It was all downhill after the board let Eisner sack Katzenberg to stave off a coup.

Although really, it's all France's fault.

If French people hadn't been so down about Disney Paris then Eisner wouldn't have gone Palpatine-mode in the first place.

If they hadn't created Foucault and Derrida there wouldn't be wokism.

I don't get that reference

That's disappointing. But not surprising.

Ask me anything

If you and AoV were to hatefuck, would you both disappear as mutually annihilating anti-particles like Samantha Grey and Angel Tomioka in Hyperpolice?

Always with the punting.

I got enough of punting going to Iowa State.

You know, the thing I liked about the Mayan doom calendar people, and the millennium doom people, and the heaven's gaters...

Was that that their predictions were tied to a fixed date they couldn't punt on.

Once their time came and past, that was it, they went away and left everyone alone from then on (ESPECIALLY the heaven's gaters).

OP, you could learn a thing or two from them.

Instead, people (esp white conservatives) whine about it

Because they don't have the intellect for strategic thinking. They think catching progressives being hypocrites is sufficiently damning in of itself (it's not).

From a legal perspective the Pepsi Harrier didn't tread any new ground.

But it was sensationalized and landed at a time when McDonalds had just been hammered for their Monopoly game being rigged, so the popular sentiment was that companies were more full of shit than normal.

It's more lasting impact was that companies moved to a "codes under caps" gimmick, where you could get things like music downloads (as mp3's became a thing).

What's your stance on Anime?

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a good binge.

He HAD good brand instincts. But the older he gets the more his preference for personal loyalty takes precedence over projecting the proper image.

90's Trump wouldn't have made such a mistake as punching down at someone who just scored a big win.

Because his attack on DeSantis was petulant.

By his own actions he signaled his weakness; the strong move would have been to congratulate DeSantis and belittle McConnell for pulling out of winnable races.

Is it infinitely good to do double or nothing coin flips forever?

Johnson almost lose

Johnson outperformed Michels by something like 70k votes.

I've been looking over the historical numbers. The dynamics in Wisconsin were that Madison area had high turnout for an off year (almost certainly abortion effect) but that it still wasn't enough to outvote the rest of the state being red. But in the Governor race, it was that Michels simply ran behind Johnson in about every county. A few hundred here, a few hundred there, and it adds up.

Trump had no impact in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin was down to incumbent effect. The interesting takeaways from the state was that Kenosha county and adjacent Racine county flipped from safe blue to mild red, while turnout in the Madison metro was very high.

The difference between the performance in Governor vs Senate was in the rural counties, where there's a general sense that the Evers is doing okay (better than Michigan anyway).

It's your own fault for expecting too much from a Senate class that was the worst chance for the GOP to make gains.

And let's be clear: Republicans won more Senate seats tonight than the Democrats did.

The show was always the house, and the house so far has been a Democrat wipeout.

Look at Iowa. Miller-Meeks, the narrowest winner in the last cycle, is up by 20k, while Axne, the last blue seat, will probably lose hers.
