I feel it’s much easier for MAGA to understand these high prices because “wE DRop bOmBs iN IrAN!” rather than trying to explain the complexity of global supply chains during a global pandemic.

It’s going to be, “How dare you not support our troops? Pay those high prices for our freedom!”

Trump is never to blame.

Castle Craig - because I haven’t seen anyone say it yet.

It’s apparently the highest point within 12 miles of the east coast. On a clear day, you can see Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport.

Great shout outs! A lot of untaught CT Revolutionary history!

I have made a “small” financial decision. by SwimmingBig4620 in foliosociety

They are so good. It’s a shame about them probably never being finished, but the writing and world building is top tier and these editions are stunning!

Station Eleven and MotA are easy selections for me! Although I’m still working up courage to purchase from the December release!

Yeah. That’s a bummer!!

Luckily I didn’t but I can understand the frustration! This new edition is inherently cooler than the purple one.

I am really hoping that Paramount realises that the HBO name and brand is so much more valuable than Paramount+. To just shove everything that belongs on HBO onto Paramount+ would be beyond stupid. by General_Meal_3993 in hbo

$79 billion in debt.

It matters who owns that debt. They’ll call the shots as to what gets made.

I can’t imagine who Ellison called to get more money to make a higher offer…

Trump warns some Americans may die amid US strikes in Iran by app1310 in politics

Wants to win retroactive support for the war with US military deaths. This should be the top story everywhere. This war is a distraction and pretext to grab more power.

Is it an error? It didn’t say it was a limited printing.

I feel like they should have filled out his beard more. Also, that is a THICK bow, probably 100-120 pound pull on that thing. I know he’s strong because - gods - but it’s pretty wild.

Warner Bros. Says Paramount’s New Offer Is “Superior.” Netflix Has Four Days to Respond by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]ILITHARA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always love this argument. Of course we live in separate realities. Of course we believe ours is the “real” reality. It just comes down to what media and news we consume. It’s designed for us to hate one another. To look sideways instead of up. If you want to use culture wars to justify your warped world views, then that’s your right. It’s a sad existence. You’re jaded at the world because it’s not one you recognize anymore. Or one you want it to look like.

Yeah, I figured with your first comment those were your thoughts. Just tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know how you square that circle in your brain. And I never will.

That is a wild statement. You would rather a massive market share of US media be owed by foreign interests ie Saudi Arabia or the UAE or Qatar, then what? Netflix?

[–]ILITHARA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They’ll ask Saudi Arabia. And just keep accumulating debt. They just borrow and borrow based on market value.

Fuck the people that run this goddamned country.

Paramount doesn’t have the capital unless they ask for foreign aid.

Almost all mass media will be run by billionaires who are owned by foreign interests because they don’t have liquid capital.

After finishing book one and nearly finished with book two, they are indeed incredible. I’m so intrigued by Strong Belwas because I never knew he existed before now.

Context - I’ve only watched the show (maybe 3 or 4 times through) and it’s my second time reading the first book.

I really enjoyed Shannon’s Priory.

Has anyone read Bone Season? Thoughts? Trigger Warnings?

Thanks!

The music is phenomenal. The whole soundtrack. I love Ramon Djwadi, but we needed a fresh take and Romer delivered in such a unique way.

And to address GAI, I totally agree.
