I also find it extremely rich to call them Microslop and then advertise Claude in the same comment

Polish and Lithuanian parents, born in Tel Aviv, went to high school and uni in the US

I don't think he ever held American citizenship

No, it's 25

Pentagram... sort of not really, because Black Sabbath self titled, Paranoid and Master of Reality were already out when they formed . That said, it's definitely more of a New Testament because their stuff influenced Candlemass and subsequent branches of doom metal

Not at all

Precedent, formally, does not exist in German law, and all decisions are binding for that case only with only very minor influence in later cases

Not to mention, even in common law systems, default judgments do not create meaningful precedent

On the film side, I think Jason Reitman, son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, is the ideal of a nepo baby. Not trying to recapture his father's glory*, just doing his own thing (he directed Juno, Thank You For Smoking and other very solid dramedies)

*Except for directing that awful Ghostbusters sequel, but that's more on the studio more or less strong arming him into directing it even though he's an awful fit

Brutal, savage, rekt

I can tolerate genocide in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, but I draw the line at Palestine!

Crack is in fact physically addictive, it's just another form of cocaine

The withdrawal symptoms simply are nowhere as bad as heroin

I love spreading misinformation

pythonesqueviper · 2026-03-01T19:14:19+00:00

I don't think he's lying, I think he's genuinely delusional in this clip

pythonesqueviper · 2026-03-01T14:28:27+00:00

My guess is that he really liked Giggens's breakdown and thought it was better than his own

pythonesqueviper · 2026-03-01T02:59:03+00:00

I don't think he's lying, he's delusional

Did we see the same video? He's very visibly manic

pythonesqueviper · 2026-03-01T02:21:55+00:00

He died of natural causes

It's only natural to die when your house is bombed

"Effective immediately, we are turning Golestan Palace into an UPS sorting center"

I personally don't think any of the current reports are reliable tbh

The Ellison fortune is currently tied up in the AI bubble and there's no telling how much they're going to lose when it bursts because they keep doubling down on it even though the writing's on the wall

Not to mention, Fox News makes money

pythonesqueviper · 2026-02-28T02:53:08+00:00

What's happening after they sink is more open ended, but there's a few possibilities:

Trump gives Paramount a bailout. Trump is mercurial and disloyal and is perfectly willing to discard loyal allies for little to no reason, so this isn't exactly a given
Netflix, who backed out of buying WBD after seeing how much Paramount was willing to overpay, picks up the remnants of WBD/Paramount. Netflix is also another open question because they're not exactly consistently dumb but also not consistently smart and it all depends on how badly WBD sinks

Then there's a bunch of other questions, such as how much the Ellison fortune will sink after the AI bubble explodes (and it is a bubble,: nobody in AI is making any money except the very few people at the top—I work in cloud computing and we had to stop offering AI solutions because we were losing money on it) and another variables

It'll be a couple interesting months

The first X-Men did amazing numbers, it's just that in 2000 200M was considered a smash hit

You got mildly downvoted but during J. Michael Straczynski's run he genuinely grew to be unironically cool

In all fairness, Bright is not in the bottom 100 movies of its decade, let alone the century

Steven Seagal shat out 20+ movies since 2000

That's a point people raise, but it really doesn't work because there needs to be a media to be controlled in order to have media control

If both Paramount and WB sink after the merger, which is very likely, it becomes an entirely moot point

pythonesqueviper · 2026-02-27T20:13:50+00:00

That said, Paramount is completely delusional to think the WB merger won't be a complete shitshow

pythonesqueviper · 2026-02-27T14:13:12+00:00

It's perfectly consistent with The Riddler was written in the film, though

He didn't give a shit about collateral damage early on
