This corporate decision is--and I want to be subtle and even-handed in my phrasing so as not to lose any of the important nuances--stupid.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

From the article

How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?

People occasionally just flip Imel off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb.
It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is.

The studio that released Sinners, A Minecraft Movie, and Superman this year is, I think, going to survive this just fine.

Did this movie fuck Variety’s girl?

"One Battle After Another" needs roughly $300 million to break even in theaters. The film's current $140 million gross is impressive for an original movie that's R rated and nearly three hours long, but the film is still tracking to lose $100 million.
Warner Bros. spent more than $130 million on production and $70 million on promotional efforts, and ticket sales are typically split 50-50 between studios and theater operators.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.
