I don't think we should be rooting for Disney, even if in this case they're the lesser of the two evils(?) It honestly just continues the stupid culture war bullshit. Who gives a gently caress. Just gives all this crap more attention. They going to get mad at Intel next? Staples? Panera Bread?

I can't even remember which one liberals were mad at like from 2 days ago. I think some CEO said something lovely, and then there was a boycott hashtag.

All megacorps are bad but I'll go to bat for Disney because they're far from the worst. They're fairly socially progressive even if a lot of it is reactive rather than proactive, and they treat their employees pretty ok. There's a reason their customer service and everyday experience is the gold standard for entertainment companies. And don't come at me for defending a huge company or whetever-- there's still a lot of evil poo poo they do purely because of their size, but for the most part they at least try to stay on the right side of history.

The CEO you're referring to is Bob Chapek. He took over from Bob Iger shortly before the Covid pandemic took hold, but even before then he was widely disliked both internally and by the public as a cold money-focused ghoul. In many people's view, he's cheapened the park experience while raising prices and made a bunch of dumb decisions unrelated to Covid.

People aren't mad because he said something lovely. People are mad because he's a feckless coward who's done the right thing but far too late. He/Disney made a halfassed attempt to condemn DeSantis's homophobe legislation well after it had been passed. Then Pixar and other subsidiaries started insulting Disney for not doing enough. Then Chapek claimed he'd called Desantis and had planned for Disney execs to have a full in-person conference with him. DeSantis then made him look like a loving clown by coming out and saying Chapek called and groveled but no meeting had ever been scheduled.

Then word got out that Disney had donated to every single supporter of the anti-gay bill (because they donate to pretty much everyone in FL government to keep them happy), and Disney announced they were pulling ALL donations, even to liberals, which pissed people off more. Last week they released a more sternly worded statement against the legislation, but Desantis knows he's got Chapek by the balls so he signed it into law and started publicly dunking on Disney.

Sorry for the wall of text. It's a pretty funny slapfight but Disney is clearly on the right side despite being weak and lame about it, which is pretty much the story of IRL fascists vs. preogressives in America.

The thing that I can't remember was definitely not Bob Chapek/Disney related. This was some other guy/company because it was some #Boycott<Company> that was not Disney.

The more worrying aspect of Disney is not that they're lovely/not lovely. It's the fact that they control so much of our consumed media. Like chuds getting mad at Disney is funny but also I'm not sure how carefree I would be in saying, "They're so big they won't care what chuds think!" because eventually they may figure out that they don't care what LGBTQ+ people think because they're so big people will buy their stuff regardless of their political donations/actions.

Anyways it is funny that chuds think they're affecting Disney's stock or can do a boycott of them. But I also worry about it too, just not because of what they're whining about. And they're the ones who created this mess by giving corporations so much power. But also yeah this part:

https://thehill.com/news/campaign/3255653-tillis-endorses-cawthorns-primary-challenger/

quote:

Tillis appeared to reference the controversial remarks in his endorsement of Edwards, writing that the state senator will “never embarrass Western North Carolina with a consistent pattern of juvenile behavior, outlandish statements, and untruthfulness.”

“Chuck Edwards has demonstrated he serves with honor and integrity, and he always makes conservatives proud,” he added.

Cawthorn also made headlines this month when he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” and said the country’s government was “evil” in a video obtained by North Carolina affiliate WRAL. The report came during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though it is unclear when the video was recorded.

quote:

Tillis on Thursday said Edwards will “never attack Ukraine’s fight for freedom or vote against sanctioning Putin’s Russia and find himself being used as propaganda on Russian state television.”

“Chuck Edwards has proven he’s a hardworking conservative leader who delivers conservative results. He’ll never give up on his day job in search of celebrity status in Washington, D.C., with no record of results to speak of,” he added.

The article says they blockaded the entrance and livestreamed it and the charges are for that, there's no mention that she stole the fetuses while they were there (and kept them for 2 years?).

It actually doesn't say where they came from, so they could have been stolen from there, or could have come from somewhere else. There aren't any charges related to that.

Reminder that Elton John was shown on camera sitting next to Putin at the F1 in a HIDEOUS adidas tracksuit long after all the gay laws came in in Russia, refused to stop performing there, because he didn't want to not perform there basically, then got really mad in 2019 when the Russians censored 5 minutes of rocket man.

Trying not to get too excited about this though, since

1) the dumbfuck low-information hayseeds gerrymandered around the incredibly liberal Asheville still think Cauthon is their guy

quote:

The polling, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies between March 10 and March 13, found that Cawthorn leads Edward 52 percent to 20 percent, with 11 percent of the vote going to one of the other six GOP candidates in the race. Seventeen percent of those polled said they remain undecided.

The poll, which surveyed 300 likely Republican primary voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.66 percentage points.


Cawthorn needs to surpass 30 percent of the primary vote to secure his party’s nomination, which he easily has in the Edwards polling memo, but the Republican pollster who wrote the report is questioning the incumbent’s current standing in the race.

The pollster, Glen Bolger, cautioned that the congressman is in worse shape compared to others incumbents.

“Cawthorn is right on the bubble of the 50% mark; incumbents who slip below that during the campaign are in danger,” Bolger wrote in the memo.

2) This Edward guy is probably just as bad but not as loudmouthed, rapey, and brick loving stupid as Cawtron.
