How the writers are still employable, let alone not in massive debt, astounds me. They single-handedly got one of the most successful shows, a show that people wouldn't shut up about and were hanging for each episode every week, and turned it into something to feel a bit embarrassed to admit liking. All the potential DVD/bluray sales - gone. All the merchandising - gone. The potential for spin-off shows - gone. HBO and their partners just watched millions in revenue disappear in one catastrophic season,and somehow D&D got away with it.

I did laugh when Disney told them their services weren't needed after all though.

Perhaps you haven't been following Canada's state of affairs? They're not going too great either.

It was a day of "I'd love to see these fuckers go to jail" I guess.

I'm happy to be corrected, but my understanding is this all stems from a MegaLag video published a month ago. There would be no need for LegalEagle to republish all the claims and it understandably takes some time to file suit. In short, the info was already out there for everyone to see.

Can we just replace all headlines about this fuckhead with "Moral person with clue says Elon Musk is wrong, again"

I'd suggest they know growth of the platforms is waning, if not going backwards, but if they create a heap of bots and call them "active users" then the share price won't go down. That's the only reason I can think of.

My first thought also, and I strongly recommend Ken Burns' Vietnam War doco to those who haven't seen it - that's where I first learned of Nixon's unforgivable treason (about this particular topic... not to mention his other treasons).

Firstly, Russians are inefficient and inept as fuck, Chinese are not.

Citation needed. The Chinese largely based their armed forces on the Russian model in a somewhat combined effort, so I suspect they'd be just as shit. It will be interesting to see how much of a fight Taiwan gives them.

On the second point I have no doubt Trump won't intervene, however I do find it odd that Musk just finished fucking over the budget bill (whatever its name is) that would have helped fund chip manufacturing in the US just for them to simultaneously hand all Taiwanese chip manufacturing to China. It's almost like they have no game plan...

outright false information

Lies. They're called lies and should be reported as such.

Wasn't "Death Panel" a bullshit line spouted by Sarah Palin? I am yet to see any evidence of them in countries that have social healthcare.

Not that weird or hostile really, just a fair response to someone coming in and saying, "nah, this one" like an indecisive baby at a toy shop, with no reasoning or argument as to why their choice could be considered better.
