There are like a million people involved in the production of all disney+ content, do we really think they should all get free accounts? Or does Brie think she's a more important person than the 2nd Key Grip on The World According to Jeff Goldblum?

ROFL, so much triggering over a joke.

I don't really care about joke. Obviously she was joking about asking for a free account. What I found unlikable was the follow-up where she talks about all the "art" she has on their platform. She followed up a joke with a pretentious self-congratulation about how much money they were making (in part) because of her past movies. It was an "I'm just joking, but actually..." kind of comment.

The follow-up was also a joke. You honestly think that she was gloating about a Disney Channel movie that she did when she was a kid?

https://www.joblo.com/movie-news/emilia-clarke-on-performing-nude-scenes-in-early-seasons-of-game-of-thrones

While speaking on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, Emilia Clarke spoke about Game of Thrones at length, particularly what it was like to perform so many nude scenes at the beginning of her career. "My adult life has been the show, it's been 10 years of the show, that's my whole career thus far. I have been doing this at the most fascinating and shifting times for that," Clarke said, noting that the pilot episode likely would have been very different had it been produced in today's climate. "Season 1 was what it was. There was a f**k-ton of nudity," Clarke said. "They sent me the scripts, and I was like, 'Oh, there's the catch.' But I'd come fresh from drama school and was like, 'Approach this as a job, if it's in the script, then it's clearly needed,' so I kind of came to terms with that before hand." Clarke also spoke of her struggles with imposter syndrome, which hit her particularly hard now that she was one of the stars of this huge new series.

https://imgur.com/i7lnoit

I was in such like a, oh my god, other world, I'm floating through this first season, I have no idea what I'm doing, I have no idea what any of this is. I've never been on a film set like this before, I'd been on a film set twice before then, and now I'm on a film set completely naked, with all of these people and I don't know what I'm meant to do, and I don't know what's expected of me, and I don't know what you want, and I don't know what I want. Regardless of whether they'd been nudity, I'd have spent that first season thinking, 'I'm not worthy of requiring anything, I'm not worthy of needing anything at all.'

"It was definitely hard," Clarke said of performing the nude scenes, "which is why the scenes when I got to do them with Jason [Momoa] were wonderful, because he was like, 'No sweetie, this isn't okay!'... Its only now that I realize how fortunate I was with that, because that could have gone many, many, many different ways. Because Jason had experience, he had done a bunch of stuff before coming on to this, he was like, Sweetie, this is how its meant to be and this is how its not meant to be, and Im going to make sure thats the way it goes,"

Clarke explained, adding, "He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being. He took care of me, he really did. In an environment where I didnt know I needed to be taken care of." Things are very different nowadays however, as Clarke said that she's, "a lot more savvy about what I'm comfortable with and what I'm okay with doing. I've had fights on set before where I'm like, 'no, the sheet stays up,' and they're like 'you don't want to disappoint your Game of Thrones fans,' and I'm like, 'f**k you.'" When the time came to perform her last nude scene in season six's "Book of the Stranger," Emilia Clarke said her attitude was, "I'm owning this, this is mine, they've asked me to do it, and I am f**king game," which certainly mirrored the character's frame of mind as well during that moment.

Wow, didn't realize how much of a sweetie Aquaman is. He could've really taken advantage of the situation, and Khaleesi would've been none-the-wiser. No wonder he's still married to one of the hottest women in the planet .

WITHOUT any special tax-free deal from New York State, or New York City.

Oh, and Google is expanding, and Amazon wants to lease a bunch of space as well .

https://ny.curbed.com/2019/11/14/20964639/facebook-hudson-yards-lease-nyc-megaproject

Facebook has officially signed a lease at Hudson Yards, confirming reports from earlier this year. The tech giant confirmed that it will lease more than 1.5 million square feet of office space across 30 floors and three buildings at Hudson Yards: 1.2 million square feet in 50 Hudson Yards; 265,000 square feet in 30 Hudson Yards; and 57,000 square feet in 55 Hudson Yards.

Though 30 and 55 Hudson Yards are already complete, 50 Hudson Yards is still in the works, with completion expected in 2022. BlackRock is 50 Hudson Yardss anchor tenant, according to a release from developer Related Companies.

Facebooks NYC HQ is currently located at 770 Broadway, the former Wanamaker Department Store building, where it leases nearly 700,000 square feet. In a statement, John Tenanes, VP of global facilities and real estate at Facebook, said the company will expand its offices there starting in 2020.

Several other tech companies are planning moves within Manhattan: Google will expand on its already massive Chelsea headquarters with a new building at St. Johns Terminal in the West Village. And while Amazons plan to move its HQ to Long Island City fell apart earlier this year, the company is reportedly scoping out office space in Midtowns Manhattan West megaproject.

I hear this all of the time from many non-black conservatives. They say that America was founded as a Christian nation, and therefore, we must have laws that prioritize Christianity over all other ideologies.

America was ALSO founded as a nation for white men. In fact, the laws of our nation were explicitly written to prioritize white men over all other races and genders.

This idea that America as a nation was meant primarily to serve white men was constantly pushed and supported for over 100+ years up through the 1950s until the Civil Rights movements. It had HUGE political and cultural support from at least 25%-45% of Americans at various times in its history.

So I ask-- If you believe that America is a Christian nation, based on the intent of its origin, then do you also believe that America is a White Man's nation? If you don't, then please explain how the logic doesn't apply to both .

So basically, we'll need to spend hundreds of billions to maintain the wall, man the wall with fast-response security, and drone and sensor electronic surveillance.

I thought Trump was supposed to be an expert on wall construction .

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/03/trump-wall-inpenetrable-wall-saw-rolls-royce/40536857/

Hes building a wall and theyre cutting holes right through it. Migrants and smugglers have succeeded in cutting through President Donald Trumps virtually inpenetrable border wall using cordless saws that cost as little as $100 apiece at hardware stores, border agents and officials told The Washington Post.

Trump administration officials admitted being aware of a few instances in which human smugglers managed to breach rebuilt sections of the $10 billion wall that Trump once promised Mexico would pay for, the paper reported.

The widely available saws can cut through the walls steel bollards within a matter of minutes. The 30-foot-tall panels can then be easily pushed forward, allowing people to pass through. Most of the reported border crossings involving cuts through the wall have occurred in the busy area near San Diego, the paper said.

Past and present border officials insisted the newly reinforced sections of wall are still harder to cut through than they were before. They attributed the new breaches to the constant innovation of smuggling gangs, which amount to a multibillion-dollar industry of sneaking undocumented immigrants into the U.S. Theyre not just going to leave San Diego because the wall gets better, Ronald Vitiello, a former U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief, told the Post. Thats life on the border.

Trump touts the wall as almost impossible to get through and has brought reporters along to show off what he calls the Rolls Royce of walls. He has diverted billions in taxpayer funds that Congress approved for other uses to rebuild sections of the wall after famously vowing that Mexico would pay for it.

For those who don't follow the comics--

https://www.vox.com/2019/9/24/20879975/marvels-house-of-x-5-review-xmen

SPOILERS !!!
SPOILERS !!!
SPOILERS !!!
SPOILERS !!!

The entire premise of both comics was to yank out everything X-Men fans devout and casual knew about the X-Men, all through an expanded role for the previously underused character Moira MacTaggart. In just a handful of issues, writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Pepe Larraz established that after she dies, Moria has the power to reset herself and her own timeline back to the day she gains consciousness (as a fetus), while holding onto all the knowledge, memories, and experience of the life she just lived. The catch is Moira only has up to 11 lives, according to a pre-cog mutant named Destiny, to use this power and to shape mutantkind.

And now, as of issue five, Moira is either on her last or second-to-last life. During her previous nine lives (including a mysterious sixth one that Hickman and Larraz havent told us about yet), Moira achieved some lofty goals: Earths mutants are united and now live on their own sentient country called Krakoa. Theyve seemingly eliminated a future threat, the rise of mutant-killing machines, too. Yet, as House of X has flexed in its previous issues, its when everyones comfortable that we should start getting scared.
___

One of the best things about House of X is how Hickman and Larraz have continually embraced some of the least-known and strangest X-Men characters in recent memory. They did that by focusing on Moiras power and have done it again in the most recent issue.

Thanks to Moiras sacrifice and knowledge gleaned from her ninth life, the X-Men know that humans have started to develop an AI system that will eventually, in the distant future, be an all-powerful mutant-hunting machine. After figuring out when this system goes online, Professor X and Magneto assemble a team of X-Men to go into outer space and destroy the AI (which is out in space) by launching it into the sun. The mission goes south, resulting in the deaths of Jean Grey, Archangel, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Monet, Husk, Mystique, and Wolverine but they do, after sacrificing their lives, end up destroying the AI before it goes online.
___

And yet, Hickman took one of the X-Mens best, dumbest superpowers and finessed it into one of their most powerful. In Hickmans interpretation of Goldballss powers, the gold balls are actually viable biological mutant eggs that can sustain life. Thats much more useful than plain gold spheres.

Add in a mix of healing powers from a mutant named Elixir, time travel from Eva Bell, reality warping from Proteus, synergy from Hope Summers, and some identity and consciousness transplants from Professor X, and the X-Men have essentially figured out how to rebirth the mutants who died in that final mission and any who could die in the future:



There is still a feeling of unease, however. Remaking new mutants after old ones die cant be the status quo of storytelling. Future issues cant just be about the mutants waiting for these gold eggs to hatch. Something has to happen to make this process a bit more complicated, and it feels like it will which is a remarkable way to set up intrigue going forward.

With House of X, Hickman shows that he is constantly thinking of news ways to think about these dead-end beings. Like he did with Moira, Hickman has turned Goldballs and his crew of forgotten X-Men into full-fledged characters with intriguing powers. He and his cohort, along with other forgotten mutants, have seemingly become more powerful, but not to the point where their existence breaks storytelling. To do what Hickman did with these esoteric characters offers fidelity to the larger X-Men canon.

What do you think?

More like you wanting. Fancy ass shit is a privilege. It's crazy how much lavish shit you guys want without paying for it.

2-star restaurants are not fancy at all. 2-star = decent, that's it.

Guys like Thor and his brother are looking for ladies in their 20s without kids like Miley Cyrus.

That is his brother (aka 9/10 Chad).

Thor himself (aka 9.98/10 Super-Mega-Chad) is married to Elsa Pataky.
