Answering the unasked question “What if Edward Snowden, but Jack Bauer?”

You got it right the first time: ribbed tanks; still bringing the machismo and big trans-masc energy. :)

Curious.

I keep a close eye on the job listings posted to Mozilla’s job board. They don’t post new job openings very often, so I always want to be tuned in when new listing pop up. All of a sudden, a lot of new job openings have appeared for a company that just laid off 36 people…

fucking hell i hope not

I chatted with Boeing strikers about this.

The contract proposal was announced on Halloween, with the strikers getting contract details in a conference call that night (while many were either out trick or treating with their kids or otherwise having fun). The vote was scheduled for Monday, the day before a massively monumental election.

They didn’t get the pensions they wanted most. This entire thing was timed for maximum anxiety and distraction.

I see Pitch; I up-vote.

Seattle started the movement for a $15 minimum wage in 2014. It passed and was slowly phased in, finishing the rollout in 2021. It’s also aligned to inflation, so the current minimum wage (in 2024) is $20.76 per hour.

Any minimum wage legislation not tied to inflation is a half measure. Demand what you deserve.

I’m Comic Sans, Asshole by Mike Lacher from McSweeney’s Short Imagined Monologues June 15, 2010

Here’s the spotify link for the full album: https://open.spotify.com/album/4wtt08wXfDLUecMnqdZQsF

Do the studios just hate the US exhibition industry now? There’s no way movie theaters can survive this kind of home viewing turn-around.

Or is it simply our inability to function like reasonable people in large groups, making it impossible to assume you’re going to be able to watch a movie in a theater all the way through without being disturbed by phones, talking, screaming children or whatever else people do in theaters?

As someone who studied Latin based on the Cambridge Latin book series, I wouldn’t mind seeing a disaster movie about Pompeii featuring Caecilius, the banker at the center of the training course (and a real person whose home and records were discovered by archeologists).

He popped up in the Doctor Who episode The Fires of Pompeii, but that’s not quote the same as a legitimate Hollywood disaster movie treatment.

I also can’t tell what is in the bowls beside Roy and his sons - to the top left of Roy’s plate, right hand side of Toby and top right of Brad’s plate. Maybe Ronnie and Silvia have one of these bowls too but I can’t tell. You can see Brad eat out of his bowl at one point and it looks like something pale (I wondered coleslaw or macaroni).

It looks like everyone at the table has a bowl on one side or the other. This was a time when a common middle-class American family dinnerware place-setting might include a salad bowl with a simple salad: chopped iceberg or romaine lettuce with a store-bough salad dressing (ranch, blue cheese, 1000 island, etc). Probably not the most appetizing thing in the world, but totally legit given the era and setting (with Roy being a electrical line worker).

Agreed. The days of Warners being a destination for auteur directors died when David Sazlav wound up in charge. All the talent is bailing.

Consider also meat floss: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_floss

It’s legit, just super desiccated. Babish made some while recreating Khlav Kalash from The Simpsons.

Nope, you’re right, I totally used the wrong link. I started creating the post with some Lego Avengers content, but couldn’t find any production info about it, so I bailed on it, moved to the next one and didn’t fix the link.

It should be corrected now. Sorry about that!

The documentary is called Separated, and it’s about the apparatus that separated the children of migrants to the US from their parents as a deterrent to immigrating.

“Cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face” is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive overreaction to a problem: “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face” is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one’s anger.

IndieWire says it’s a 10-episode limited series.
