During COVID, several movies including “Soul,” “Luca” and “Turning Red” were sent directly to Disney+ and executives felt that inadvertently trained audiences to watch Pixar’s films at home.

Inadvertently my ass, executives wanted to pump the D+ numbers and now they cry they can't double dip on tickets and subscriptions. At the same time they want to churn out 3 pixar movies and 2 spinoff shows every year while "maintaining the prestige" and cutting staff.

I'm afraid I will never understand the executive brain dysfunction.

Confiscating evidence and burying it under the Hoover Building, no investigation necessary.

If we stopped burning oil today, entirely, worldwide, the environment should stabilize around temperatures in about 10 years. That'd be a start. That figure also assumes the arctic permafrost hasn't thawed far enough to keep pushing temps itself.

But yes I've read timelines of 100+ years to see real improvement.

I'll need you to boot up your favorite racing game and try to understand how incomparable a 2 ton EV that zips straight is to a sports car. Driving dynamics of EVs suck and will continue to suck until they can get battery weight down.

Well fuck. A lot of the OG decks are getting into battery replacement time, this is unfortunate if they really are discontinuing parts. I can't blame valve to stop producing the older hardware but hopefully ifixit can work with them to line up reputable third party suppliers.

What is a bluemaga?

It creates a centralized federal voter database under DHS and would require states to collect ID and use that list to decide if someone can vote. I'll let you draw your own conclusions why republicans want this.

What is wrong with people?

The states are dealing with a cyclospora parasite outbreak.

Taco bell is actually being responsible pulling items prematurely, because there is still no information where it originated or how it's spreading.

Edit- worth mentioning the CDC used to proactively track this parasite, but toddler in chief dropped that program last year.

With the cuts to USAID, domestic benefits, disaster relief, climate initiatives and such, I'm not entirely sure we can objectively say he hasn't killed millions. Maybe not loading people to the showers, but the consequences of their policies have to be tallying up.

Okay, it says they're not collecting subsidies - how is this sustainable exactly?

Edit - oh I see it only has to survive until the midterms, while likely running other gas stations out of town. Brilliant plan.

I've lived here over a decade with no shelving in the shower, and I finally bought an organizer! This has been a huge quality of life upgrade, it's great having everything off the floor within reach. The shelving was super easy to install and I feel dumb tolerating the situation for so long.

 
 

The package now goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.
