This is me after 1 dose of Pfizer on 1/5/2021 in the hospital. I was a very healthy 45 year old who managed a surgery center. Two years later I am still having major issues nitter.app/JabariDavisNBA/status/…
"No one should be blacklisted for being conservative."
Nobody's getting fired for their take on deficit spending or because they like deregulation, folks.
McDon*ld's took over the Grimace wiki page and removed all the real world information, appearances, and citations that I've added over the years and turned the whole page into one big in-universe ad for the birthday promotion :(
Blockbuster stores were required to have at least 7,000 movies. Many had closer to 10,000. Netflix has averaged ~3,000 movies for the last several years. At the peak Netflix had like 5,000.
Streaming is a modern marvel that allows us to watch more shows and movies than any old Blockbuster could hope to stock.
But somehow, the act of consuming content has never felt more frustrating than it does today, writes @cwarzel. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

You're really telling on yourself if you're saying that antisemitism, transphobia, racism, and conspiracy theories about eating children are your "conservative values".
Like I can just add it back but what's the point if they're literally paying a dude to undo it. They're partnering with Fandom for an ad campaign for the page now too.
This ad campaign is essentially based on my tweet but that tweet pretty directly resulted in them undoing why the tweet was funny (random man manages Grimace Wiki for the love of the game)
No, they weren't dead the whole time.
No, they're not in purgatory.
No, the show happened in the "real world."
No, the ending doesn't suck.
No, the finale makes sense.
No, they explained that pretty well and you didn't realize.
No, really.
Yes, you have to pay attention.

Heads up: Twitter is being really overzealous and locking people out of their accounts. Looks like when you regain access your account has unfollowed everyone. Here's how to grab your Twitter data for reference in case you lose access or your following list.
I had gotten kind of lazy since going back to school and there's stuff that trolls had removed previously that was already basically lost, but still, a goofy fun space on the internet is now just a straight up ad.
I am a *very* crappy wiki editor but I also believe that wiki pages should not function purely as ads, even on Fandom. Glad it'll presumably change back. Think they should have just cleaned up what was there and added some copy about this promo.
Legitimately just thought "this guy just picked iconic work to post as a joke about the format" but nope. Good on you. That Moonlight poster is the high watermark of non-illustrated poster art for me.
Science fiction, even comedy science fiction, is inherently critiquing social issues of its day. It generally transposes those issues to a futuristic setting in order to exaggerate and therefore clarify the societal concerns of the creators.
Over the past couple days, my office has been flooded with calls concerning all-ages drag shows. Let me be clear: I don't care what consenting adults do, but leave kids out of it. As Mayor, I will do everything I can to ensure these events don't happen on Knox County property.
Early evidence is suggesting that Kellogg's is discontinuing Corn Pops after 73 years, due to poor sales. If so, this is super sad, as Pops were like, the only corn-focused cereal left that really owned its corniness :-(
Popeyes chicken isn't named after Popeye the Sailor Man. It's actually named after Popeye Doyle from The French Connection. The movie came out a year before the first restaurant opened.
If the "worst movie you've ever seen" is a mainstream studio release that cost millions and millions of dollars to make you *probably* don't watch a lot of movies.
If I can shill something that's not mine for a sec, one of my favorite YouTubers @Q_Review has some great videos on this subject. piped.video/5OOPEtd4N7U
This is not a real statue. It is digital art by a French artist called Benoit Lapray. He has done many other digital pieces that are similar. This series goes viral once a year like clockwork.
The X-Files being shot on Super 35 and just framed and matted for 4:3 is a gift. These blu-rays are so gorgeous. If you love the show it is absolutely worth it to get ahold of the blu-rays rather than watching it compressed on streaming. It looks better than modern television!
In 1988, while Blockbuster was young/killing mom & pops, NYT calls BB "superstores" and indicates ~6,500 titles per, outpacing independents which were maintaining closer to 2K titles. Can't find anything primary that establishes the "required" part lots of secondary sources say.
The Olds are out here trying to make you believe that My Chemical Romance doesn't still slap and let me tell you, My Chemical Romance absolutely still slaps. Let go of your shame. Listen to My Chemical Romance.
Oh you mean how they predicted Donald Trump being president in 2000, when he launched a campaign to run for President in 1999 and ended it a month before the episode aired?
Indiana Jones and the Fourth Doctor wear the same hat. It's the Poet fedora by Herbert Johnson. Tom Baker and Harrison Ford also both worked construction before breaking big with their space roles, too.
They embraced their fringe in a bad way and its about to be impossible to label yourself as a conservative without fully embracing a laundry list of nonsense. And not just the like... Policy nonsense. Might have already happened.
Plenty of sources for the first one in Dallas opening with a library that began with "about 10,000 titles" but I can't prove the required bit. Also just wanna go on record saying Blockbuster sucked and I'm holding them up to Netflix because they're a similarly massive entity 👍
