April 24, 20205 yr Lucasfilm hired Harvey Weinstein's ex personal assistant Then, it gets better: this lady has an history of "ists" tweets, that she's now deleting... Apparently, Disney didn't know about her hiring and they're furious about it. What a mess Then again, Hollywood was friends with Mr Weinstein... So virtuous.
April 24, 20205 yr Looks like the number of hospitalized patients is really starting to decrease here! Finally some good news
April 24, 20205 yr Just ate 2 grilled serrano peppers which were awesome, hopefully I don't pay the price later.

I saw this 2 days ago and wasn't surprised, the apathy for anything Star Wars is real except the OT & PT. My prediction is the next part of the culture war will be Woke entities to change the past by censoring music, movies, art, etc so make sure you have physical copies of your favorite things cause everything is digital now.

It's always interesting to get other people's perspectives. Just take one example I'm sure we'll agree on: the media talk a lot about body positivity nowadays and why not.... why would you want to anything else? Positivity sounds good, but if you don't remind people that obesity and overweight are dangerous for the health (and the covid crisis shows this too), then we are harming them, aren't we? Also, the main cause of obesity is processed food. So, in the end, those do-gooder media are indirectly protecting the giant oligopolies behind processed food. A lot of their ad revenues might come from these oligopolies. Is that really "so progressive"? Anyway, I'm rambling on again...

Yeah, I've seen that Disney is starting to edit their old movies and cartoons! WTF? How can these people sanely think it's good to erase or modify the past As long as their ideology is dominant (oligopolistic in a sense), these insanities will go on... Calling them out is the only solution

Calling them out is the only solution Cause they're idiots, expect other film, music, art, etc to do so. Calling them out isn't going to do shit in my opinion, a consumer boycott would work only if everyone was on the same page. At least Celebrity worship is on life support as they were exposed during this crisis.
April 25, 20205 yr Next Trump scandal is China Gate............ he's colluding with China cause he owes them money.
April 25, 20205 yr Coca Cola spent shitloads of money in studies to misinform people on the dangers of sugar... https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2019/05/08/enquete-sur-la-science-sous-influence-des-millions-de-coca-cola_5459509_3244.html Just like the tobacco industry 50 years ago. Well done, Coca, drug is a good business indeed Spoiler
April 25, 20205 yr @Enrico_sw You live by Wokeness you die by Wokeness....... the Bobs can be furious all they want cause they aren't going to do anything anyway. https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/04/25/rumor-top-disney-executives-livid-over-rumored-female-centric-star-wars-series-from-leslye-headland/
April 25, 20205 yr Multiple reports are saying Kim Jong Un is dead, but nothing is confirmed. That's not good in the sense that it could destabilize SE Asia and the world.

Well we saw it with some governors and local officials besides the tech platforms. I bet we might see it on the federal level too. The question is how much freedom (civil liberties) are you/we willing to give up for security?
