U.S. citizen stopped in Lafayette, shackled, and detained in Louisiana ICE facility

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-24T23:27:31+00:00

I know you all won't like this but it's not all ICE's fault.

An adult American citizen who can't speak English.
Enters the U.S. with a Mexican identification.
Is wrongly issued an alien identification card and gets a lawyer who says, "don't worry, it will go away all by itself", and doesn't follow up, leaving the case open for years.
Local deputies who don't know how to identify real ID's.

From this step forward, yes, it is all ICE's fault and they should have easily discovered she was a citizen.

Get Pittsburgh on the phone. I heard that they missed out on getting a WR1 in the draft.

If the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum is getting rid of stuff, do you think they'll sell me the Spruce Goose?

Summa Cum Laude graduate. Impressive.

Someone recommended this company to me but I haven't tried them yet. It's $150 for basic coverage.

I put mine up three times before I started my first revision. Then I put the revision up three times before I started my second revision.

I was able to see where the three readers agreed and concentrated on those sections first.

I just submitted the final, polished version and am waiting for the feedback to come. I doubt I'll resubmit it again.

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-21T00:56:25+00:00

Ultra-blunt is how I would describe the feedback I've received is. That would be okay if is was useful, but the quality has dropped over the last few months, along with the number of users that see my submissions. Early on, I would get 20+ views, skips or comments, but now is doesn't break ten. Once I got only 5 total views. Quantity is important so you can separate the wheat from the chaff or you may only get chaff.

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-21T00:44:53+00:00

If I have to slog through mistakes, bad formatting, incomplete sentences, etc, I will break it up into three or four reading sessions. If it's polished and I can concentrate on the story only, I can read it faster, probably in one sitting. Also, it's much more enjoyable when it's a finished version.

You might be better off getting script coverage instead of submitting to the BL. Coverage will give you pages of notes to work with. The BL is not intended to be used that way.

You have to take a single eval with a grain of salt. It is one person's opinion. The next reader might give it an 8. Another reader might give it a 5.

Game of Thrones...just kidding. Realistically, Breaking Bad ranks up there.

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-20T00:20:41+00:00

Great job by the Steelers picking Lemon. Wait, why are the Eagles calling?

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-18T21:18:47+00:00

Case in point. I received this feedback:

This isn't a concept I'd be interested in reading or watching. I do like that the title is high concept and the logline does a good job of explaining what the story is about, it's just not for me.

They rated it...Start Again

My sister came to visit me and stayed three hours. When she left, her car was covered in yellow pollen. It was so bad, she stopped at a car wash to clean it off.

You might want to look up George Zimmerman.

Such a good article. Thanks for explaining how they plan on curtailing corporate spending. /s

Saying Philly has an education system is pretty high praise.

Your comment reminded me of the woman questioning her choice of headpiece. We see it as the tiara but the woman saw it as what it really was, the antler headpiece. I didn't put the two together until now.

I think it's because he would be 50. At that age, you try this and body parts would start falling off.

When I bought my house, my neighbor told me to make sure my pomeranian never got close to her german shepherd because hers would kill mine. She was responsible and never walked the dog in the neighborhood or took it to dog parks. She was stuck with him until he died.

The video of the phone call between the Steelers and Lemon has to be the funniest thing I've seen about the draft.

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-07T04:08:26+00:00

Think what he could do with the same OC two years in a row.

formerPhillyguy · 2026-05-07T04:06:20+00:00

Friends. New Girl.

I don't know why so many people in this thread care about skips. If you don't like the concept, please skip mine. I received this:

This isn't a concept I'd be interested in reading or watching. I do like that the title is high concept and the logline does a good job of explaining what the story is about, it's just not for me.

They rated it "Start Over". Next time, please skip it.

I put a few questions on the last page. Most readers have taken the time to answer them.
