Oh sweet Jesus and the Apostles—Ben Shapiro is getting into the movie business…
The right-wing pundit’s Daily Wire has partnered with disgraced film producer Dallas Sonnier—who has a history of overlooking on-set abuses—to release a school-shooting movie.
When the news broke last week that The Daily Wire, a right-wing Facebook publisher co-founded by Ben Shapiro that regularly traffics in misinformation, would be making its first foray into the movie biz with the acquisition of school shooting thriller Run Hide Fight, a number of crew members who worked on the film were caught by surprise.
“Is there a way to remove your name from a crew list?” asks Cristen Leah Haynes, the film’s additional second assistant director. “If I’d known… I’ve never wanted to take my name off of a project more.”

Facebook is placing ads selling MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS next to posts about overthrowing the U.S. government, murdering Congresspeople, shooting up Biden’s inauguration, etc. etc.
LinkArticle on Buzzfeed News:
Facebook has been running ads for body armor, gun holsters, and other military equipment next to content promoting election misinformation and news about the attempted coup at the US Capitol, despite internal warnings from concerned employees.
In the aftermath of an attempted insurrection by President Donald Trump’s supporters last week at the US Capitol building, Facebook has served up ads for defense products to accounts that follow extremist content, according to the Tech Transparency Project, a nonprofit watchdog group. Those ads — which include New Year’s specials for specialized body armor plates, rifle enhancements, and shooting targets — were all delivered to a TTP Facebook account used to monitor right-wing content that could incite violence.
“Facebook has spent years facilitating fringe voices who use the platform to organize and amplify calls for violence,” said TTP Director Katie Paul. “As if that weren’t enough, Facebook’s advertising microtargeting is directing domestic extremists toward weapons accessories and armor that can make their militarized efforts more effective, all while Facebook profits.”
When Democrats take over the Senate, there need to be extensive hearings on the business models of social media giants, and how they “Red Pill” ordinary Americans into morphing into murderous QAnon freaks.

As I understand it, body armor will stop handgun rounds and low-velocity rifle slugs.
Think of it like the difference between trying to pierce the plastic wrapper over a deli sammich. Using your fingertip? Just mushes and deforms, does not allow in.
Fork tine? Right through.
Thus: 5.56, .308 and most rifle rounds just go right through just about any tac vest.
Hell, a .308 will go through a cinderblock wall at 1/2 mile. Won’t do much damage, other than the spalling of flying concrete fragments, but it’ll penetrate.

“Well, um, I really didn’t MEAN to bash in the doors and terrorize people, we were just going to protest and exercise our 1st Amendment rights, and a few OTHER guys kinda got out of hand, what with bashing that cop’s head in with the fire extinguisher and whatnot…”
D.A.: “I see. And is it your standard practice to put on a Kevlar vest, helmet, tactical gloves and arm yourself with a Taser and bear spray every time you go to a peaceful protest?”
They can TRY to plead defense. But it’ll be a lot harder to make that stick, especially with a skeptical D.C. jury, that has just seen all the shit they posted on Parler about “sawing libs heads off in front of their children and bathing in the blood.”

Based on my 27 Justice Dept years, the violent Insurrection on Jan 6 will require at least 2 years of a thorough APOLITICAL investigation (subpoenas, testimony & appeals) that could likely reach the highest levels of government. No rush to judgment—but leave no stone unturned.

re: #24 Dangerman
The entire National Mall will be closed for Inauguration Day, only accessible by media and security personnel,” the Washington Post reports.
“The extraordinary closure is the latest in a series of security measures to harden the city against the type of violence that rocked the Capitol on Jan. 6. Local and federal officials had already established a downtown security zone and called up more than 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the presidential swearing in on Jan. 20.”
I’m just hoping that the protests are held back far enough so that the sound of gunfire can’t be heard at the inauguration. I’m worried that assholes are going to shoot in the air just so that the sound of gunfire becomes part of the ceremony. I wish Joe would move it inside.

im guessing he’s determined not to be swayed/dictated to/scared off, etc by these people
things will go off as they have before (ie ‘normally’) is the optics he’s after
Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA-3) joined on the Tea Party wave, the explicitly racist response to President Obama. She voted to impeach.
Peter Meijer (MI-3) won Libertarian Justin Amash’s seat, running on an explicitly anti-abortion (misogynist) and “religious freedom” (Christian nationalist, which is inherently racist) platform. Same district as Betsy DeVos (R-acist). He voted to impeach.
If you look at each of the ten who voted to impeach, they belong to the Racist Party. They are racists, or they wouldn’t belong to the Racist Party. (Yes, I’m painting with a broad but accurate brush.)
They are trying to position themselves as the “principled Republicans racists.” They want to separate themselves from Trump’s open racism so they can go back to the quiet racism of the entire party since Goldwater.
So I say again: LOL.

Katko and Tom Reed in the Southern Tier at least speak sense some of the time. I don’t think either one is a racist, even if they’re part of a party that is. I think that’s a distinction worth preserving.

The last close one was a large tom launched himself from a tree and came across I-80 in Pennsylvania at windshield height as I was in my Bunky Big Rig. I saw him coming and I was doing about 70 and it was split second decision to slow down or hammer down and hope the air dam pushes him up just a bit. I kept the hammer down. He cut his eyes at me and was 5 or so yards from my face. We both felt that. He went by me.
Had a trucking bud who had one crash through his passenger side windshield and then go crazy and flap around inside the cab.
He got it stopped and jumped out and then opened both doors.

Immediately permanently deleting data is a Bad Idea (tm) in a human-oriented system, because people often change their minds and want to get something back. Typical storage policies range from 30-90 days. After that, they get cleaned up by a batch job running overnight. It is also more performant than deleting immediately, because calling back to do a hard delete is a much slower process than flipping a bit. All that to say, it’s a 100% guarantee that your tweets, FB posts, Parler parleys, etc., are never deleted immediately upon request and are stored in servers for quite some time, and copied to off-line backups and retained for a virtual eternity.

Republicans who are not personally Trump-loving loons are enabling the Trump-loving loons by staying in the party.
In fact, this enablement is how the GOP coalition sticks together. The GOP big tent is a union of various sets of resentful loons who all agree to not get in the way of any of their fellow loons running amok whenever they have the chance.

After the 2022 midterms, the GOP could be much more fascist. That is why the Democrats must be bold, not timid, in what they do in the one or two reconciliation bills they pass, to make a real difference in Americans’ lives. If fascists control both the House and the Senate in 2024, they will do what this Congress wouldn’t and install a fascist dictator as President.

I saw this happened up thread, but reading this was extra good, and made me feel better.
When Capitol Hill was in chaos on Jan. 6, David Smith was there.
Smith, 40, was distributing hand-warmers to homeless people nearby when the siege started. He watched in disbelief as a menacing mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.
“It was pretty gut wrenching to see,” said Smith, who retired less than a month ago after serving in the Navy for 13 years.
As a veteran, he was especially horrified, he said, to learn that his fellow vets participated in the insurrection, including Jake Angeli, also known as the “QAnon Shaman,” and Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed in the Capitol.
“That was a dagger to the heart,” said Smith, who was a combat medic in Afghanistan. “Just because you served in the military doesn’t give you impunity to storm the Capitol building.”
…
On Jan. 10, close to 200 volunteers congregated at McPherson Square, trash bags in hand. They fanned out and spent two hours collecting “Stop the Steal” and other pro-Trump paraphernalia that had been littered during the riots, and also used scrapers and adhesive remover to peel off signs and stickers featuring logos and symbols from various neo-Nazi and alt-right groups.

Roll Call: “The Constitution states, ‘When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside.’ Roberts presided over Trump’s first impeachment trial a year ago, just the third such trial in history.”
“But what happens when Trump leaves office on Jan. 20 — before the trial starts — and becomes a former president of the United States? Must the chief justice still preside over the trial? Could he choose to do so? Or does [that role] fall to the presiding officer of the Senate, the new vice president, Kamala Harris? Or can the Senate have its president pro tempore, at that time Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, preside? … Constitutional and congressional experts have no certain answer.”

You almost wish you could hear the conversations that prompted something like “WandaVision.”
So totally different, so off-brand, it seems like someone is punking Marvel’s universe.
Instead, it’s a very savvy way back into the world that collapsed in “Avengers: Endgame.”
Shot in black and white and paying homage to sitcoms of the 1950s and ’60s, the first two episodes find Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in a ranch home trying to fit in with busybodies and bean counters.

According to Scottsdale Assistant City Prosecutor Joshua Austin, Gionet violated his release conditions by leaving the state “without written permission from the Court” and for “failing to remain law abiding.”

I went to another one that had 400+ comments and even with the fix, the page crashed. I restarted the iPad and went back and was able to load the page.
I was blaming iOS having an issue with javascript, but now I’m wondering if there’s some sort of issue with Safari and RAM management, particularly after the iPad has been running for a while with other programs active.

We were discussing this last night I think. There’s precedent for conducting an impeachment trial after one has left office, but the more recent trend (at least with judges) is to dismiss following resignation. But there’s only been 20 impeachment trials in the whole of American history, so precedent is kind of weak all around.

Immediately permanently deleting data is a Bad Idea (tm) in a human-oriented system, because people often change their minds and want to get something back. Typical storage policies range from 30-90 days. After that, they get cleaned up by a batch job running overnight. It is also more performant than deleting immediately, because calling back to do a hard delete is a much slower process than flipping a bit. All that to say, it’s a 100% guarantee that your tweets, FB posts, Parler parleys, etc., are never deleted immediately upon request and are stored in servers for quite some time, and copied to off-line backups and retained for a virtual eternity.
A lot depends on the data retention policies of the company in question. After getting burned by a few lawsuits asking us to dig out quite old data* the company I worked for instituted policies that the legal department had approved. Certain data, generally financial in nature, gets kept a long time. Other stuff got kept via backups for a number of years (usually 7) and then is *explicitly* supposed to be permanently deleted. Same went for most emails since these are often the sort of thing legal discovery would ask for.
When we did periodic purges of data in our main transportation app to maintain performance we’d archive data onto CDs in a delimited text file. (Chosen since that’s a pretty open format that about anything can read and figure out.) The CDs were farmed out to the department with a label on them indicating what data they held and also the date at which the CD should be broken and thrown away.
* - Company we had been spun off of had been sued. So the plaintiffs were fishing for information in our archives dating back to before the spin-off. Said data they wanted searched on magnetic tapes. Many of which proved to be unreadable due to the fact that the tape itself would break off when we tried to load them up.

Sheltered workshop situations.
The Panhandle Public Health District changed their signup for the Covid-19 vaccine to age 65+ or someone with the high risk factors that have been noted by researchers.
So I went to sign my wife up (she’s already said she wants it when it is available), but the radio button on the Website does not work (there is no link).
Right about that time, the VA clinic in Sidney called to give me some information about an upcoming visit I have at the civilian hospital in Scottsbluff. Since the NP is also my neighbour and our village health board leader, I asked her about the PPHD Website.
She said she’s been fielding questions about the site not working all day, and has no information on when PPHD might get this fixed (and that isn’t her job as a VA nurse).
Updates are at 1500 MST and 1700 MST, but from the first update we’ve topped eight thousand cases here now (8,057). Deaths have also climbed to 156.
Women and “unknown” are still stubbornly 2/3 of all cases.
I am still amazed the same three villages have had no cases since this started. I confirmed that with the VA nurse that my town hasn’t had a case.

My guess is that Alito will try and hold out for a Republican president. Breyer, I wouldn’t be surprised by a retirement. Thomas… he’s an interesting one, I could see him not really caring who replaces him, I could also see him holding out for a Republican, I could also see him leaving feet first.

re: #323 thedopefishlives
eliminating the sub-minimum-wage exceptions for tipped workers and people with disabilities (wait, that’s a thing?!)
I don’t know about the disabilities thing, but I know a lot of states have a tipped minimum wage. I guess the thinking with tipped wage was that customers were paying the servers so the employer didn’t have to pay them as much?
The disability angle, may be something designed to promote higher of mentally disabled people and knowing that they have family and/or social service programs to supplement their income?

re: #335 KGxvi
The tipped wage thing I knew about; I’ve spoken vociferously about my hatred for the tipping culture and how I always try to tip well, knowing how miserably underpaid they are (and legally get shafted by their employers even with tips). The disability thing is just plain wrong. I get your reasoning for it, but no. There are other ways to fix that problem.

re: #328 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
The Panhandle Public Health District changed their signup for the Covid-19 vaccine to age 65+ or someone with the high risk factors that have been noted by researchers.
So I went to sign my wife up (she’s already said she wants it when it is available), but the radio button on the Website does not work (there is no link).
Right about that time, the VA clinic in Sidney called to give me some information about an upcoming visit I have at the civilian hospital in Scottsbluff. Since the NP is also my neighbour and our village health board leader, I asked her about the PPHD Website.
She said she’s been fielding questions about the site not working all day, and has no information on when PPHD might get this fixed (and that isn’t her job as a VA nurse).
Updates are at 1500 MST and 1700 MST, but from the first update we’ve topped eight thousand cases here now (8,057). Deaths have also climbed to 156.
Women and “unknown” are still stubbornly 2/3 of all cases.
I am still amazed the same three villages have had no cases since this started. I confirmed that with the VA nurse that my town hasn’t had a case.
Kaiser has changed theirs too, but at the moment it is equally a shit show. The phone number is their regular appointment line and when you can get through to it, you’ll have a 2 or 3 hour wait to talk to someone.
I’m really disappointed in Kaiser’s lack of organization on this-there is no recorded information on what the plan is, and nothing in particular on their website (other than call to see if you qualify, but we have limited amounts of vaccine available.) Usually they are pretty organized.
Since I’m over 65, I theoretically qualify to get the vaccine, but I suspect they’re prioritizing older people first. If they aren’t, I’m not sure how comfortable I am with the “whomever has the sharpest elbows gets to the front of the line” strategy.

After Goodwill controversy, spotlight on subminimum wage (Chicago Reporter, July 18, 2019)
The subminimum wage was enacted in 1938 as a New Deal provision to encourage employers to hire disabled people during the Great Depression.
At first it worked okay, but was never raised, and in the “Greed is Good” period of Ronald Reagan, companies started exploiting even mildly disabled people under the rubric “disabled people are less productive” (where that claim could be wielded against any employee with any disability).
Goodwill in Illinois went so far as to stop paying disabled employees entirely, which put a spotlight on the practice.
Disability rights advocates are hoping the controversy over the firing of workers by a downstate Goodwill Industries branch will give impetus to efforts to eliminate the subminimum wage for workers with disabilities at so-called “sheltered workshops.”
“This case highlights this practice,” and “the outrageousness” of the Goodwill branch’s position “should draw more attention to the issue,” said State Rep. Theresa Mah, who has introduced legislation to phase out the use of waivers which allow organizations employing people with disabilities to pay subminimum wages.
“The writing has been on the walls for many years: People with developmental disabilities want jobs, respect and fair pay.” - Amber Smock, Access LivingOn Wednesday, Land of Lincoln Goodwill, which operates 15 stores in Central Illinois, reversed an earlier decision to stop paying most of its disabled workers — first reported by WCIA TV — after extensive negative reaction on social media and calls for hearings by legislators.
(more)
States which have banned the practice:
NH—The first state to do so, in 2015
MD—2016, the practice was phased out by law in 2019
AK—2018, banned immediately
TX—2019, banned any company working with the state “Purchasing from People” programme
OR—2019, takes effect 2023
NV—2019, the state minimum wage bill raising wages to $12/hour over five years also eliminates the subminimum wage for disabled people and other categories of workers

Essential Frontline workers
Police, fire and Hazmat
Corrections and Homeless Shelter workers
==========
( Phase 1B categories not yet opened)
Childcare/K-12 Teachers/Staff
Foodcare and Agriculture
Manufacturing
Grocery Store Workers
Public Transit Workers
Mail and package carriers
Officials needed for Govt Continuity of Operations
3.Phase 1C
65+
Ages 16-64 with vulnerable medical conditions

That was our vaccination priority until yesterday-and I was OK with it. Newsom decided we needed to get more vaccines into arms, which is true. CA is doing a mediocre job of getting people vaccinated. However, I fail to understand how just opening thing up will improve matters. There needs to be infrastructure in place to administer those doses.
I’m not a huge Newsom fan and this doesn’t improve my opinion of him. I think he’s thinking about his political career rather than any practicalities.

My guess is that in many places, the vaccination centers will have a standardized list of conditions and will also accept Medical Doctor statements of need. This of course will benefit those with better access to medical care over those who are not able to afford it. Sort of like the old draft system.

completely off topic, but I just found a used Yamaha p88 from Guiyahhhrrr! Center. I took the 3 year warranty. I’ve heard it in some Youtube reviews, and it sounds fabulous. Interesting how all Biden had to do was get elected and I’m already spending the stimulus check.
re: #403 Chrysicat
Ugh. It’s not like I don’t know there’s now a coding bug either here or in Firefox’s latest build that causes anything that’s supposed to pop up a new window/tab to instead open in the same tab and erase the page you’re reading from your history, but damned if I didn’t just click a Twitter link without right-clicking first anyway.
And then there’s what I intended to post before having to re-navigate to this thread:
It doesn’t do that for me. Perhaps your setting got messed up? about:preferences in the address bar and tick “open links in tabs instead of new windows”
re: #405 Dangerman
“socialist and leftist” are too dusty
I don’t think a defence of “I was beating a cop because I thought he was Antifa” is really going to work in a court.
re: #401 thedopefishlives
I got halfway through that thread and something broke in my brain.
I’m really starting to question the validity of most of the usual arguments for broad freedom of speech in the US (e.g., good ideas will overcome bad ideas in the marketplace of ideas, etc.).
Of course, the argument that the bad guys would inevitably corrupt the censors remains as valid as ever. But that seems to be the only argument in favor that survives contact with reality.
re: #386 BeachDem
Per wiki:
While working at Warner Bros. Records, Gionet was social media and marketing intern for Warped Tour. Kevin Lyman gave him the stage-name Baked Alaska, a reference to the fact that he came from Alaska and was a marijuana user at the time, referencing the dessert, baked Alaska.
At the time? I wonder if he was a shitbird when he was baked and had a fun job.
re: #357 calochortus
I have nothing against trying to get a bipartisan agreement, but if it ends up being substantially reduced, then I’d suggest ramming the original through.
that’s likely the plan

Heh. I’m waiting on the next one for $1400 to be in my grubby paws first. Hopefully by then that Ibanez 12 string will be back in stock and I can swing a nearly new Nikon D750 as well.

It might work at a particular time and place last century. Some people think we’re really Trump’s America, so it’s OK in this time and place, but they’re finding out we’re still America.

I guarantee it.
re: #351 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance
Looks like “Baked alaska” is in even deeper shit now…
tim-gionet-aka-baked-alaska sounds like someone in a Lou Reed song.

That would deal with it if it were just that, but I also assume embedded tweets are displaying properly for you.
I’m getting the bare-bones box that tends to show up when there’s an embedded deleted tweet instead, but it’s still possible to view it with all its avatars and images intact by clicking on it and going to Twitter.
re: #390 plansbandc
I love Jimmy Carter. A man of integrity who was President. Amazing and inspiring.
And someone who has deserved the long and productive life he’s had.
You know you’re *old* when you outlive your trees.
