Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Everyone's got a hot take on the infamous Shopify memo… and most of them are missing the point.
