The IATSE voted to go on strike.

When I was in the IATSE at Universal we worked for the Japanese and they paid us the bare minimum wage.

I escorted Phyllis Diller at Bob Hope's Birthday party one year, they paid me the bare minimum wage. But, it was a fun job. I loved the job, just wish we could have earned more money.

I suspect the problem is with a DNS server, which FB tried to reconfigure and something crashed.  Which means that people who had FB addresses (the numerical ones that get stored in your cache and are usually good for 48 hours,  because web addresses use dynamic IP numbers) used in the previous 48 hours will be likely to have fewer problems.   Unless, of course, all the IP numbers were dumped and replaced in the process,  which would make more of a logjam as the user tries to translate the domain name they are seeking.  And there's essentially no directory to convert that name into the needed numerical string.

Take it easy there,  fellah .  That can't be good for your BP.   BTW just so I'm clear, are you mocking a poster for condemning cults that promote marital rape and abuse.   Er I mean did you READ the article at all?

I read it.
And my blood pressure is fine.
Thanks for asking.
I will leave the virtue signaling to Barton.
He is a pro at it.

Am I being in any way inaccurate or a tad too harsh?

The leaders of that sect are the scum of the earth.   The idea that womens rights are only a pressing issue in faraway countries is a harebrained notion that needs to be debunked.  We have Taliban in America.

A group of Point Park University students in Pittsburgh launched a petition to have their fellow classmate banned from campus after he criticized the school's pronoun policy.

Campus Reform Correspondent and Point Park University student Logan Dubil was met with a petition from his classmates to school administrators that demanded his removal from campus for criticizing the university's "Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming Policy," which Fox News previously reported.

The petition, which has now been deleted and was created by "Max," appeared on Change.org and claimed "Dubil and others like him are the scum of the Earth," according to Campus Reform.

"We need to remove Logan Dubil from campus as well as others like him who refuse to respect other people pronouns," the petition stated. The petition referenced a policy from the university that requires students to address classmates by their preferred pronouns.

ONCE AGAIN, the LEFT is showing its complete inability to tolerate alternative views & opinions. This student had the audacity to disagree with his/her/them/their POV, so they/them/she/he/all-yall want him banned from campus.

It all seems so familiar, and it's becoming a really dangerous pattern of behavior.

Just to be clear are you stomping marital rape or practicing and promoting marital rape?

Your posts so far have not made it in any way known where you stand.

Time to just have pity for Rudy Giuliani.

https://lede-admin.coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2021/09/Giuliani-depo-in-Coomer-case.pdf

The deposition he gave is bizarre and absurd in its most lucid parts, and off the rails raving in the rest.

Fuck Rudy!

He is the same racist asshole he was back in the 80s.


Rudy has been an asshole for forty years. Nothing about him has changed for the better...

For some reason when I try to go to Facebook it goes to Search, the other pages work, You Tube works, Elba works, but Facebook goes to the Search page, it will not load the Facebook page. Any ideas on what is happening? Is there something that I need to do to make it work? Is it just a temporary glitch?

Salute,

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp have been down worldwide for hours. For a short time there is sanity in the universe.

Kids don't die. Or if they do, it's because they were very sick or immunocompromised (and so, don't count in Kid's opinion).

Except that kids do die, including previously healthy ones.

Kid will come back to tell us how few of them it is and therefore nobody should be concerned.

Acceptable losses...

I was not referring to your ilk or any far flung continents

I was simply pointing out the connection between your current sad state and some things you yourself recently said you did

In my world, 80% of small businesses fail in the first 5 years.

I wasn't very popular with many young business loan applicants, often shall we say..."multicultural", who were having their 'Multicultural" parents signing as guarantors for their business loans...said parents signing their homes as security for the loans.
The terms and conditions of the loans were written in plain english for the people signing as guarantors to read.
I felt I had an obligation to expalin fully to the parents or whomever ...exactly what would happen if the businesses failed and the applicants defaulted....the bank would then take their homes to repay the loan.
Horrified many were, and said "No, no no".

Good to teach the students the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth...about the world of business and finance.
Also, good to teach them what can happen to their successful businesses if a pandemic strikes. The lenders will still want the loans repaid.

Best to have a business in an industry people need to use...food, haircuttting, office supplies, RV repairing/servicing [with 11 million RVs of all descriptions in America and only 45, 000 technicians] a good business, competent, honest and true would thrive.

Best job to have is a govt job...as an engineer or whatever else is available at a salary high enough to live on.

Cheap labour is king...that's why the [Christian] West is in decline.

There has been an oil spill off of the coast of Orange County, we are angry to say the least. They think that a ship caught the oil pipe with an anchor and caused the leak. They need to stop the ships from dropping their anchors where the oil pipes are. It should be common sense. People need to be held accountable, and we need to prevent oil spills like this from happening in the future. We have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world here in Orange County, we need to clean this oil up, and we need to prevent oil spills in the future. And the ships need to be aware of where they are dropping their anchors.

Salute,

Tony V.

Yesterday I drove thru the Black Forest in Germany with a non-relationship couple, the young female a photographer, very nice scenery.

Today I walked around Portsmouth New Hampshire ... very historical, very clean, very orderly, quaint shops, ...after a van life older gal was able to park her van life home on the street near water and a park, overnight.
Her problem was that the solar power system in her van was failing and her expert RV guys were in LA. She was using portable powers source devices charged from her van as she drove around.
