20 So has *anyone* outside of the FCC board seen a copy of the new Internet regulations? I sure haven't, and yet some outfits (like Engadget) are saying this is going to be awesome. How do they know if they haven't seen what what voted on?

Good piece over at Spectator.org on why the FCC needs to be dismantled (as if we needed a discourse).

Hell is the only thing that ever gets redistributed. Under Capitalism, only a few suffer. Under Communism, everyone but the ruling class suffers.

Bonus for being part of the patriarchy and supporting misogeny. If you toss in being rapey, you're at the top of the payscale.

They are following the Pelosi template of having to pass it to know what's in it.

As far as I know this technological terror was constructed in secret.

I gravitated to Engadget several years ago after I deep-sixed the Gawker sites because they are all shitheads. Then something happened to Engadget relatively recently and they all turned into shitheads. I usually go to IGN for gaming stuff, but when it comes to an actual decent tech blog I'm a man without a country. Hate Wired and Ars is usually too full of themselves.

Do you know any youngish 22-40 African American actors? The ones I know well are all too old. This Roman Catholic drama ministry is looking for an AA man to have a role in their drama ministry about Augustus Tolton who is being considered for canonization in the RCC.

Best I've found out there is TechRaptor. It's kinda all over the place, but they were founded as a protest to the SJW takeover of tech & gaming media.

43 Give them the link. It tells what you need to send it . I'm not connected with them. I just know their work and it's very good and I have a warm spot for them because it's a Christian ministry:

48 The FCC rules will contain the requirement that all Americans must buy a smart TV with microphone and camera. We must willingly submit to our masters in DC. Big brother is closer than we think.

49 Seven minutes. 11 was from First to Nood Call.
Really short for a casting call, though, once you look at it that way.
One Moron job offer per post -- that would make an interesting sequence.

So, bum fights cops and grabs one of their firearms and refuses to drop it and is shot 6 times but its the cops fault. eyeroll.

I'm sick of idiots. When did people think it was okay to grab for a cop's gun? And they did taze him first and he still managed to grab the gun. His name was, Africa...

53 Somebody sent me link about an opt-out movement that is growing to fight the increased testing and data collection, much of it tied to common core. This is a worthy cause and I am very interested. Unfortunately it looks like it has a prog spin to it that wants our schools to be nice liberal drone factories. From their website:

United Opt Out National serves as a focused point of unyielding
resistance to corporate ed. reform. We demand an equitably funded,
democratically based, anti-racist, desegregated public school system for
all Americans that prepares students to exercise compassionate and
critical decision making with civic virtue.

I support the opt-out movement and looking for a way to get my kids off that track but the language above to me is a deal killer to supporting the organization. Why does a good idea like opt-out have to be defiled with lefty talking points?
