Bob Iger on George Lucas' disappointment after seeing The Force Awakens: "He didn’t hide his disappointment. ‘There’s nothing new,’ he said. In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to him to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, ‘There weren’t enough visual or technical leaps forward.’ He wasn’t wrong, but he also wasn’t appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We’d intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do." Was George right in his criticism?

@DanFriedman81 Ur buk isnt nearly as fun, engaging,…; or inspiring to reed. Robert likewise sounds like a clown. Maybe his prose is just right, and all the fancy academic mumbo jumbo nonsense is just elitist vomit and completely unnecessary? Carry on!

Writers like Dan Brown and Andy Weir, who write ugly and clumsy prose at the sentence level, are sometimes extremely engaging storytellers in ways that transcend their technical deficiencies. “Project: Hail Mary” is a story about a lonely astronaut who undertakes a one-way mission into deep space to do a science thing that is the only hope to save the world, and when he gets there, he encounters an alien bug who is also a lonely astronaut on the same kind of mission, and they become best friends and work together to do their science thing and find a way to get back home. It is utterly charming, and everybody knows it. All these dunks are meaningless.
Robert Rubsam@rob_rubsam

Driving me slightly insane that everyone has to pretend that Andy Weir is a real novelist and not a guy whose books are like 70% math equations

@boycereads I liked Project Hail Mary, Enders Shadow, Speaker for the Dead, The Martian, Artemis, Armada, Bobiverse and Quantum Radio a lot. Those first six more than Red Rising although I liked Red Rising too.

The charge of the Polish Hussars at the Siege of Vienna in 1683 was the largest cavalry charge in history. I am painting this epic moment one painstaking detail at a time. This is exactly what I do - bring history to life in fine art.

Conjecture would be claiming she beats them or locks them in a basement. Saying a new, full-time, public appearance heavy, national CEO + entrepreneur isn't physically/emotionally available for young kids (let alone kids having just experienced one of the most traumatic things imaginable) is just basic life math. Kids are at best a side project for her. Thats just how it is. The time math doesn’t lie.

@disinfo_tracker Fair point, IQ tests have cultural biases, and Lynn's Somalia data is flawed/small/unrepresentative. Bump it 15 pts for loading issues? Still 83 (not good). But the real story isn't denying low averages, it's why: decades of war, malnutrition, no education, and massive corruption where warlords/politicians siphon resources (charcoal, aid, oil/gas deals) while keeping people impoverished. Refugee camps often aren't much better than home conditions in many of these cases. This isn't racist, it's what happens to ANY group in those circumstances. South Korea jumped from ~80 in the 60s to ~106 today after stability and investment. Same could happen in Somalia if governance fixed corruption and used its OWN resources (oil/gas/minerals potential) for the population instead of elite theft. US tax dollars (often reported diverted/embezzled) shouldn't fuel that corruption engine. Better approach would be to push accountability there so Somalis benefit from their own wealth. Fix conditions = scores rise. That's the path forward, not semantics over studies. I don’t know everything Asmongold has said, and he may rant about IQ often, idk, but acknowledging that bad conditions equals lower IQ score is not racist. It would be that way for any culture who endured the same conditions and corruption that Somalia has. It isn’t inherently racist, and you provided no solutions. Also, bringing up ancestors doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s nonsensical, purely incendiary.

Disinformation Tracker
Disinformation Tracker@Disinfo_Tracker·
Racist morons like Asmongold love to rant about IQ without any understanding of what IQ tests are or how they work. Setting aside limitations on what IQ tests can tell you in general, for the test to have any meaning, scores must be compared within a normative group because that is how they're DESIGNED. These tests are standardized on populations that are educated in wealthy countries. So you might, for example, use such a test to compare a student with their peers. What you cannot do is take the score of a wealthy, educated person and compare it to a poor farmer with little to no exposure to schooling, literacy, math, test-taking, etc, in order to declare them intellectually disabled when they inevitably score low. Comparing those scores gives you no insight into underlying cognitive ability. Under Asmongold's interpretation of IQ, 100% of his ancestors would be deemed intellectually disabled. Although in his case that may actually be true, under normal circumstances such a claim would be absurd.
Zack@Asmongold

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan He called them low IQ because the average IQ in Somalia is 68 (borderline retarded) It's not racist, it's a fact Another pathetic attempt to obscure reality to push a narrative

@AwakenWithJP @kentoblanco @LibTearCreator1 Man and wife are one flesh in marriage. You can’t stand by a man if you don’t stand by his flesh. You said you don’t believe she killed him, so there’s no excuse to not stand by his widow. You know damn well mocking and reviling his wife isn’t what Charlie would’ve wanted.

Your claim is that he should listen to the people who say Pitbulls aren’t dangerous. I’m not anti-owning dogs. I have a Great Dane Weimaraner. Big dog. Doesn’t change the fact, which you just reinforced, that dogs are in fact dangerous. I explicitly didn’t say Pitbulls I described a medium size high muscle density athletic dog. There are a lot that qualify. I wouldn’t want my neighbor to have a Great Dane or pitbull or even a German Shepard or something similar. It would be hard to trust my kids to go outside, because I’ve seen they own their other dogs. It’s not ridiculous to think that you can’t just have a blanket trust for allowing someone in a residential area where kids live to own what is objectively a dangerous animal, especially as you pointed out that it has a lot to with the owners and how the dog is treated and raised. And even then, kid shouldn’t be left alone with them. I have also seen a dog that was well socialized, and a very nice dog, his owner (elementary age school girl) was showing him to a group of her friends and one of them ran in to start to pet him and he bit her. I saw it happen, and it was clear that the dog felt threatened with his little girl (owner) standing right next to him and the quick movements of the kids spooked him. There are even cases we’re just a normal dog and a normal family have things that can happen. If something like that happens with a pitbull, it is necessarily going to be way worse than with a breed that is less capable of causing the same amount of damage. If that story made sense. It’s not worth the risk. In a rural setting sure, probably fine. Odds are that the rural person has more experience with animals as it is. In residential suburban and urban areas, it should probably require some kind of professional training certificate in order to own one or something similar along with laws about the owners not being allowed to leave the dog unsupervised. You’d probably be closer to good ideas for how things should be than I am, I don’t really think about it. I understand that you probably have beef with Walsh, so he’s probably talked about pitbull’s at some point I’m guessing. I don’t really watch him, I wouldn’t know. My point was mainly just that it’s not a very good comparison.

Yes, attacks happen yearly. From pretty much all breeds. That is a fact. All dogs introduce potential risk into a household or society. That has been the case for the 10,000+ years they have been domesticated. It is a risk we as a society has agreed is well worth the amount of negative outcomes. Do you know how many breeds would encompass "medium size, high muscle density, strong bite force, and impressive athleticism"? A lot more than the 12 or so called "pit bulls"... Are they dangerous? Of the 90M owned dogs? Some are yeah. Which ones? Usually the ones who have some combination of poor socialization during puppyhood, not neutered, kept as property on a chain outdoors vs. as a loved pet, allowed to run at large, not leashed in public, left alone with kids. My "advice" also draws from real-world widespread wisdom. Of myself and the hundreds of people I know or have read in the world of dogs and animal welfare.

It’s funny anytime we have this debate about whether married people should have opposite sex friends, it’s always those of us who’ve actually been married for a long time saying no you shouldn’t, and a bunch of people who’ve never been married, or haven’t been married for very long, insisting that it’s fine. Okay guys. Yeah just totally reject the wisdom of almost everyone who has actually done the thing successfully. That’s a good plan. I’m sure you know better than us.

@LilMandee86 @AwakenWithJP We should probably agree on what constitutes a better job pushing conservative Christian values before sticking people together. Why do you consider him the greatest conservative Christian of our time? Thinking of his position in the world prior to his death.

So your position is that a medium-sized dog with high muscle density, strong bite force, and impressive athleticism/endurance isn't dangerous? Denying the potential risk is irresponsible. Attacks happen yearly—100% fact. Thoughts? Your analogy also fails because Matt's advice draws from widespread real-world wisdom, many of us have seen or experienced how 'just friends' opposite-sex relationships (often starting innocently) lead to affairs. Setting boundaries protects marriages. For your pit bull claim to hold the same weight, they'd have to not be dangerous, but objective data shows dogs are in fact dangerous, making denial of risk very different from prudent caution.

it’s funny anytime we have this debate about whether pitbulls are dangerous, it’s always those of us who’ve actually worked extensively with the breeds saying no they are not, and a bunch of people who’ve never worked with dogs or owned one insisting that they are. ok matt yeah, just totally reject the wisdom and real world experience of almost everyone who has actually worked with these dogs. that’s a good plan. i’m sure you know better than us.
