“data centers can give communities valuable tax revenue”
sorry, I watch sports, I know the “billionaires get the infrastructure built first, then blackmail local governments for tax breaks by threatening to relocate and leave them with a huge waste of public funds” playbook
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.
@LiquidHbox 1.) no
2.) the dissonance in the final product between “accessible” with no motions while filled to the brim with nice mechanics that scared new players was not good
3.) the title being so bad probably is half the reason it failed
4.) league has terrible pr
@CONEY Me and my friends who have played tag fighters for a decade wouldn’t touch it because of the league branding . Idk how common that sentiment is though
can’t stand Hollywood’s reliance on franchises and IP but i think these “sequels to those terrible kids’ sitcoms where the tone is exactly the same and the target audience is stunted adults” are the most sickening lol
