I made a lot of videos about the pandemic. I think this is the best one. It captures the insanity really well.

Russell Crowe pushed back against "Gladiator" sex scene: "It doesn't make any sense."

“There was a lot of pressure to bow to a desire that the studio and one of the producers had at the time that there should be sex scenes between Maximus and the female characters. And I just kept pushing back.

I said ‘This is the story about a man who's avenging the death of his wife and his child. There cannot be a moment on that journey where he stops and has sex with somebody. It doesn’t make any sense because then that destroys the journey.’

They fought me, and they sent me letters about it and everything, and I just stuck to my guns. Luckily for me, he agreed with me back then that that was the moral core of the film.

For them, in a second movie to destroy that moral center… it’s very interesting, because the second movie barely took the same box office that the first movie took.

They failed. And they failed because they didn’t understand why [the original movie] was successful. It was successful because it had a moral core.”

Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:

‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.

“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.

There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.

At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.

We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.

And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

@bosschick1078 @Eliz_Hightower @MattWalshBlog it happens all the time

You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.

@rushkatipo @UnwokeMe @McJuggerNuggets The child is already alive you dope. There’s nothing more negatively life altering than being murdered.

@oshane @McJuggerNuggets what a sick dude

[Future Pending @kmalkows]

@McJuggerNuggets The doctors said the same thing about my niece. They basically guaranteed she would have down syndrome. Her parents didn’t care and she ended up being perfectly healthy, no down syndrome. You just killed your own child.
