Supported a group that the protestors said wasn't neutral and a supporter of the IDF. And personal pal of Pro Israeli killing spree supporter Bari Weiss. And yes I trust the protestors more here when it comes to making that assessment. BTW would Jews have the right to protest a Pro Nazi pro Holocaust person who runs a shop in Philly, who might be starting a Montana style militia in the rural Pennsylvania Mountains? I told Governor Josh Shapiro, quoted in this <a href="https://philly.eater.com/2023/12/4/23987446/boycott-michael-solomonov-restaurants-goldie-israel-palestine" target="_blank">pretty good EATER article</a> (They interviewed both sides. Even though they put the Pro Palestinian stuff at the bottom of the pyramid or story. Still better than how the corporate media reported this.) about this thought experiment. And:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Yes Jews would have that right to protest that shop owner. In fact, invite me to both protests.

And I'm really impressed with this trailer. Resistance fighting is hard and deadly. Most times Castro loses. This has a real Sandinista/Palestinian vibe to it. Looks like the usual slew of great actors as well. Will definitely check this out.

optimistic future for humanity that has ever been screened, possibly. It’s a
glorious future where humanity has survived three world wars, due to start in
five years according to one timeline (realistic). Poverty has been eliminated

is two whole people named Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. It is a rigorous and
well detailed exploration of what solar system space exploration will probably
look like in the next several hundred years, with is rumored start date of 2350.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Still, humanity looks good on paper in this last novel in the
series. The alien created “Ring” leads to over 1300 other solar systems spread
throughout the galaxy. Humanity has expanded to all the </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_M_planet"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Class M planets</span></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> that are
in these places but it’s still a rough life to build a world from scratch.
These places, judging from the book and the TV show, look like the hardscrabble
western towns of Firefly or the Mandalorian and not some futuristic </span><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/d/d4/THCTNDTHST1957.jpg"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Richard

Expanse makes it look tough with the prospect of not one Interstellar War but
two. Yes humanity has expanded to 1300 solar systems but it was taken over by
one guy: William Duarte, who is now missing. It’s kind of like Khan has taken
over the Federation. The last novel was pretty much this “Laconian Empire”
being destroyed and now a galaxy wide civil war that the empire is losing and
perhaps has lost but it’s not quite settled yet. On top of this, it looks like
the extra dimensional aliens that wiped out the highly advanced aliens who
built the Ring might be coming back. It’s kind of a </span><a href="https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg-Species_8472_War"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Borg vs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">This is where we find our ever so serendipitous heroes on
board the Rocinante. You will recognize most of these characters from the tv
show: James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Alex, who survived in the books, and fan
favorite Amos the muscle. They’re working on securing the Ring gate and of
course they’re with the Han Solo style resistance. Turns out Duarte is missing
and the bait might be his daughter Teresa, who is also on the Rocinante. This
is where the show’s many competing factions end up fighting it out. Would love
to tell you the ending because it’s the most interesting part of the novel but
it would be a major spoiler. Let’s just say in the very detailed very hard sci
fi world of the Expanse the one thing that seemed a bit off kilter was the idea
of The Ring. Yes it would be nice if aliens created a gateway for us that
reached 1300 other solar systems complete with one or more </span><a href="https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/faq/15/what-is-the-habitable-zone-or-goldilocks-zone/"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Goldilocks</span></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> planets
but this doesn’t seem realistic. And the Expanse seems to answer this with
something quite sinister: what if there’s a catch? What if humanity is the
bait? You’ll have to read for yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Some minor complaints: The writing is functional. Never seems
inspired or poetic. Feels like script to novel. But it’s very good storytelling
and a wondrous finale to a very ambitious future, which, if bets were taken,
would seem to be a much more realistic yet depressing timeline than Star Trek.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Pennsyltucky kills.<p> Here's the article in full. It's the only one. The PG and the Tribune Review haven't written a story about it as far as I can tell. It's a strong argument for mandatory vaccination at work. And yes the sister is right the company could have saved his life. Keep in mind that all the bus drivers got sick. Were any of them vaccinated?</p>

margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Adam Fry, 38, of Cabot, died Friday “after a brief but courageous battle with COVID-19,” according to his obituary (Page 6). His death comes days after the authority canceled bus routes due to most of its drivers being ill.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“He absolutely loved his passengers,” said his sister, Jamie Gross of Brackenridge. “He loved the people he would meet along the way.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Gross described her brother, a 2001 graduate of Knoch High School, as a quiet, laid-back person, who was passionate about his family, his church and his job. She said many of his passengers have reached out about services, which according to his obituary, will come later.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“It's been overwhelming how many people have showed how much they cared about him,” Gross said.</p><div class="image-hero" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="copy-vertical-photo" style="box-sizing: border-box; float: left; margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0px; min-width: 175px; width: 252.688px;"><img alt="" src="http://butlereagle.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=BE&Date=20210927&Category=NEWS01&ArtNo=210929597&Ref=V2" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom; width: 252.688px;" /><div class="caption" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.8em; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 0.25em;">Adam Fry</div><div class="caption-byline" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(154, 154, 154); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.6em; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; padding-bottom: 0.25em; text-transform: uppercase;"></div></div></div><h3 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0076a3; font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.7em 0px 0px;">Risks on the job</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">In an interview Sunday, Gross said the transit authority's leadership should take some of the blame for the current situation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“I think the transit authority could have taken things more seriously,” she said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Fry's aunt, Deborah Billings, of Portugal, formerly of Butler, said she has been gathering information about her nephew's illness and death.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Billings said Fry had recently decided to get vaccinated, but he never had the opportunity to carry through with it.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“If he had been required or highly urged to be vaccinated for his clients or himself, I think he would have come to that decision sooner,” Billings said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Billings said the authority did not adequately enforce the mask mandate. She said other forms of protections were also lacking.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“The piece of plexiglass behind the driver's back did next to nothing to protect them,” she said.</p><h3 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0076a3; font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.7em 0px 0px;">Collapsed on job</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Billings said the worst transgression was the lack of recognition that Fry was sick. She said Fry was called in on his day off Sept. 18, and he collapsed on the job. She said a couple of days later, Fry was taken to the hospital and intubated.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“I just think it's a pretty crappy deal all the way around,” she said. “A lot of people dropped the ball there, starting with work.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Billings said her nephew loved his job, and if they asked him to do more, then he would have.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“His job was his life,” she said. “He was so proud to be a bus driver.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">When called Sunday, John Paul, the transit authority's executive director, said he had no comment about these allegations.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">On Saturday, Paul acknowledged the death of the employee, who had been working for the authority through a subcontractor, MV Transportation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Paul said he was saddened by the loss.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“He was a 38-year-old young man. He was a great employee and very dedicated to his job,” he said. “It's a shame.”</p><h3 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0076a3; font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.7em 0px 0px;">Route suspensions</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">On Wednesday, the transit authority announced the suspension of all routes because nine of its 10 local drivers were ill.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">The notice did not say whether the “illnesses” drivers were suffering from was specifically COVID-19; however, in interviews with local television crews, Paul noted that nine of the 10 local drivers had tested positive for COVID-19.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">The authority's website may provide some insight into the time line of its outbreak, as it posted irregular updates two to three times a month throughout the summer.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">Starting with the Sept. 19 announcement of a stoppage of a couple routes, there were six new updates in the days that followed.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">In its latest post Friday, the authority announced local routes 1 and 3 will partially resume Tuesday, but trips 9, 10 and 11 will still be out of service.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em;">“(The transit authority) will reinstate additional routes as soon as possible. Continue to check our website for updates,” the statement said. “Please continue to keep all those still affected in your thoughts and prayers.”</p></div></div></article></main>Philip Shropshirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00825030760094743121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731260.post-91988415280869286852021-09-02T01:37:00.000-04:002021-09-15T02:02:39.263-04:00Dear #Hardball: People shoot people in workplaces based on the terrible things that happen to them.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

He got the point.)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I had two cases in front of local district judge and GOP appointee David Cercone. They were both tossed when Byron Allen lost his case against Comcast. I'm appealing both of them. Unfortunately, no matter what Kanye says, my not friend President Trump has appointed all kinds of horrific judges to sit on the Third Circuit appeals courts. I know one of these judges, Peter Phipps, <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/26/1867590/-Trump-Appointee-Judge-Peter-Phipps-is-Openly-Screwing-Over-Fieldworks-LLC-Race-Discrimination-Case" target="_blank">who has been written about in the past</a>, openly sabotaged a former Fieldworks colleague of mine, He was promoted to the Third Circuit of Appeals. So, filing an appeal might be the same as throwing an anvil to a drowning man. But that's why they play em. Anyway, here's the notice of appeal for Elisabeth Wheeler and Pivot Physical Therapy.<br />

Racist corporate executives don’t make a habit of walking around saying, “I would give that guy a contract if he weren’t black.” Even when they do think and act like that, they rarely commit such thoughts to an e-mail. Comcast wants black people to be able to prove a level of racism most white people won’t admit to. Under Comcast’s logic, all of their executives could have met with Allen while wearing MAGA hats and asked him which “s___hole country” his ancestors came from—and then simply told Allen they weren’t going to carry his network because of “</span></b><a href="https://www.niskanencenter.org/trump-voters-economic-grievances-media-stupid/"><b><span class="15" style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #111111; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">economic</span></b></a><b><span style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #111111; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">” reasons.</span></b><b><span style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #111111; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Probably the best thing I've ever written online is this. I argued that nothing could kill piracy and Harlan, a great writer who I miss, said that his lawsuit had something to do with stopping piracy. Harlan got a great settlement. Who was right? <a href="http://kickasstorrents.ee/harlan-ellison-6-short-story-collections-epub-t11819829.html" target="_blank">Go here to find out</a>. Yes that answers the question. I'm very proud of my clever footnotes.</span><br />
