My very first morning filming Detention in LA, which was supposed to be an $800k shoot, Iatse showed up with a ballot box and said the crew was going to "vote" to turn it union or I get shut down. I had no choice but to flip it and spent the rest of the shoot scrambling to find money every three days. After it was done, my own DGA union kept sending me bills to pay for fines on a movie I spent my own money on. Of course all this expanded my budget which then put me in another tier of SAG which then increased the budget again. It was an endless union squeeze that kept pushing the budget up, with me holding the bill. As they say in Goodfellas, Fuck You Pay Me.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is running for Congress, said the West Bank and Gaza are the same as her own district in New York City.
She said in both cases the displacement is caused by “corporate interests” buying up the land.
This might be one of the most intellectually dishonest things I've ever heard. Jews are not "corporate interests," those insistent on living in the West Bank do so because there is a deep cultural and religious connection to that land in particular.
Palestinians also have a deep connection to that land, thus the conflict is born.
Also, you're comparing the district you run to Gaza? Really?
@SVG__Collection Pretty sure this is from that British live music show Penny whistle something. My cousin got episodes on DVD and we would watch it. I remember him specifically saying about this performance, "That drummer is just cookin".
@ajlamesa@flexkavana05 And what handling of their funds in their past would give you that impression? Considering the MTA is essentially a pseudo tax shelter to shift debt.
@ajlamesa@flexkavana05 Can you sincerely say you can trust the MTA management or New York(both city and state), with more funding from the Federal Government? Bc that is how it would have to work.
Pauline went into the lions’ den at the Press Club in Canberra and absolutely smashed it.
It was a stellar performance, her answering and despatch of the lefty journalists questions was a master class.

Imagine traveling to the States thinking the World Cup would be a highlight of your life...
...and within days you've become a modern Tocqueville, chronicling a nation and its people in real time for the entire world, during what now amounts to a VIP all-access tour of America.
As an active Scouting leader it's important for me to address the comments under this amazing display of civic service by Troop 36.
First of all, they are doing nothing wrong. The US Flag Code is the only guidance that matters. Everything else is either tradition or opinion. Comments like these are exactly why Scout units do not want to do these ceremonies; because people who know nothing, but are strongly confident in their ignorance, come charging in to berate them.
Which brings me to point 2: why do so many people feel like they need to try and beat down these kids who are taking time from their weekend to perform a critical civic duty? Does it really make you feel stronger to ignorantly yell at children? Are you doing it because you feel like you need more attention than they do?
Third... Are you volunteering? Are you performing these ceremonies at your VFW or other veterans group? Or are you just yelling from the sidelines like so many love to do. Feel free to volunteer yourself, it's cheap and easy to do so. You have a chance to improve the experience for both yourself and others. Are you even interested in that? Or are you only interested in using the Flag as a means to attack people and groups you don't like?
Great job Scouts. Everyone else can sit down and shut up.
