The ship was originally named Salute which is also the name of a ship that sunk in the Pacific during WW 2. Any seadog worth his salt will tell you it's considered bad mojo to name a ship after one that sunk -- it can really mess up Posedian's invoicing system.

If a rechristening wasn't performed, or performed improperly, one can understand why Posedian took swift action. Basically an accounting error. No two ways about it.

Tis a darn shame.

Which underscores the level of their motivation and the lengths they will go to rid the sea of humans and their garbage.

Real journalism is appreciated more than ever. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishtimes.com%2Fbus...

Are you familiar with Angola prison in Louisiana? It's a cotton plantation where inmates are forced to work without pay for the first two years of their sentence. Afterwards, they get 2 an hour for the remainder of what will basically be a life sentence.

Or maybe look up 'Angola'.

Instead of Enter, use the html for two br's in order to create spaces between paragraphs.

As for the trans hysteria, it's just a politically correct way to gay bash and slag women with the purpose of rolling back gay and women's rights. And it's working.

I think it depends on what you are reading. I shudder at the thought of relying on social media for information. Remember, Reagan and Clinton didn't deregulate the planet's media, merely America's which was mostly bought up by an Australian. Do you think Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk or even Murdoch have much sway over people.cn or the press in advanced and educated democracies like Ireland, Sweden, or Belgium? Definitely nothing like they do over new media or what passes for journalism in America.

I read "legacy media" and was well aware of the tariffs and recession Trump and Musk had planned. They were quite clear in warning there would be pain.

For that matter, I remember reading interviews with Trump over a decade ago when he was just another racist vanity candidate millionaire with a bus driving across Iowa deadset on not just beating Obama, but establishing an American monarchy.

It was all out there. Just not much of it was covered by the American press. How can you expect it to be? There is some great American journalism, but it's important to seek out and understand opposing views if you want to make any sense of it all. Reading is more than understanding the words, it requires an understanding of context and point of view and the ability to triangulate from this input; something really not possible in the robotic echo chambers in the walled gardens of American social media or Gannett and Murdoch, Inc. .

Actually, they are in India. Regardless, it's not exactly prudent to offshore liability to strangers whom you don't verify, monitor, or know. Childish to think you can crowdsource vigilante justice when dealing with an organized, possibly government backed, crime syndicate.

Is twenty million really adequate compensation for spending the rest of your life looking over your shoulder? Like they say, you can't cheat an honest man. Could you trust a company this shady, erm, naive to actually pay the bounty? .

I'm guessing they are using the same speech to text they use to generate subtitles for YouTube and those are hilarious. Unless you are a student relying on them because they somehow meet the ADA requirements.Combined with the error riddled quality of their text based translation; I just can't see this being useful.

To qualify as an American film requires a certain number of American cars per frame and the "good guys" always use Apple computers. Bonus points for additional American product placement.

Trans Atlantic flights sure are a bargain these days!

But if we did – think of this, if we didn’t do testing – instead of testing over 40 million people, if we did half the testing we’d have half the cases. If we did another – you cut that in half, we’d have yet again half of that.

Now, the testing is a good thing but at the same time it’s fodder for the fake news to report cases.

They talk about cases, and the cases are created because of the fact that we do tremendous testing.

Hopefully this will shake the Canadian film industry into returning to doing Canadian content. The generic intentionally set in locations vaguely anywhere that they've been pumping out as a marketing strategy since about the time Sheilag Rogers took over everything on CBC had TVO has been so disappointing.

Truely absurd. Everything has to be a war. No doubt it was part of the plan. Afterall, Trump assigned three ambassadors to Hollywood. Given the timing with the German film Exterritorial dominating the ratings with a store not exactly pro American given its plot based on America's betrayal of its allies, I imagine it made it an easier sell. Selling America as the leader of the free world, that's just getting harder all the time.

Weird sentences are old school ways of making concepts stick.
