#KeyBridge Tragedy, moment by moment:
1:23:18 AM - Dali appears on the Port of Baltimore cam
1:24:18 AM - Dali has a clear engine failure causing the lights to go fully dark and, likely, loss of steering

1:25:31 AM - Power is restored to the Dali
1:25:47 AM - Black smoke bellows from the Dali, likely the after effect of what ever happened to restore power
1:26:07 AM - The Dali begins to make its turn toward the Key Bridge

The story is a DISASTER, especially upon further review.
And it's right from jump, if you think about it: Naruto's pals all got promoted, he remained a Genin despite literally saving the Village from Gaara destroying it with Shukaku.
And oh yes, good 'ol Sasuke...how I hate him! Let's break it down:
The timeskip was Jiraiya taking Naruto to basically prepare him for the Akatsuki gunning for Kurama.
Turns out, after Jiraiya fucked around w/the seal and nearly died, Jiraiya promptly cut off training and had him do basics.
Thus, improving not much.

Kyle Busch opened up yesterday about his contract uncertainty and how things are way different from the last time he faced something like this 15 years ago at the end of his run with Hendrick Motorsports. In 2007, Kyle only had himself and an agent and it was pretty easy.
Now he's got a wife of 12 years in Samantha and 2 kids in 7 YO Brexton and now 4 month old daughter Lennix to think about as well along with his Truck/Xfinity team in Kyle Busch Motorsports.
That's A LOT.

A reminder that a literal creator is head of Cartoon Network in Michael “Harvey Birdman” Ouweleen.
You can just imagine what him and Sam Register are having to deal with right now.
I feel AWFUL for those two… Sam and Michael aren’t like others in the company on being total Zaslav puppets.
They’ve been as CN/WB for a generation.
They likely had plans now kaput because of the Discovery s**thead bosses.
Who knows the fate of what’s been in the can is now that HBO Max is off the table…

I cannot fathom any Entertainment executive deciding that Sesame Street is coins in a couch cushion, but I also aren't surprised that's the case neither.
Eventually, you were gonna have someone who decided its monetary value takes precedents over the cultural/educational value. Jim Henson was very much aware of this, which is why he told Michael Eisner he could not have Sesame Street or its set of Muppets.
He knew the moment they were owned by a commercial company that it would be a wrap, Jack.

Sesame Workshop cutting that deal with HBO was a grave mistake that spits on Jim Henson’s memory.
I’ll always believe that. Jim Henson never wanted Sesame Street overly commercialized or something you had to pay to see.
Sesame Workshop violated that by putting the “Street” behind a first-run paywall and thus making ppl pay to see the freshest content from the “Street”.

Starting #ThePrincessHBO, which gives Diana’s story the “June 17th, 1994” treatment of using nothing but archival footage to tell its story.
This is gonna be a wild one… Charles and Di really did look like they truly loved each other in those early interviews.
The “fairy tale couple” vibe comes thru.
They really did play us all, very well indeed…

Never mind bravery of publicly coming out, it took A LOT for Carl Nassib to come out PRIVATELY.
One of them he came out to was Jon Gruden who no doubt gave him full support.
Imagine then seeing same coach viciously attacking Michael Sam's drafting using slurs a plenty to boot. Him being a homophobic POS on Michael Sam is probably why Mark Davis had no choice but to pull the plug on Gruden.
That email probably did him in, along with the racist Eric Reid emails (which makes you wonder what the Kaep-related emails that no doubt exist said).

Folks, with all the talk about inflation, the chickens that the Pandemic has TRULY created are about to come home to roost as we're about to potentially see the most Industrial Actions/Strikes happening all at once in quite a long time.
#Striketober is about to get HOT & SPICY. Already striking are:
-2,243 Buffalo-area Hospital workers of CWA Local 1133
-1,400 BCTGM-aligned workers at 4 Kellogg's plants
-1,100 UMWA-aligned coal miners in Alabama
About 4,500 workers.
That number could soon balloon to over 100K on some kind of picket line.

#IATSEstike
And so @IATSE President @matthewloeb has given a zero hour: 12:01 AM Pacific/3:01AM Eastern, Monday.
And ladies and gentlemen, we have a countdown clock.
iatse.net/strike-date-se… They'll probably keep talking today and tomorrow but if there's no vision of a deal by Friday then they'll cut it off.
If there's no movement by Friday how can there be over the weekend?
I think the chances of a strike are very very good at this point...

Columbus was literally put in chains on his own ship and jailed for six weeks and only got a fourth voyage b/c of the Spanish King, said voyage ending with the Gov of Hispaniola interfering with attempts to rescue him after being stranded on Jamaica. This is not a case of Columbus being hella loved and “woke people” denigrating him.
His Genocidal actions were known and despised IN HIS OWN TIME, WTF is that s**t?

He owned his decision and rightfully noted his decision was forced by the direct deal Trump and Pompeo cut with the Taliban along with the troop cut Trump ordered before he went out the door. Biden has been anti-Nation Building for over a decade now after it's clear it was a disaster in both Iraq (Iran-friendly Shi'ites took over, bloody Sectarianism arose which helped give birth to AQI and later Daesh/ISIS) and Afghanistan (Gov't became irrevocably corrupt).

Note: The September schedule for TCM is still just like any other month, in fact it looks like they'll be playing silent movies all day on 9/28.
What this looks like is something TCM does once a decade in a graphical overhaul and probably a change in the look of intros/outros. They do this once every 5-10 years or so.
And really, the current graphics package is one they've had for over a decade now and it's probably high time for an overhaul on that front.
Looks like they might have a different look (Virtual?) with the wraparound intros/outros too.

An era of Television is coming to an end tonight as Europe’s first Cable/Satellite-exclusive channel is signing off after nearly 40 years of service. The channel first signed on on April 26th, 1983 as Satellite aka “Super Station Europe”.
However, it faces financial issues largely due to Cable/Satellite Television being so new it’s not even fully operational yet.

Look, I had to do a mute spree on Afghanistan, man.
A lot of people are trying to convince me that Biden didn't do the right thing when he absolutely did b/c it's proving him right that we were/are wasting our damn time propping up an army/gov't failing on an hourly basis. I'm pretty sure this is Joe's "This is my decision" moment and it's standing up to a Foreign Policy and Military-Industrial establishment who have been feeding lies and bullshit for over a decade-plus and I applaud him for it.

Trump locked us into getting out of Afghanistan via the Doha Agreement agreed to by Trump and his Taliban kiss-ass negotiator.
I would remind everybody that there was very real plans by Trump to BRING THE TALIBAN TO CAMP DAVID ON 9/11 LAST YEAR.
We were gonna be held to that. And it helps that Biden was NEVER a fan of Nation Building Inc. of Afghanistan to begin with, esp as it came after we completely dumped the concept of Afghanistan the moment W decided to "finish Daddy's job" in Iraq.

Opening schools w/o any mitigation measures-by choice or, most likely, by order/threat-is a recipe for disaster.
Imagine images like this but in school after school in county after county in state after state all across America in buildings not equipped for COVID. I'm really worried about what's going to happen as COVID runs rampant through unvaccinated kids esp in states/districts that decided to listen to the angry White parents brained by the hypocritical f**ks in RWNJ Media.

We've been "training and advising" for 15 of the 20+ years we've been there.
And yet all these cities are falling, and there's a reason for that.
And the reason undermines the "80% of Afghanis want us there" line you're selling. We decided to launch an Afghanistan branch of Nation Build Inc because we had to do something there.
And JUST LIKE IN IRAQ we put in a Government that fell quick to corruption and susceptible to the forces we were trying to beat.

Well, as were under 83.5 minutes away from the biggest moment in the history of Hollywood, it's time to pay homage to the studio about to be taken over the God of Entertainment before Mickey turns out the Spotlights after 83 and a half years. Our story begins with two separate studios, Fox Film and 20th Century Pictures.
