Somehow learning that Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA is almost as shocking to me as the firearms fuckup.

I hope the victims and their families get the entire movie budget and also the Baldwins disappear forever.

Maybe get a union propmaster next time. It's not like the production company wasn't already saving money by filming in New Mexico.

Tag yourself. I'm the unauthorized lube movement.

Can we have the thread’s title changed to unauthorized lube movement?

The Navy thread already claimed that one.

What I'm still confused about is one shot killing one and critically wounding another, unless it was a through-and-through. Also how the gently caress any kind of live ammo got on set and this not being an overpressured barrel obstruction / blank fired too close to person kind of deal.

Brilliant negotiation tactic. "You're gonna either concede to our demands or listen to Fran talk for several hours, your choice"

Someone speculated the gun was being shot at the camera since the cinematographer was hit - shrapnel maybe?

That Works posted:

If it was a plugged barrel prop but loaded with an actual shell I imagine that's gonna go badly for everyone downrange.


whatever you feel about Alec Baldwin I legit feel bad for the dude on this one, I seriously doubt any of this was intentional or directly his fault and it's probably gonna gently caress that dude up pretty bad. Note I feel even worse for the victims and their families ofc, but its lovely for everyone in this kinda deal

Supposedly the director called for another shot of the scene and his response was "How about I shoot you instead!" and aimed the gun at them and pulled the trigger.

JFC, do you have a source for this?

The report repeatedly cites Motherboard reporting showing how wireless companies have historically sold sensitive consumer location data to dubious third parties, often without user consent. This data has subsequently been abused from everyone from bounty hunters and stalkers to law enforcement and those posing as law enforcement.

The FTC was quick to note that because ISPs have access to the entirety of the data that flows across the internet and your home network, they often have access to even more data than what’s typically collected by large technology companies, ad networks, and app makers.

That includes the behavior of internet of things devices connected to your network, your daily movements, your online browsing history, clickstream data (not only which sites you visit but how much time you linger there), email and search data, race and ethnicity data, DNS records, your cable TV viewing habits, and more.

In some instances ISPs have even developed tracking systems that embed each packet a user sends over the internet with an individual identifier, allowing monitoring of user behavior in granular detail. Wireless carrier Verizon was fined $1.3 million in 2016 for implementing such a system without informing consumers or letting them opt out.

“Unlike traditional ad networks whose tracking consumers can block through browser or mobile device settings, consumers cannot use these tools to stop tracking by these ISPs, which use ‘supercookie’ technology to persistently track users,” the FTC report said.

Nuclear Tourist posted:

Not sure where else to post this, but I wrote this article several years ago about a US Army sergeant who sold nuclear weapons secrets to the Soviet Union back in the 50's. Long story short, the army sergeant in question was eventually convicted of espionage and was stabbed to death by his own son (Robert, aka Bobby, a Vietnam vet) during a visitation at the federal penitentiary in Lewisburg, PA. Bobby was convicted of the murder of this own dad, and finally let out of prison in 1983, and no one appears to know what happened to the son after that. I had pretty much forgotten all about it until I got an email back in late august saying that someone had commented on the article. And then yesterday, another comment by the same person:



I have no way of knowing if this person is legit or not, but it strikes me as a weird forgotten corner of the internet to do some trolling if it isn't. Not trying to toot my own horn but I figured that if what this person is saying is true, then I might as well give them what minimal exposure I can manage, though I imagine if Bobby wanted to be found he would probably have been so by now (assuming he's still alive).

Sotomayor concurs in part and dissents in part. Leaving the stay in place from the fifth seems to indicate they're going to say that the DoJ cannot sue and the district court cannot enjoin the state for SB8.

I'm rapidly souring on the chances of the whole thing - it's pretty clear the supreme court is going to toss it on standing grounds, and if they don't, that circuit basically believes abortion is murder in all cases, even if the pregnancies are rape/incest-induced.

Strategic stupidity of "well shucks, we haven't seen this enforcement mechanism, let's wait a few years" while the conservative justices all appear with McConnell in "We're not political!" rallies. My vasectomy recovery is taking goddamn forever and I don't regret it a single bit.

Mr. Nice! posted:

I don't want to be a doomer, but I believe that Roe is dead before the end of the year.

If they are going to rule in the DoJ and abortion providers' favor, why would they leave the fifth circuit stay in place? The only justification I can fathom is malice: to make it hurt as hard as possible for women before giving them a fig leaf, but if they are actively malicious in that way, there's no reason for them to leave Roe in place. Thus I return to the same conclusion.

Don't worry y'all, the legislative body will listen to the public and draft a bill legalizing abortion any minute now I'm sure
