CNN has shifted to the right since their acquisition. I used to be ok with it but the quality of discourse, which wasn’t amazing in the first place, has declined to the point where it’s pretty unwatchable.

For example, Kaitlin Collins is a competent journalist, but she’s clearly been given a bigger role to appeal to right-wing viewers. Her background was the Daily Caller, I believe. Hardly a reputable institution, and I do question the integrity of someone who would work there in the first place. And she’s still one of the better ones.

They’re running an absolute clinic on how to tank a brand.

Isn’t it funny how the public servant basically manifested the home for her because she probably has a great lawsuit now?

The seats are haptic too. It takes forever to render the graphics apparently so maybe that’s why - not playback but rendering. Apparently After Effects will only go up to 12k?

I’m not super technical but I have been to the Sphere. It’s awesome.

There’s a good HBO series about this called 100 Foot Wave.

There’s definitely a racist subtext:

1. Imagine the Queen criticizing Kate for being “flamboyant.” This word echoes negative racist stereotypes disseminated by white culture of how Black women act and dress. Now to be clear there is nothing flamboyant about this dress and when compared with Kate both dresses are large and grandiose. It’s not just that she’s not “virginal” it’s the “in your face”-ness about it that the Queen has commented on. What did Megan do differently than any other Royal bride on her wedding day to stand out except be black?
2. it is possible that the dress appears to be whiter because Megan’s skin is darker, which is also subtly racist. Black women need to be relegated to a different shade of white when they’re divorced now? Come on.
3. Camilla the divorcee wore white on her wedding day to Divorced Charles the 3rd. She just had an ugly - and I might say quite flamboyant - overcoat over it.

I LOVE this.

My question is: What’s in giving these interviews and making these statements for him? He’s exited the role, he’s made himself clear about the stance he took when he was in the role. Why continue to talk?

When I leave a job and go somewhere new I’m not obsessed with dragging my old workplace.

It’s an assumption that intelligent life unknown to us is space faring.

Oh sorry I thought we were buying quality products for life in this community, how silly of me.

It’s insulated VERY well - that is one of the brand’s specialties.

What about a Zojirushi electric hot water boiler? Hot water every day on demand!

This is the one we have had since 2020 and we love it. 2 more friends have bought it based on our recommendation.

Maybe it’s Hugo ???

To be fair there are lots of movies that don’t deserve Best Picture and win anyway. Years ago, I couldn’t understand Slumdog Millionaire’s win. Love the Coen Bros., but clearly There Will Be Blood was the superior film over No Country, in my opinion.

My guy it is literally pinned.

The best anagram is Sunk Mole

People are allowed to disagree with a film.

We do have joy this whole thing just wears thin. And, actually, other people don’t get to tell me what brings me joy.

I think gore as well. Things can be nsfw but also not gore.

I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith. There were more countries involved in WW2 than Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union but, as I said, I’m not an expert and I don’t expect people to be.

It was a mistake on the part of the speaker, he owned it, and then the government apologized. Case closed. Don’t be a partisan hack.
