[US] House Republicans drop Jim Jordan as their nominee for speaker, falling back to square one

Jump

  • I nominate Arnold Schwarzenegger for speaker.

    He’ll get enough votes from both parties. His dad also fought for and was ruined by fascism so he has a pretty big hard on against all of it. Sensible choice in nonsensical times.

    • Jim Jordan fails again to win speaker gavel in second vote, getting less support than first try

    Jump

  • This time they don’t have the shitlicking wannabe propaganda minister Cucker Tarlson weighing in and putting his thumb on the scale in favor of the Qult45 candidate.

    • X, formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet

    Jump

  • This requires people to have a credit card

    Muskrat Phony Stark will start taking his own brand of X crypto shitcoin for payment as well. All the way back before he bought twitter he had been discussing this with all of his dipshit friends in text messages (all leaked and available to look up).

    • “Netflix effect” is back as studios license old shows to competitors again

  • And then there’s the other issue: experiences vary wildly depending on device the service is being played from. Playing something on a Roku vs AppleTV vs even a PS5 will give you different experiences. Even through Netflix, who is probably at the top for UX/UI, some features of the software are missing device by device, UI differences, etc.

  • Did you catch the three other short films that accompanied it?

    Wes Anderson did a good job on the short films; Netflix really dropped the ball on promoting and bundling them together. I would have never known there were other short films released if I hadn’t looked up the first short film.

  • I haven’t watched all of it yet. Wanting a slow burn so only watching one episode a night. That said, I have to say the lead up and execution of the orgy scene was fantastic. Not since the scene in one of the Cube movies, where the prisoner is dying of thirst, goes into a cube and “water” starts raining down on him (and then melts him), has this idea been done so well. Gruesome, grim, and wonderfully gory.

  • Goolag went completely off the rails when they decided to drop the “Don’t Be Evil” pledge. There were whole projects dropped on a dime the moment anyone questioned if a certain project or action was “evil”. Now nobody at Goolag even cares anymore. It’s all about that $earch For More $$$; anyway they can get it.

    It will ultimately be their downfall, mmw.
