"haha all according to keikaku, keikaku means plan haha."

Discovery wanted the HBO Max platform and HBO/WB's past library to extend their reach to compete with other streaming giants. And WB was desperate to get out of their debts. To do so, they most certainly fudged their numbers as JMan said.

DeMarco would quit if they axed Uzumaki from Toonami broadcast. It's his baby.

Because federal oversight of corporations has been weakened to complete inefficiency.

Here's a clip!

I think we should all give it a chance. It captures the spirit very well from what we've seen of the trailers.

Yeah. It's just funny how the consumer has to inform their ethics.

Yeah It's not because it's the decent thing to do because again it's not the first time Kanye has said hateful things about entire races of people. It's because their shares went down 5 points. These companies aren't ethical or anything and that's a-okay. 🤷

Adidas has dropped Kanye

Seems like a move to come off as actively helping with the situation but it's kinda hollow with how vague they are.

Good ol' pyramid schemes

I mean he riled up a riot and basically all of his followers think that elections don't count if you lost. Like Sponges is being a tad fatalistic, but I totally see where he's coming from.

Right?

His unpredictability makes him dangerous as hell. He's basically a cult leader who just loves riling up his cult. The big difference now is that we have more Trump acolytes entering Congress this election and they are going to fight tooth and nail to ensure Trump gets re-elected in 2024. And it doesn't matter what he says, the new fascism is a collective doing what they think their leader likes and the leader being like "yeah sure I was totally going for that"

I mean we really can't dismiss Trump as a one off fluke. It's a symptom of the disease of radicalization that's been ripping this country apart. Facebook and other platforms accelerated the conversion of many "normal" folks into bootlicking fascists and/or fascist sympathizers. We really can't underestimate the number of people in this country who think Trump is a prophet of Truth.

Oh yeah sure. It won't go to Ukraine if the GOP take over. That's for sure. I mean Sponges was basically saying what you're saying. Maybe just a slightly extreme version. We just need to take the threat from the GOP seriously.

Thomas is such a disgrace

I imagine the worst they could do is oust Zelenskyy and make Ukraine into a puppet state. It could happen if the tide turns so we need to be wary. Russia has lost a lot but they still have a huge military force. Not to mention, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and others are greatly invested in pushing the GOP back in power since they know that would make their circumstances more favorable. Gotta be vigilant.

Besides openly saying the quiet part a lot more loudly, they've gotten a lot more fashy. So yeah I would say they've gotten steadily worse over the years.

Trump was actively advocating for the US pulling out of NATO if they didn't pay the US more money for membership. The GOP is actively criticizing Ukraine and supporting Russia on all platforms. Maybe it wouldn't be a full isolationist policy but it would certainly head into the opposite direction of what we're doing now.

Just a reminder that Tulsi Gabbard and Glenn Greenwald exist and are actively platformed by right wing millionaires. And they're in support of isolationism. Hm. So weird.

The old GOP no. The new GOP that is being made up of MAGA and QAnon isolationists yeah.

You aren't seeing that the GOP is torn between the corporate neocons who are very swiftly losing power and the America First MAGA folks who are very quickly taking power on all levels of government. They are on the ballots this election. The midterms are going to be a real litmus test of how bad it's getting.

I thought you'd be happy since a GOP victory would ensure that such forces would get pulled out.
