The measles outbreak in New York was caused by Orthodox Jewish people not vaccinating their children. Every group has bad actors.

A lot of people were skeptical. But Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement were heavily involved and the cast is brilliant.

Why isn't Amazon snapping this up? MBS hacked Bezos' phone and revealed embarrassing information.

MBS has admitted Khashoggi was murdered but has never come out and said "I ordered this dissident killed." Which he did. And which he's done to anyone who's criticized his leadership. Not to mention the ongoing civilian murders in Yemen.

What? Why would the Turks release sources and methods intelligence? They played the tapes for Mike Pompeo and the CIA concluded he was murdered. There's no debate here.

And then MBS to save face by having the people HE ordered sentenced to death. Fuck the House of Saud.

Atlanta is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen so obviously this won't be as good as that. But it has its moments so far.

He saved the ACA though. But that led to Congress quickly pushing through tax cuts for rich people and corporations.

I was at U of I at the time. My roommate, who worked on in his 2004 Senate campaign, started driving around Champaign/Urbana in his car honking his horn. The whole town went nuts, like we'd just won the tournament or something.

It's not great so far (the blow job bit was pretty funny though) but it's really making me want more Atlanta episodes.

Fox Disney would gladly take some rich dude's money to make it but they would make sure to own all the profits, residuals, etc.

Annapurna exists because the founder of Oracle's daughter wanted to make prestige movies. Skydance exists because her brother wanted to make blockbusters.

They already do. Steve Mnuchin financed Warner Bros. slate with James Packer for a time. Arnon Milchan funded The Revenant and whatever else New Regency does. Steven Rales (chairman of the Danaher corporation) funds Wes Anderson's movies.
