Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

I will only ever remember Varoufakis as the guy Valve hired to research the Steam marketplace so him going pro-gamer mode when it came to all the racism in the new NSS shouldn't be unexpected
Why is he like this? Does he wake up and go: "My vatnik brain compels me to lick the yummy boot of murder and oppression"

"Caviezel was most recently set to star in Resurrection of the Christ, Gibson’s follow-up to his 2004 film. He was recast after the director failed to find an adequate way to digitally de-age him."

2) She has the worst taste in projects of any actor I've ever seen. Everything she's been in recently has bombed and, no offense to the lefties who think otherwise, it's not because of her politics. Even if she *were* trying to bring MAGA to Hollywood her window of opportunity has probably closed.

This dynamic soured fast and left everybody looking vaguey stupid because:

1) Sweeney is pretty clearly a Republican, maybe even a Trump voter, but she's not so Republican that she wants to be seen as the Nazi Barbie of their dreams (no money in that), leading to muddled statements like this.

Basically the culture war obsessed conservatives got worked up over the idea that if a sexy and popular Hollywood starlet was seen to endorse their views, it would trigger a domino effect in their favor and a lot of deeply insecure lefties believed them.

We probably have slightly less liquor but also way fewer DUIs and before someone makes a "sausage party" joke, it is not 2004, women play games too

the plan, insofar as one exists, is to just loudly state Prices Are Down into the nearest available camera for the next three years

have fun with the midterms, guys
Q: How quickly will this affect prices at the grocery store?

TRUMP: I think the prices are gonna be, ah, going down already. I mean, the prices are way down. We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices.

We'll see what happens with all of this but the Ellison pitch of "we're friendly with Trump" to try & clinch this seems incredibly shortsighted since a) he's an unpopular lame duck & only getting more so & b) Dems are gonna be frothing at the mouth to pull apart everything he had a hand in in 2029

It's very fascinating to me that this account is perceived so differently by different strands of this website. To these guys on UKpol, I'm a "woke thought leader" and to the average Yank leftist, I'm a centrist neoliberal who writes for LiberalCurrents.

online modern politics are mostly shaped by negative polarization in my experience, which is why it's so important to log off and organize IRL

I want capital to understand what is happening here.

A company with much more capital offered a higher bid than a rival bidder was willing or able to match.

Now the rival bidder is attempting to undercut the deal with a worse price on grounds of ideology and closeness with a lawless regime.
This is just how we do mergers now.

"Paramount executives also plan to argue their deal will have a much shorter regulatory approval process given the company’s smaller size and friendly relationship with the Trump administration."

one of the underrated bad things about trump is that he's so insane people have forgotten that what a politician says actually does in fact matter, that it's also a speech act. you can't just go out and say shit. you're a public figure.
