If Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley were characters in movies today, they would absolutely be attacked for being woke and DEI

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis Minnesota will NOT face charges.

@mjarbo the dude has a huge catalog of "drinker recommends" I don't agree with his picks all the time, big he has 10-15 movies every year that he thinks are pretty good to awesome. you're transitioning from lolcow to "organisedchaos" levels of cringe. quit while you're behind

Here’s what I don’t get about Will Jordan, Critical Drinker...
You built an audience of more than 2 million people telling them Hollywood is broken, creatively bankrupt, and needs to be fixed.
Alright... so where the hell is your version of “fixed”?
And yeah, before anyone jumps in, I know about Rogue Elements: A Ryan Drake Story.
Kickstarted. Based on your books. Put out in 2024.
And your own audience tore it apart.
Which kind of makes this even more interesting...
Because you did try once. You put something out there.
And then... nothing.
No follow-up. No real push. No “okay, let’s improve this and go again.”
Just back to making videos about how everything else sucks.
Meanwhile, Eric July...
Smaller audience. Less reach.
Still built the Rippaverse. Still put product out. Still kept going.
That’s the difference.
One guy takes a swing and keeps swinging.
The other takes a swing, gets hit back, and goes right back to commentary.
And that’s the question, isn’t it...
Is it that you can’t do more...
or you just don’t want to risk it again?
Because it’s a lot easier to sit on YouTube and pick apart everyone else’s work than it is to put your own stuff out there and get judged for it.
Especially when your whole brand is built on judging.
You don’t have to beat Disney. Nobody expects that.
But if the industry is as broken as you say it is... why aren’t you even trying to build something better?
Or is this really just the business model...
Complain. Critique. Keep the audience pissed off.
Rinse. Repeat. Boring.
Because from the outside, it doesn’t look like someone trying to change anything.
It looks like someone who took one shot, didn’t like how it went...and decided it’s safer to stay on the sidelines.

Oh no, how will this movie ever succeed without the Boulder King to support it?

This angered the right people.
Good.
Matt Jarbo@mjarbo
Sorry @philiplord and @chrizmillr I cannot, in good conscious, support #projecthailmary after Andy Weir went on a stream with noted chud Critical Drinker. For years this man has tried to destroy everything that you guys stand for, and to give him a pass like that is a bridge too far.

How did Harry potters parents have all that cash for his trust fund? They died at 21 and the only jobs in the wizarding world are civil servant, barmaid, teacher or shop owner. Or is it just like magic? And if so how are the Weasleys poor like how far does magic go? Are they just bad at magic?

"Late Stage Abortion" is fearmongering. It's incredibly rare.
About 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks, when >99% of preterm births die.
About 0.01% occur after 28 weeks. In 15 years, Minnesota had just 10.
These are overwhelmingly for health reasons.

We must end abortion.💔🙏🏻😪

@DavidJHarrisJr he's an idiot. you can order a copy from the government for like... 40 dollars

@jemelehill if you need a brain surgery, would you be throwing a fit if there wasn't an available native American surgeon or a readily available Samoan? there are tens of thousands of people who dream of that job and 32 people can have it, in the most competitive industry in America. moron

So just to be clear: Florida is trying to challenge the NFL on the Rooney Rule when there are 3 Black coaches in the NFL, two Black offensive coordinators, and four Black general managers.
This is out of 32 teams.
It seems like the system has worked swimmingly well for white guys, so … what’s the issue?
Attorney General James Uthmeier@AGJamesUthmeier
Professional sports are a visible example of a merit-based system, but through the Rooney Rule, the NFL requires its teams to use race-based hiring practices. We are putting Commissioner Roger Goodell on notice: the Rooney Rule violates Florida law, and it must stop.

@djairrick my guy.... it changes the context of literally everything in the books. it changes harry from the son of a complicated hero who was a bad person sometimes in childhood, to the son of a Klansman

I dont care about this show, but I do hate racist shit. If you cant be immersed into a show because of the color of the actors skin, fuck off with that racist shit.
Severus@SeverusChud
I’m sorry, but this is just ridiculous. Race swapping Snape and most of the students, including Hermione, completely kills the immersion in HBO’s Harry Potter show. Snape was written as a thin, greasy haired man with a pale, sneering face. Turning the story into one about racism destroys its internal themes, and ruins the story. This show was over for me the moment it chose tokenism over staying faithful to the books.

@esjesjesj never change dude. they're mad at the production not the kid. I kinda envy your malicious stupidity

What level of racism is it to get mad at a literal fucking child purely for being black
Basil the Great@BasilTheGreat
This is Hermione Grainger in the new Harry Potter series Why do they keep changing the race of white characters? Do they have a problem with white people?

Why is MAGA pushing for this anyway when it would become the largest blue state in the country?

Someone is defacing Canadian coins with their 51st state bullshit. If you get one of these in the wild, take it to the bank to be exchanged so they can destroy it. Also defacing canada currency is illegal.

@Quotendeutsche my guy. they're doing that for the "socialist burning man" charity nonsense. the gov down there hasn't cared about its people in 50 years

@djairrick thank God it's over. new stewards are needed because "eat more garbage because otherwise there won't be garbage" isn't a good strategy

This is how dumb these guys are... with this show failing they most likely will NOT make anymore Star Trek TV for a long time... you guys did this to yourselves... so things like Strange New Worlds wont happen if you dont let other things on the menu

You can argue and attack the fans. Or swallow your pride and realise you should listen to them.

@StefFeldman it never ceases to amaze me how thoroughly you can miss the point. why don't you let them watch you get changed? they might not be wanting to assault you, but you're at your most vulnerable already and it's normal to not want the opposite sex to see you like that

For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be unable to buy comprehensive health insurance on your own if you had depression, acne, diabetes, or obesity. It wasn't just expensive; you couldn't buy it all!
Inez Stepman ⚪️🔴⚪️@InezFeltscher
For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be able to get basically full, complete coverage above a max of $5,000 (aka “catastrophic coverage”) for 90 bucks a month before Obama made it “affordable.”

@smalls2672 the argument that many people are poorly articulating is that we don't want any illegal migration. full stop. no exceptions. you come legally or j don't want you in the country. I don't know if that means many ice scents, stronger boarder security, harsher punishment 🤷

Crazy how many "freedom loving small government conservatives" want a complete police state. These ppl are the biggest bootlicking pussies I've ever seen.
Oilfield Rando@Oilfield_Rando
To be clear, I want ICE everywhere. Airports. The Social Security office. The DMV. Water parks. Grocery stores. Truck stops. The tiddy bars. Can you imagine how much that would improve the experience everywhere?

@daviddunn177 you need to clear an exit. rushing him into a crowd is a very very easy way for him to get shot again. you cover up and wait for the all clear to move

@PotatoMcWhiskey feels like a stateside decision. if your state makes it hard to get your birth certificate ( I had to get mine and it was 36$ and a 3 day mailing wait) then that's on your state. if you literally can't get your hands on 36$ you probably shouldn't be allowed to vote
