#OETA #MovieClub #Judy
Normally I'm otherwise occupied at this hour on Saturdays, but #Snowmageddon is happening now so I tuned in to the state's PBS station and caught the movie "Judy", about Judy Garland's later years. The host of the show typically gives out tidbits of trivia, and the one tidbit he gave out just now was jaw-dropping, at least to me.

The movie he was showing starred Renee Zelweger and he said there was another movie that was in the works but starring Anne Hathaway, basically a similar biopic but focusing on the abuses Judy suffered under one of her studio's owners. It never got made, but what's noteworthy, given the focus of that movie, was that the producer was Harvey Weinstein.

I'm going to take this time to give kudos to the ASL interpreter who is doing a better job at signing than the lady I saw earlier at an earlier presser for this reason alone:

When ICE was mentioned, she signed "police"; this fellow here did not, and fingerspelled
"I C E". Good job, terp!

So a second victim was shot dead the crowd succeeded to make them go ( ICE ) when the Local Law Enforcement blocked an intersection and tries to make them go (the crowd) but it's still going on

edit: So as far now I feared for a police charge but they eventually went away after another gas canister smoke barrage, a massive barrage and all cops retreaded.

Using your 220 or 440 handie-talkie to make a phone-patch call became controversial because of intra-LATA billing, whereby Ma Bell put the kibosh on ham radio phone patches in those bands pretty much altogether.

Both Commodore and Apple Corp were the same size, each vying to compete with the behemoth IBM, which contracted with Intel to put its best mainframe computer onto a microchip. Commodore decided to specialize in display graphics while Apple decided to proliferate in the nation's school systems, with the side bonus that because it used a Motorola microchip set, Apple became the official desktop computer system for Motorola.
Now you know the rest of the story.
