His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

he got lucky his podcast exploded

He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

Maybe. That might have also been fully fabricated. Hard to tell anymore.

Will be very funny if all this bullshit FBI efforts to blame someone other than him somehow gets his case thrown out.

If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

She’s ballsy af just running for office right now. Spending her days picketing ICE offices is something else.

No. I think they’re going to build Charlie Kirk one of those big animatronic memorials.

Gates’s Mom was an IBM executive. He got handed a multi million dollar contract before he was out of undergrad. That’s not “from nothing”. The man was practically coronated

Microsoft was always bad. But now that they’ve saturated the market, they need shadier and shittier gimmicks to keep justifying their inflated stock price.

Now they’re trying to sell businesses on AI as a full replacement for worker headcount. It’s a bald faced lie. But with enough money spent on marketing and gimmicks like this…

So if Microshaft is going to install these products automatically with my copy of Windows, the tools are free to use, right?

That’s sort of the joke of it all. Microsoft needs to tell their investors “We sold AI to 100 million new users!” to justify these bloated investments in OpenAI.

So instead of selling it as DLC, they just shave off a chunk of the 365 subscriptions and say “that was people paying for AI”.

Folks will panic at the sight of the wrong flag, while wearing the Union Jack on a breast pocket without an ounce of self-awareness

See ya all on RedNote, I guess.

China doesn’t have to do a thing because Douyin is already maintained separately for the Chinese market.

Nobody really wanted to grapple with the reality. They just saw “Chinese investors mean Communist propaganda means Americans most be protected from the thing”. Then Cold War brainrot kicked in and that was that.

A country that fumbles this hard doesn’t deserve to exist.

Not the guy with the hole in his neck.

If I had a dollar for every year I’ve heard “Politics is over. We’re a one party country now”, I’d have collected at least 6 dollars over the last 12 cycles.

Canadian journal is going to have a Canadian spin.

I cannot conceive of anything worse than a late night host losing his job.

They failed to prosecute him once he was out of office, having already acknowledged he had committed crimes during the impeachment.

A state of exception (German: Ausnahmezustand) is a concept introduced in the 1920s by the German philosopher, jurist and Nazi Party member Carl Schmitt, similar to a state of emergency (martial law) but based in the sovereign’s ability to transcend the rule of law in the name of the public order and the survival of a state. Its difference to a state of emergency lies in the two concepts’ diverging relationship to the law; while a state of emergency is considered to be mostly declaratory, a state of exception is considered to be more politically significant, as it nullifies the legal validity of certain legal orders by the sovereign decision.

There won’t be any more elections

We’ve got two gubernatorial races and a whole mess of municipal races coming in November. So that remains to be seen.

But when see front-runners for primaries coddling up to fascism all up and down the Dem slate, it does not fill me with optimism for the future.

Hey, you know how we’re already fucking hemorrhaging our own base?

I’ve been on Lemmy long enough to know that you plug the leaks in your party by screaming at everyone who won’t align with Henry Cueller, Bob Menendez, and Eric Adams. Call them Tankies. Tell them that they’re brainwashed by Russia. Remind them that by not voting for Democrats, they are killing Palestinian children. Then blow up their phone with “I’m not like other Democrats! Support me and we can change the system together, for just $25/mo!” ad spam.

Why be more inclusive when you can just start excluding your entire base?

Transgender people are hurting the party. Homeless people are hurting the party. The Radical Leftist Antifas are hurting the party. You’ll never get your Health Care Reform or your Student Debt Relief if you keep wasting your time on the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses who won’t stop yearning to breath free.

Politics is for the professional managerial class. Now get in line to walk 40 miles in the blazing sun, knocking on the doors of people two weeks away from eviction and asking them to Vote Blue No Matter Who!

If you don’t, my close personal friends in the Republican Party are going to shoot this puppy. And it’ll be all your fault!

A staff of seven with a budget of $10M. Just imagine what people who weren’t geeked to the gills on The West Wing episodes could do with that kind of money.
