Space Opera posted:There's also a rising trend of things called mini-rooms where studios hire a small handful of writers for maybe a month or two to smash out a rough draft, then fire everyone but the show runner who then finishes the script. Having to job hunt every two months isn't a secure way to make a living. The other thing is that once people catch on to what you're doing you might find it hard to find people willing to work for you. Super short-term thinking, but par for the course.

"Stick to what's real and possible" is the kind of poo poo that was being fed to us back in 2008 shortly after Obama won on his huge Hope and Change platform and proceeded to ditch it in favor of "well, it's the best we can do" centrism. Sorry, single payer, maybe you'll enjoy this regurgitated literally-from-a-Republican version. We just don't have the votes. Please ignore the supermajority and the fact that we could have just ended the filibuster. At what point does it finally get to be too much? At what point do you stop going "duh, just vote harder so they have more power" and look at the real and actual harm going on across the nation's red states. Voting rights are being eroded, trans and queer people are having laws passed that basically outlaw them from existing. Actual people are having to flee Texas and Florida because of their anti-LGBTQ poo poo. The time for actually standing up and loving doing something was years ago and our elected representatives continue to do gently caress all. Meanwhile the Supreme Court, the grand third part of our government that people were so up in arms over ~the sanctity of the system~ when Roe v. Wade got overturned is now coming out to be even more corrupt than anyone imagined and the court itself is like "So what? What're you going to do about it? " I don't know any more. I don't understand people can look at how hosed up the system is and conclude that, well, we just can't do anything because votes. Like seriously, lest we all loving forget: maffew buildings posted:packing the courts would have been a cool thing to do with control of government. and bad news, the fascists are going to get more radical regardless of whether they are given a reason or justification or whatever. being civil does not work. Remember Garland and Amy Coney? quote:Democrats rebuked Republicans and accused them of hypocrisy, stating that they had violated their own interpretation of the Biden rule, which they set in 2016 when they refused to consider then-President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland more than nine months before the end of his term. Perpetual Lucy footballing. Oh no! I can't believe our literally evil counterparts, who at one point literally said their number-one priority above all else was loving over the president rather than actually try to govern, would pull an underhanded trick, and on top of that, one that literally everyone saw coming! At what point do we collectively say "holy poo poo, pull your loving heads out of your asses and DO something" instead of continuing to make excuses.

Jarmak posted:How do you reference the real harm being done in red states and not make the connection to why getting more votes is necessary? Do you see that in the states the Democrats have enough control to do things? Voting more is something that needs to be done, but it isn't the only solution, nor is it the only thing that can or should be done right now. It's the bare minimum. And when people are actively being disenfranchised from it at this moment, voting right now isn't going to help. But you have to give people something to vote for, and by Biden's own mouth they campaigned on nothing will fundamentally change. You can't just whip up more votes when your party is as appealing as a hot steaming turd.

CommieGIR posted:That and even crypto fans don't use or treat it like currency: They treat it like a security like a stock. They don't even understand the difference. They also don't understand the basics of stock trading, this is obvious when you heard the poo poo like 'hodl' and 'to the moon' without understand that the purpose of holding stock is to eventually sell it to make money when the value increases. the hodl types make sense, it's just that you aren't using the same hosed up logic they are. if everyone holds and doesn't sell, value goes up up up, because selling makes number go down and buying makes number go up. so if everyone holds, supply goes down, demand goes up, wow our coins are worth $billions! now we sell they're just deluded into thinking that it will ever take off or reach that point same genius brains behind the idea that (the very last value someone paid for a 'coin') x (number of 'coins') = "market cap"

Tucker on Twitter is probably going to be a lot less powerful than he was on Fox News, if only because he'll have a much smaller audience. It's been said before but Fox News was just the default choice for a lot of public TV sets, he's not going to get that kind of passive viewership on Twitter. Can't wait for NYT's next edition of "We just don't know what Elon's politics are like"

Midjack posted:I suspect CNN put her up because she got banned from some events by the Trump administration when she was in the WH press pool and they thought this would be some kind of revenge for her, but good grief how bad do you suck to get dunked on by Trump like this. Trump is just good at it. If you give him the microphone he will verbal diarrhea his way over you. He does not care about facts, respect, or decorum. Anyone who goes into an interview or debate with him expecting it won't get it, and the press is nothing if not absolutely hung on not losing access to him because he's incredible for ratings. Don't get me wrong, he's a complete fuckup and a horrible excuse for a human being, but he didn't become President by not knowing how to control his image.

bird food bathtub posted:Pretty OK with CNN taking a hit to the chin on that one. Speaks the only language money understands. I've been doing my miniscule part and don't have them in my rotation of news sites anymore. gently caress those guys. the real question is if "taking it on the chin" is enough to change the general direction of it, given the cnn prez is a shithead conservative; it's entirely possible and i'd argue likely that cnn will simply double down on their rightward movement for ideology reasons. i imagine it'd just be "even if people hate it, it brought in ratings! we just have to do it more"

It's hard to find anything to laugh about in this because, yes, while Trump continues to be one of the biggest idiots on the planet, he's still fervently worshipped by a huge chunk of this dogshit nation and continues to suffer no consequences for any of his idiocy. Like, at least Musk's hubris is actually causing Twitter to crumble (if slowly).
