New media isn't conventionally left or right, but the most popular versions tend to lean republican.
The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers
The total media dominance in print, tv and web news and the monoculture turned everyone even mildly dissenting to alternative pastures. And there was demand for right wing content and the market delivered.

I don’t think there was any significant damage.
Sending a "We can get you" message does quite a bit of damage on morale and the government image.

Also why would you assume blue sky wouldn’t be an echo chamber
It won't be echo chamber, it will be the singularity in a black hole. The circular firing squads already started.

at risk of Russia going after NATO, and until the last Ukrainian dies in a foxhole
Russia will go after nato with what economy and military industrial complex?

Anyone into knife sharpening? Especially with diy jigs/systems? Looking for something that can utilize an already sizable collection of full size whetstones, and not the tiny ones that Edge pro apex 4 uses.

I was joking couple of months ago that when guys need therapy they need to do with their best friend two hours of hiking, two hours of lifting, two porterhouse steaks and two bottles of bourbon.

What is the obsession of Americans (and unfortunately younger Gen Zs in Europe too) with therapy?
Anyway my opinion is - LLM delivered quackery will be as efficient as the human one. But at least will be substantially cheaper.

The penguin was amazing show. Too long since we had a proper protagonist that was flat out irredeemable.

Honestly I just want to see in what kind of circular firing squad Bluesky will eventually turn out to be. I do hope that X will have some competition, but not exactly bullish on that.

Obviously overpaid. Marissa Mayer ruined Yahoo for 239 million dollars, I would have gladly ruined it for 150 million. And there are people that would run it into the ground for a million and some for free.
No, but "if you were able to drive sober airbags wouldn't be a top issue" still works as a non nonsensical retort.
If you remove the reckless drivers from the road the value of car safety features goes down substantially

The art style of half life 2 is just a normal eastern european "bedroom community" full of brezhnevkas and other types of panel buildings.

It's also performative because most of these ladies are not actually going to swear off men, because they like sex, attention, and validation.
One of the snarkiest and meanest comments under a "I am going 4B" post was - "If you were capable of keeping your legs closed, abortion would not be your top 1 issue", so it doesn't seem that people are bullish on 4B taking traction in the US. I guess you need a whole generation to pass for a culture that values promiscuity less to emerge.

Conspicuously missing from the article is how many korean women do participate in that movement.

The shoe can be on the other foot for a while.
Wouldn't mind it really, but there are feet on which said shoes will fit better than this Cinderella. When it comes to list of celebrities whose struggle sessions I would enjoy to watch her name is not on the first 100 pages of it.

Rachel Zegler whose previous contribution to Disney fortunes consisted of
“There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn’t do that this time. We have a different approach to what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie. All of Andrew’s scenes could get cut, who knows? It’s Hollywood, baby!” -Rachel Zegler
“We absolutely wrote a Snow White that- she’s not gonna be saved by the prince and she’s not gonna be dreaming about true love, she’s dreaming about the leader she knows she can be and the leader her late father told her she can be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true.” -
and is the lead of the live action remake of Snow White was forced to apologize. The apology reads as
“Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotion for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow.”
First the good part - it is not a non-apology, there even may be some form of sincerity underneath all the PR polish
The not so good - the thoughtcrime she had to apologize for was posting on her instagram:
“May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.”
(There may have been a fuck donald trump also, but I didn't find reliable screenshot)
and Megyn Kelly with all her classiness and being more than 2 times older than Zegler articulated her displeasure as "Hello, Disney, you’re going to have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig, and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense "
Couple of observations - first - relative to her demographic cohort the reaction towards Trump and his supporters is unbelievably tame. It is somewhere around 3/10 on the TDS scale. So I don't think that apology is even warranted. Every reasonable person knows that emotions will be high for a while. Second - the culture winds are shifting, so it seems that moneyed people realize that Trump 2.0 being parts of the Resistance unlike the first term won't be free - so I expect the celebrities to be held on tighter leashes in the next couple of years especially when we are in the age of huge flops. Third - you can take a blond hottie out of fox news, but you can never take fox news out of her. Fourth - it seems that the girlboss tropes are on the way out. Also her trying to girlboss snow white is much bigger "crime" than a passionate sincere disappointment over an election.
I expect a lot of people on the left to get in hot water because they are used to cost free activism since 2012 and for a lot this is their whole political life.
How do you think Hollywood will react to the new vibes?

You owe nothing. It is a trivial act of kindness. But if you are multibillionaire then buying a house, putting their kids trough college and a modest trust fund is also trivial act of kindness. Of course depending on the situation and their financial conditions the exact needs will be different - but that is the order of magnitude I will be aiming.
But to make things more fun - what will you do if Elon Musk or Peter Thiel lend you the charger - someone that already has fuck you money?

It's coordinated. Chances of turning into echo chamber > 90%. Normies there - maybe.

I don't think that Slipknot and Linkin Park should be classified as nu metal. Slipknot were way too extreme and Linkin Park are just pop. But it seems that the nu metal definition has moved to - being big in the late 90s.

And I find myself constantly disappointed that they keep finding a way to get in a reddit-y snark along the lines of "Men, Amirite?" I try to be non-argumentative in this context, but I increasingly have the urge to go meta-therapist and say something like "I feel like there's a lot of implicit hostility in that statement.
That is your problem. The correct tactic is to double down/be provocative. The same way if a woman meets your gaze while you look at her deep deep cleavage, you shouldn't turn eyes away but smile.

Some ultra liberal women decided to make the korean 4B movement happen after Trump won. A substantial part of them are not lookers and probably not women that the majority of men would put on the top of the fuckability pyramid anyway - hence the orks, also one of the safest assumptions you can make about the people that do this type of grand gesturing is that they are complete narcissists - so refusing to take them seriously is going to drive them nuts.
Some riff on Tzatziki is the best - semi-strained yoghurt, plenty of lemon juice, garlic and dill, salt to taste. You look for naturally lactofermented yoghurts, with nothing added, on the tangier side.
