It seems that the makeup artists on “Star Trek,” without asking beforehand, shaved off Craig’s eyebrows before applying her makeup. Craig was merely laying still in the makeup chair, so it seems the makeup artists could have sandblasted her face and she wouldn’t have noticed. Craig had never shaved her eyebrows before,...
Every time that happens, I picture some poor ensign who desperately needs to get somewhere just waiting by the turbolift as Deanna and Picard have a heart-to-heart for 5 minutes.
Neat. I like how it’s like an old-fashioned model kit instead of 3D printed as a single piece. The library where my wife works has a 3D printer and I’m tempted to ask her to print it for us, but I don’t want to take up printing time for patrons who might have a better use.
Radio Shack doesn’t exist, so it isn’t American. And I’ve been in European houses that absolutely have gypsum on their walls, which is what drywall is made from.
Did you see my link? It absolutely was not primarily an American thing. It just wasn’t a European thing. So it does, in fact, sound like you think only what is in Europe matters.
I see… so drywall is an American thing because they call it gypsum where you live and Radio Shack is an American thing because it wasn’t in Europe. You’re right, I was only talking about American things.
Drywall is an American thing because it is only popular there, in other countries it is reserved for certain cheaper constructions and quite rare.
Is this based on “what you have seen?”
Radio Shack as the name wasn’t a thing in Europe, Tandy and others were.
Yes, we’ve already established that, according to you, “not a thing in Europe but a thing in other countries including America” makes something an “American thing.”
Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.
I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.
Please explain what is offensive about mocking George W. Bush on 9/11. Why does that hurt you? All you can say is 9/11 made you an orphan. That sucks, but it doesn’t explain why you find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 when he did something extremely stupid and unhelpful is offensive to you. What he did (or rather didn’t do) is the thing that should be offensive to you.
Please name the Afghani people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Unless you think those consequences should be killing people who had absolutely nothing to do with it. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Shouldn’t the consequences have involved Saudi Arabia? As someone who was orphaned by Saudis on 9/11, shouldn’t you be upset that we went to war with Afghanistan and not Saudi Arabia?
Even Twitter isn’t claiming that Media Matters somehow broke their algorithm (unsurprisingly, since that makes Twitter look terrible):
The lawsuit filed Monday accuses Media Matters of publishing a report that distorted the likelihood of ads appearing beside extremist content on X, a move the social media company says led major and influential advertisers to suspend their campaigns en masse. The company alleges that the group’s testing methodology was not representative of how real users experience the site and calls for a judge to force Media Matters to take down the analysis.
The case appears to be a “bogus” attempt to chill criticism in a way that “flatly contradicts basic First Amendment principles,” Ted Boutrous, a First Amendment attorney with years of experience dealing with the tech industry, told CNN. Boutrous added that the case could backfire for X in the discovery phase, as Media Matters could demand internal information that, if presented at trial, could prove embarrassing or highly damaging to the social media company.
The lawsuit also contains “fatal flaws” by conceding that ads did, in fact, appear beside extremist content, regardless of how Media Matters achieved that result, according to Steve Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas and a CNN contributor.
“The complaint admits that the thing Media Matters was making a big deal about actually happened,” Vladeck said. “Most companies wouldn’t want their ads running next to neo-Nazi content even once, and wouldn’t care about the exact percentage of users who were encountering such side-by-side placement.”
Contrary to the complaint, Media Matters “never claimed that what it found was typical of other users’ experience,” Vladeck added.
