HBO Max reached the 4th episode of “Julia” and they are still focusing on Julia Child placating the men around her.

There’s her prissy husband who is having difficulty accepting he is not a world famous artist.

Then her producer who still seemed annoy his one hit show is about cooking.

And the host of another show who bristles that his show isn’t as popular as Child’s.

Is this all they have to say about Julia Child? That she cow towed to men?!!

I guess I shouldn’t have asked. Before writing this post I decided to do some research about Child. I found an interesting article from Boston Magazine. (Link below)

It’s disappointing to learn someone you thought you respect wasn’t born perfect. While Julia Child broken new ground and gained respect for women as chefs and women on television… it sound like Child herself was far from a feminist. Even after gaining fame she felt men should still get preferential treatment over women.

And her (early) views on homosexually would not gain her many gay fans.

Once after attended a party in Boston, Child wrote, “(it was) peopled by 3 fags in an expensive house. We felt hopelessly square and left when decently possible”.

It wasn’t until the AIDS crisis that she softened her views, learning about all the gay men dying alone.

Well… I can be glad that eventually saw the error of her ways… but I’m not so sure I want to continue to watch the series.

To understand the lay-offs at DC Comics and Warner Brothers, you have to understand who is calling the shots. Warner was recently bought by AT&T. And like any villain in a story, AT&T is a disguise.

I used to work for Pac Bell, the California Phone company. In the 1990s it was bought by SBC, a Texas Company that went on a buying spree of phone companies. It paid for it by cost cutting - laying people off.

They were also “we know best” and squashed any new ideas. Imagine, telecommuting was a concept photo companies sold to business because it would require buying data lines. But SBC didn’t trust its own employees to telecommute. You needed to get a vice-president’s approval to work at home.

By aughts, the Long Distance Company AT&T was in dire financially straits. So SBC bought it. No one knew what SBC was so it bought AT&T because it had the best name recognition. So AT&T is really a backward thinking Texas Company. That’s who is making decisions regarding Warner and DC Comics.

In 2014, AT&T paid $67 billion to acquire Direct TV in an effort to get into the television business. That didn’t go so well (they are now trying to sell pieces off). This is what motivated their next purchase.

AT&T paid $85 billion for Time/Warner. As I’ve explained above, they immediately follow purchases with lay-offs. Comic books don’t make enough profit to impact AT&T’s bottom line so naturally DC Comics’ staff was a target. But in their backward thinking they don’t realize how comic books build fan bases, and fans go to the movies that create billion dollar movie franchises.

Marines

There was a horrible loss to this country with the terrible crime with the marines. Justice will be found, but someone was posting about it on Facebook and thus came out. It is wrong and scary: "I agree that there is no place in the military for people of the islamic faith or homosexuals which both worship demons. I also believe all mosques should be banned in america as they are centers for future attacks on america but this is wishful thinking as the country is being controlled by men and women who are demonized. The muslim officer who killed all the soldiers at Ft Hood a few years back should have been executed and it will surely happen again. Islam and the Koran calls for the submission of every christian and jew to allah or to have theri heads cut off. it is a religion that worships the demon allah and christianity and islam cannot peacefully coexist." I'm shocked that some really think like this...

LET THEM EAT CAKE!

I've just read an article regarding Cake shops refusing do bake wedding cakes for gay marriages .... Why do they need to know what its for? Have you been paid? oh you have? - Then STFU, Bake the cake as requested and mind your own business. However, it comes to something in this world when you need to consider bringing “Don’t ask don’t tell” back in order for people to get a slice of cake or two. Ridiculous

ANTI-FEMINIST truth

I hate feminist. This is just stupid when everyone is supposed to be treated equal. In American and other parts of the World its semi true . But when a woman says that they are not treated equally important to the other sex. I can understand when it comes to sex addicts, pimps, and sexually active pornstars, but don't label all men as these tytpes of men. It's 2014 and we still have shit like feminist
