Sure, just as Goebbels warned of existential "threats". I'd say Dorsey would have licked the glove and labored for that group as well -so long as he could sit on his pile of gold afterward.
I would not put the Spanish Moss in the denominator: it needs to be added, within the equation. It's definitely an "add" when you're working with Floyd and John Hurt. Oy, that beard!
Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. I thought about something like Floyd + John Hurt (Moss/$11 billion) = Dorsey, but I thought the moss joke would lose something as the numerator.
🙃First off, the parenthesis is redundant! So, I’d propose (Floyd x Hurt) + 1/moss. Moss remains in the denominator to signify the location of beard on face, but gets added to the product of Floyd and Hurt, where Hurt makes Floyd grayish! 🤓
Matt, we need more equations to make sense of this new media wasteland!
Every time I remember the '90s I am reminded of L. P. Hartley's infamous dictum: "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
Many '90s movies could not get made today. The thing is, I thought the '90s sucked at the time, but I was young and stupid and didn't anticipate just how much worse things were about to get. Damn near a whole decade without the 2-Minutes' Hate and Foreign Adversary Who Is Responsible for All Our Domestic Problems.
Filmmakers were allowed to be batshit crazy and psychotic back then. Today no major studio would finance Requiem For A Dream or Natural Born Killers or Fight Club. Movies today either have to be superhero explosion fests that can have mass appeal to non-English speaking Asian audiences or some kind of woke-bait.
I was shocked when I saw “Joker” last year-it was like going in a way back machine to 90s filmmaking.
Right down to the '90s pastiches of the Easy Riders/Raging Bulls '70s New Hollywood. I will give Todd Phillips credit for wearing his influences openly on his sleeve. In a way, there's a refreshment at the lack of pretense to "originality" when you're reinterpreting a comic-book villain from the 1930s.
Saw Fight Club at a preview screening back in '99. When the skyscrapers came down at the end most of the audience stood up, clapped and cheered. No mas, obviously.
I guess we get this stuff every 20 years or so, but I like it better than the rest of the stuff so I'll take what I can get.
Next step, an AI program to generate the press release quotes attributed to tech CEOs. Then another AI program to do a linguistic analysis to see what they mean. And then a Stephen Wright humidifier/dehumidifier standoff, with the programs running against each other.
I’m gonna say Spanish moss to the power of John Hurt (times Floyd). Cause the beard is clearly the one in charge.
Factor in Ted Kaczynski.
JD is one of those privileged progressive youths Kaczynksi warned us about.

I wish somebody would explain the Miss joke for me. I’m very old and foreign.
Dorsey's beard is the same shape and texture of the Spanish Moss.
Is he Tech Taliban?
I don't know Jack but you have to begrudgingly admire a guy who not only pimp-slaps Congress but also keeps them begging for more.
I loved John Hurt. Can we sub Nick Nolte instead or is that too spot on? Like Rasputin.
You know, when some people convert to Islam and are radicalized...don’t they grow out their beards? Just saying.
His beard's getting so long that he could paint an x and y axis on it and plot a function curve--maybe length of beard relative to size of ego.
Wait... there is no Goebbels?
UniBomber?

There's Jeffery Dahmer DNA lurking in this equation somewhere
Add a "+ amish minister" term inside the parentheses.
Luke Skywalker must also be a factor somewhere in there…
What's True Romance?
A movie where Gary Oldman’s psycho pimp character looked just like Racheal Doleazal!
Never mind LOOKS like... I want to see Rachel Dolezal play the part of pimp herself -complete with gut bucket, 70s blaxploitation tag lines.

If you did an equation with all those terms, I think I have the answer: =0.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Jack Dorsey = Brad Pitt x ZZ Top squared
If you haven't see the Philip Michael's tweet about Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg that is a good laugh
My version:
[(mega tech fortune) + (college days personal hygiene)] * recreational drugs = Jack Dorsey in public
First I'll have to hear Jack Dorsey ask for cleaning products...
Unnamed Close Encounters alien species X ( Jimmy Neutron / Zorg (5th Element) = Mark Zukerberg
