Some people take dystopian sci-fi as a guide and not as a warning.

And drones should have the right to bear arms.

The millions in bribe, erh I mean in a weak ass settlement, weren't enough?

Got to kiss the ring, pay the king and shoot the jester too?

I can't wait for the Lèse-Majestée laws to come next. /s

Right-wing 101: "we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!"

Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.

Just when I warmed up to the idea that NATO was a necessary evil to counter Putin's worse evil.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

"Prosperity Gospel" seems such a copout for cult-leaders to justify getting rich on their congregation.

So much for "eye of a needle"...

That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program [...] but I don’t know anything about programming

As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure. But it depends on how they structure their data but since all the elements are already related, it should be easy to query them all together. I bet they've abandoned it more because the query UI is a bit dense for most. But nothing that could be replaced with a simple textbox that could take any combination of cast/crew/titles and find anything that matches the combination. But they might need to add some specific indexing that would use up additional resources.

Pretty much, closed forums, removed or paywalled features. Right now, they are on yet another iteration of dumbing down the UI to the point of being nearly useless.
