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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Last night a rerun of 48 Hours was on about the murder of Blaze Bernstein in January 2018. He was stabbed in the neck 20 times by a member of Atomwaffen Division for being gay and Jewish. His parents are the most amazing people ever. I would become a professional Nazi hunter had it been my kid.
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. I decided to try coming up with a way to pay for school lunches for kids who can’t pay or don’t qualify for free lunches. I’m not sure if our district will allow for it, but I am still in touch with one of my son’s old elementary school teachers so maybe she can give me some tips on how to proceed. If that won’t fly, I’ll have to work on something else, but I can’t just do politics anymore, it’s not enough.

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.
Counter-apologetic: See above
>Liberals hate Christianity, and that’s why they won’t let Chik-fil-A in.
Counter-apologetic: See above. Nothing prevents Chik-fil-A from having that one store open if they wished, and that was offered as a compromise. Also, there are Chik-fil-A restaurants all over Austin and the city didn’t refuse business licenses for those.

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.

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

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.
re: #190 HappyWarrior
Exactly. Austin wanted to maximize profit revenues at the airport. Having a place that closes on Sunday is bad business.
It’s not even that: The city noted that Sunday is the busiest day and travelers need to be able to access restaurants. (See disingenuous conservative talking point #1 above - the city would get the same rent if the restaurant was closed or open.)
re: #195 BeachDem
BeachDem, have you heard from ObserverArt at all?

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.

One thing is obvious. Trump didn’t disapprove. He was enjoying every minute of his Nuremberg Rally.
Another day in the next HBO series, Game of Governors!
The governor Rosselló made an announcement today, on the eve of tomorrow’s big protests.
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.
BREAKING: Puerto Rico Governor says he’s NOT resigning his position. But, he says he won’t seek re-election. He’s also resigning as the head of his party.
Will this be enough to satisfy protesters?— David Begnaud (@DavidBegnaud) July 21, 2019

Oh fuck you very much Lara. You’re a racist who is married to one and whose father in law is one too.

Variant on “liberals are the real racists.”
MrBWS is probably heading to Michigan in the morning.
Apparently, there was a huge storm over the weekend and between DTE and Consumers, there are about half a million customers without power.
Not what anyone wants ever, but particularly when it’s so damned hot.
re: #208 Sea Mexican
I don’t think that’s going to work.
It looks like he’s trying to hunker down and wait out the protests, hoping people will forget.
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.

Lara Trump is the American Princess de Lamballe
re: #61 FormerDirtDart 🍕🐀
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.

Princesse de Lamballe was so hated for being Marie Antoinette’s spy & chief sycophant that she didn’t make it to the guillotine, she was beaten to death by the mob.
Sucked to be her.

Yeah I’ve always been weirded out by royalty. Some royals I like as people but I find the whole concept absurd.

For a party that insists they’re opposed to racism, they sure do seem to have a lot of racists in their ranks.

That’s my expectations too. It’s been 11 days since protests started. School starts in early August (school summer here runs from June to July). If he can hold out until then, the protests will die out.
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.
This is true. While the PNP is lukewarm, several key mayors have stood by on their calls for his resignation. Without these mayors’ help, no governor candidate will win.

re: #224 HappyWarrior
Sexist racist assholes.
Well, they pulled down the post, but that’s because they got caught. County GOP chairs are denying they are members of the statewide county GOP organisation in Illinois. People asking county chairs if they condemn such a racist and misogynistic attack are pretty much all saying “what attack, it’s not on the Facebook page.”
re: #74 Eclectic Cyborg
Really curious who managed to pull this off.
We’ll know in the near future. Just watch for “suicides” where the person is shot 3 times in the back of the head, falls out a window and is hit with a piano that was being hoisted into the building.
