Something we can all agree on

I can’t say exactly what Walt would’ve thought about the company but I’m sure he would be blown away by the fact that Disney Brothers Studio has become the most powerful entertainment company in the world, in large part thanks to Bob Iger.

You’ve clearly never seen how Elon works. It’s more likely that two shower a day Bob with his fragile ego is livid that he’s getting this much negative attention.

Who’s in the stronger position? Elon with billions of dollars, many successful companies, millions of fans and one of the biggest microphones in the world, or Bob with a company on fire and in complete disarray ?

Elon is making an example out of Bob.

If it wasn’t for this forum, I would’ve never heard about Elon’s comments. Outside of my love of Disney, I couldn’t care less about this situation.

Is Disney on fire? News to me. Free cash flow is expected to return to $8 billion this fiscal year.

I think Elon might be worried about destroying his reputation as a company builder. That $44 billion investment is looking pretty puny these days. Not that he should care, he’s sitting very pretty, regardless. Nonetheless, money can’t buy everything it seems.

Yup, Elon’s nailing it.

How’s Twitter’s value looking?

X is a toy for him. Don’t keep underestimating him.

Iger LAUGHS at all of this. C'mon,..Disney is "HIS" company, just like X is Musk's company.

Iger does not give a damn what Musk thinks or what ANYbody thinks about his CEO position. Iger has a rock solid, firm grip on his company and has an absolute firm grip on his board too. There is nothing anybody will do to stop that. (not even you Peltz) Again,..I'm certain Iger is laughing at all this supposed "bad news" behind the scenes.

None,...of....this....stuff....matters....one....BIT!

All these "haters" might as well give up now. They will not change anything at Disney unless "Iger" want's it changed.

Sorry if I’m missing something obvious, but these are all very commonly used in the UK.

A bit off fun when you guys get stuffy;

contractions
Do not overuse contractions such as aren’t, can’t, couldn’t, hasn’t, don’t, I’m, it’s, there’s and what’s (even the horrific “there’ve” has appeared); while they might make a piece more colloquial or easier to read, they can be an irritant and a distraction, and make a serious article sound frivolous. They also look horrible

Again don’t look too deep into it, poking fun at the Colonists and our mangling of the language in the eyes of the Mother Country which in turn pokes fun at the stuffy English.

I know you’re also fond of our usage of when we’ve “drug something” as in dragged something around.

To be fair, what you're quoting is a newspaper style guide (the New York Times gives the same advice). It doesn't represent how Brits speak or write informally!

Some usages (like "drug" for "dragged") do indeed seem odd to me, but in several ways (in its use of the subjunctive, for example), American English is actually "purer" than what we've ended up with in the UK. But rest assured: when it comes to the contractions you listed, we use them just as often as you guys do!

One of the greatest social media apps ever is now ranked #75 in the App Store. Meanwhile, Threads is booming at #2 in the App Store.

Things are going so well. By the way, Threads is pretty good! Better than Twitter in its current state. I deactivated my Twitter account because of all the extremist content I was being fed by their new algorithm.
