The Joan Fontaine Centenary Blogathon: 1952's Ivanhoe
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Movies. Tagged: Elizabeth Taylor, Emlyn Williams, Felix Aylmer, Finlay Currie, George Sanders, Guy Rolfe, Joan Fontaine, Norman Wooland, Robert Douglas, Robert Taylor. 11 comments
Sir Walter Scott wrote thrilling action-adventure novels with intricate plots, often about his country when it was in it's early days; Scotland. He also wrote his best known novel about that neighboring country, and sometime foe of Scotland, England, set during the rule of King Richard I. In the 1950s, using rich technicolor, the major movie studios were on a "historical" film fix, and MGM was no exception. Wanting to make money with such a film, producer Pandro S. Berman got the greenlight to make a lavish film version of Scott's novel, Ivanhoe. Curious to me, that the majority of the cast was British or had ties to the UK, but for the lead, American actor Robert Taylor was selected to play Ivanhoe. Two beautiful actresses were chosen to play the two women that love Ivanhoe, Elizabeth Taylor as Rebecca, and Joan Fontaine as Rowena.
Today, October 22nd, would have been Joan Fontaine's 100th birthday. She happened to be the younger sister of another great actress, Olivia de Haviland, who is still alive and kicking, at 101! To celebrate this great actress's life and career, be sure to visit Crystal's blog site at In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood and Virginie's at The Wonderful World of Cinema to read all of the great posts from other classic film fans.
Joan, I felt, lived an exotic type of life. She was born in Tokyo, Japan, to British parents. Sadly, her parents' marriage failed, and she and her sister Olivia were taken to CA by their mother, who had herself been on the stage as a young woman, and I think had an idea to have her daughters also pursue acting as a career. Olivia had successes first, and then Joan did, also. Joan's first film role was in 1935's No More Ladies playing a very minor role, but by 1940, better parts were coming her way and in 1941, she won the Best Actress Oscar for her part as the wife convinced her husband was out to kill her in Suspicion.
Ivanhoe, was an ensemble film, in that there were quite a few characters all revolving around the hero, Ivanhoe. For those not familiar with the novel or the film, I'll explain the plot, but it will contain spoilers. Wilfrid of Ivanhoe(Robert Taylor) is the son of a proud Anglo-Saxon man, Sir Cedric of Ivanhoe(Finlay Currie). Sir Cedric is also an angry man, angry that the dastardly Normans have conquered England, have brought their way of government and laws and taxes to crush the Anglo-Saxons with, and he is also mad that his son, Wilfrid, has decided to run off on a wild goose chase to find King Richard(Norman Wooland) who, while traveling to fight in the current crusade,has disappeared. Wilfrid does find King Richard, he is a prisoner of King Leopold of Austria, who is holding King Richard for a huge ransom. King Richard's slimy little brother, Prince John(Guy Rolfe), knows all about this but is enjoying ruling for his absent brother. Prince John decides to do nothing to spring his brother out of King Leopold's dungeon.
Super serious Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe returns to his father's home to ask his father for help in procuring the ransom money, but his father, Sir Cedric, refuses to raise any money to rescue a Norman King! Ivanhoe also takes time during his visit to woo his love, the fair Lady Rowena(Joan Fontaine), who is his father's ward. Several wayward travelers arrive at Sir Cedric's door, asking for food and a place to sleep for the night: two Norman knights, Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert(George Sanders) and Sir Hugh de Bracy(Robert Douglas) and Isaac of York, a Jewish money-lender(Felix Aylmer). During the meal, the Normans insult the Anglo-Saxons, they ogle Lady Rowena, and as word has spread that there's a money-lender at Sir Cedric's, several men attack Isaac when he is checking on his horse at the stable. The evil men's plan to steal Isaac's money fails when Ivanhoe rescues Isaac. Sir Cedric has ordered his son out of his sight by this time, so Ivanhoe offers to escort Isaac to his home. Wamba(Emlyn Williams), Sir Cedric's jester, asks to be Ivanhoe's squire, and accompanies Ivanhoe on the trip to Isaac's home. Once there, Isaac, so moved by Ivanhoe's rescue of him, gives him the money to pay for King Richard's ransom. Isaac also asks Ivanhoe to beseech the King that Jews in England won't be persecuted anymore. Isaac's beautiful daughter, Rebecca(Elizabeth Taylor), quietly gives Ivanhoe her late mother's jewels to add to the ransom amount. This is her way of thanking Ivanhoe for saving her father's life. Ivanhoe and Rebecca immediately are attracted to one another, but neither will act on their feelings due to the strict rules of the day forbidding Jews from marrying Gentiles.
Isaac thanking Ivanhoe for saving his life
Joan Fontaine as Lady Rowena
I won't go into too many more plot points, but there is a great jousting scene, a castle siege scene, Rebecca, Rowena, and Sir Cedric all get kidnapped by the evil Norman Knights, Sir Brian and Sir Hugh, as the two men are lusting after Rebecca and Rowena. The two knights also know that holding these three hostage will bring Ivanhoe to them and they can kill him. Prince John gets a whiff of a rumor that his big brother has been sprung from that dungeon in Austria, and he's becoming a nervous wreck. Of course, it will be Ivanhoe to the rescue, with some help from Robin Hood and his Merry Men(but they go by different names in this film.)
Evil, whiny, Prince John
Baddie Sir Brian trying to explain to Rebecca his love for her.
Lady Rowena thanks Rebecca for all she had done to save Ivanhoe's life
Robert Taylor, plays his role well; very stoic throughout. He doesn't laugh much because he has a lot of heroic things to do! George Sanders is great as nasty Norman Sir Brian, but then as the film progresses, we see his inner struggle with falling in love with a Jewish woman who doesn't love him. Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous in the film, and plays her character with sincerity and warmth and a quiet strength. Felix Aylmer, Finlay Currie, and Emlynn Williams are superb in their supporting roles, as is Guy Rolfe as Prince John. Joan Fontaine, while not billed before Elizabeth Taylor on the movie poster, plays Rowena as a calm, and wise woman, who just wants peace for England, and for peace to exist between the man she loves, Ivanhoe, and his father.
To see this rousing epic, that was one of the top 4 films in England in 1952, and earned MGM big box office profits, seek out Ivanhoe. As luck would have it, TCM will be airing Ivanhoe this week, on Oct. 25th, at 4:00 pm eastern/3:00 pm central. The film is also available via Amazon's instant rent. Here is the link to Youtube to see the British version of the film trailer.
Lovely Joan Fontaine
My Classic Movie Pick: Father of the Bride
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Movies. Tagged: Billie Burke, Don Taylor, Edward Streeter, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Bennett, Moroni Olsen, Russ Tamblyn, Spencer Tracy, Tom Irish, Vincent Minnelli. 1 comment
This weekend I'll be traveling with my family to attend a niece's wedding. With the wedding on my mind, I thought I'd write about the original Father of the Bride movie, made in 1950, that starred Spencer Tracy as the father, Joan Bennett as the mother, and Elizabeth Taylor as the bride.
Elizabeth Taylor as daughter, Kay, and Spencer Tracy as her dad, Stanley
What I appreciate about this film is the family's dynamic. In a flashback we meet Stanley Banks(Spencer Tracy)as he remembers and regales us with what has taken place in his family's life during the past 3 months: his beloved daugther, Kay(Elizabeth Taylor) announcing to the family at dinner one night that she is in love with Buckley Dunstan(Don Taylor-no relation to Liz!) and she has accepted his proposal of marriage.
Spencer Tracy as the father, Stanley, and Joan Bennett as the mother, Ellie.
Stanley immediately realizes that this wedding is going to cost money, especially as he listens in on wife Ellie(Joan Bennett) and Kay's animated discussions on dresses, music, food, flowers, caterers, registering for gifts, the cake! Younger brothers Tommy and Ben(Russ Tamblyn-the future Biff in West Side Story, and Tom Irish) wisely keep quiet and out of the way.
There is the obligatory dinner with the groom and his parents. Buckley only has eyes for his fiancee, and can't see how annoying his ultra chatty and flighty mother(the good witch from The Wizard of Oz herself, Billie Burke) is, nor how his father(Moroni Olsen) and Stanley really have nothing in common. The uncomfortable dinner isn't helped when Stanley drinks too much liquor and falls asleep in the Dunstan's living room!
Stanley keeps urging a small, simple wedding but with Buckley's mother now in on the plans with Kay and Ellie, Stanley's ideas are ignored and he quietly resigns himself to the ladies' plans, and to be there to walk Kay down the aisle and to give her away. As the wedding date draws near, Kay is upset when she finds out that Buckley's idea for a honeymoon is a fishing trip in Nova Scotia and she calls the wedding off! It's up to Stanley to calm her down and get her to see that she loves Buckley and that the two of them can work this disagreement out, and they do. There's also a funny dream sequence Stanley has about walking Kay down the aisle and how it goes horribly wrong.
Reassuring Kay that the honeymoon disagreement can be solved
In 1991, Buena Vista -part of the Disney Company, re-made Father of the Bride, starring Steve Martin as the harried father. While I enjoyed that version, you really owe it to yourself to see the original film. Spencer Tracy is excellent as the harried father, worried about the wedding costs, and also sad that his baby girl is all grown up and getting married. He gives the role warmth and tenderness, with a wry touch of humor. He is the calm center of the film, while all the other characters are running around due to wedding prep activities. Elizabeth Taylor is just gorgeous in this film, and she also put forth just the right touches as the young bride to be, full of love for her fiance, excited about getting married, emotional at times, but understandably so.
I am now wondering if this dress style was all the rage for weddings in the early 1950s?
Gorgeous shot of Elizabeth Taylor in the bridal dress for the movie
MGM made a good profit from the film's box office success and a sequel was made in 1951, Father's Little Dividend, with the plot being that Stanley has to come to grips with the fact that daughter Kay is going to have a baby and that means he'll become a grandfather. This film reunited the cast from the first film as well as director Vincent Minelli.
From time to time, this gem airs on Turner Classic, so check their monthly schedule online in order to catch when it will air again. The film is available on Amazon for purchase or to view through their instant rent program. The film is also available at TCM's Shop.
The film, originally based upon the best-selling novel of 1949, Father of the Bride, by Edward Streeter, is a charming look at a put-upon father and how he copes with his daughter's new role as bride and wife. Seek it out, and don't let the 1991 version be the only version of this movie that you see.

My Classic Movie Pick: Life With Father
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Movies. Tagged: Clarence Day Jr., Derek Scott, Edmund Gwenn, Elizabeth Taylor, God and my Father, Irene Dunne, Jimmy Lydon, Johnny Calkins, Life With Father, Life With Mother, Martin Milner, Michael Curtiz, William Powell, Zasu Pitts. 5 comments
I must have been 11 0r 12 years old the first time I saw the 1947 film Life With Father. I remember enjoying this old movie that I stumbled upon one afternoon. The movie was funny, it was shot in gorgeous technicolor and the side-plot of whether or not Father would ever get baptized was amusing to me.
When I next rewatched the movie, as a college student, I realized that a young Elizabeth Taylor was in this film and a very young Martin Milner, pre- Route 66 and Adam-12 days. I knew by this point that the parents were played by William Powell, who was pitch perfect as the bombastic father, Clarence Day Sr. and the lovely Irene Dunne was excellent as the loving, but fiscally- challenged wife, Vinnie. I also learned that Life With Father actually had its beginning as a book, written by Clarence Day Jr. From this book came a Broadway play and then the hit film. When I learned that blogs The Rosebud Cinema and Rachel's Theatre Reviews were hosting a blogathon devoted to stage plays that were turned into films, I decided to participate with Life With Father. Be sure to visit the two sites in order to read about more movies that began life on the stage!
Owning my late grandmother's encyclopedia set from 1957 I was able to find a bit more info on the real Clarence Day Jr. Born in 1874, he grew up in New York City, his father, Clarence Day Sr., nicknamed Clare, was a stockbroker. Day's grandfather, Benjamin H. Day founded the New York Sun newspaper. Clarence Jr. grew up in an upper middle class family, graduated from Yale, and went into the same brokerage firm where his father worked. Clarence Jr. joined the US Navy to fight in the Spanish-American War, but afterwards he became afflicted with crippling arthritis and had to live the rest of his life as a semi-invalid. During this time, Clarence Jr. began writing and his first major literary success was a book, God and My Father. Next came the book, Life With Father, a humorous look at life in 1890s New York City with his domineering, loud, but lovable father and the rest of the Day family. Clarence Jr. died in 1935, and several more of his books were published posthumously. The 1937 book, Life With Mother, was also successful and in 1939, Howard Lindsey and Russel Crouse wrote a play based upon God and My Father, Life With Father, and Life With Mother. What was astounding is that this new play, Life With Father, was such a hit with audiences that it ran for over seven years to become the longest-running non-musical play on Broadway.
Warner Brothers brought the rights to the play in order to turn it into a film and Donald Ogden Stewart wrote the screenplay. Michael Curtiz directed, and in addition to William Powell and Irene Dunne, as Clarence Sr. and Vinnie, they were joined by: Jimmy Lydon as Clarence Jr., Martin Milner as John, Johnny Calkins as Whitney, and Derek Scott as the youngest son, Harlan. Zasu Pitts portrays Vinnie's cousin, Cora, visiting from Ohio, and Elizabeth Taylor plays Mary Skinner, a traveling companion of cousin Cora's. Edmund Gwenn is Reverend Dr. Lloyd, who has to carefully deal with an unbaptized Clarence Sr., and maids for the family are played by Emma Dunn, Heather Wilde, Mary Field, Queenie Leonard, and Nancy Evans.
The Day Family. front row: Whitney, Father, Harlan. Back row: John, Clarence Jr., Mother.
The film is fast-moving, with various plots woven throughout it, all leading to the climax: will father get baptized or not? While this might not seem funny, and may seem downright boring, it is told with humor and wit. William Powell's performance is the glue that holds this story together and he was so good in the part that he was a Best Actor nominee at the Academy Awards in 1948.
Powell getting some direction advice from Curtiz.
Powell's Clarence Day Sr. is in his late 40s, and he works at an efficient office. He believes that his home should also be run in an efficient manner, and when it isn't-which is quite often-he feels compelled to honestly let all in the house know how displeased he is with this inefficiency. He is loud, curt, and a bit oblivious to the fact that his wife, Vinnie, is really running things at home the way she wants them run. Powell's Clarence adores his wife and even though she can frustrate him, especially when she doesn't understand purchasing items on credit and keeping to the budget he has set up, he still worships the ground she walks on. A running gag in the film is the Day family's inability to keep housemaids. The maids are all afraid of Mr. Day, especially when he makes a loud outburst about something that has displeased him. One maid, a new Irish immigrant, takes it as a bad sign that the Day's are all redheads and when Mr. Day let's loose with a loud complaint, this new maid quits. Vinnie scolds Clarence Sr. for scaring off yet another maid so she says he has to hire the next one. When Clarence Sr. gets to the employment agency to hire a new maid, the employment agency representative tells him, "Sir, before I can let any girl go from this establishment, I must know the character of the home in which she will be employed." To which Mr. Day replies, "Madam, I am the character of my home!"
Whitney saying his catechism
Cousin Cora's visit, which Vinnie knew about but forgot to tell Clarence Sr., is an irritant to him. He doesn't like the fact that they are putting Cousin Cora up at their house for a week and he rails against it, as he isn't running a hotel. He isn't also happy that Vinnie has told Cora that they are taking her and Mary, her traveling companion, to Delmonico's for dinner, a meal that Clarence Sr. doesn't want to have to pay for as he believes the restaurant is too expensive.
Tolerating Cousin Cora's visit
Father with his sons
The sons, especially the oldest two, Clarence Jr. and John, add to the swirling plots of the film. Clarence Jr. hates wearing his father's old suits and wants a new suit of his very own. He is hit with the love bug when he meets Mary Skinner and feels awkward around her if he's wearing one of father's suits. He gets the urge to act like father would act and this upsets poor Mary! John, always looking for a way to earn money, hires Clarence Jr. to help him sell a new medicine door to door. Then Clarence Jr. will earn enough money to buy himself a new suit. Unfortunately, John decides to give his mother some of the medicine and it doesn't help Vinnie at all, in fact she becomes very sick and the doctor has to be called.
The lovely Mary Skinner, no wonder Clarence Jr. gets a crush on her!
"Get off my lap!"
Telling Father he needs a new suit
Mother understands why he wants a suit of his own
Whitney, the third son, is practicing his catechism in order to be confirmed in the Episcopal church the family attends. During one of his practice sessions, Clarence Sr. admits that he's never been baptized. This news horrifies Vinnie and she asks him to get baptized or they won't be reunited in Heaven. Clarence Sr. scoffs at this notion, stating that God wouldn't be able to keep him out of Heaven! This dilemma even leads Vinnie to wonder if their marriage is legal!
Since this film, though autobiographical in nature, is mainly a comedy, you can rest assured, there are happy endings for all of the characters.
"This film is a delight!"
Life With Father is available to purchase or even watch on instant rent at Amazon. It's also available through TCM's Shop and through Netflix. Also, the entire film is available to see on Youtube! For a funny, endearing movie the whole family can watch, and with one of William Powell's best performances, seek out Life With Father!
My Classic Movie Pick: Mickey Rooney Films I Greatly Enjoyed
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Movies. Tagged: Angela Lansbury, Cecelia Parker, Elizabeth Taylor, Life is too Short, Lionel Barrymore, MGM, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Spring Byington. Leave a comment
Mickey Rooney, who had a 9 decades long career in the Entertainment Industry, passed away April 6th. In honor of him, Turner Classic Movies is going to present on Sunday, April 13th, 13 films that Rooney starred in. Among this list are 3 of Rooney's films that I have already seen and instead of one post about one movie, I thought I'd write short synopses about 3 of those films that I really enjoyed.
A Family Affair, 1937 from MGM studios. Stars Lionel Barrymore(Great-Uncle of Drew Barrymore) as Judge Hardy, running for re-election to keep his judgeship and encountering opposition from some of the citizens of the small-town where he resides. Spring Byington plays his wife Emily, Cecilia Parker is his daughter, Marion, and Mickey Rooney is his son, Andy. A Family Affair was shot in 15 days! It was considered a "B" movie by the studio and Lionel Barrymore didn't want to be in it. Another teen actor was set to play the part of Andy, but by the time filming was to begin, he had grown too tall so the part went to Rooney. In his autobiography, Life is too Short, Rooney wrote that he knew the movie was a "B" movie but that fact didn't keep him from putting his all into the role. Surprising to MGM is that when the film opened at theatres, it became a huge hit and so profitable that MGM ended up making 16 Andy Hardy films. The Hardy Family films usually center around Andy and the amusing difficulties he gets himself into and how he finally handles the difficulties with some advice from his wise father.
Judge Hardy talking with his two teenagers.
Boys Town, 1938, also from MGM. Nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and won the Academy Awards for Best Original Story and Best Actor, Spencer Tracy. Tracy plays Father Edward Flanagan who is called to the prison to hear the last confession of a prisoner scheduled to die in the electric chair. The condemned man tells Father Flanagan that if only he had had good friends at the age of 12 instead of the delinquents he ran with, he'd probably not ended up in prison. Father Flanagan takes the man's words to heart, and with the attitude that their is no such thing as a bad boy, he opens up a home for boys in trouble outside of Omaha, Nebraska and calls the place Boys Town. Mickey Rooney plays Whitey Marsh, a tough young hoodlum who's older brother, serving time in prison, asks for Father Flanagan to take in his younger brother and try to turn his life around. Tracy is great as the priest who is kind but very firm when he has to be. Rooney is great as the snotty, brash, juvenile delinquint with a heart of gold. Here's a clip from the film Boys Town. The film proved to be such a great box office success that in 1941 a sequel was made, Men of Boys Town and Tracy and Rooney reprised their roles.
Father Flanagan having a meeting with Whitey.
National Velvet, 1945, from MGM. Stars 12 year old Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet Brown, an English girl who loves horses. She enters the town lottery as the prize is a neighboring farmer's unruly and spirited horse. The winner of the first number called doesn't appear so another number is called and Velvet wins. With the help of Mi Taylor( Mickey Rooney), a young drifter who has a lot of knowledge about horses and racing them, Velvet decides to train the Pi(her name for her horse) for the Grand National Race. This is a charming movie, espousing hard work, reaching for one's dreams, and filmed in gorgeous technicolor. Look for Angela Lansbury playing Velvet's older sister, Edwina. Here's a training sequence from National Velvet, featuring Taylor and Rooney.
Rooney and Taylor
Here is also the schedule that TCM has posted for Rooney's films on Sunday. TCM has also made a lovely tribute video of Rooney's career and it can be viewed here. Be sure to tune in and/or set your dvr machine!


Aletheian formed back in 1997 under the name Crutch. After a major line-up change in 2003 they decided to change their name to Aletheian (the Greek for "truth"). In 2007 they signed to IronClad Recordings, a subsidiary of Metal Blade Records, and re-released this album, originally issued in 2005. Aletheian's sound is pushing more on the progressive side of metal with jagged riffs and technical time changes on tracks such as "Broken Legacy" mixed in with acoustic interludes and intricate instrumental passages found in "Burnt Offerings" and "Open Grave". There are a couple of key elements that slightly let the album down. When listening to a metal album you want it to really hit you hard in the face; in places the lack of powerful production values mean it is more like a gentle slap. The vocals are also not the strongest around with the low growls of Joel Thorpe sometimes becoming a little lost in the mix. Having said that, the band's instrumental flare shows massive technical ability. If progressive metal is your thing then I would definitely recommend checking out these Pennsylvanian rockers.

"Finding easy and affordable tricks for keeping your home clean"
Sliced Cheese, Now who said that?
These little dusting cloths are amazing!
They allow you to dust a whole room in a matter of minutes..
You purchase the first box of dusting cloths that contain the handle!
But after that you just buy the refill box of cloths.
These little cloths grab the dust and doesn't let go!
The fibers are coated and they magically attract the dust!
I first wipe over all my picture frames on the wall.
Then I wipe over all my lamps and the shades.
You use it on the screens of your electronics.
I run it over all the tops of my books in my bookcases.
Use it between all tight spots!
It does a great job on the in-between spindles of the kitchen or dining room chairs.
You can dust a desk off in a flash!
It works great on your mini blinds!
You can even buy the extender to do the tops of your fan blades.
Also to reach those pesky spider webs that appear in the corners.
You can purchase the Swiffer brand.
And another box at the Dollar General Store!
I believe these dusting cloths are the best find ever!
But can find moving everything to dust exhausting.
Even the kids would get a kick out of cleaning with it!
Put this little home cleaning tool down on your shopping list!
It will be well worth your time and money ladies!
There is no longer any reason to have dust covering everything in your home!
I would say this, What is your time worth?
What is the minimum wage now days!
Look these little dusting magic cloths are cheaper than a maid.
You can now dust a whole room and the house in minutes!
I love using my Swiffer duster. I have he extender too and it's great for me because I'm short and I don't need to stand on the stepstool. I used to use the Swiffer dry sweeping pads but I use old fluffy socks instead. I still use the wet pads though.
I haven't used a dusting cloth in years ~ only a Swiffer! It really does pick up the dust and hold onto it ~ makes my allergies much better !
I have had my Swiffer (even the generic ones from the $ Stores) and I wouldn't be without one. I have the long handled one with the extender and the short handle one too. I also have the Swiffer floor dust mop as well...they are fabulous and I use them over and over!
Wish I had thought of inventing this!
I've never tried one of these. I use a microfiber cloth myself. I totally agree that you need to use whatever works, and that the cost is worth it if it helps you get things done.
I do use Swiffer to clean floors but had not thought of the dusting ones with the shorter handles. Thanks for the tip. Beware of dust bunnies for sure.


According to Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson, it is regrettable that Hungarian left-wing MEPs also voted for the points of the Soros Plan.
Speaking on Hungarian M1 television's Friday evening current affairs program, Mr. Tuzson reacted to the fact that on Thursday the European Parliament's plenary session approved the negotiation mandate on the Dublin asylum reform package adopted by its Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) in October.
The Minister of State said that EU leaders and Hungarian left-wing MEPs all say that the Soros Plan does not exist, but when its points appear, "they all push the 'yes' button" and support its implementation.
He further said that this is about the introduction of a mandatory relocation system without upper limit, the simplification of the family unification process, the opening of borders and the "punishment" of those who do not wish to participate in all this. Those who are already here or wish to enter the EU would be directed to these countries, Mr. Tuzson added.
Referring to the National Consultation, Mr. Tuzson pointed out that it is possible to prevent the adoption of a regulation based on the reform package, but "a government will not be enough" for this.
However, if the Hungarian people team up, they will be able stop "this idea of Brussels" together.
George Soros should note that all peoples have the right for self determination, i.e. should involve democracy to let the people of that country determine what type of society it wants. It is not up to George Soros to determine this, nor is it up to the undemocratic European Union.
Now that the British are leaving the EU because of its overpowering refusal to allow the peoples freedom to determine their futures.
None of us want to be forced to live alongside people who want to kill each because of religion and in turn preach this openly.

Q: I am getting an error saying List Index out of range even though for me it looks like its within the list index I'm very new to python. I was trying to write a code which has a function called 'pos' which takes in a list and check for positive numbers in the list and returns a new list containing only the positive numbers.
Please find the code below:
def pos(l1):
    p1=[]
    for ele in l1:
        if ele>0:
         p1.append(l1[ele])
    return p1

num = list(range(-5,50,2))
print(num)
val=pos(num)
print(val)

However I am getting an error saying the list index is out of range. Im not sure why im getting this error.
This is the o/p im getting:
[-5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49]

     10 num = list(range(-5,50,2))
     11 print(num)
---> 12 val=pos(num)
     13 print(val)

<ipython-input-49-7ff66d3dec65> in pos(l1)
      3     for ele in l1:
      4         if ele>0:
----> 5          p1.append(l1[ele])
      6     return p1
      7

IndexError: list index out of range

Can somebody please help?
Also,when i remove the step size in the range function i get this o/p. However, its not returning only positive elements. Please find the code and o/p below.
def pos(l1):
    p1=[]
    for ele in l1:
        if ele>0:
         p1.append(l1[ele])
    return p1

# rnum=range(-5,10,2)
# print(list(rnum)
num = list(range(-5,50,2))
print(num)
val=pos(num)
print(val)

[-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Please help
Thank you

A: 'ele' in your case is element of the array. NOT its index. You are getting index error because instead of trying to access element of the array by its index you access element of the array using its element as an index.
Try changing
for ele in range(l1):
with
for ele in range(len(l1)):

A: Since you are iterating over the values of the list (and not using an index), p1.append(l1[ele]) is trying to access the index of whatever the value of ele is. For example if l1 = [-1,0,20,3], on iteration 3 l1[ele] --> l1[20] which is  not what we want
def pos(l1):
    p1=[]
    for ele in l1:
        if ele > 0:
         p1.append(ele)
    return p1

num = list(range(-5,50,2))
print(num)
val=pos(num)
print(val)

A: Problem is that ele is already elements in list:
def pos(l1):
    p1=[]
    for ele in l1:
        if ele>0:
            p1.append(ele)

    return p1

num = list(range(-5,50,2))
print(num)
val=pos(num)
print(val)

Also man your function is an overkill :-( so just use a list comprehension:
def pos(l1):
    return [x for x in l1 if x > 0]

num = list(range(-5,50,2))
print(num)
val=pos(num)
print(val)

Tangen Fort
Type:Sites worth seeing
3970, Langesund
Tangen Fort, located at the far end of Langesundstangen, is a popular hiking area just south of central Langesund.
Cannons and trenches
In the 1930s, Langesundstangen was a popular recreational area. The locals used it for everything from hiking and leisurely strolls to social gatherings and dancing. Benches were also placed throughout the area to make the most of the beautiful views. During World War II, the Germans made tunnels, trenches, bunkers and cannon foundations here. The tunnels and bunkers in the mountains are today closed, however, many of the structures are clearly visible in the landscape. The Germans also set up a drawbridge that still stands at the main entrance today. After the war, Tangen Fort was used by the Norwegian navy up until 1996, two years later it was opened to the public.
A fantastic viewpoint
At the far end of Tangen Fort, benches have, yet again, been set up so you can enjoy the fantastic view of the sea. It's a great area for hiking, however, the nature here is vulnerable, so traffic should be limited to roads and paved paths. Help us keep the area clean by picking up after yourself. Leave no trace other than your footprints. Also, feel free to pick and enjoy the berries. The same rules apply in the nature reserve as elsewhere in the area for fishing, hunting, dogs and traffic. It is important to keep your dog on a leash during the period of leash restraint that runs from April 1. to August 20.
Nature reserve and geology
The area is a nature reserve with geological values in the form of fossils and calcareous bedrock. The unique soil means that many rare species live here, both insects, plants, fungi and lichens. The vegetation at Tangen Fort is characterized by limestone forest with elements of ash-maple-hazel forest, hazel scrub, and patches of lime pine forest. "Kalklindeskog" is a habitat where there are many endangered soil-dwelling mushrooms. A total of 12 red-listed moushroom species are registered here, of which 8 are endangered. Several red-listed lichens and insects have also been found in the area.
- There is parking at Furustranda where you can follow the coastal path to the tip of Tangen Fort. This path offers a great view of Langøya lighthouse.
- It is also possible to park at Steinvika, a protected area located next to Tangen Fort. Due to the unique geology, including many fossils, Steinvika is part of the Gea Norvegica Unesco Global Geopark. From here you can follow the coastal path all the way out to the tip of Tangen Fort.
- If you want to cross the drawbridge, park at Skipperhuset and follow the asphalt and gravel road that also leads all the way out to the tip of Tangen Fort. This route is less hilly than the other paths out to Tangen Fort.
- It is also possible to park at the City Hall, and in the center of Langesund in general, and follow Tangenveien south.
- Alternatively you can park in Krogshavn and walk the coastal path, via Steinvika. A slightly longer, yet incredibly scenic, route.
- It is only permitted to light a fire and use a grill in the designated barbecue area. You can find the location (at the Commander's residence) in the new protection map. There is still a ban on open fires and the use of barbecues elsewhere in the nature reserve.
- It is only permitted to cycle on the main road, from the main gate and to the flat area above the fort (by the WC, approx. 50 m north of the fort), as shown in the new protection map. Cycling is still prohibited in other parts of the reserve, both in the terrain and on paths/roads, including down to the fort itself.

Drone countermeasures
Hacked off
Guarding against rogue drones could be a legal nightmare
Science and technologyMay 26th 2016 edition
A BLACK package suspended in mid-air under a hovering drone is picked up by the CCTV cameras surrounding Wandsworth prison in south London one evening earlier this year. As it moves closer to one of the windows, a prisoner leans out to snare the delivery with a stick and pull it inside. Prison officers later recover the package and find it is stuffed with drugs and mobile phones.
Such events are becoming increasingly common, not just in the use of drones to deliver contraband but in all sorts of other nefarious activities, from paparazzi spying on celebrities to burglars casing properties. More worrying still are reports of drones being flown near aircraft. Security experts fret about ways terrorists could use drones to drop bombs or biological weapons.
What is needed, many reckon, are drone countermeasures. These already exist for military drones—including shooting them down with lasers. But that is a dangerous way to deal with small consumer drones flying in public areas. So, other answers are being sought in a challenge organised by MITRE, an American non-profit organisation that runs R&D centres funded by the federal government. It has drawn up a list of ten contenders to take part in a trial in August of "non-kinetic" systems capable of detecting and intercepting small drones weighing less than 5lbs (2.3kg). These systems must be good value and capable of wide deployment. The challenge is offering $100,000 of prizes and a chance to catch the eye of federal agencies.
The hurdles posed by the challenge are not what you might expect. "The technology aspects are sometimes the easy part," says Duane Blackburn, a policy analyst at MITRE. Various rules and regulations mean that interfering with a drone could be a legal nightmare. For example, detecting a small hovering quadcopter drone at any reasonable distance requires a relatively powerful radar. Yet such transmitters are strictly controlled in America under Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulations, making such equipment difficult and expensive to acquire.
The contenders think they can get around that by detecting the radio communications between a drone and its operator. Although drones can fly independently, some form of radio is used by an operator to relay commands, such as to go up or down, left or right, and to provide a video link from the drone's camera.
Mesmer, a system developed by Department 13, a technology company based near Baltimore, can detect these signals and even use them to identify the type of drone. Mesmer then employs its own signals to take command of the drone itself, ordering it to divert, land or return to base.
The Dronebuster from Radio Hill, a company based in New Jersey, uses a "point-and-shoot" device which can be aimed at an intruding drone to jam either its communications or GPS system. Commercial drones are preprogrammed to land or return to base when they lose either of these signals. Lockheed Martin, a big American defence group, has a contender called ICARUS that employs multiple sensors to alert an operator to a drone threat and provide a selection of counter-measures, including taking command. The system also works automatically.
Yet such systems could also open up a legal can of worms. For one thing, intercepting signals used by a drone might be considered an illegal "wiretap", according to FCC regulations. Jamming signals is also against the law. Alex Heshmaty of Legal Words, a British legal-services company, says that interfering with the software of a third-party drone without permission might breach anti-hacking laws.
Even if these rules can be circumvented, the Federal Aviation Administration makes it illegal to interfere with an aircraft in flight—and drones are considered to be aircraft. Similar rules exist in many other countries, including Britain. Andrew Charlton, a drone expert and head of a Swiss aviation consultancy, reckons that workable countermeasures against small drones will emerge, but in order to deploy them widely countries will have to review rules and regulations drawn up in an era of manned flight.

Q: Angular single observable, multiple observers learning angular got to services and component and observables.
I'm trying to implement a dark mode in my demo app. The control is done by a service which sets the dark theme based on the browser default if found.
Its initialized in the app component to later have control switches to be placed in the app.
The dark mode works from a boolean value so either true or false. As I understand using an observable isnt enough as I want multiple subscribers to all bind two ways to the subscription each in a different way toggling these observable in the service. I'm pretty sure that's correct so far.
The part I'm stuck. Say if you want 3 different components a button component I the toolbar, a checkbox in the settings and toggle switch in users main settings for example.
How would you use make the 2 way link between the observable in the services and each component so that when each component emits the toggle event all update ? I'm pretty sure behaviourSubject or subject observables are the correct route to go but the angular docs really only go into single case use ? Unless I cant see it and further explanation in the difference of these observables seems to be limited as to the difference between them. One returning from the init value other now but not their implementation across multiple components
Do you have a global observable that the components all create individual observables on init to update the view.. I'm clueless.. it seems so simple yet when trying to out it in practice mind boggling.

A: Sounds like you want to share an observable between multiple components, and have each component listen to it and modify it by toggling on/off?
You could use a singleton service and subscribe to the subject in your components? This stackblitz is fairly crude, but its an example of separate components updating a single shared source observable. In this case it doesn't have to use a BehaviorSubject either, can just do a regular subject. Behavior subject could be useful to default to light mode if you wanted to.

1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer should be determined.
The attendees agreed that the senior board member should be President and as such Peter Haggerty accepted the position.
Jeff Klosiewicz agreed to accept the position of 1st Vice President.
Lynette Astor accepted the position of 2nd Vice President, Assistant Treasurer, Assistant Secretary.
Bob Gleber accepted the position of Secretary.
Jeff Peaper remains as Treasurer.
A)Pet owners that fail to clean up after their pets, and the implications of this illegal behavior. These include the spreading of disease, the possible injury of children, and potential conflicts between neighbors.
B)There was the question of the proliferation of satellite dishes and the placement of these items. There are specifics addressing this issue that are detailed in the Declarations of Restrictions. A copy of this document is provided to every property occupant at the time of purchase or rental.
C)Another topic discussed was what is referred to as "Curb Cuts". Curb Cuts are connectors between the sidewalk and the street. They are most frequently installed at street corners so that strollers and bicycles can safely transition from sidewalk to street. Here at Ballymeade we appear to need 9 such Curb Cuts. It was pointed out that Del-Dot is responsible for installing our Curb Cuts and that our District Representative is supposed to fund the installation out of his $300,000 neighborhood fund. The undecided variable is the timetable for the funding.
D)Another issue was yard maintenance and clean-up, deed restriction violations, etc.. Pete Klosiewicz has agreed to organize the board for a neighborhood walk around. Any member of our community is welcome to join us as we survey our neighborhood in an effort to help our neighbors to appreciate how their cooperation and compliance with our declaration of restrictions will benefit all members of our community. The intent is to send letters to violators in an effort to clear up these violations.
E)The board also decided to send a letter to Mr. Baldini, the owner of the nine rental properties off Ballymeade Drive, asking him to install additional landscape shrubbery/trees in an effort to bring the back yards of his properties more in line with the appearances of the owner-occupied dwellings in Ballymeade. All nine townhouses have no plantings at all in the back yards.
a. The eventual installation of a renewable barrier – i.e. shrubs and trees to augment and eventually replace the wooden fence along Naamans Road.
c. Obtaining email addresses of Ballymeade residents to facilitate our efforts to keep everyone aware and up-to-date as to the going on here in our community.
Another meeting will be held in three weeks time since many more topics are needed to be addressed by the board.
Board Members - Pete Grims, Jeff Pepper; Peter Haggerty, Peter Klosiewicz.
BC Consulting - Elise Nelson (BC Consulting).
44 Ballymeade households were represented - 16 by proxy, 28 in attendence.
o Peter Haggerty summarized and delivered president's report on the activities of the past year. Peter read from the February 6th Work in Progress document.
o Report of services by BC consulting – Elise Nelson gave a report out and a hand out of BC services, and entertained a brief Q&A.
o Wet Lands – Peet Grims reported that the Corp of Engineers passed the basins in Ballymeade for compliance to Wet land regulations.
o Newsletter and Web site – Peter Haggerty reported on the number of Wed site hits and newsletter being posted on the site.
o Action – 2006 budget unanimously approved with the audience approving a $12 annual dues increase, new annual fee is $199.00.
o Lynnette Aster, Bob Gleber and Peter Klosiewicz were unanimously voted into 2-year terms to the board. Roles to be defined by the board.
Discussion focused on clarification of neighborhood issues, such as dogs barking and clean up; playground maintenance; street light maintenance, plantings; Ballymeade state representative.
For reference – Subject: Association dues. Issue - Delinquencies, second notices and certified letters. Action: Demand letter to 2 delinquent homeowners to be sent form BC legal; BC follows does the following after initial assessment bill is sent to all homeowners after the budget is approved at the annual meetings – after 30 days, delinquent letter sent; second notices sent after 60 days; then a certified letter; and finally, BC will turn over to attorney for demand letter notice and further legal action as needed. Second Action: 2006 assessment letters to be sent on 3/1/06, and an increase of $12.00 to be included for all homeowners, due on 4/1/06 ($199.00 is 2006 assessment fee).
o Budget: Issue – Expenses for Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 were projected by the Treasurer to the end of FY, such as snow removal or other expenses not yet invoiced. Resolution: Budget projected to be balanced of FY 2005, once reimbursements, such as reimbursement from Del Dot for snow removal, is received.
o Association Dues: Issue - Delinquencies, second notices and certified letters. Action: Demand letter to 2 delinquent homeowners to be sent form BC legal; Voted to forgive small balance due to interest if under $10.00 and finalize process for collecting dues which will be: Delinquent letter after 30 days; second notices sent after 60 days; Then a certified letter; and finally turned over to legal for demand letter notice.
Second Action: Assessment letters to be sent on or about 3/1/06, and will be for the amount approved at the Ballymeade annual meeting by the quorum of residents in attendance. The assessment fee will be due to BC Consulting on or about 4/1/06.
Discussion: Should we provide an incentive for early payment or other incentives for dues compliance, such as a percentage off the total due? Board decision was to not do this as it may not be allowed per county code and by-laws of the community.
Jeff Pepper to validate all deposits for 2005 were made and all payments for FY 2005 budget were made, last payment was the Franchise tax, mailed in January. Any additional expenses were documented and accrued, such as tot lot maintenance.
o Final discussion was to close out the tree and survey issue between Ballymeade and homeowner in adjoining community. Waiting for survey to determine final action my BC.

Piedmont School Saves Taxpayers $26 Million with Refinanced Bonds
Piedmont Unified School District Superintendent Randy Booker announced recently that taxpayers will save more than $26.1 million because of refinanced bonds. The district issued $27 million in bonds for sale. The refinanced bonds will pay off existing debt with funds borrowed at a lower interest rate. The 2006 Series E General Obligation Bonds were sold through a competitive bidding process with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC submitting the lowest bid at an interest cost of 3.17 percent.
Pittsburg Students Enjoying New Buildings Thanks to Bond Revenue
The millions in bond revenue that Pittsburg Unified School District voters approved several years ago have resulted in tangible improvements to two campuses. The $85M bond measure has funded dozens more classrooms and a multipurpose room. The high school's $29.2 million construction project created enough space — 57,488 square feet — to accommodate about 900 students taking everything from world history, English and Spanish to math and physics. The high school's additional buildings house 29 classrooms. Willow Cove Elementary School's multipurpose room and kitchen were also built with proceeds from the sale of these bonds.
Hayward Unified Officials Weigh State Takeover and School Closures Amid Budget Discussions
The option to close Bowman Elementary and consolidate the Bidwell and Treeview Elementary campuses is still on the table as Hayward Unified administrators seek to eliminate a $7.8 million deficit in next school year's budget. Although no formal recommendations or final decisions have been made on any budget cuts, including possible school closures and consolidations, the proposal to close Bowman and consolidate the Bidwell and Treeview campuses is outlined in revised budget documents submitted to the Alameda County Office of Education on Dec. 15.

Q: Openshift node.js successful deployment, but "Application is not available" I'm having a problem getting a node.js app to run on Openshift.
I've set up my openshift project to pull from a git repo.
My server.listen call is being made like this:
var port = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || process.env.PORT || 8080;
var ip = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || process.env.IP || '127.0.0.1';

var server = http.createServer(myServerFunction);
server.listen(port, ip);

The pull and build work fine. I can see in the pod terminal that my app is running because there is some console.log output indicating this. I can also see that neither process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP nor process.env.IP exist, and so the port has defaulted to 8080.
If I go into the pod's terminal and execute curl http://localhost:8080 I see precisely the html output I would expect from my app.
However, when I click on the overview tab and find the external url for my app (which is of the format http://<application>-<domain>.1d35.starter-us-east-1.openshiftapps.com), clicking that link results in openshift's "Application is not available" error page.
It seems to me that my node app is running perfectly well, but is not connected to the external url. I suspect that 8080 is not the correct port, and that I am required to do more configuration in order for my nodejs app to receive a value at process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT.
In other stackoverflow answers I've also seen 0.0.0.0 as the default when process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP is not set. Could this make a difference?
Overall, how can I make the external url link to my nodejs server?
Thanks for any help!

A: go to
Applications > Services,
click on your service,
click Actions > Edit YAML,
In ports sections,
change port and targetPort to the port that your nodejs application is running on,
in my case it was on port 8000,
so i gave like this
port: 8000
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8000

Also, check that app is running on "0.0.0.0", not "127.0.0.1"

Friday hawt chicks & links – The sharp edition.
A bit late on the old hawt chicks thread but you've got it now so stop your damn complaining. This has been an excellent week as my head space has returned to a clear and calm level. Last night I went to my barber for a cut and he inquired as to how things were going.
"Not so great," I told him. "The wife done gone up and left."
His jaw hit the floor and after several attempts to clarify if I was serious or not he then proceeded to give me the best cut of my life. "You have to be looking sharp," he said, and sharp is what I now have. It's nice to be sharp, I can feel the sharpness running off me.
I told him that he has now set a sharpness precedent and that will be my expectation from now on. He assured me of his total devotion to the noble cause of sharpness.
Midterm elections in the US and I will repeat my earlier prediction that there will be no blue wave of any sort, no matter their contrived efforts to manufacture an invasion of their own borders with hordes of scum and villainy. As each day passes their desperation increases. Now we have the useful images of children to scare the proles and rubes into voting in the correct manner.

Those pinks shoes are an incredible choice for walking 500 miles …
What was not reported was that the toddler was throwing a tantrum in a McDonalds car park after her parents refused to buy her a serve of extra large fries.
Trump is responding to this by profusely apologizing and begging forgiveness for having dared to question the Globo-Homo grand plan to resettle the West with varying layers of brown.

The only blue wave will be that found in a pensioners hairdressing salon.
Will Trump succeed in stopping them? I can't see why not. After all, Ike did it.
Operation Wetback (1954) – Implementation and tactics
Operation Wetback was a system of tactical control and cooperation within the U.S. Border Patrol and alongside the Mexican government.[26] Planning between the INS, led by Gen. Joseph Swing as appointed by President Eisenhower, and the Mexican government began in early 1954 while the program was formally announced in May 1954.[27] On May 17, command teams of 12 Border Patrol agents, buses, planes, and temporary processing stations began locating, processing, and deporting Mexicans who had illegally entered the United States. A total of 750 immigration and border patrol officers and investigators; 300 jeeps, cars and buses; and seven airplanes were allocated for the operation.[28] Teams were focused on quick processing, as planes were able to coordinate with ground efforts and quickly deport people into Mexico.[29] Those deported were handed off to Mexican officials, who in turn moved them into central Mexico where there were many labor opportunities.[30] While the operation included the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, its main targets were border areas in Texas and California.
What happens when a company aligns its hiring procedures to employ people based on the self-canceling principles of equality and diversity? Why, your company gets overrun with lunatic socialist progs of course.
Today, a group of Google's hate-filled feminist employees staged a walkout to "demand an end to the sexual harassment, discrimination, and the systemic racism that fuel this destructive culture." And here's the thing: The more Google tries to appease these totalitarian monsters, the more accusations of harassment and discrimination the monsters will make. Any male employee at Google who so much as smiles at a female co-worker is apt to be labeled a predator, and as for the male managers and executives at Google, well, they might as well turn in their two-week notices and cash out their stock options now, because it's only a matter of time before they're named as defendants in a class-action lawsuit.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Reap what you have sown, scumbags.
Italy inadvertently releases based fertility campaign.
Italy has a catastrophically low fertility rate. Projections say Italy's population will be halved in a few generations at current TFR. In an effort to encourage Italian women to push out more bambinos, the government introduced what can only be fairly described as an anti-mudsharking campaign to shame White Italian women to get serious about snagging and settling down with White Italian men, while the women still have relatively unrifled vaginas.
For those who require a translation, the happy and smiley part of the picture says, "The good and healthy habits to promote" while the nasty horrible part says, "The bad companions to get rid of". Talk about shifting the overton window.
Has the global economy recovered? Not according to this guy.
This is an environment of extreme fakery. I believe they are going to keep this going until they can't do it anymore. If you are looking for the real issue, you don't want to look at the stock market. You want to look at the bond market first.
There is no global recovery. We reflated a debt bubble around the world. You can't borrow your way into prosperity anywhere. Everything is being propped up on the back of the debt bubble, which is a financial Frankenstein.
We are going to have a correction to fair value.
If you took every single bubble that we've had in the past and put them all on top of each other, we are still not reaching the magnitude of this one. This is going to be it, and we are going to watch a systematic destruction of the middle class. We are going back to a two-tier society.
A correction to fair value should terrify most homeowners in Australia whose entire social discourse relies on boasting how much their homes have increased in value, which seemingly they put down to their own individual brilliance. Reading The Australian this week I was amused to see articles now claiming that the popping of the housing bubble will only result in a loss of around 20% in value. The same newspaper 6 months ago was running articles making fun of the very idea that house prices could ever fall, let alone the concern that there might be a bubble. Bubble smubble!
If they're now saying 20% before it has happened then the real correction to fair value is going to be fucking brutal.
The guy in the quoted piece has some advice for you all to avoid the financial horror.
To protect yourself, Mannarino says, "You have to be your own central bank . . . You need to do the opposite of debt." That means own real assets such as gold, silver, farmland, art, a house and even a car title. Simply own your stuff and get out of paper.
Coffee, booze, and cigarettes. But particularly coffee. Millennials can't get by without the stuff.
Gab went down this week due to its hosting provider pulling its services and GoDaddy maliciously attempting to steal its domain name. (I am on the fence about Gab as a website; this is about its ability to operate not how it operated.) Anyway, Roissy has been on fire this week and as ever he has a great analysis of this event.
Big Tech has gotten away with financially and politically exploiting a gray area between platform and publisher, straddling each and switching roles whenever it suits their needs. Are they a platform and therefore not responsible for user content, or are they a publisher and vulnerable to liabilities ranging from libel to violations of campaign finance laws?
From the looks of it, the FAAGs (Facecock, Apple, Amazog, Goolag et al) have been acting as publishers. Paypig demonetizes anyone now who is outed by the shitlib NPC swarm as a heretic to Globohomo orthodoxy. Goolag rigs search results to amplify leftoid sites and drown out nationalist sites. Twatter has a veritable coven of witch hunters who spend all day every day deactivating the accounts of anyone who has said a mean word about an icon of the Left or questioned a tenet of shitlib faith.
As a commenter on his post put it,
So social media are not platforms, they are publishers. Just what Zuckerf*g has fought against, because he knows it opens up a very expensive can of worms. As soon as you start editing and choosing, you can no longer claim to have no affiliation with content providers.
How interesting …
By the way, that Ben & Jerry's resist flavor is legit. They really made it.
