Walmart frantically distancing themselves from her is another decent indicator that the company at least doesn’t think this is good for their bottom line, especially when a large segment of customers are already boycotting them for caving to the current administration. If the other side starts boycotting them for not caving to the current administration, that’s a) bad for business and b) very funny.
Actually reading the link, he was arrested in 2018. It’s not very exculpatory to say “His CSAM collection wasn’t eight years old, it was only one year old,” but it’s true I guess.
This is a person with the joke user name quentin.quarantino, as a pun on quarantine and Tarantino. I don’t believe they are claiming to be the director.

But if they were just re-using old recordings of her as Peach saying “Yeah!”, there’s every chance she wouldn’t get a call for that at all. Not getting a call back for the new Mario Kart doesn’t immediately mean “I’m not Peach any more,” until the game comes out and it becomes clear they haven’t used archive recordings and somebody else is Peach in it.
On the day before launch, she was basically Schrodinger’s Peach: “I haven’t recorded any new lines for this one, so I’m either in this game via archive recordings or I’ve been replaced.” She doesn’t need a phone call for either of those to be true.
I feel like Mario Kart is a bit ambiguous, there’s always the potential they could just re-use voice work from a previous entry rather than bringing all the actors in to go “Whoa! Ha-ha-ha. Luigi number one!” I don’t know if they still do this, but in the N64 era a lot of the same samples were used for Mario Kart, Mario Party, maybe other stuff, so the actors wouldn’t have been involved after the original recording sessions.
You might be thinking of Mbin, the other one of the “big three” (more like big one and the other two). Mbin’s biggest differentiating feature is microblog support. It’s hard to boil PieFed down to one main feature compared to Lemmy/Mbin, but anonymous voting and de-duplication of reposts might be the main ones. However, its focus is still on the (Lemmy-style) threaded side of the fediverse.
The web site has a list of differences between Lemmy and PieFed:
This list isn’t exhaustive; one major feature that’s not listed there is de-duplication, where reposts all get combined into a single post with a split comment section (one for each individual post).
The security guard has since been fired and the police have opened a criminal investigation.
It’s marginally less confusing when you see the whole series instead of just this one grandmother poster. Each one has a list of bullets describing a person, with the one thing they all have in common being “Uses drugs”.
“Can’t do an accent? Talk like C-3PO instead.”

His Tenacious D bandmate, Kyle Gass, made a joke about assassinating Donald Trump. Black put out a statement criticizing and distancing himself from Gass while also placing the band on hiatus, cancelling a then-ongoing world tour. People feel he threw a longtime friend under the bus in order to protect his public image.
Not sure this is a leopards ate my face situation, she bought while the stock prices were down and has profited greatly from the recovery since tariffs were paused. This is a big win for her.
I did read it. The Tumblr blog is what was reported to police, leading to his arrest in 2018, roughly a year after the offending began. The original commenter was under the mistaken impression that his offenses went undetected until 2025, or roughly eight years. I corrected a misunderstanding about years.
