TIME Lists Companies that Sell Services to ICE -- Just In Case You Want to Boycott Them

The young woman who defeated Joe Crowley in New York last night ran on a platform which included a call to abolish ICE. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the mainstream media is getting onboard with the idea. One prime example popped up in my timeline this morning and took me by surprise. It's an article from Time Magazine about Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but it has nothing to do with raids, deportations or employers hiring illegals. It's a list of "15 organizations doing business with ICE and how much they're making."

[W]e live in the era of the boycottocracy and it’s particularly prominent in progressive circles. ICE is currently a favorite target on the left (apparently for having the temerity to follow the instructions they receive from the President and his cabinet) and it’s not hard to imagine these organizations quickly becoming the focus of their wrath. There's zero chance that Time doesn't know this, so are they just stoking the fire to see if people will begin threatening these schools and businesses with financial ruin unless they cut ties?

Maybe people should start boycotting anyone who advertises in TIME or does any business with TIME.

79 I subscribed to TIME for 25 years, but shitcanned after it became relentlessly leftists.

For several years thereafter, they tried to get me to re-subscribe, sometimes with ridiculously generous offers (obviously to pump their circulation numbers for advertisers). I used to write on their missives "Drop the commie crap and then I'll reconsider," and send it to them in their stamped, self-addressed envelopes.

After a while they gave up.

I don't know if it's still a thing, but once upon a time subscriptions purchased through Publisher's Clearing House sometimes cost the magazine money because the prices were so low.

244 I've just spent the last 10 minutes researching the "political stance" of the Capital Gazette -- the newspaper where the mass-shooting just happened.

And my assessment: It's NOT a heavily left-leaning newspaper. In fact, it's almost deliberately middle-of-the-road and noncontroversial. If anything, I might lean a little to the left, but nothing to the degree of my of the major dailies in the US these days.

Most of their coverage is about local crimes and "fireman rescue cat in a tree" type stories, and city council arguments about garbage collection and other local-news trivia.

So it hardly seems like the kind of paper anyone would target for political reasons.

Thus, my guess is that it was a personal grievance, unrelated to politics: Either a disgruntled ex-employee, or a romantic relationship gone bad, etc.

I could be wrong, but it just seems so unlikely to target this small-time middling nonpoliticized paper for political reasons.

Harlan was never one to mince words. After having seen some of GR's scripts for Have Gun -- Will Travel, I'm kind of on board with this sentiment. GR often had a great idea, but sometimes it got lost in the execution, or there was a big plot hole that never gets filled. (Like Spock risking his entire career to bring Chris Pike back to Talos, and Star Fleet letting skate instead of executing him. Something missing there.)

What GR did well, I understand, was rewrite scripts into better condition than they were before.

Ellison did a lot of TV work in the Sixties especially: Outer Limits, one ep of Star Trek and two of Man from U.N.C.L.E., and at least one of Burke's Law. He was around a lot. Of course, he was younger then, and maybe less contentious and more willing to grit his teeth, take the money, and move on.

So my friend dragged me there. We watied in line for a while and then got to the front and my friend started babbling praise and starstruck idolization at Ellison as he handed him the book to sign.

What was Ellison's response?

Well, I don't remember verbatim what he said, but it was along the lines of, "Hey, loser, shut the fuck up. I have nothing to say to you. Next!"

My friend was truly shaken and devastated. He never once mentioned Harlan Ellison's name for the rest of the night or ever since. Not even once. Threw the signed book away.

Yes, one of his most well known. Ellison's signature move was to have you start off thinking things were normal, and then have the morality of the situation flipped totally on its head by the end. Like how Kirk and Spock figured out that the only way to restore their time line was for them to make sure that Edith Keeler, who was a beautiful, innocent women, would die.

Now that I think of it, Ellison killed off a lot of women in his stories.

The executives kept saying they wanted something big -- really big. Ellison proposed a BIG story where, in an alternate timeline, the entire history of Earth has been changed somehow, and Kirk and Co. have to fix it. The executive peered at him and said, "Can you get dinosaurs into it?"

Harlan got up and left.

Like the failed bank robber in CO who retreated to a Planned Parenthood office across the street and used it for cover to shoot at police responding to the call? So New York City mobilized its police to protect NYC Planned Parenthood offices from the great danger? I wonder how many crimes were committed at that point that would never be solved because the mayor was busy using the police to show solidarity with a murderous organization that was in no danger at all.

Secondary car bombs, or bombs, are a real and deadly problem.

You stage a primary event, bomb, shooting, whatever and wait for all the responders to get there then detonate additional bombs, or snipe, or whatever so you can kill as many EMS, Police, Fire, Feds etc.

Searching for secondary event devices is now standard.

So my friend dragged me there. We watied in line for a while and then got to the front and my friend started babbling praise and starstruck idolization at Ellison as he handed him the book to sign.

What was Ellison's response?

Well, I don't remember verbatim what he said, but it was along the lines of, "Hey, loser, shut the fuck up. I have nothing to say to you. Next!"

My friend was truly shaken and devastated. He never once mentioned Harlan Ellison's name for the rest of the night or ever since. Not even once. Threw the signed book away.

He gave me a fishy eye, but he signed.

But he will be remembered, and missed.

391 Did Ellison write A Boy and His Dog?

I saw the movie not too long ago. 1970s. Starring a yong Don Johnson. Pretty good flick, I thought. Could not get made today. Amoral; very rapey and very untroubled by it."

Yes, one of his most well known. Ellison's signature move was to have you start off thinking things were normal, and then have the morality of the situation flipped totally on its head by the end. Like how Kirk and Spock figured out that the only way to restore their time line was for them to make sure that Edith Keeler, who was a beautiful, innocent women, would die.

Now that I think of it, Ellison killed off a lot of women in his stories.

In fairness, sort of, I think the situation had the lead in a life-or-death situation. Either he was likely to die, or his mutant telepathic dog was, and the lead guy wouldn't have survived long without the dog in the post-apocalyptic world they were in.

But I don't recall exactly. Either way, it was supposed to be shocking, and sort of funny.

406 I met him at the World Science Fiction Convention decades ago.

He had agreed to host a charity auction for a fellow author who had passed, leaving his widow with massive debts. it had been going for over an hour when a piece of art work was presented, of a scantily clad fairy character. Suddenly, a CBS news camera crew was front and center, blocking the view of the bidders. he asked them to move, and when they refused, ordered them out.

Some stiff in a suit tried to protest and he flipped. he noted that there had been manuscripts, movie memorabilia and other art work, and that was what they focused on. he stated that this was the reason why science fiction fandom was treated as being nothing but spock ears and 'pervy' art; nothing else was shown.

Saw Harlan Ellison at the 1978 Phoenix SF fan convention Iguanacon (or however they spelled it). He was supposed to write a story in the lobby of the hotel we were staying at.
IIRC I never saw him up there actually writing a story.
Also, saw Ellison with Robert Silverberg in the room where they were selling science fiction. Both of them seemed remarkably short.

I found four issues of a science fiction fanzine called
Moebius Trip Library (SF Echo). Best thing about that convention for me. Still in my library.
