Good Luck, Tony!

Sometime today Tony Collett will be having his unemployment hearing. Please join me in wishing him the best in a swift and happy resolution to some major unpleasantness that's been hanging over his head for a while.

I'd have posted a comment over there, but I cannot recall what password I used over there and there's no "Forgot your password?" link in the blogharbor comments system -- at least that I could see.

I wish Tony the best of luck, too. I've had my own tussles with Unemploymenet and even occasionally emerged triumphant; it's hard to do, as they always outrageously favor the employer over the employee... but still, it can be done, and I hope Tony does it.

LOL! Mike I did the same thing. I started to comment and forgot what password I set up last time. I sent Tony a short email wishing him well, but wanted to stick something here, too. I'm sure it would help alleviate some stress and maybe help him get enough gas money to drive to Louisville...;)

Okay, Mike, the word verification feature on your comments has asked me to type in "oogne". I'm sorry, but that's cracking me up. Oogne. Sheesh.

Thanks for the good wishes. Like I told Tammy earlier, I wish I saw them before I had the hearing. I've posted an entry with all the gory details.
Sorry for the trouble you guys had with passwords and leaving a comment on my site. I didn't want to implement that option, but the hundreds of porn links that got posted and the hosting company saying "we're doing what we can, but you should set up the password option" that led me to it (that, and spending hours deleting the spam comments w/porn links. You name it, there's porn for it on the web)
And my word verification word? "raorr" Sounds like something Catwoman says in bed.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
