Does going to a movie in a theater constitute "crossing a picket line" in terms of supporting SAG-AFTRA and the WGA? The wife and I want to see a couple of movies coming out, but supporting the creators is pretty important to us.

@Pebbz my favorite rock band of all time. I've seen them seventeen times since 1991. Had the pleasure of meeting them a few times, most recently during the Sol Invictus tour in 2015 down in LA when I chased them around the country for my fortieth birthday. Billy Gould is one of the nicest guys in rock n roll!

@Floki_ so we're not the only ones who do this? πŸ˜‚ Taking it a step further, we are fortunate enough to have plastic bag recycling available to us curbside (i.e. we don't have to take them to the store). But we have to bundle them up. Since we're in the SF bay area, plastic bags are no longer permitted at the grocery store. So we actually have a friend on the east coast send us single use plastic grocery bags... so that we can use them for recycling plastic bags πŸ€ͺ

This is the best combat video out of Ukraine I have yet seen. UKR infantry assault dug in RUS position in a forest. You get to see them plan their attack, approach the target, assault, overwatch, cover, clear the objective, and capture POWs. It also demonstrates that UKR forces are probably the most experienced force in Europe today. Their calm under fire must be seen to be believed. Helmet cam, fifteen minutes, high def.

@galaxsee76 as I get older I remain a creature of habit. I have 75 games in my library, but all I ever play is Kerbal Space Program and Civilization 😜

@mcfate man he is really good at picking Nazi imagery and responding to alt-right douchebags

@TwistedTulip I'm seeing them with Garbage on 6/2 in Concord and 6/4 in LA. Taking the wife down to the Forum to meet up with some friends 😎

@SalK in my defense I DJ at the club until 2am on Thursday nights and what little brainpower I have left gets dedicated to my day job 😜 Thank you for bringing this to our attention πŸ‘

And there it is - police admit they were "too afraid of being shot" and stood around for forty minutes while eight year olds were being torn apart by cavitating 5.56mm rounds unleashed by a lone madman to do anything about it.

Our wildly overmilitarized police are terrified of confronting people with assault weapons, but the Reich Wing tells us we don't have a gun problem in this country, it's *throws dart* a door problem.

@PurpleEggsNHam precisely. Like the militarization of police over the last twenty years wasn't bad enough; we turn them into paramilitaries and then they WON'T USE THE EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING to confront ONE PERSON?

They stood around with their thumbs up their asses while CHILDREN DIED, they HANDCUFFED HYSTERICAL PARENTS who begged them to DO SOMETHING instead of, you know, DOING SOMETHING, until CBP went in and took him out.

Outrageous.

They also lied about engaging the killer but failing to stop him because he had body armor on. He was wearing a plate carrier, but had no plates in it.

Gosh, what a coincidence. The police, now being accused of standing around for 30 to 40 minutes and letting the shooter just kill children because they wouldn't go in and confront him, now have an 18 minute gap in their police scanner archive right when the shooting was happening.

Must be the same technical malfunctions that occur when Black men trip and fall fifteen times getting out of the back of a cop car and the bodycams and dashcams stop working.
