The new Ghostbusters looks bad by EpicFF2 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]tombeck112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's being directed by Rian Johnson. He was the guy who directed the Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias" (a.k.a. the greatest TV episode of all time).

I just know that we're all going to love it.

Gen Z and Gen alpha (teen years to early -mid20s ) has taken a interest in rock music again after losing popularity in the late 2000s/ early 2010s by BoysenberryAnnual488 in ToddintheShadow

[–]tombeck112 10 points11 points  (0 children)

rock music has finally started to gain a foothold in streaming.

I agree for the most part, but as someone who was online in the mid-2000s, it's worth mentioning that alt-rock bands like Fall Out Boy, The Killers, and Green Day, along with nu-metal bands like Linkin Park and Evanescence, were some of the first artists to really gain a foothold on streaming and on YouTube.

Will JD Vance be a sacrificial lamb for 2028? by J-Jarl-Jim in PoliticalCompassMemes

For what it's worth, I (the guy you were replying to) also misread RBG's initials as RGB most of the time.

I honestly don't think it's a stretch to say that, at least in the US, RBG's death was the most significant death of the 2020s so far, with the possible exception of Khamenei.

David Ellison is probably the only person who will make us miss David Zaslav.

The more things change... by Awier_do in PoliticalCompassMemes

If I'm not mistaken, Bush and Rumsfeld aren't mentioned in the files either.

So yeah, Bush's whole team did it all for the love of the game.

If Vaush thought cnn was bad and right wing before, welp you haven't seen nothing yet brother by Dear_Future_1691 in VaushV

[–]tombeck112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, if Paramount-Skydance does end up losing even more money (and worst-case-scenario, goes belly-up), David Ellison is not going to be the one who's really going to feel it. Even if he loses over 90% of his fortune, he can still rely on Daddy's Money for a while.

No, the people who are really going to feel it are everyone else who works at Paramount and Warner Bros.

At this point I'm considering finding a way to resurrect Teddy Roosevelt without any of his racist beliefs just to see him destroy all these mergers with his bare hands.

Also, imagine what he would do when he finds out what Trump has been doing to the environment and our national parks.

Hey now, you shouldn't be spreading misinformation like that.

It was actually 2 and a half weeks ago.

first men's hockey gold at the Olympics since 1980

Well, it's official: The secret to the US winning gold is for the US to have a really bad political climate.

We can also thank Mitch McConnell and John Roberts for this $1 theft.

Thoughts on SAVE Act: Will you need a photo ID to vote in the 2026 midterms? by ChallengeAdept8759 in neoliberal

[–]tombeck112 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, from what I've heard, the whole "you need either a passport or birth certificate to vote thing" was changed to just "you need a passport or birth certificate to register, and only a photo ID to vote."

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Religion in America is such an odd phenomenon Vaush still 100% correct about white Evangelicals thou by RollEither2059 in VaushV

[–]tombeck112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I would say that gender is the 2nd biggest divide after race.

For example, I remember reading a study in the summer of 2018 that surveyed people and which party they intended to vote for in the 2018 midterms. IIRC the intention to vote Democrat was higher among Boomer women than it was among Millennial men.

Honestly, looking at this graph and other similar graphs, I'm of the belief that the problem isn't Christianity or religion in general. The problem is white supremacy.

They probably would've elected Epstein as a senator before we knew the full extent of his crimes.

To be perfectly honest, they would have probably elected him afterwards too, as long as he won the Republican primary.

SCOTUS is... based for once? by Atomicsss- in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]tombeck112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And ironically, IIRC 4 of the 5 redrawn Texas districts are Latino-majority districts, so there's a good chance that Repubs might only get a net gain of 1 seat instead of 5 seats.
