By making a corporate statement about shit like the NC bathroom bill
Which they did because they think it's bad for business. Shockingly, they've been joined in this statement by many other large corporations.
BLM-affirming stuff some NFL team did
ie, not ESPN.
So, to recap: one mild corporate statement, and ESPN is now irredeemably "progressive", and further, that is the reason for their demise, not because (like many a fat corp before them), failing to anticipate that their rent-seeking strategy was not infinitely viable.
There aren't any, that's the point. All any TV network cares about is eyeballs and ad revenue. Trying to tie them down ideologically is a fruitless task.
Man, you're so committed to the crap that gets fed to you on your email list that you're willing to face ridicule by positing a completely orthogonal theory to the TFA. I mean, fuck Bill Simmons, he only worked there, right?
This is why I generally stick to FPS'. Even if I don't have a lot of time to budget, I can still squeeze in 30 minutes here and there to frag a few idiots.
The WHOLE POINT was that people don't appreciate great music.
Right, and then you used Joe Satriani, who's not exactly fucking mainstream (and soulless, to boot) as your example for such.
Your criticism that I should not choose music by a virtuoso
Not what I said. What I said was using a guy who can play the scales really really fast might just be a tad too fucking niche to engage a random group of people, let alone use that anecdote as some sort of proof that no one has any taste anymore.
Not to mention the fact that you didn't even use his best tune! (I don't know what it is, but it ain't satch fucking boogie!)
As someone who thinks Donald trump is one of the more useless pieces of shit to grace this planet, this is actually fairly sound policy. More of this and less bitching on Twitter, please.
It's not a conspiracy theory, it's called Planned Obsolescence, and it's been going on since the fifties. Point being, there's no upside for manufacturers to make anything that lasts more than a few years.
You're one of those oversaturated shysters whose market value is actually going down.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but we've been at nice, steady growth for 12 years now. It's other lawyers shutting up shop, not us. Then again, we didn't get into the biz for money...
But you go ahead and stick to your generalizations, they obviously keep you warm at night.
I'll be sure to pass that little info nugget along to all the battered wives and blue collar workers fucked over by their employers we've represented over the decades. Should be good for a laugh or two.

"Fuck you, we got ours!"
Sure, if it was some nameless exec VP. But Simmons was talent, not management.

Anything that doesn't conform to rigid conservative dogma gets excommunicated and called "progressive". It's really that simple.

Kudos to your brass balls.

You obviously have no idea who Satriani is
Because we differ on the size of his contribution to culture and what his best song is? That's thin gruel there, mate.

Right, now onto your latent racism...
One of the most accomplished guitarists of all time, with more skill and knowledge of music theory than you will ever have
"I'll take 'shit we weren't arguing about for $500, Alex.'"
should be derided by an ignorant douche such as yourself
"Oh noes! A prole!"
Now, let's get back to your logical fallacy and your latent racism, shall we?
"Bar audience misses short flub from local band, anecdote tortured to death in order to prove unrelated point."
Your point would have been better illustrated were it not built around the apotheosis of boring guitar wankery. Your group reacted sanely.
If they don't hear about crack and hoes and how the front man is da bestest cause he gets his money ridin' dirty it has no value at all.
ROFLMAO! You forgot to tell us to get off your lawn...
"Fuck you, human, only your money matters."

Nah. You're still in the clear.

Never seen a single word do so much heavy lifting...
Conservatives are all over state's rights when it comes to guns, abortion, religion and confederate monuments. Anything else? LAWBREAKERS!!!!
The new aircons that dehumidify before cooling are great. We keep the house at 78 in the summer with no problems.

Lawyering is cover for influence peddling.

Keep innovating, Microsoft!
Depends how the trust agreement is structured.
Yawn. iCloud opt-out is trivial.
As a content producer, I'm pretty sure Netflix is quite happily part of the Cartel and its walled garden policies that enhance profits.
