7 flights a day CBS news said are working in deporting Haitians back. Man, the resilience of these people, crossing a continent and along this trek they said the Chileans gave them some bad info, took so much of what money they had. Some stayed most moved on and all the way carrying everything they own. Not speaking any of the languages either. That level of mobilization is historic and of course the government can't get rid of them fast enough, except for the ones that got through on the migrant worker side.
Let nobody forget a good chunk of the political instability they've come under came under the puppetry of the Unites States. Even Obama had a hand in that.
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.
Is staying in Mexico not an option?

Until the work dries up, which it will, still plenty of Mexican citizens looking to cross for that reason.
Thing about the trek up into South America to get into Mexico is that they were pretty heavy handed on some of the migrants. Subsequently since I guess it's cooled some to the point Haitians have come to go back to Mexico for supplies to take back to the Rio camp.
Thing about Mexico is a clash with the Haitian refugee's and cartels- the main reason for so much of the border crossings in the first place seems inevitable.

Ah! Damn, we lost a real one today.
On September 21, Melvin Van Peeples, regarded as the “Godfather of Black Cinema” passed away at his home in Manhattan at the age of 89.
The father of actor and director Mario Van Peeples had a career in the arts that spanned more than 60 years. The playwright, actor, filmmaker, novelist and composer made his first short film, Pickup Men for Herrick, in 1957; his latest work was an acting role in 2018’s Armed. Between those years, Van Peeples, who became known for the 1971 Blaxploitation film, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, which he wrote, co-produced, scored, edited, directed, and starred in, was the talent in and behind the scenes of a number of notable projects across screens and stages.
A statement released by his family, The Criterion Collection and Janus Films announcing Van Peeples’ death read:
“In an unparalleled career distinguished by relentless innovation, boundless curiosity and spiritual empathy, Melvin Van Peebles made an indelible mark on the international cultural landscape through his films, novels, plays and music,” the statement read. “His work continues to be essential and is being celebrated at the New York Film Festival this weekend with a 50th anniversary screening of his landmark film Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song; a Criterion Collection box set, Melvin Van Peebles: Essential Films, next week; and a revival of his play Ain’t Supposed to Die a Natural Death, slated for a return to Broadway next year.”
As we mark the death of this pioneer in film, we take a look back and his life and legacy in photos.

At the time that I write this, Marvel is suing the estates of Steve Ditko and others to make sure they hold on to the copyrights of these characters.
I haven't seen any reports on this yet here.

One writer I really dig is Bryan Edward Hill. That dude is awesome!
A live action version of Cowboy Bebop on netflix, I know it's only the opening credits, but it looks like something a bunch of fans made on youtube....in 2012. Maybe it'll be good, maybe they'll try something different instead of a soulless version of the original. What I'm really worried about is Netflix's live action One Piece series. The world of one piece does not lend itself to live action very well. Stretchy powers in live action look really gross and Luffy can inflate his skeleton.
The live action scenes looked good by themselves, but when they tried to mix anime with live action and the poses it looked cheesy.
If they just make a Sci Fi movie based on the Anime, it can work but if they try to duplicate it, that probably won't work.
The Loki and Picard series show that big budget TV can credibly do Blade Runner-like worlds. Keep Bebop in a BR type world. Something that live action can do.
I will watch it of course, you can't really judge it by the intro. But it does makes me nervous.
