    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    If they haven't started tracking down and murdering Dominion employees (never the wealthy shareholders or CEO, obviously) already, what makes you think an official ruling in their favor would have changed that? Or is it more that you think they did this to protect innocent people from having to...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Not really? They chose less money over justice plus more money. Which makes completely zero sense to me, but if there weren't a valid reason to do it, no one would ever settle a case they know they can win—and yet people do all the time.

    Max announces new Harry Potter tv series. Faithful to the books, Ten year project, Game of Thrones level production.

    Oh yeah, that's the other thing. Warner Bros. is behind this. The company that: Forced The Hobbit to be three movies instead of two and crammed with extra references to Lord of the Rings, missing the point and ruining yet another promising Martin Freeman vehicle Tried to adapt A Song of Ice and...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Wow, so Twitter was hopping on a briefly-profitable but also widely-reviled trend in a way that wasn't even making them any money??? Yeah, I'm starting to see why the company was in such bad shape financially that they were desperate to sell themselves off.

    You know what I realized I haven't heard about in a long time? Those hexagonal NFT avatars. They were introduced before Elon took over, people made a big stink about them at the time, and then everyone just kind of forgot about them. Do they still exist? Has Elon made any attempts to get people...

    Max announces new Harry Potter tv series. Faithful to the books, Ten year project, Game of Thrones level production.

    Oh, and with Rowling being such poison at this point, good luck getting the finest minds in Hollywood on board to work on this. I predict that they're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel and the results will reflect that. And that goes for what happens behind the scenes as well as on...

    Max announces new Harry Potter tv series. Faithful to the books, Ten year project, Game of Thrones level production.

    It's been so long since I cracked any of those books that I don't even remember what the movies left out that might be worth retaining—aside from the detail of James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius being the ones who created the Marauder's Map. I can, however, think of two things the movies left out...

    If you've been relying on Twitter to get weather alerts of all things, something is very wrong with the world.

    The Last of Us - Part 1

    Regarding Bill and Frank: big oof there, both for the reason you're describing, and because Bill's arc was one of my favorite parts of the game. I might have already gone through this in the thread we had on the old forum so apologies if I'm repeating myself. This is a zombie survival game. And...

    It's the Muppet Thread

    Well hey, now seems like the perfect time to post this: If the series is successful, maybe Disney will take the revived interest in the brand to do exactly that.

    The Last of Us - Part 1

    I'm still not on board with DRM- and platform-locked digital media, but I'm glad they're making it available to "purchase" in some form rather than keeping it exclusive to their streaming platform (until such time as it gets delisted and becomes exclusive to nowhere, just like all the Cartoon...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    As a content creator, I would definitely say Jack Black is overrated. But as an actor, I have yet to see him in anything where he wasn't perfect for the role. Whether that's on him or the people doing the casting, I couldn't say.

    Gun Culture

    And remember, the NRA has repeatedly sponsored gun control bills that were drafted in response to white people's fears that their non-white neighbors were starting to exercise their second amendment rights.

    He's just following the crowd. Alphabet, Meta... changing your company's name in the hopes that it'll magically erase all your problems is just what you do if you're a tech bro.

    Wait, he's seriously just calling it "X Corp"? Are you allowed to name a company just a single letter, especially one that's frequently used as a generic placeholder?

    P&R Funnies!

    Bit of an odd detail to include; I guess we're supposed to infer that the force had been beefed up in the hopes of defending the Shire from Sauron's advancing hordes? There's probably something to be learned from that too, in these times.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    If I were aiming to write a character who's a cartoonish caricature of a white southern racist, "Harlan Crow" would absolutely be on the list of names that get crossed off for being too obvious.
