IMO it should be called the Chicxulub Gulf, since the most significant thing to happen there, objectively speaking, was the end of the Cretaceous.

I've spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.

EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

To be fair, it could be the Metropolis gal too.

What seems particularly evil to me is the effect it has on resumes of the actors, artists, musicians, etc. -- they now have nothing concrete to point to for an entire block of their careers, if they can't point to a finished product.

And the point about destroying series just to deny workers their union residuals... wow.

Well, if I had any urges to watch recent movies or TV, I sure don't now. F these money-grubbing vampires. Most of the writing is now so formulaic and tepid anyhow...

The paradox of tolerance -- those who break the 'social contract' deserve no tolerance from the otherwise tolerant, otherwise they'll just run roughshod over everyone. I hate violence as well and have no stomach for it, but it does seem there may be no other way to stop regimes like this.

So is it a priori illegal in the UK to walk around on public sidewalks wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

Time to recreate that crowd scene in VfV ...

"Oh, me officer? I'm on my way to a masquerade ball. It happens every day, runs 24 hours."

Yeah, you're right, Fuck em.

FYI I'm currently on 4001-8000 of the 'Great 78 Collection'. Looks like I'll need about 6TB to get it all, yikes! (Just the VBR MP3 files, not the FLACs. Holy Hell.)

If everyone would take blocks of it, say 4000 each, we can eventually create torrents for each one or something so it can all be reassembled if/when the IA has to take it down.

In Canada, at least when I was younger, there was a sort of hierarchy of post-secondary institutions, named honestly for their mandates: Technical Institutes, Colleges, Universities, ranging from good, focused, short-term (1-2yr max) trades education, to somewhat white-collar education and business training (2-3 years) without little to no research focus, to full-on graduate/post-graduate tracks (4 yrs undergrad BsC/BEd etc. and beyond) doing the typical research expected of Universities.

If this "University" has truly cut out anything considered arts/humanities or "liberal arts", then they should be required to drop the facade and just call themselves a tech institute or something.

Everywhere I've ever been,

If it's lower than "High" or "2", it's as good as "backlog" :)

(There can never be a priority "1" and seldom "Highest", never "Blocker", otherwise the CEO gets a text or something.)

The Deputy White House Counsel reiterated to Co-Conspirator 4 that there had not been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that if the Defendant remained in office nonetheless, there would be "riots in every major city in the United States." Co-Conspirator 4 responded, "Well, [Deputy White House Counsel], that's why there's an Insurrection Act."

.. they were planning to use the Insurrection Act to stomp any resistance to Trump staying in office. Full-on dictatorship-style military coup and mass arrests, or worse. (Not news, but still stunning to see it in writing in an indictment.)

Why are they repeating themselves? :P
