It's not just Tumblr. Verizon bought all the Yahoo stuff because it was available.

That's it. It was an impulse buy. A billion-dollar checkout stand flashlight.

It's got it and now it doesn't know what to do with it.

Given that the Yahoo brand has faltered even further, the Tumblr fiasco ... I'm pretty sure not one single executive at Verizon knew what the hell they were buying.
You know ... they could probably afford it. And it would be a "reputable" site to have in the repertoire.

But it would lead to increased scrutiny, something I think PornHub has been actively avoiding.
OH FFS

Jim Starlin, creator of Thanos, Gamora and Drax, stated he gets more royalties from one movie based on his DC work than all the films featuring his Marvel work.
In fact, just to show you how much a debt the MCU owes to Jim Starlin, he created the Infinity Stones. He also spearheaded the Infinity Gauntlet event (one of the most renowned crossovers in the history of comics) which is the basis for the movie's Infinity Saga.
The comics industry and its Work-For-Hire model was in almost a precursor to the modern hell of the gig economy.

Creators lost any and all rights to anything they created while under contract, and with that potentially millions in royalties from Marvel's billion dollar empire.

Try to break through the basic preconception that life requires winners and losers and you will see people completely lose their shit.

It's like you hit them with a high voltage wire.
Lots of people - lots and LOTS of people - can't drop the idea that their success depends on someone else's failure, even though that's really not true.

It's compounded by the idea of the "loser" either being some faceless, nameless other, or someone who "deserves" to lose.
Here we go:

Okay, so ... you got the job. You therefore won life?

By which metric? Your metric? Is your metric universal? When was that agreed upon? Is that unspoken? If it's unspoken, how is it a metric?

In the midsts of Trump's trade war, "America first" nonsense with China, I'm reminded of what happened when Fender Guitars saved itself from becoming a footnote in history, and why shifting trade around isn't a snap of the fingers.
See, originally Fender was owned by the man himself: Leo Fender, designer of the Telecaster (first mass-produced electric guitar), the Stratocaster, a whole slew of amps and one of the most important people in modern music.

But he got older, and wanted to retire.
In 1965, Leo sold Fender to CBS.

Yup. THAT CBS. The one that still makes NCIS for some weird reason.

CBS also owned some of the largest record labels out there. They wanted to laterally integrate to owning not just the artist's contracts, but the means of production.

Deep Dive: #FTC Negotiating Multi-Billion Dollar Fine For Facebook’s Privacy Scandals; Violating 2011 Accord
#FacebookPrivacyScandal

activistpost.com/2019/02/ftc-ne…
The FTC’s probe of Facebook began in March of last year in response to big social’s entanglement with #CambridgeAnalytica, a political consultancy firm connected to a U.S. subsidiary (SHELL COMPANY) of a UK defense contractor #SCLGroup, (Strategic Communication Laboratories)
#SCL improperly accessed data on 87 million of the social site’s users. According to reports, #Facebook knew for an entire three years that #CambridgeAnalytica was abusing and misusing user data but did absolutely nothing.

Now that Tumblr is shutting down all "adult content", will people finally start paying attention to #SESTA/#FOSTA (and hold the people who created it accountable)?

How many more attacks on queer people and sex workers do we need before people acknowledge that it's a problem?
It's after the election! You're allowed to criticize Democrats now!

Where are all the people who were calling themselves allies and promising that, after the election, they'd work to pressure anti-SW Democrats into supporting sex workers? 🤔
I endured SO much outright abuse - yes, abuse - from (white) liberals and "allies" all year for talking about SESTA/FOSTA.

So yeah, I'm sure as fuck going to call their bluff on the "we'll do the work after the election" promise.

Heres a《thread》on #MumbaiTerrorAttack. If you're looking for official version read Wikipedia. This is an indepth analysis of #MumbaiAttack based on intel reports & ignored facts reported by various media. More detailed explanation can be found in our journal or on our website.
1 David Headley is known to be mastermind of #MumbaiAttack, yet GoI pardoned him & is now in US, why? Headley was a US Drug Enforcement Agency agent working closely with FBI. Why Indian agencies never followed these leads? Inspite of prior intelligence why FBI/NSA/CIA didnt act?
2 Director of National Intelligence James Clapper found that since 2001 US had precise intel on Headley yet they didnt act. Headley was involved not just in #MumbaiAttack but #SamjhautaExpressBlast as well. This intel was provided by one of his ex-wives. archive.indianexpress.com/news/exwife-sp…
