Updates: Tape of Tara Reade's Mother on Larry King Live Found;
Is the "Female-Centric" Star Wars Leak a Political Game to Get Twitter SJWs to Save a Show That's About to be Defunded?
Here is the audio of what is believed to be Tara Reade's mother calling Larry King to ask what to do about a "prominent senator" giving his daughter an unspecified problem.
On the Kathleen Kennedy/"Leslye" Headland Soy Wars Revenge of the Lesbians series: Midnight's Edge speculates, but quite plausibly, that someone from Kathleen Kennedy's camp or Leslye Headland's camp leaked this to keep Bob Iger and Bob Chapik from canceling it. He speculates that the idea was to get the Twitter Cat Ladies obsessed with the idea of another female-centric Star Wars project (which they won't pay money to see, but they like the idea of taking something from boys) so that Iger and Chapik would know that they have to keep on funding this trainwreck or feature blowback from Kathleen Kennedy's trained Cat Ladies. It's plausible. It's even more plausible when you remember that Kathleen Kennedy's contract renewal was also revealed by an anonymous leak. See, Disney did not want to announce that publicly. If they wanted to announce it, they would have announced it. They wanted to keep it quiet because the Star Wars IP was on fire with controversy, with most demanding Kathleen Kennedy's resignation, but the Twitter Addict Cat Ladies demanding she be given an award for destroying a boy's adventure franchise. Disney had no interest in making this contract renewal public -- but Kathleen Kennedy sure did. She was tired of, for example, Grace Randolf reporting that Bob Iger wanted to fire her -- and only kept her on because no one wanted the job as head of Lucasfilm. She didn't like people thinking of her as a dead woman walking, so she leaked the contract renewal -- which Disney had given to her on the condition she keep quiet about it -- to Variety. That's the speculation -- and it's some damn convincing speculation. And here we are with another leak involving the Kathleen Kennedy Grrrl Power camp winding up in Variety. Meanwhile, Clownfish -- who've worked with Disney animation -- report rumors that "the two Bobs" (Iger and Chapik) are "furious" about this latest leak that seems to have been leaked to again boost Kathleen Kennedy's power. They point out that Hollywood is about to exercise a lot of force majeure contract terminations. Coronavirus counts as an Act of God, and you don't have to honor a contract if external events make it impossible or impractical for you to do so. Hollywood is going to use the force majeure clause to terminate every contract they regret having made (and a fair number of ones they still would rather keep). I've heard someone report that it's going to be "a bloodbath." That strange groaning you heard was my pulsating erection attempting to speak its first word. Anyway, when you think about this deal with this shovel-faced feminist cow, and consider that Disney just floated six billion in new debt to get it through a few months, and will have to float even more billions in debt to stay afloat... ...and that they expect their theme parks and cruise ships to be shut down at least through early 2021... ...and are furloughing thousands of workers and looking for more ways to save money... Well, one has to imagine that "Cut that stupid lesbian Star Wars show" has to eventually be an idea that strikes the two Bobs. So maybe Kennedy or Headlands leaked story that this stupid show exists (if only as a notion), so that the SJWs will save it from a force majeure termination. If that's what happened, I'd say whoever did this just gave Disney the last justification needed to fire their asses, and I don't think the Twitter Cat Ladies could save them. But Disney is a PC, c**k organization that only exists to instill children with leftwing propaganda, so maybe this will all work out for Kennedy and/or Headlands.Comments

Sports-wise, I actually love hockey and baseball, and I like football, but I find I miss it very little when I don't see it. I love the spectacle, and get caught up in the moment, but it's fleeting, and a week later I can't remember who won the World Series.
As for Hollywood, most of the new stuff is garbage, and I have rather large DVD/Blu-ray collection, so I can basically run movie and TV show collection for the rest of my life and not get bored, because they are all shows I like.
I am tired of celebrities whining and bloviating about how they are dealing with it. Probably better than me, sitting in my home office in my dining room in my 1800 square foot house. Boo fucking hoo.
thanks for listening.

Since Trump, she has become an entirely different person. Has no problem insulting me and others who dare say anything that can be construed as critical toward Trump or what he does, no matter how seemingly innocuous the comment about him. It has completely changed what once was a wonderful respectful mom/son relationship.
Yes, we were saved from certain destruction when avoiding Cankles but I'm here to tell you our family suffered a heavy price. And with a fresh Trump election coming, its 2016 all over again

Since Trump, she has become an entirely different person. Has no problem insulting me and others who dare say anything that can be construed as critical toward Trump or what he does, no matter how seemingly innocuous the comment about him. It has completely changed what once was a wonderful respectful mom/son relationship.
Yes, we were saved from certain destruction when avoiding Cankles but I'm here to tell you our family suffered a heavy price. And with a fresh Trump election coming, its 2016 all over again

I am taking this as a serious question and giving what would seem logical to me.

No. That is not what I have experienced at all, not to deny your experience or anything.
I am going through a divorce now, and when I'm asked why, I always say it's "because I don't hate Donald Trump." I've said this to thirty or forty people. About a quarter of those have immediately started spewing bile at me and ranting about how awful Trump is as a president, as a person, and as a lump of protoplasm. Although a couple of people have made generally positive statements about Pres Trump, no one has made comments about how you can't express any criticism of him.
This makes for a rather stark contrast.

Star Wars wasn't measured in money. It was measured in cultural impact. It was measured by how long geeks had stood in line waiting for the opening of the next film, and how many news crews were there to cover the colorful geeks in that line. That is how you measured Star Wars and you don't just kill something like that easily..........and you don't just breathe life back into it once you've killed it.

Star Wars was very clever in that they created all sorts of non-movie content, and also expanded into Lego. Not just Lego kits (and there are a ton) but Lego cartoon and video games. This built an entire Gen Z fan base from which to draw box office sales with the latest trilogy and 2 spin-off movies, plus Netflix. I have a 17 year old niece who is a SW mega fan.

It's not the destruction of a beloved setting. As far as I'm concerned, the originals are safe and pure.
No, what takes another layer of enamel off my teeth is the fact that there are talented writers out there who are denied work because of this crap.
It's not a "market failure," it's a cartel. It shuts down creativity and attacks anyone who wants to do something fun and exciting.

Nerds don't give a damn about the normies and the filthy casuals liking their stuff. That's also not who these franchises are attracting. They're catering to the psycho feminists and their white knight cucks on twitter because those are the dipshits running their marketing departments and such. That's why shows like Batwoman and Supergirl have seen such major dips in viewership from the beginning of the year and all other DC shows have as well. You're not even appealing to the general audience with this garbage now.

That would probably work quite well.
Except have you actually seen Navy Berthing?
They are stacked on top of each other literally and figuratively. Their space for personal possessions is measured in cubic inches.
I worked with a bunch of Navy Nukes. They had no privacy, no personal space, and sometimes literally hot bunked. But they were devoted to the mission. I don't know how the rest of the US Military would have done in a war with USSR, but the US Submarine Force would have swept the seas.
I have no doubt that even sick, the sailors on the Roosevelt would have rushed to reboard the ship and sail if they were actually needed in a fight.
There was no reason that after they tied the ship up to the pier in Guam that they couldn't have evacuated the ship to quarantine and stop the infections----Except face and politics.
Captain Crozier knew he was killing his career. He felt the safety of his crew was worth his career.

Worked out for him and the town the same time the nearby nuke plant got wet. Planning for what is inevitable is not fun usually, but must be done.

They kind of do - the put them where they disinfect the coils where most of the slime is.

Also, my parents accidentally bought me a synth version of the soundtrack. I wonder what that would be worth today?

In the U.S. at least, the Johns Hopkins data resolution is at the county level.

Avocados ... Try mashing a half, stir in a dab of mayo, mix with a chopped HB egg, and spread on half a toasted English muffin. Make a double batch in the morning, eat half for breakfast and the other half as an evening snack.

rd - no I haven't. I've only heard stories ...
I'm thinking out loud because I am wondering why this hasn't been gamed out before ...
Ships, buildings ... everybody -ish has circulating air. How expensive could it be to run some UV LEDs in an air duct ?

I agree. The problem is how do you fit them into a space that literally does not exist?
I would love to put some modern air filtering into my existing furnace and central air conditioning set up, except there is literally no room, except for a 1" filter. The furnace is stuffed ino a corner and surrounded by walls and the water softener and well water accumulator.

As much as I wish it were otherwise, I don't think Star Wars or Star Trek or similar franchises are killable short of them featuring trannies. Nerd culture has metastasized; there's a cohort of it that resembles the crowd who love science sexually. They more or less cannot be turned off by bad movies.

The new Star Wars, Star Trek (and the comic book movies for that fact) are driving out the old fans by attracting Normies and Filthy Casuals.
Nerds enjoy their nerdy hobbies in quiet solitude or in the company of other nerds. The Normies and Filthy Casuals stink things up by bringing their retarded bullshit with them.

most star wars geeks had no issue with casuals. It was a war between the woke and the superfans, with the latter wanting good movies and the woke unable to provide one.
It would not have been impossible to make a female Luke work, but they could not resist the temptation to destroy the old characters, the old plotlines and canon and replace them with the talentless moaning from womens studies courses.
Even as recently as Harry Potter you could have a female wizard be just as good or better as the lead without a lot of issues. But they had to destroy the male characters and leave the female characters empty, dead shells of people.

My UV germ cleaner is inside the furnace.

Well, maybe. OTOH, it wouldn't surprise me if the two Bobs got hit with the mother of all #MeToos if they did that.... and they realize after Weinstein, Cosby, etc. that there will be enough counts that at least one will stick.
