This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.
Lowkey if you consider yourself politically active at all you should not be buying this game and should be outwardly condemning how this company is union busting and invading people’s privacy. Fuck Rockstar
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
love how companies are trying to occupy the superposition of “ai is so cool and widely accepted it’s the new norm get used to it” and “oh fuck they caught us using ai hide it make sure no one knows nobody must be allowed to see our shame”
side-note: it's so crazy to me that all the misogynist freaks made a big thing out of ursula being better than mj for years, then i finally watch this movie and she's just a kind friend who is rooting for peter and mj to work out lol
X-men 97 desperately needs hour long episodes and 13 episodes per season because there's no way this finale was gonna be satisfying with how badly they crammed the second half of the season lmao
