Update on Phloebiana Jones:

WDW_Pro, Valliant Renegade, and ThatParkPlace.com: "Chaos" at Lucasfilm; Disney executives have been playing the blame game for the Indiana Jones disaster since the first box office numbers came in last night, arguing with each other late into the night.

Jonas J. Campbell reports there is actual internal pressure for Kathleen Kennedy to spare the company further stress, and voluntarily resign.

He claims that the people responsible for making the movie are trying to blame its failure on the those who marketed it. There are "factions" forming to blame either the film itself (and Kathleen Kennedy) or claim the hundred million dollars+ in marketing just wasn't enough. He says the head of all of Disney studios, Alan Bergman, wants Kennedy out. Meanwhile he says some female executive, Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, is fighting for Kennedy to keep her job. I guess she's blaming the marketing.

Boy, LucasFilm sure has had a lot of bad "marketing" since Kathleen Kennedy has been running things, huh?

Update: Alan Bergman and Dana Walden are apparently co-chairs of Disney Entertainment, which overseas all of the studios.

WDW_Pro points out that while the media have been covering for, propping up, and spinning for Kathleen Kennedy (and Disney) for years, the stink is now too much to ignore. They'll have to start admitting the truth about Kathleen Kennedy and Disney.

Guys... I think it's really happening...

THE FIRING
IS FEMALE

I think the real question is now: Is she allowed to pretend she's "moving on to other projects" of her own free will, or does Iger feel forced to make it clear she's being told to resign due to years of poor performance?

If Kathleen Kennedy goes, then the man who enabled her for nine years has to go to: Bob Iger. And Bob Iger has overseen disasters in all the six studios Disney operates.

So maybe he needs to pretend to be decisive executive who's not afraid to fire an employee due to years of terrible performance.

Clarence Thomas rubbishes Affirmative Action Baby KJB:

Accordingly, JUSTICE JACKSON's race-infused world view falls flat at each step. Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everything--good or bad--that happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals' skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism.
JUSTICE JACKSON then builds from her faulty premise to call for action, arguing that courts should defer to "experts" and allow institutions to discriminate on the basis of race. Make no mistake: Her dissent is not a vanguard of the in-nocent and helpless. It is instead a call to empower privileged elites, who will "tell us [what] is required to level the playing field" among castes and classifications that they alone can divine. Post, at 26; see also post, at 5--7 (GORSUCH, J., concurring) (explaining the arbitrariness of these classifications). Then, after siloing us all into racial castes and pitting those castes against each other, the dissent somehow believes that we will be able--at some undefined point--to "march forward together" into some utopian vision. Post, at 26 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). Social movements that invoke these sorts of rallying cries, historically, have ended disastrously.
Unsurprisingly, this tried-and-failed system defies both law and reason. Start with the obvious: If social reorganization in the name of equality may be justified by the mere fact of statistical disparities among racial groups, then that reorganization must continue until these disparities are fully eliminated, regardless of the reasons for the disparities and the cost of their elimination. If blacks fail a test at higher rates than their white counterparts (regardless of whether the reason for the disparity has anything at all to do with race), the only solution will be race-focused measures. If those measures were to result in blacks failing at yet higher rates, the only solution would be to double down. In fact, there would seem to be no logical limit to what the government may do to level the racial playing field--outright wealth transfers, quota systems, and racial preferences would all seem permissible. In such a system, it would not matter how many innocents suffer race-based injuries; all that would matter is reaching the race-based goal.
Worse, the classifications that JUSTICE JACKSON draws are themselves race-based stereotypes. She focuses on two hypothetical applicants, John and James, competing for admission to UNC. John is a white, seventh-generation legacy at the school, while James is black and would be the first in his family to attend UNC. Post, at 3. JUSTICE JACKSON argues that race-conscious admission programs are necessary to adequately compare the two applicants.
As an initial matter, it is not clear why James's race is the only factor that could encourage UNC to admit him; his status as a first-generation college applicant seems to contextualize his application. But, setting that aside, why is it that John should be judged based on the actions of his great great-great-grandparents? And what would JUSTICE JACKSON say to John when deeming him not as worthy of admission: Some statistically significant number of white people had advantages in college admissions seven generations ago, and you have inherited their incurable sin?

As rioters looted stores, burned down buildings, and set fire to dozens of cars, French Emmanuel Macron wen to an Elton John concert.

Of course he did.

Via John Sexton, NBC "News" reports on all the sad leftwing brokeasses who are butthurt and assmad that they'll have to pay off the loans they took.

Among the most upset about the Supreme Court's decision are the nearly 20 million people, according to the Biden administration, like Joy Morales-Bartlett who stood to have their debts fully canceled.
"It's disheartening," said Morales-Bartlett. "We've done the right things this whole time, and we are being punished for it."
With a remaining balance of $19,000, the 47-year-old former teacher was looking forward to seeing her decadeslong journey toward repaying $89,000 in student loan debt finally come to an end.

She did all the right things, except for actually repaying her lenders.

Sexton comments:

Another disappointed borrower, Nick Marcil, racked up $20,000 for an undergraduate degree and a master's degree in education. But he's not a teacher. Instead he's now working as a community organizer for a group that seeks to cancel student debt. "Certainly, this is a gut punch feeling, but one by a court that continues to show its illegitimacy and lack of ethics," he told NBC News. Calling the Supreme Court illegitimate because they are making you pay your own debts is the height of ethics I guess.

Biden is promising another extraconstitutional executive order to "protect" borrowers and to transfer money to them from his non-voters (the taxpayers who don't borrow more than they can pay). But he hasn't disclosed the details yet. He's just claiming he already planned his backup strategy out, and is just waiting for the right moment to spring it on us.

Biden is famously a 12th-dimensional genius, you know. He's totally not bullshitting that he already has a plan. No, not at all.

Sure, Disney has billions in physical assets, but $890 Billion in negative cash flow, and the destruction of their top IP because their "leadership" forces leftist pablum down viewer's throats is criminal. It can't continue, but will, until they crash and burn.

Of course, the stockholders that own this pig, the Vanguards and Blackrocks of the world, couldn't give a sh*t about it, because they are in on the CCP/Davos messaging.

If the student loan forgiveness had not been shot down by SCOTUS there is no way the democrats would have left students on the hook for paying taxes on that income. The irs would have "waived" those taxes in a heartbeat.

How about we compromise, and if someone wants to discharge their student loan, they do it like everything else and declare bankruptcy. Then, the bank claims ownership of the asset (the degree)? It's still a great deal for the "student", right? They still have all the knowledge and experiences, and the actual degree obviously didn't help land a decent paying job, so it's no loss...right?

If you make regular payments on student loan debt, the interest ends up about one-third of the principal. But the problem is that these people aren't paying that, or even anything. So the interest keeps piling up.

My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

Take some time to look up Reagan’s quotes. You’ll be glad you did.

It’s the anti -depressive

We had a guy come in the Navy as a Nuke with student loan repayment plan as a guarantee.

After his six year obligation was over he didn't owe a dime in student loans and left the Navy with a marketable skill and money in his pocket.

100% disagree. Two cops are right next to the car, one is physically on the hood. They didn't watch him go, then fire a shot at the fleeing vehicle that was already away from them. They fired a shot into the car from the front as the car was racing forward with the cop on the hood.

Of course it's logical! You know why they don't? Becasue a huge number of students would declare bankruptcy immediately after graduation, when they have no assets to attach. Then, recognizing that it's insane to lend money to people with no assets and iffy job prospects, the whole concept of loans for tuition would be scrapped, just like it was before all this idiocy started in the 60's and 70's.

226 @160: "Maybe someone at Twitter instituted the mandatory sign ..."

The mandatory sign in has come and gone over the last two years. It seems like they're A/B testing how many users sign up, find a workaround, or just stop visiting. In the past, sometimes it only affected mobile users, or desktop users, or could be circumvented by a simple private browsing mode switch, etc. Twitter has been blocking search functionality without login for several weeks now. It comes and goes in waves.

Twitter has been one of the most permissive social media sites for unregistered users. Instagram locks down almost everything. Facebook too, and they've loosened up in recent month, but they were the worst offender for a long time. I suspect this newest lockdown will ease up eventually, but maybe not anytime soon.

They might also be testing how much bot traffic keeps throwing itself against the wall without changing behavior.

235 I took out two student loans: one when I was a young idiot and another more recently. I'll talk about the second one first...

I got trapped in a dead end job I couldn't get out of. I decided that one way to help was to go back to school and get a master's in a useful subject. I did that. I got the loan and set aside the money from it that I didn't use for tuition. After I graduated (top of my class), I got a new job at a $20,000 salary increase. Yay! I had also learned how to calculate loan costs and repayment periods (love Excel). I created my own repayment plan based on when I wanted to be done with the loan. Paid back the unused portion immediately, and paid the monthly payments dutifully at a much higher amount than was "recommended" by the lending agency. After five years, I'll have it paid off.

Now about loan number one...

I'll finish in a slightly later post.

241 Regarding the link to John Sexton's "all the sad leftwing brokeasses that are butthurt" article, it's hilarious to me as a guy who worked my a@@ off, served my country and while serving my country attended a community college (in a really good community college system) for two years and which I learned so much that helped me in my life.

Although I'm not credentialed with a four year degree from some Ivy League school, I retired three years ago at the age of 56 with no debt and a seven figure retirement.

Through hard work, discipline, sacrifice (that's key) and determination I learned to work hard and it paid off. Anyone can do it. Just focus and WORK. Life isn't easy.

Posted by: runner at June 30, 2023 07:15 PM (V13WU)

I'm sure it varies by Justice. It was widely noticed, for example, that both Rhenquist and Thurgood Marshall were virtually comatose for the last couple of years before they kicked the bucket, so clearly their staffs were the ones writing the opinion. However, with someone like Clarence Thomas, you read his opinion and you can sense his distinct literary and intellectual style in everything that goes out under his name, so I believe he, for one writes all of his own stuff with limited assistance from staff.

255 Here’s an idea: instead of whining for the government to cancel your student loan debt ($89,000 in student loan debt to become a teacher???), the better idea is to sue the schools who ripped you off by not giving you a civics education.

Not that I would support such a thing (hell no, I paid off my student loans), but a bill to have the government forgive student loan debt must originate in Congress and be signed into law by the President. The President, according to a mystery document called the Constitution, cannot rule by decree.

If those poor dears actually were educated they would actually know that.

270 Okay... About Loan No. 1:

I was an idiot who hadn't learned the ways of interest and lending companies' repayment schedules. They want to make the most money off of you. D'uh. I just knew I got a little booklet every year with a coupon to tear out and submit with the check for the amount they scheduled me to pay. I did this month after month and year after year. And didn't really think about it. But then, after fifteen years, money got tight and I started really budgeting. I kept an Excel workbook of ALL the money I earned and ALL the money I spent. And I realized that even though I sent a $238 check every month, my loan amount barely went down. And it dawned on me that they were stringing me out for a thirty year repayment period. Which pretty much doubled the amount I was going to pay them.

This whole "loan forgiveness" thing and the "loan forbearance" because of COVID has been a total pain in the ***. Neither of the loan companies will let me do automatic payment while it is going on. But I still make payments -- and I'll have them both paid off in about a year and a half. One will be after five years of making payments. One will be after about twenty years.

Interestingly he had a commitment from the Army to pay for him to attend law school after boot camp (1962) but it was revoked because of the Berlin Wall crisis and he was called to active duty after commissioning to West Germany. He was posted to the Third Armored Division in Frankfurt, but he also did at least one Four Power Inspection tour of East Berlin in the Russian sector shortly after JFK was assassinated.

Agreed! Also, most of these debtors graduated around the time I finished my certification classes. I managed to pay off student debt and a mortgage by working side jobs and penny-pinching.

They should have made some headway during 15 years, unless they took on more debt at higher rates.

276 Conclusion: I just wish I'd learned about the payment schedule when I took out the first student loan. Because I'd've paid a heck of a lot more over time and I'd've gotten it paid off in less than ten years. At least with Loan No. 2, I knew the roots and planned it out so that it was going to be a five year payment plan. (Provided that it did help me get a better paying job. Which it did. And it was very likely to do so.)

On a side note: I met someone getting an MSW from NYU. Really. That's a hell of a lot of tuition for a job that doesn't have much financial return. At least when I went back to school, I went to an affordable one. I compared tuitions at the different programs. One was outlandish. I knew I'd get a better paying job with the degree, but it'd've been YEARS before I'd've been able to earn a salary high enough to pay off THAT school's tuition. And it was for an online master's program.
