  • There’s the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship’s speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the “unsinkable” ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they’re only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he’s partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

    Much more prominent is Rose’s (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a “gutter rat”, responds to “half the people on this ship are going to die” with “not the better half”, tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.





  • I’ve been seeing this headline all week, and didn’t think much of it, since I basically never buy from Amazon. But I’d forgotten they own Twitch. And boy, do I use a lot of Twitch. Unfortunately, in the way of money, it’s pretty much all subscriptions that are already paid for. None of those are coming up for renewal next week, that I could cancel. I could definitely just not watch anything next week, but the union that organized this says they’re looking for drops in sales. Not watching would only contribute to that if I would have been served ads. I’m wondering if I should instead try spread the word of the boycott, in the streams I watch.

    I dunno, what do y’all think?
