The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

So Elon Musk basically gave the the Twitter Board of Directors two options.

1-Sell Twitter to Elon Musk lock, stock, and barrel

2-Watch the Twitter stock price sink a like a stone.

This will be interesting to watch. A lot of Twitter's employees and decision makers value activism more than money.

Also, I'm pretty sure if Elon Musk takes over Twitter, he will replace most/all of the board and some/most/all of the rank and file employees.

I am not an oracle of financial markets, but if Elon Musk does buy all of Twitter, at the premium he is paying for it, I cannot imagine he will be able to make all his money back. I don't think it's going to bankrupt Elon, but I think his net worth will take a modest hit when Twitter's hoard of duplicate accounts gets revealed.

Clownfish TV has some good analysis here. Compared to their usual standards, this video is succinct (admittedly a low bar).


EDIT: If I had 43 billion dollars to play with, I would not buy Twitter. I would create a media giant. First I would buy the rights to Futurama for however millions that costs. Then I would name my new multi-media conglomerate Bender Studios. Because I'm going to build my own media company, with black jack....and you know the rest.

Lots of adrenaline packed action movies and spy thrillers. Dealing with villains that are sex traffickers, organ traffickers, industrial espionage conductors, environmental polluters, and the like. Plus documentaries. Plus kid shows with softer allegorical villains but you get the idea. The CCP or an allegory of the CCP is usually the villain. Or for more cerebral things, the villains will be lying domestic abusers and/or cry bullies.

And of course push my own material (which I'm going to try to do without billions of dollars)

If Disney was willing to sell the IP, I might buy Winnie the Pooh. I could have some fun with that...

 

Ah, very appropriate. I'll take a seat.

 

I remember Alyssa Milano saying women in California should withhold sex from their husbands and boyfriends in order to put pressure on Alabama lawmakers on legislation she opposed.

I enjoyed the Ancient Greek play Lysistrata, but I don't think that tactic would work here.

Regardless of your opinion on the law in question. That is a really dumb means of political activism.

I like Alyssa Milano's earlier work. I'll admit I watched a lot of Charmed. She was also a guest star on a huge number of drama shows I liked such as Castle and My Name is Earl. She even used to have a sense of self deprecating humor making a live action cameo on Family Guy.

I am willing to separate the art from the artist here. I'm not going to boycott her work because I don't like the crazy misandrist things she has been saying since 2016. I pity her if anything.

 

So I've seen and read a few reviews for Morbius.

Reviews seem to range between "Really bad" and "barely okay".

But one thing that is consistent is "At least Morbius isn't woke."

So maybe "Get woke, go broke" is not reversible.

"Avoid woke, become rich" is not a sure thing.

 

I will leave this here...

 

I have been watching the Amber Heard updates closely, but I haven't been posting them here. I didn't see the point, I figured anyone on this forum who is actually interested doesn't need me to point videos out to them.

The optics are not looking good for Amber Heard but her lawyers are competent. They got Amber Heard's ex-gf disqualified as a witness on the technicality that she watched Youtube Videos on the trial which is a win for AH because her AH hit her ex-gf. So now in the context of the court, it will be difficult to establish to the jury that AH is a repeat offender for domestic abuse.

I think it's funny that the AH's lawyers pushed for both Amber Heard and Jonny Depp not be allowed to sign autographs outside the courtroom. They know perfectly well that no one wants AH's autograph and it would be embarrassing to have JD sign autographs for a long line of fans.
