The guy you’re trying to pass the buck to, money_loo, is from a lemmy instance that only has Chicago sports communities and whose front page is mostly federated meme posts. You’re a BeeHaw user. You’ve presumably read and agreed to the Beehaw community documents.
I expect more than anti-intellectualism from you.
That definitely changes things. Out of curiosity, I looked up what other movies he directed and produced.
He produced and starred in American Sniper, which was incidentally also kind of a political disaster. The nose prosthetic reminds me of the American Sniper fake baby hilarity. Bradley put the blame on the director, but the director makes it sound like it was a monetary and not an artistic choice. That would put the responsibility on the shoulders of the producer.
So many questions!
Are you suggesting that the political aspects of technology shouldn’t be discussed in a technology community?
Are you implying that technology is apolitical? That there are technology subjects to discuss that don’t have a political component?
Do discussions of the applications of technology not belong in a technology community?
Have you tried sokui? If you have leftover asian rice, all you need is a blender. It was historically used in Japan to supplement traditional furniture and housing wood joinery.
Yikes! They gave Bradley Cooper an even bigger nose than Leonard Bernstein. Is this some kind of antisemitic attack on Jake Gyllenhaal for not taking a pay cut to play the part?
If feel like this is more a studio scandal than a Cooper scandal. They did the casting and approved the prosthetic. I’m disappointed the actor gets the heat and the institution isn’t mentioned.
If you want to get angry at Bradley, his relationship with 21 year old Suki Waterhouse was super gross. The studio holds no blame for that mess.
Crack Attack! is a loving parody of addictive tetrislike games that is also an extremely addictive tetrislike game.
Do you remember when the decision of the 2011 grand jury was revealed? If they kept it secret to scare Assange, that’s still a pretty outrageous form of press intimidation.
Thanks. Yeah, I think I heard about this jury, but only that its deliberation was secret, and I never found out what was decided. When the indictment was unsealed, I assumed it was the revelation of this Jury’s decision.
You’re right, it was during the Trump administration. For some reason I thought the first indictment had been made and then sealed during Obama’s tenure. Trump’s attack was a major escalation.
I don’t see any reference to a Grand Jury in the linked article, and I can’t find anything in Google about “assange grand jury 2010”. Are you thinking about this section?
Justice officials said they looked hard at Assange but realized that they have what they described as a “New York Times problem.” If the Justice Department indicted Assange, it would also have to prosecute the New York Times and other news organizations and writers who published classified material, including The Washington Post and Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
It seems to indicate that they didn’t even bother to assemble a grand jury, which is even better for Obama.
the Grand Jury that was impaneled to look at Assange during the Obama years chose not to prosecute because they couldn’t disentangle other media outlets
One of us is confused; the history I remember is that the Grand Jury decided to prosecute not just once in a sealed indictment, but then added further controversial charges in a second indictment.
There were some very deluded people during the Trump years who thought Assange would get special treatment for his vendetta against Hillary Clinton helping to get Trump elected. But you nailed it right on the head – killing press freedoms and not paying debts are even bigger parts of Donald’s brand than gaudy letters on the sides of buildings.
But don’t get it twisted. Then Secretary of State Clinton went hard against Assange, and it did look bad for press freedoms in the US. You have to remember the State Department did not take press freedom seriously at all, abusing the espionage act left and right. They put more journalists sources in prison than any other previous president. They went after journalists families, like when they detained Glenn Greenwald’s partner in Heathrow. That should always be remembered as part of Barack Obama’s legacy.
The Trump “Fake News” era was absolutely devastating to journalism, so it’s easy to see Obama’s administration through rose tinted glasses. But it’s important to remember the damage they did that contributed to where we are today.
The first amendment doesn’t exist to prevent editorial censorship. It has nothing to do with “cancel culture.”
It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. It has been interpreted by centuries of court decisions to protect against exactly this - harassment and prosecution by government agents for engaging in protected speech, especially political protest.
You must not be from a culture with an antifascist tradition of "First they came for the "
I’m concerned you would think this is an okay thing to post, and I’m worried about the people who subscribe to socialism and would upvote this kind of sentiment.
Furthermore, you’re not even correct. The police’s justification is the vehicle’s attendance at an unaffiliated nonviolent climate movement protest, though I doubt that changes things in your mind.
I thought from the title that the song was about how love was gay. Yay invidious!
The review was published in 2016 before ND transitioned, I’m old-posting it due to the movie coming out on Netflix recently. Deadnaming is bad, though it’s clearly not malicious on the part of the article’s author.
Thanks for the note.
I don’t think he’s trying to amend for past misdeeds – I think he’s just trying to live his life. If we lived in a restorative justice society instead of a punitive one, I’d have different expectations of him. We are a society ruled by war criminals who have never seen a day of prison. Things are hard enough for people who’ve survived incarceration, it’s a shitty thing to throw his past at him. Especially since the people who tend to do it are acting in bad faith, and whose actual beef is that he’s not simping for genocidal dictators.
If Beehaw made a dime every time a .ML tankie invaded a post to slander socialists, they’d have more money than Facebook.
If you think monetary economies developed from barter economies, attacking the OP for sharing the scientific consensus makes you look culty. You’ve got a lot of indignation and no evidence.
Feminist Frequency survived both GamerGate and a Trump presidency. That’s a pretty long time when measured in hate-years.
Support. No one wants to hear about the negative stuff about their platform of choice, but it’s important to talk about it so it can improve.
