If anyone needs it or knows someone who does:

FYI

The Capital Area Food bank will open five free pop-up markets this weekend for federal employees and contractors affected by the partial shutdown. Fresh produce and other groceries will be available from 9 a.m. to noon on Jan 12 at these locations:

1050 Brentwood Road NE
6800 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, Virginia
10480 Campus Way South, Largo, Maryland
7074 Allentown Road, Camp Springs, Maryland
12051 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland

Furloughed workers and contractors who are D.C. residents can visit Bread for the City’s Northwest or Southeast centers for a five-day supply of groceries. The Humane Rescue Alliance has a Pet Pantry that federal workers who live in D.C. can use to help feed their animals.

Also what the gently caress is with his transition from TV show actor to movie star, then back to TV game show host? I can’t imagine a knock-off of American Gladiators is paying that well.

I think it's because when he first became an actor, nobody gave a poo poo. Only when he started doing movies that embraced and attracted his wrestling audience did he find success. He was able to transition into an actual Hollywood actor, but I think he realizes that without his core audiences he could fade away from Hollywood like other non-actors who became actors have. People like Ronda Rousey became media sensations but faded away once their original audience lost interest. I think he's trying to build audiences in different markets now: wrestling, these weird game shows for the fitness/crossfit crowd, etc. so he'll always have a wide market of people interested in him.

To add to Crow Janes post if you want to donate to a food bank donate money instead of food. Giving food means they have to hire sorting staff and often end up tossing most of it. With money donations that can buy wholesale fresh fruit and veggoes a lot cheaper and get a heck of a lot more food for needy families without a lot overhead.

Edit: LightningKnight, maybe the next fundraiser could be for foodbanks?

I was curious to know how conservative radio is handling all of this, so I tuned in, and... the host was trying to mock Jim Acosta for a video he did on the border, and he was citing Cher as a sign that Democrats are losing.

There really are two Americas.


e: this is how Cher tweets, for reference
