I remember reading about the Louis CK thing years ago. Glad somethings come of it.

You can be funny. Don�t be a loving creep.

I didn't get it at first. How the hell are they gonna still get this out in 6 weeks? Is the CGI face-replacement tech really that good? It'll also be interesting to see how a different actor and their performance works with another actor whose performance was based one their chemistry with a different actor. Like some quasi-Kuleshov effect.

They shot the majority of his stuff before he died, but rewrote a big scene he had from a face-to-face to a letter read by woody harrelson. They digitally added him in a couple other scenes, but for the most part it's him in the film.

Holy poo poo.

quote:

The country�s AQI�which encompasses measurements of a range of pollutants, including PM2.5�uses a scale of 0 to 500 to convey �good� to �severe� air-quality ratings. On Wednesday, Delhi's AQI rating reached toward the 800s, with some areas seeing an AQI of 999.

A score of 999 means it's off the scale and they have no way to measure how high it actually is.

Sure, and then you have Muhammad's wife Aisha bint Abu Bakr who was nine or ten when the marriage was consummated. It doesn't make it right or ok.

It's ridiculous how some religious people try to default to these being alright after society as a whole has long since decided that it is not.

Nostalgia4Butts: Jun 1, 2006; WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

quote:

Enrollment rates in Obamacare plans were sharply higher in the first days of this open enrollment compared with last year.
This sign-up season is the first full one under the Trump administration, which opposes Obamacare.
Advocates for Obamacare fear that cuts to outreach efforts and other Trump actions will depress overall enrollment this year.
The rate of enrollment in Obamacare health insurance plans was sharply higher in the first week of sign-ups compared with last year, official data released Thursday show.
The data confirm earlier reports that there was a big upsurge in consumer demand for individual insurance plans on the first day of open enrollment, Nov. 1, the first season under the Obamacare-opposing Trump administration.
The number released Thursday suggests that consumer demand for Obamacare plans almost doubled over last year in the first days of enrollment. But it remains to be seen if that pace will continue.
A total of 601,462 people in the first four days of open enrollment selected a plan on HealthCare.gov, the federal Obamacare exchange that serves much of the United States, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
A total of 464,140 customers renewed coverage, and 137,322 new consumers selected a plan on HealthCare.gov.
CMS did not release data for the first four days of open enrollment for last season for comparison with the new data.
However, a CMS release in November 2016 said that in the first two weeks of open enrollment for that month there were 1,008,218 plan selections on HealthCare.gov.
Those two weeks encompassed just 12 days of actual enrollment, given the way CMS measures sign-up periods.
That means that each four-day period last year in the first weeks of open enrollment saw about 336,000 sign-ups on average.
The first four days of sign-ups this year was 1.79 times as much as that tally.
Data released by CMS on Thursday and last November does not include enrollments on the dozen Obamacare marketplaces run by individual states and the District of Columbia.
California's exchange, the largest state-run Obamacare marketplace, said its enrollment business was about 25 percent higher on the first day of sign-ups this year compared with last year.
Maryland's exchange had 70 percent higher enrollment on the first day.
Lori Lodes, a former top CMS official, said the data released Thursday "is a great start to open enrollment and is further evidence that people want health insurance and that they're finding coverage they can afford."
"The administration has caused a lot of anxiety for people over the last year when it comes to health care but there's also been a more in-depth conversation about what Obamacare really is about," said Lodes, co-founder of Get America Covered, an enrollment advocacy group.
"So when most people logged onto HealthCare.gov they found plans that are more affordable than they expected."
Obamacare advocates like Lodes have feared that the Trump administration's hostility to the Affordable Care Act will lead to a marked decrease in the final enrollment tally relative to last year, particularly because of a sharp decrease in outreach budgets. There is also a much shorter sign-up window this year compared with last year in much of the country.
Open enrollment ends Dec. 15 in states served by HealthCare.gov.
Most other states have longer enrollment periods, but all will end by late January.
The ACA requires most Americans to have some form of health coverage during the year or pay a fine that can be as much as 2.5 percent of household income.

Josh Marshall at TPM had a note about how he thought southern Evangelicals had a streak of forgiving past sins if the sinner repented which struck me as a bit retrograde and stereotypical but.....gently caress.

Evangelicals are fatalists. They don't care how terrible a candidate is so long as they continue the crusade to subjugate women, ban the gays, and fight the Muslims.

I came up in that culture for about a decade because my parents met at a baptist junior college and forums goon Prester Jane really nailed what makes those people tick. The religion itself is just a convenient latching point for a particular type of narcissism and if they had never been exposed to christianity, it'd be something else. You can see the same dynamics at play in almost any subculture that offers an "X cannot fail, X can only be failed, you should've X'd harder" rallying point.
