People weren’t lining up to watch Michael Jackson when he was pale white, missing a nose, almost dropping his kid off a balcony, plus the sexual accusations. He was a cautionary tale at that point.
His music got a boost after he died. Now that he’s dead people like to gloss over the final decade of his life. But they weren’t ignoring it when he was alive.
We’re removing Cesar Chavez from street signs, but this biopic won’t even mention the allegations?
I find it strange the way people are willing to ignore inconvenient details about Michael Jackson and still celebrate him. If Jackson were alive right now he’d be blackballed in Hollywood surely, but because he’s dead we celebrate? It’s a strange inconsistency.
I hate vertical filmed shorts.
Sure. You’ve never been?
Gas is up about $1/gal in the last month or so. It was up 10 cents a day for a bit.
including 80-something-year-old Bob Heironimus, who confessed to being the individual wearing the fake Bigfoot suit in the film.
I saw a doc at least 10+ years ago with this same guy saying the same thing. I believe him. But somehow people who believe in Bigfoot don’t care.
What about Nixon?
It also suggests that by 2029 we could have “an incredibly luxurious universal basic income.” Which seems absurd here in 2026.
Tomlin wasn’t the only minority coach interviewed that cycle. Clearly the rule has resulted in more interviews but it’s impossible to say that anyone was hired specifically because of it.
Most of the time these teams head into the offseason with a candidate in mind, have interviews, and then hire the guy they wanted the whole time.
I get what you’re saying, but jihad has a more complex definition. This is closer to shouting ‘deus vult’ during the crusades.
The Reservoir of the Dogs trilogy.
You should try some harder ones that have nothing to do with the plot.
Uh… it was like the default example for “evil leader” before Hitler.
Sounds like someone who wants attention. Enjoys the edginess and obvious absurdity in a statement like that.
Civil rights… for who exactly? Your right to interview only white people? Your right to discriminate pre-interview?
The rule is stupid. NFL teams interview these candidates out of obligation and then never hire them. It’s a meaningless rule. Getting rid of it won’t do anything.
What’s a Tim Conway?
It’s such a modern thing to frame everything as a ‘left vs. right’ debate. As if one group makes all the cults. And if you believe that there aren’t left wing cults, or that they aren’t right wing cults, then you’ve stopped critically thinking and you’ll be prone to falling for it. Thinking you’re too smart to be scammed is how people get scammed.
Nothing about cults or their diagnostic criteria have anything to do with WHAT the message actually is.
There’s a real situation that fits this. A major racial incident in 1955 Mississippi. The killers were acquitted by an all white jury. The woman who had accused Emmett Till in the first place, on her death bed said she made some of the story up. She basically caused a lynching.
If it’s on the internet archive, then it’s probably been scanned by AI.
Not sure I understood your question.
“It will be an easy Military Operation for them”
Within reason, yes. Not looking for anything complicated.
