Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling.
We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack
No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

you can tell that this isn't a real problem, because if it was this would be written by someone it happened to and not someone who it didn't happen to saying "but if it did that would have sucked."

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

I simply cannot describe the amount of deja vu I am feeling from post-9/11, when nearly every other democrat was revealing themselves as a mask-off racist who cared only about whether they could vacation in the middle east and could justify every single illegal and amoral action to do so.

A thread posted on Threads by Senator Cory Booker:
“Here is to the decency of past presidents and the urgent need for us to have this again.”
A video clip of George W Bush speaking at a lectern is included. Above the video is the text, “I miss seeing this kind of dignity & grace from a Republican President.”

I don’t think there is a sound in pop music as guaranteed to make me smile as the robovoice “balloon” Busy Signal keeps using in this, the most good hearted song of all time

PANEL 1: MATTIE, looking at her phone, talking to someone offscreen.
MATTIE: Hey, did you see this big list that got published?
VO: No! What is it.
PANEL 2: MATTIE, raising her eyebrows.
MATTIE: Looks like there's an undercover cabal of draculas and other ghouls that seemingly kind of runs the entire world AND is responsible for every shitty thing that's happened for like, two decades. Huh.
PANEL 3: MATTIE, looking at the person she's been talking to, who appears to be some sort of dracula.
THE DRACULA: Have you read the whole thing yet?
MATTIE: No, why?
PANEL 4: Another GHOUL appears on the other side of MATTIE.
DRACULA: I was just going to say it's probably not that big of a deal who's on there, actually.
GHOUL: Classic over-reaction.

Scott Jennings is in the Epstein Files but he didn't have sex with kids he sucked trumps cock constantly just made sure Trump was somewhere and sucked it so hard Trump's cock went through his whole body and came out of his asshole. Jennings also says the current position of the democratic party is that as long as you are holding a cell phone you can commit any crime you want
Hey @cnn.com Scott Jennings says Alex Pretti deserved to be murdered in the street like a dog. You agree with that? You think he should cash a paycheck? I hope you all go fucking broke

It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.
