  1. Is NY an "at will" employment state? If so, it will be very difficult for him to get compensation as the company will claim that his original termination was in-line with the company's policies and he was not singled-out for specific discriminatory treatment.
  2. Ehhhhh - let's not go overboard here. There was absolutely no "mainstream outrage" yet, not even close. This was a pre-emptive strike by Disney to head it off before it got to DEFCON-Roseanne level.
  3. After the Roseanne debacle a "fire first, reflect later" action by Disney really doesn't come as that much of a surprise to me, even if much like that situation, this is a self-inflicted wound.
  4. The come up with an appropriate noun that matches the "theme".
  5. Communism is essentially end-state socialism. On one end of the socialism spectrum, you have the European-style Social Democrats, on the other the Marxists.
  6. I can easily put myself in the position of a Disney executive who just endured the Roseanne debacle and going "fire first, reflect later". It's as simple as that unfortunately from a corporate perspective.
  7. I would've sacked an employee who did something similar without a second thought, especially if I'm an executive in a company with a "family-friendly" image.
  8. A U.S. Treasury report this week appears to show Russia liquidating dollar assets at a record pace, selling four-fifths of its cache of U.S. government debt, $81 billion worth, over a two-month period. It started in April, when the U.S. imposed the most onerous sanctions yet on allies of Putin.
  9. I doubt that it was, but even a satirical tweet of that nature is certainly not something Disney would want to be a part of, even absent the alt-right trolling.
  10. James Gunn has been removed as director of the Guardians Of The Galaxy series after a batch of old social media dispatches were unearthed that touched on areas like pedophilia and rape. He should've been sacked for the boring, bloated mess that was GotG 2 - COME AT ME, BROS!
  11. And this shouts from the highest heavens "Lalalalalala! I'm sticking my fingers in my ears beacuse I don't want to be reminded that I live in a reality where there will be no political price to pay for this." No, I'm not going to stop. In fact, I just might crank it to 11!
  12. Natalia Poklonskaya was appointed the Chief Prosecutor for Crimea after the Russian takeover. She's currently a deputy in the Duma.
