Also brexit, also the various UK elections, etc.
In not opposed to him being outspoken, or even his stated outspoken stances, but pretending he has none now means he either supports genocide, or at least supports those that support it.
Fuck both of those stances, Ed.
That Rush song honestly opened my eyes to this when I was younger.
Is there anything Rush can’t do?
What about the 80,000 dead Palestinians? The 20,000 dead Palenstian children that Israel is still slaughtering?
Dude has an estimated $300 million to his name. If he gave a shit, he could pay all of their salaries out of pocket for the whole tour and not even feel it, while still standing agasint a genocide. That would be a huge, double whammy PR boost for him, cementing him forever as the best fucking guy in showbiz.
I bet it wouldn’t even cost 10 million, leaving him $290 million to buy villas and superyaughts with until a few months passes, when he would have $300 million again from the interest alone.
Ed has a reported net worth of 300 million dollars. Hes a 1/3rd billionaire.
He can do a lot fucking more than youre giving him credit for, including canceling a tour because he opposes genocide while standing up for freedom for artists to speak truth to power. The blowback would have been 99% focused on the billionaire genocide supporters, who likely would have folded or at least made PR based concessions.
He did none of these things but claim to be apolitcal when he is not, and pretend he was powerless as someone who has “superyaught” money.
Arch devs have opaquely but clearly lambasted this in public. Apparently DHH tried to sponsor Arch and they turned him down flat.
Same guy who wrote the "I saved half a million dollar with a few button presses and it made my life hell" articles years back. Also a great one.
His blog is gold. He struck out on his own with 5 friends a few years back and is doing great apparently.
Yeah, if you are also going to do a new roof, metal roofs work really well with common panels and last 50 years or more. You can just clamp the panels to the seams, making the solar install very simple.
Solar shingles are an insane 10x premium for aesthetics, at best. They are just an inferior, way more expensive, locked in product at worst.
The annoying but workable answer is to run two instances, one for each language.
Plexing their muscles, as usual.
Anker soundcore. They run in the $30-99 range, have all sorts of types that include buds, over the ear, etc. Some models have decent ANC. They also support being paired to 2 devices at once, which is really nice if you use your earbuds with more than one device. Lots of high end models still weirdly dont support dual connections like these $60 earbuds.
I use the sport x20 model mostly because I hate “stick in” earbuds. The ANC on them is solid for the train or general commuting, but isn’t up there with brands like Bose/Sony. Good enough for an office environment in my experience, but not “full” silence.
Thats pretty much what already happens in films. Most people work on one of them and then have to be rehired for the next.
Only 7 total sins? You gotta pump up those sin numbers bro.
I think we are viewing the same tells with a different levels of impact. I can see where you are coming from, but I still disagree. I’ll say its at least an allegory, maybe more.
Personally, I still think the universe colors/her suit/flags/pin all point to the same allegory, and aren’t individual tells hinting at her being trans. I can see it as a “the writers wanted to, but the suits shut it down” situation, which is maybe the same thing, but if its not there, its not there.
Again, cool either way with me, I just dont see her as trans in canon.
Being cool doesnt mean youre trans, but I get your point.
I’m happy either way, but I personally don’t see it. There isn’t enough of the day to day of that journey in the movies, especially with how heavily shes featured in the 2nd one.
We know a lot about her life between the 2 films, and besides her being fucking awesome, no elements touch on her being on puberty blockers or having gone on that specific personal journey of discovery. With how intensely emotional and human these films are, and how focused they are on family, I just can’t see them hiding all the literal trans moments to just have allusions and allegory instead.
I don’t think the trans themes in the movies(the color of her dimension mirroring the trans flag/etc) are literal, more that her journey is an allegory for the trans journey.
Her arc involves discovery herself, losing friends, hiding who she is from her parent, being abandoned when her true self is revealed, finding a found family, and finally reconciling with her parent when they finally accept her.
Its a trans arc, but is more shared experience that makes it roots clear than a literal statement of gender.
100%. He takes a majority of his funding from the Koch brothers, and is famous for pushing for “safety 3rd” instead of “safety 1st,” I.e go ahead and die as long as it makes someone else money.
More likely the things that make it clear Kirk was an asshole are the things he likes about him.
Why would you search for something worthless?
A Lee greenwood song, a avowed maga shitwad, too boot. The song has a line that goes “stand up!” right when he crashes as well.
Has anyone checked recently?
