Apropos of nothing, I wonder when Uncle Trump's Presidential Pardon Auction House officially opens for business.

I imagine that from a exec's perspective, this is a slam dunk. He's got three other film adaptations of his books, the blind side (problematic), moneyball (loved it), and the big short (also loved it). Plus, people can't help but fawn over these techbro billionaires, especially when they are depicted in film.

Investigating a user for a sus body shaming post, banning them for a programming drama post. Truly a self at awful dot systems moment. Never change (meaning this sincerely, thanks for the good mod work).

anytime!

Investigating a user for a sus body shaming post, banning them for a programming drama post.

see, I don’t know Lena’s work well enough to know if maybe “she has ballooned” is a multi-layered reference that only looks like shallow, shitty body shaming if you don’t get the in-joke

but I’m online enough to know exactly where they got that Godot dogwhistle from, and it’s not even close to being an innocent mistake
