ICE has revised its rules to say that detainees who work in custody aren't even required to get $1 per day, after a request from private prison giant Geo Group.

Geo Group also asked ICE to remove lines saying contractors needed to follow state and local laws around the treatment of detainees, asked ICE amend language to support its legal position in these cases, and asked that the standards specify that detainees are not employees of the facilities where they work.

In addition to removing the dollar per day minimum, ICE's new national standards complied with several of Geo Group's other requests, for instance the document now says detainees are not employees “and are not entitled to wages or benefits under applicable wage laws or labor regulations.”

@bornposting I remember watching License to Kill on TV with my family when I was 8 or 9 and was so horrified and fascinated by it, very important childhood memory

Americans have such strong, visceral reactions against having to think about the things they’re doing. A coddled, infantilized people.

@thamosdeaf @Srirachachau Scream appropriates elements of the genre in a subversive way in order to critique it. Scary Movie does it simply as a means for comedy. There’s a lot of overlap between the two but they are distinct and that’s why the movies are so tonally different.

I get the point you’re making (though I don’t fully agree) but the main joke of the scene is that Donkey is talking like a therapist.

“NOW we’re getting somewhere…”

[Possum Reviews @ReviewsPossum]

You know that scene in Shrek where he confesses to Donkey his insecurity about how being ugly makes him see himself as undeserving of companionship, and that he acts like a monster because people treat him like one?

Did you notice that scene doesn't have any therapy speak?

"pretentious" is the word the unambitious wield at the ambitious.

Lmao I told y’all.

Even if you’ve never bought a ticket for a Spirit flight in your life you’ve benefited from the company’s existence.

That’s why a federal judge blocked the merger between them and Jet Blue.

@Srirachachau A big theme in Scorsese’s films is how Americans love being conned. They willingly seek it out, it gives the pleasure. He’s so good at depicting it that the rubes can’t help themselves even when the movie’s laughing at them

@1000TimesYes They put in some Fox News people and neocons in there to balance it out

John Waters, who turns 80 on April 22, still wants to direct:

“I was going to adapt my first novel, ‘Liarmouth. 'It was optioned. I wrote the script. Aubrey Plaza was going to star, but nobody will give us the money.” https://t.co/7ZbLCuuA04

@WillSloanEsq I felt kinda smug watching it thinking “How could people in the 80s have thought this was real? It’s shot from different angles and these people are obviously actors” but then I thought about all those ragebait skits people fall for on here everyday and was like nvm

(Wes Anderson is the closest thing American cinema has to a Thomas Pynchon but unfortunately most of my fellow Pynchon-heads don’t want to admit it.)
