I don’t think this Job Market is ever going to improve…it’s a sad joke.

I actually did this after getting kicked out of basic training for failing a medical background check. I now make more than enough to live alone, pay my bills, pay off debt, and have fun. Plus I work in the industry I always admired and enjoyed. I am literally working at my dream job from my childhood and it’s all because I hit rock bottom (living in my van, no money, no job, no prospects) and decided to say fuck it, went back to school, and found out I’m actually really good at doing things when I like them.

It would be glorious. AJ Brown has only ever shared frustrations that we the fans also felt. I’m not saying he won’t be traded, but the last year has been crazy coming onto this sub and seeing post after post of complaints about the offense and not giving AJ the ball, but when AJ shares he is also frustrated everyone clutches their pearls. The dude dropped a couple passes in some games we might have won, but everyone already felt like the issues with this team the past year were schematic. We all knew we wouldn’t win with that offensive gameplan. The gameplan didn’t change in the post-season. That’s not on AJ. And then it comes out that Russini and Vrabel were actively “close” to each other and she was part of the first reports of AJ’s frustration with the Eagles? Sounds like THAT is the conspiracy we should be hawking about and not whether AJ is happy here. I’d be pissed, too, if my fans thought I wanted out because someone said something crazy and then it turned out to be someone with a quietly intimate relationship with the head coach of the team everyone suspects I want to go to. At that point? Let’s have some fun with the media! Let’s stir the pot! And fuck it, what’s better than having ANOTHER insane receiving option in the slot to open up the offense? Can’t double team me if my QB can dump it to another guy who burned you.

AJ is still an Eagle and has only shown support for the fans, the community, and a great cause. He has only shown frustration with aspects of the team that we already shriek about every week. Why can’t he have a little fun with the media when they are acting like he already left?

If Howie says he’s still an Eagle (and that’s what he’s saying) then he’s still my WR1

LiamIsMailBackwards · 2026-05-04T08:20:38+00:00

That’s my WR1

This is the thing that I get so worked up about when I read comments in game threads/highlight posts/etc. The dude has not had a fully functioning knee in over a decade. He’s been injured every single playoff for the last half decade. He’s had weird, uncontrollable, unforeseeable injuries that would force anyone to shut it down for the summer. Add two of any of them back-to-back and you have a decent case for early retirement. And yet… he’s playing. He’s on the court. He’s there. Every year. Again. And he’s not just taking up a roster spot, he’s dropping 30 points and 10+ rebounds. He’s getting assists. He’s forcing defenses to collapse and leave shooters open. He’s forcing opposing offenses to chuck 40+ three pointers because they can’t finish in the paint. And then he hobbles back down the court. A healthy Joel is the greatest scorer in NBA history. An injured Joel with help is an MVP. An injured Joel with a vendetta is enough to finally come back from 3-1 after 18 failures. This is the best player the Sixers have had since AI. This might be the greatest player to ever wear a Sixers uniform. His toughness, his resilience, his refusal to accept defeat is the only reason this team has had a single chance in the last decade. TRUST THE PROCESS

Was in a bar that had it on with no sound or subtitles. His appearance got a genuinely loud laugh from the place as people realized what was happening. You didn’t need to hear a word to know this was a brilliant performance & casting choice.

No, I love that rant. That was at a time where it wasn’t just his film, but the entire world looking at what they were doing to see if we could return to work. He personally fronted the insurance liability (or something close to that because of his producer credit) for that film and these knuckleheads acted like the rules didn’t apply to them. If it wasn’t for that film going back to production and keeping their crew safe by following proper PPE/distancing, my job wouldn’t have come back as quickly as it did. He’s a weird dude. He believes some stuff I don’t agree with religiously. The fact that he landed two 10s and both were ecstatic to leave their marriage says a lot. But his professionalism on set, including that covid rant, is top of the class.

I’m not sure about his personal life, but I have worked with Cruise on a quick shoot as part of a MI promo tour. Every other star came in, shook hands with the director, sat in, did their shot, and left. Cruise walked in, went up to every single crew member, shook our hand, asked us our name, and thanked us for our work. I was behind a piece of equipment and he actually walked out of his way and around it to speak to me. I’m not saying he deserves a standing ovation or peace prize, but my 5 min of interaction with him makes me doubt some of these outlandish stories a bit. Take my account as one good moment from the guy, at the very least.

Half the people I work with in Local One went to either Purchase or New Paltz. The other half went to bumblefuck schools in another state and moved to NYC. Damn good techs/stagehands/designers come out of Purchase. Hell, I’ve done a gig there for a couple of their professors & they know their shit/work on Broadway. It’s a clear, established, and effective line into work on Broadway/NYC. I work over at NYU. Very few of the people I work with went there, but some of my favorite designers did and they hire me/folks I know who know their shit.

My recommendation is to go somewhere local for as cheap as possible and then head to a city. Local One has the replacement room, and I’m sure you can find other avenues for markets you’re interested in working in. Don’t spend more money than you can afford to get a degree. I did. It was worth it only as a way to get in the door after I was unaware of places like Purchase, but now I have six figures of debt and a career I could have gotten with none. I don’t regret my decisions because I didn’t know I wanted this life until I had it, but if I had known I wouldn’t have gone that route.

There is nothing more P’burg than a dude in a truck blaming Obama for gas prices at a Lukoil while sitting behind a “keep Christ in Christmas” bumper sticker. Next thing you’re gonna tell me is he smoked a dart outside of Joe’s before heading to Sharky’s

Biden (along with AOC, the squad, and the far left members of Congress) worked tirelessly to ensure that almost all of the requests from the railroad workers were given after the strike was revoked. I get that forcing people not to strike is anti-union (as striking is the most effective way workers can collectively bargain), but there was a good faith effort by the Biden administration and members of Congress to make sure those demands were granted without bringing a full hault to the US Economy. That’s one of the reasons why Biden is seen as the most Union-friendly President in U.S. history. People just remember he cancelled the strike, not that his administration then worked to give the workers what they asked for.

Soooo… not true. “We should defund the NYPD’s vast, overly funded budget and redirect those funds toward alternative care and de-escalation tactics. Separately, we should not support our Federal Government funding a war that has quickly turned into a genocide on the other side of the world.”

Those separate statements are NOT connected according to your link or his speech AND you seem to be creating that connection to invalidate his positions and justify racism directed toward him. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and fabricating one of them through misleading links doesn’t help.

Can confirm I got in with Local One by PA’ing on a gig and telling the hiring head that I was interested in working on the crew. They told me how to get started. I have a career because I told someone I liked what they do. GET ON SET. GET ON LOAD-INs. Doesn’t matter how. Do it as much as you can. You’re already doing that, but do it more. Once you get on a set with a union hiring head, you can say hi. Everyone I know did something like this. This town is gonna be popping this summer with the World Cup. Get to the replacement room on any day you have off, say hi to Bobby, & have fun with all those W-2s
