PRAWN Blog: March 2015
http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Expanding on a Faceboook post. A new proposed law, that rules separating your employer from you social media accounts should be relaxed. I very strongly oppose doing that. I felt bad for him, but also felt that he opened himself up by mentioning his family in the first place. That gave our supervisors a legitimate reason to pursue the matter further. I agree with the statement, but only up to a point. Employers are properly concerned with the public, openly accessible part. Simply be given the benefit of...

PRAWN Blog: January 2015

Figured I'd better hurry up and see Birdman. Before it disappeared from the theaters as it was already down the three showings a day and was in one of the very back theaters in the cineplex. Glad I did! Eh, probably not, but it's fun to think they do. West Philly Families Solidarity March. When do we want it? A parent spoke at the end, braving the rain with no umbrella:
“When we were planning, someone asked us, ‘What do we want from this march? 8217; I thought about it, and realized I want to see you, to...

PRAWN Blog: Comics and popularity
http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/comics-and-popularity.html
So I see that for Spider-Woman. I looked at the sales figure for May of this year and was surprised to see that it was a little under 30,000. Granted, it ranked at number 75. Number 64) shows 109 issues on sale for that month. As they say, the lead actor is frequently just a handsomer version of the director. Hmm, the artist is half-Hawaiian. Has the popularity of comics declined or have they stayed about the same? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Philadelphia Regional Anti-War Network. PRAWN's missio...

PRAWN Blog: November 2014
http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
My initial idea was to see Ouija. As that has Bianca Santos in it, who is the star of Happyland. A series on MTV. But Ouija is only showing once per evening, after 10:00, so I figured I wouldn't see the horror flick after all. No biggie, I saw a few horror movies as a teenager but haven't seen any for many, many years. So I saw no need to break the pattern. Happyland is pretty cool though, a behind-the-scenes look at a Disney-ish amusement park. Quite good. The Jon Stewart movie. Add post to Digg. Educat...

PRAWN Blog: Mad Max: Fury Road
http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/mad-max-fury-road.html
Mad Max: Fury Road. Takes place entirely in a desert. Except for a few spots here and there. No real buildings anywhere and the one tree we see in the whole film doesn't survive (not that anyone wanted. To destroy it, but hey, y'know? Lots and lots of specialized vehicles. And as no one wanted to fall off or get left behind, it was kind of like it was taking place at sea, with a few islands every now and then. And yes, I've seen all three of the earlier episodes.

PRAWN Blog: Bush speaks on Obama's Mideast policy
http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/bush-speaks-on-obamas-mideast-policy.html
Bush speaks on Obama's Mideast policy. GW Bush “at first remarked that the idea of re-entering the political arena was something he didn’t want to do.” His first impulse was the correct one. He really should have stayed quiet. Bush suggests that Obama could have renegotiated that agreement to allow a least a substantial contingent of US troops to remain. But. Cited three works, all from 2006, showing that Iraqis in general had a very negative opinion of seeing permanent US bases in Iraq. The American rec...

A community responds to police abuses. The St. Louis Symphony was interrupted. Right after intermission with about 50 people dropping banners and singing “Justice for Mike Brown.” The woman pictured above was caught on camera, apparently wondering why her previously-pleasant evening was being so brazenly disrupted. The fellow beside her, looking up at the balcony, was filmed moments previously, smiling broadly. The St. Louis American. Of what had happened in the convenience store in any event. Of the St&...

Second Clinton vs Third Bush. Jesse Ventura ran a list of how Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are two peas in a pod. 1 is interesting. I ran a search on “hillary clinton entitled” and the first two pages of results are solidly hard line right-wingers. Not surprised to see that lefties don't see her that way, but interesting to see that middle-of-the-road people don't see her that way, either. 9 Good to hear they both believe that climate change is a real and serious thing. 13 Green groups are divided. Inter...

Between rock and hard place. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) complains about Obama's approach to ISIS. Problem is, McCain is in kind of a bind. A while ago). McCain wishes to replace Iran in Iraq with American “boots on the ground,” but Americans are very unenthusiastic about getting back into a war in Iraq. A Quinnipiac University poll (18-22 Nov 2014) asked respondents : ". Do you think the United States military should have combat troops on the ground in Iraq or not? ISIS and Iran and the unwillingness of ...

http://prawnblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/avengers-age-of-ultron.html
Avengers – Age of Ultron. In the first Avengers. Movie, someone ran a property insurance program to see how much money would be needed to reconstruct New York City after all the events in the movie occurred. They figured about $160 billion would do it. Later, for Man of Steel. Superman), they ran it again and figured it would take about $700 billion. For Avengers – Age of Ultron. Dunno, but it would add up to WAY more! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Philadelphia Regional Anti-War Network. NOTE: All ...
