dang, sounds like we should stop paying that bus company while we assess how their hiring and practices got so hosed up and determine if/what their role should be going forward while we fund alternate transportation methods in the mean time

quote:



Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea are working on a female Kurdish militia drama series covering Kurdish female forces’ battle against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria, Hollywood Reporter website said on Monday.

The project, set to be completed through theirHiddenLight production company, will be their first scripted TV series based on Gayle Tzemach Lemmon's upcoming book “The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice,'’ it said.

U.S.-backed Kurdish forces defeated ISIS in Kobani, a Kurdish town located on the Turkish-Syrian border, which was the site of one of their biggest massacres of civilians in the Syrian civil war when ISIS slaughtered over 200 people in 2014.

The jihadist organisation was eventually driven out by Kurdish forces seen as an existential threat to Turkey over their links to an insurgency on Turkish soil. The ISIS siege on Kobani ignited mass protests in Turkey's majority-Kurdish southeast.

The book, set to be published Feb. 16 by Penguin Press “is based on hundreds of hours of interviews and on-the-ground reporting about the all-female Kurdish militia who took on ISIS in Northern Syria and won,’’ the website said.

"The Daughters of Kobani is an extraordinary account of brave, defiant women fighting for justice and equality," Hollywood Reported cited Clinton as saying. "We created HiddenLight to celebrate heroes — sung and unsung alike — whose courage is too often overlooked, and we could not be more thrilled to bring this inspiring story to viewers around the world."

There is no network attached to the project as of yet.

I still think about that every so often

that guy looked through all her old facebook pictures years and years into the past, trying desperately to find evidence she had ever dated a white dude, and all he ended up with was "these two white brothers were both looking vaguely in your direction in this picture" and "asian dudes are close enough to white, that totally counts!!!!" and decided that was good enough to publish like an exposé

I forgot to preface my Nixon quote with a story about how I was reading about healthcare reform from the past and the further back you go the better the plans were. Like you had FDR wanting to put all medical care into the New Deal, and Teddy Roosevelt literally ran national health insurance in 1912, he even included free funerals paid for with a tax on monopolies.
