It says fits head sizes from small to extra large, but I’ve been let down by “XL” headphones before. The dimensions don’t really tell you much, because they flex and extend to fit your head. The question is, what is the maximum sustainable distance between the ears?
I was thinking the commodore.
How about the death threats she was responsible for via the Family America Project? Or when she wrote fake news stories about conspiracy theories with evidence she fabricated?
I’m not happy the face eating leopards are powerful enough to ruin her life, but I’m not going to go out of my way to protect her from the monsters she helped create.
Agree 100%. It’s naked hypocrisy.
So is Matthew Lillard. The whole thing feels oddly personal. Like if he had said “I didn’t like Dano in There Will Be Blood” you could understand that’s just a professional opinion. Maybe he thought someone else could have done better. But making it insulting undercuts his credibility as an impartial critic.
Maybe this time we try literally any cohesive attack strategy? Like instead of just silently gesturing broadly at everything, hoping voters will be inherently riled up about the audacity of conservative fascism.
You just solved a 20 year old mystery that I didn’t even realize I was curious about. It was super weird, because these were relatively progressive, educated adults, and the audacity of the bigotry just sort of left me confused. This helps me understand a little bit better.
We should use every tool at our disposal. We should be irrationally unyielding and exhaustive in our efforts for progress. Leave no avenue untapped.
Everything
I don’t know.
It was in a jam
Push it down a hill.
It’s difficult to take a review seriously when the author crafts a sentence thusly:
Barclay is a low-level clerk with Unit who, through the kind of bureaucratic snafu that you may in your salad days have believed was confined to fictional romps aimed largely at children over the festive period until age and experience poured slugs into them, ends up being part of the operation sent to deal with the discovery by a group of Spanish fishers of – well, fishmen. Fishfolk.
I’m so fucking tired of the cynical voice in my head being right all the time. I read this headline and immediately thought of Arthur Dent face down in the mud in front of a bulldozer.
My European cousins tried to explain to me that it was weird how no Jewish people died in the twin towers on 9/11, like they had all been warned. I had to patiently explain that I had friends who died in 9/11, some were Jewish, and that whatever his source was, it was likely nazi propaganda, and extremely disrespectful to repeat obvious bullshit.
On the one hand, yeah maybe he was operating as a propaganda agent for Iran. But they deleted his whole account, his email, his drive contents, and every video he uploaded. His life’s work nuked from orbit.
You can’t swing a dead cat on YouTube without hitting 1200 different propaganda agents working for various political wings. When was the last time Google obliterated a joirnalist from Newsmax or Xinhua?
Criticism is fine, when you’re talking about someone’s work and how to improve it. Calling someone “weak” and “the worst actor in the SAG” is deeply personal and insulting.
Revealing a personal bias in a professional setting belies unprofessional attitudes and prejudices. Tarantino isn’t a critic, he’s a filmmaker and an influential voice in the industry. Taking pot shots at a couple of B-list character actors is hurtful on a personal level, and wantonly destructive on a professional level. The power dynamic between producers and actors is massively unbalanced. It would be like the CEO where you work talking shit on LinkedIn about project managers at a rival company. If he’s saying this publicly, what is he saying behind the scenes? Is he trashing actors to casting directors to influence their careers?
He has every right to say “I don’t want these people in my movies.” It would also be professional to say “I did not like this specific performance for these specific reasons.” It’s extremely unprofessional to say “I hate these people because of who they are and anyone working with them is on my shit-list.”
He also took some totally unnecessary shots at Paul Dano, saying he was the worst actor in the SAG. That’s a bizarrely personal attack out of nowhere on a guy you never worked with.
Good. The Penguin was great, but it was great because it was well crafted. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, it was experts given the tools to do something great. Gotham is a fantastic setting, and the sheer number of worthwhile characters makes anything they do potentially fascinating.
It is entirely possible for a person to be on the right side of one issue and the wrong side of another issue. We support positions, but we elect politicians. Those politicians are not always going to be on our side, and in fact they rarely are.
Gavin Newsom is not on our side. I do not want to vote for him, because I believe we have better options.
But he is better than any Republican. Newsom is not openly racist, defending pedophiles, attempting to murder foreigners, or trying to end civil rights. He and I disagree on economic policy, but if his name is on the ballot across from a fascist, then I’ll accept the lesser of two evils.
Still, let’s not pick him as the nominee for president. He’s not the guy we’d like him to be. Newsom is an oligarch, but at least he isn’t a Republican. Governing is the slow boring of hard boards, and sometimes progress is merely reducing the harm.
Yet another reason to stop using Meta.
