It’s an eminently quotable movie and the visuals are luscious and so colorful. He turned the NYC of the future into a colorful montage of decrepitude and verticality without losing scale or going the way of Blade Runner with the dark visual palatte or the rust color of Blade Runner 2049. Luc Besson did a great job with that movie.

The movie rode the satire/comedy/drama edges very well. Good characters that were well played and memorable. And the best casting of Chris Tucker that was ever done.

I’m certain my great great great grandfather died at sea en route to the US and planned he would send his family later. Five years after he died, his oldest son came here and five years after that, I imagine he and they had saved enough to send for my great great great grandmother and the surviving kids, one of them became my Nana’s Nana who Nana’s parents lived with when Nana was born in 1912. The family already gone from Ireland to Glasgow but they dreamed bigger.

Sending Goebbels BAE out to defend Trump against racism charges who attacks the 4 brown/black congresswomen, well played.

Nashville Hot Chicken is the latest fad now. There’s a stand in Chinatown, Howling Ray’s , where people will stand in line for over 3 hours to get that chicken. I tried a chicken breast and wound up drinking a couple Diet 7 ups to get the burn under control!

My family also moved from Ireland - Belfast if I can believe the one link - to the Glasgow/Paisley area. We were always told that my grandmother’s father was Scottish. Turns out, he was an Ulster Scot. Her siblings were born in Scotland. I have a whole new set of history to research now.

From the previous thread:

re: #403 FormerDirtDart 🍕🐀

My brother recently became an ‘over the road’ truck driver. And, the system the delivers the companies required routes on several occasions this spring/early summer would have sent unmanned trucks down flooded out highways.

Driverless vehicles would be useless across much of the High Plains. Poor roads, many roads unmarked on Internet or GPS maps.

The driverless vehicle movement to me only seems to exacerbate the urban/rural divide. Corporations insist on not paying taxes, and Republicans help them. That prevents rural areas from expanding infrastructure, which leaves us further and further behind the rest of the nation.

Even such things as driverless farm equipment doesn’t exist here, because there is no infrastructure to support it.

From the last thread, I completely agree that it’s a little hard to sell stuff if the only way people get money is to earn it through work, and all the jobs are replaced. My point about the robots replacing the delivery is that just going through a checkout line with a person isn’t nearly enough. There’s a whole chain of steps that can be replaced. We are going to have to have a major look at how we consume and pay for it.

re: #32 Charles Johnson

Sen. Ron Johnson: “I was hoping when Pres. Obama was elected, it’d really go a long way to healing the racial divide… where we really could embrace Dr. King’s sentiment that let’s judge people on the basis of the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.”

I was hoping when Obama was elected that Conservatives would be able to see him as an example of the American Dream: namely that race or origins do not matter, if you work hard enough, you can aspire to the highest office in the land.

But that would have involved acknowledging his achievements, even if they did not agree with his politics, policies or personnel choices.

But they could not, and instead they made a point of vilifying and demeaning his accomplishments and did not even recognize his legitimacy as a US citizen or legally elected President (for which Trump was a leading spokesman) and that made me see how devoid of principles the Conservative movement had become.

Regarding your racist comments about President Obama, anyone with two functioning brain cells knows you were lying through your teeth and that you are the same kind of white supremacist scum as the President* who was put into office by Russian Acts of War.

Just give me a good bbq chicken instead. Anything that needs to have the fire tamped down after you eat it is not spicy or tasty, just silly. A properly spicy food will let you know it’s spicy but won’t make you feel like you just took a drink from a bottle of rooster sauce.

Was watching the race. Announcers were completely confused. And no, there was no way for him to know if he was going to be tested at the end of the stage. And, riders can be tested any time (not in the middle of a race stage of course). Even out of season unannounced random testing is conducted. More likely it’s a personal problem, or a team related disagreement

The Company You Keep (Goes to the National Review, June 11, 2007)

This article is by Linda Chavez, former Ronald Reagan cabinet member who was forced to resign from the Reagan Administration after John Tanton’s writings were discovered, showing the true purpose of his racist organisation FAIR, of which she was a member of the board. When nominated for Secretary of Labor by GHW Bush, she was forced to withdraw when it became known she’d employed undocumented immigrants.

She writes a long-winded article trying to show how she was duped by the purposes of FAIR, and that fellow conservatives should not fall for the racist and eugenics crap Tanton’s groups sell.

She lays out the connexions between the various groups and GOP politicians back in the Eighties. (She also tries to both-siderise it by claiming liberals were also engaging in anti-immigration rhetoric, in other words, she is a conservative so she lied.)

Wrong question.

Trump Sets the Terms on Racial Division. Do Democrats Know What to Do?

Wrong. The question is does the media know how to deal with Trump’s racism and bigotry and misogyny and criminality and obstruction of justice?

It’s clear they don’t because they continue the magic balance fairy bulkshit that they did in 2016.

The answer to dealing with Trump’s racism and bigotry and misogyny and white supremacy is to tackle it head-on. Make Trump and the GOP own the fact that they’re racists and enabling a white supremacist policy to deflect from fact that the GOP doesn’t have any constructive policies except to tear the nation apart to help the 1% grow richer at the expense of everyone else.

Correction, she was nominated by GW Bush, not his father.

She worked in the Office of Civil Rights under Ronald Reagan. When she withdrew from the Reagan Administration, she mounted a Senate run against Democrat Barbara Milkulski.

She attacked the sexual orientation of a staffer Milkulski had five years before, implying in campaign adverts Milkulski was a radical anti-man feminist and a lesbian. She lost that election by a wide margin.

She currently sits on the boards of two corporations and several not-for-proftis.

It was carrying my great-x3-grandfather’s wife and infant son, on their way to join him in New York.

After losing them, great-x-3 grandpa sent for his widow’s older sister, who eventually made the crossing and married him. And as you’ve probably guessed, the daughter they had became my great-great-grandmother.

Facebook has now made it such an ordeal to use their API to post LGF articles that I’m just about to give up entirely. It’s not worth it.

First, they basically shut down all API access to personal pages. You just can’t do that any more. That means I can’t auto-post to Facebook when I post an LGF article.

Now they’ve instituted so many new rules about using the API to post to an organization page that I’m just not going to bother. One of the rules is you have to submit a copy of your DBA or equivalent, and there’s no way in hell I’d ever give anything like that to Facebook.

So I joined their Facebook group called Blaze It Forward and checked out the website and I am thinking of a new project to do in my community.

They intend to destroy the entire safety net, though probably not before the election. This is not theoretical. I’ve just had a hip replacement and will have an ankle replacement in a couple months.

The issue is Austin’s airport had an opening for a restaurant. Chik-fil-A bid on the opening. The Airport Authority of the city refused, citing the restaurant is closed on Sunday (the airport’s busiest day).

Disingenuous (lying) conservative arguments against the city included:

> The restaurant pays the same rent whether they are open or not.
Counter-apologetic for that religious assertion: The airport needs a restaurant to be open on Sunday to serve people in the airport.

>The city is discriminating against the religious rights of the corporation’s owners to be closed on Sunday.

>Liberals hate Christianity, and that’s why they won’t let Chik-fil-A in.

He is a former JW who went through hell after his family disowned him. He now does counter-apologetics videos, and videos assessing whether church organisations are cults by that model. (He modifies the scoring system used in the BITE model though.)

The airport is there to serve people 24/7/365 as flights arrive and depart. Airport operators have limited space to let to vendors, and those they choose to extend leases too have to abide by airport rules, including hours of operation.

Every business has to abide.

That means a kosher business wouldn’t be able to open because they’d close from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, plus Jewish holidays. Chick-fil-A is closed Sundays? Yeah, that’s a no-no too.

Any business that goes in to the airport has to abide by the rules. It’s like any shopping mall - you have to be open the hours they require. If the mall is open, you’re open.

Many years ago I would occasionally go to Chik-fil-A. I like their sandwiches.

As I learned how the company supports bigot organisations and politicians, I stopped.

Recently they built a new restaurant here in Scottsbluff. I have never been in it. I would rather take my business when I am there to the locally-owned Mexican, Cambodian, and Chinese restaurants there. (Once in a great while we’ll go to Kentucky Fried Chicken in Gering because my wife likes KFC though.)

It,s more than that. Austin Airport Authority has “rent plus” contracts, where a % of sales also goes to the AAA. No sales, no additional revenue for the City. It was just a business decision, nothing personal.

So looking deeper into the whole business, the San Antonio (not Austin) city council did approve a 7-yr concessions contract for the airport that did not include Chick-fil-A based upon the company’s history of supporting anti-LGBT groups and policies. The whole bit about it being that the stores are closed on Sunday was something offered up by the city’s mayor after the matter became a public “scandal.”

But again, this is a purely business decision: The city chose not to do business with a company based upon their business practices, which is totally in keeping with “Freedom of Association.”

Lara Trump accuses critics of “Send her back” of pushing a “biased, racially-charged narrative” (Salon)

Lara Trump is accusing CNN of discriminating against white people.

Lara Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump’s son Eric, has accused CNN anchor Anderson Cooper of pushing a “biased, racially-charged narrative” after he criticized her recent defense of the Trump administration over the “send her back” scandal.

“Anyone insinuating that there was some premeditated plan to orchestrate the “send her back” chant is obviously desperate to continue pushing a biased, racially-charged narrative. #FakeNews,” Trump posted to her Twitter account on Saturday. She included a link to the Washington Examiner, a right-leaning newspaper which included a quote from Cooper blasting Trump for supposedly “lying” about her role in whipping up a crowd to chant “send her back” about Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

The governor Rosselló made an announcement today, on the eve of tomorrow’s big protests.

Facebook Post

Basically, he resigned from the political party presidency (with rare exceptions, the party president is the governor candidate) and won’t seek re-election, but he’ll stay as governor. Most people aren’t taking this positively. David Begnaud asked the question on Twitter, and the response have been overwhelmingly negative.

Was watching the race. Announcers were completely confused. And no, there was no way for him to know if he was going to be tested at the end of the stage. And, riders can be tested any time (not in the middle of a race stage of course). Even out of season unannounced random testing is conducted. More likely it’s a personal problem, or a team related disagreement

Rumors are that he was dissatisfied with his TT equipment, which us inferior to a lot of the other teams.

Plus his word on “he won’t run again” probably doesn’t mean much after the chatlog dump implicating him in holding up relief supplies.
