The day I realised my husband had changed the locks after I had an affair - and was left pounding on the door pleading, sickened and furious

I... wow. Honestly, the amount of narcistic self-delusion in this article is off the charts. I mean, it's no hard political or social topic but the writer's personal delusion, but man, what a cunt with zero accountability and introspection. Our journalist class in action.

Change the genders and if it was a woman who did it to a man that cheated on her you better belive people would celibrate that shit.

The New York Times Review of The Little Mermaid echoes many of the criticisms voiced by Conservative outlets on the remake in that it lacks in the joy, fun, mystery and is a shallow retread of the beloved animated film.

Oh and that it also misses out on the 'kink' of the original film.

No indication as of yet as to why New York Times reviewer Wesley Morris used the term 'kink' in regards to a Childrens movie and why the remake was lacking in it and bringing it up as an apparent negative.

So...my daughter went to go see this last night with her Aunt and cousin. My daughter and her cousin both left the movie in the middle to hang out in the arcade because it was that bad. Her Aunt stayed because, I think, she just couldn't leave after having paid for it.

The movie is SO bad that kids are walking out on it.

The best film adaptation of the original story I've seen is the one Toei Animation released in 1975.


That one stays true to the original story and in the end the mermaid does not get the Prince.

Why? Disney is bleeding money and not even Blackrock has pockets deep enough to keep dumping money into them?
Because the people in charge of making these decisions have been doing this for long enough that it's become second nature to them, and they're arrogant/narcissistic enough that they just assume that the money will always be there because think they deserve it for being better than everyone else.

I think there are some on the film’s creative team who see it as a sacred duty to push propaganda. The suits meanwhile are still such dinosaurs that they labour under the delusion of any of this being profitable. Either that or they let HR grow like a weed and now find their balls in a vice.

Stupid God damn Neolibs.
No it is sound financially, short term. Large companies benefit from fantastic ESG loan rates far more then any amount of customer interaction. For decades companies have gambled and been right that any short term sales drop from running ESG mandated social engineering would be more then made up for by the advantageous loan rates.

It's going to interesting to see if a populist backlash against companies is capable of doing enough serious long term damage to outweigh the seemingly limitless farleft ESG money.

Even ESG money is not infinite and since we all know its more or less stolen from taxpayers well that money can be cut off.

The left as it exists now exists as a tick sucking blood from the american tax payer, nut up cut off their money supply and a lot of the worst aspects of it a lot of their power dies.
