of using that friendship to leverage yourself into gigs or projects, people will clock that insincerity FAST. It’s a small industry, and people talk.

I've said this before: I think we made a mistake not photographing the bodies. When the Allies documented the Holocaust, they were ordered to document EVERYTHING because they knew people would try to deny it. And look where we are today. We should have done the same with COVID.

Yeah, this is a major problem. I'm working for a business that's looking to open a new store and my boss is 100% on using Shopify because there's literally nothing else remotely close to competitive with the level of integration they have. There is huge downside for a business to not use Shopify.
Ryan RobinsonThe problem as I understand it (not a small business owner) is that there aren't a lot of other options that are remotely as good, and it costs a lot to have your own in-house developer to make something custom and assume all the security risks that come with payment processing.
Fascists still together. That's how we know they're all worthless.
Rachel Gilmorelol, annnnnnnd there's the nail in the coffin, if there was still any doubt:
My uncle believes this grand conspiracy theory that Carney has his money invested in Trump banks & projects and therefore is indebted to him. I just think Carney is another right-wing rich guy making choices to make him more money at the expense of the peons. Sometimes both theories look correct.
Blayne HaggartImagine the money Carney could save if he simply bit the bullet, shuttered Parliament and outsourced every single policy decision to Trump and his cronies. It's redundant to have a supposedly independent Parliament that's simply going to be overruled by Trump's viceroy if it steps out of line.
Great story if you ever wanted to know what clouds taste like. I went to the top of the Empire State Building many times when I was living in NYC. One of my favourite places to go to. But I'm mad it never occurred to me to go when it was overcast.
Adam P KnaveSomeone asked how I would know they're flavorless. And I have an answer! Growing up in NY one thing you do is touristy stuff at weird times. I would often, when I was younger, go up to the 72nd observation deck of the ESB at night, when it was cloudy, BECAUSE it was...
I had completely forgotten about these super cringe ads until I watched the World Cup on TSN and when one came on I was like: "Jesus Christ, how did I ever tolerate these before?" Then I switched over to Telemundo and never went back to the English channels.

AH-HAHAHA! Ontario government: "I didn't get what I wanted, so you peons won't get what you wanted! Nyah Nyah!" I cannot stress enough that Ontarians absolutely deserve this. Serves us right for voting for this government four times.
