Hey vocal.media why not proofread your articles a little better? The first letter is a typo, never seen that before.

Un an interview that's got everyone talking, Robert Downey Jr has finally addressed the elephant in the room; those persistent comparisons between Elon Musk and the character Tony Stark.

Whether Trump denies something or not is unrelated to the truth of a thing.

I’m guessing this because the current investigation is happening under Biden and she is likely to have similar basic antitrust goals for DOJ.

I’m certain that it won’t happen if Trump is elected because he’s anti-regulation in general and specifically he’s extremely corrupt and easily bribed.

It might happen if Harris wins

He lies about everything and it’s been working for him. He doesn’t have the intelligence or temperament to be in charge of anything. He’s just taking advantage of a prisoner’s dilemma where he relies on everyone but himself following laws and rules..

This is a good point.

The people who make the shows are artists. Some artists are better than others, and some works by an artist are better than other works by the same artist. If you listen to music, you don’t usually care if the label is Sony or Universal or whatever. Disney has management who hires the artists but those managers and executives aren’t making the content, good or bad.

On the other hand, Disney does apparently meddle too much to try to use formulas for popularity or whatever. And that can ruin art.

This is exactly what they are saying on a few conservative subreddits I saw today. That the moderators fact checked him about migrants, then when he tried to explain some detail that explained everything they cut his mic.

As if Vance hasn’t famously been lying about the topic for weeks and endangering a whole community.

I’m pretty sure the Atlantic works if you disable JavaScript. For example using the noscript plugin. Also the articles are on archive.org.

This seems to be an advertisement

This is familiar to all devs, not just game devs

I have a theory about this.

Of course, the GOP lies about everything all the time. But this specific strategy of using a silly meme seems to be a weak attempt to copy the memes about Vance and couches. That started from an obvious shitpost but ended up having some real legs because Vance and Trump are so fucking weird and it’s a shorthand for that.

A meme about immigrants eating cats is punching down and isn’t shorthand for anything except to signal that the person spreading it is racist.
