B-Man Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 "[T]he captain asked that 'all able-bodied men please come to the front of the plane for an emergency... basically every man on the plane stepped up....'" Said one passenger, quoted in "Delta passengers and crew subdue off-duty flight attendant on Atlanta-bound flight" (CNN). Newsweek quotes the pilot saying: "We'd like all strong males to come to the front of the aircraft to handle a problem passenger." That's what happens in a true emergency, even today, with all our aspirations of gender equality. A passenger went wild and threatened to bring down the plane, and the standard of who must act now was: "all strong males." And just about all the men stepped up. We do understand that, however much we minimize discussion of that aspect of reality. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/12/us/delta-unruly-passenger-flight-diverted/index.html

Unforgiven Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/nickelodeon-ratings-crash/ Since July of 2017, Nickelodeon’s viewership has dropped from 1.3 million average viewers per week to a June of 2021 average of only 372,000. In only four years, Nickelodeon has dropped more than two thirds of its audience. That is catastrophically bad for the cable channel, but with cable on the way out, maybe it’s not so bad? The catch here is that it is, in fact, that bad and perhaps worse, simply because Nickelodeon seems to be the primary driving force behind new subscribers to Paramount. Lol the whole damned clown show is collapsing.
Big Blitz Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the next Pandemic! All Delta all the time!!! Vaccinated Hawaiian resident tests positive for Delta coronavirus variant Hawaii's health director called it a 'very rare breakthrough case' Hawaiian health officials said Monday that a fully vaccinated resident who traveled to Nevada last month has since tested positive for the Delta coronavirus variant. The resident, who lives in Oahu, tested negative for COVID-19 before departing Nevada but developed mild symptoms several days after returning home. The resident, whose age and sex were not disclosed, isolated after testing positive and close contacts began quarantining. No secondary transmission has been reported. The state's health director called it a "very rare breakthrough" case. https://www.foxnews.com/health/vaccinated-hawaiian-positive-delta-variant Why? Aren't we being told it's resistant to the vaccines that don't even prevent you from getting Covid? Edited June 18, 2021 by Big Blitz

Sounds like the vaccine was effective. He just got a mild case and didn't give it to anyone else.
B-Man Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Commentary: The Music Man is the wrong Broadway revival for this crucial moment. Ultimately, “The Music Man” sets forth a sanitized, insular and very white America — a vision regularly exploited by a recent president (who gained a following with scare tactics and sold a “think system” of his own) to stoke racial fears and pit Americans against one another. It asks audiences to cheer for yet another romanticized fraud. “The Music Man” is selling tickets while the culture is calling for corrective lenses on such white-centered visions of American history and protesting in the streets for a new vision of modern American life. The same is true of the theater industry itself, as actors and arts workers marched for a more inclusive, equitable and anti-racist workplace. It is highly unlikely that this revival will question its source material, as Daniel Fish’s “Oklahoma!” did; most recent restagings of “classics” instead attempt to reframe problematic plots as updates. Not that every Broadway offering needs to address real-world issues, but it’s concerning when productions not only turn away from society’s exposed ills but also inherently reinforce them for, as Horton said, “the widest possible audience.” In the words of Harold Hill himself, it’s “trouble with a capital T.” Really glad to see the L.A. Times focusing on the big issues America faces in 2021 — “problematic” (read: beloved) Broadway musical revivals. As to why, in February, PJM’s David Goldman, aka “Spengler,” (certainly an appropriate nom de plume here) explored: Mediocrity’s Envy of Genius: The Dirty Secret of Cancel Culture. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-06-22/commentary-music-man-broadway-hugh-jackman https://pjmedia.com/spengler/2021/02/16/mediocritys-envy-of-genius-the-dirty-secret-of-cancel-culture-n1426112
The Frankish Reich Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I make it a point not to get involved in these culture war things. But ... really: https://www.vulture.com/2021/06/billie-eilish-apologizes-on-instagram-for-racist-language.html Billie Eilish mouthing along to words by Tyler, The Creator when she was about 13 or 14, including a slur against Chinese (Tyler non-Creatively rhymes it with "drink"). Billie falling all over herself apologizing. And Tyler? The guy who wrote (and spoke) the slur Billie mimics? Nobody is calling him out. Google "Tyler the creator racist" and you get a bunch of results about Billie Eilish, some results about Tyler calling the Grammy Awards racist for creating an "urban" category, and non at all about Tyler saying something racist 10 years ago, in a song that tons of young people have listened to (I know; I've got teenagers). I keep thinking we will hit Peak Stupid and that will be a turning point. Maybe we're there? [by the way, I don't think either Eilish or Tyler are racists. I'm not saying Tyler should be canceled. I'm definitely not his target demographic, but like I said my household exposes me to some things I ordinarily wouldn't be exposed to, and I gotta say he's seems like a clever guy with a good sense of humor. But dude, come to Billie's defense here! It's on you] 2
