zhamlau Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Does all of the art collecting community return to here? Or go to CAF? There is a need for a photo rich message board style communication I think. Where do all those collectors go? aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 just like every comic book is someone first comic book...Lee will now get PMs asking about these awesomely priced pieces of art! I remember the first time I saw Lee repost some ads, all those years ago. My heart was racing and I was getting lightheaded! (prices were closer to the originals in those days so the mistake was easier to make) vodou and Lee B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(prices were closer to the originals in those days so the mistake was easier to make) I made that mistake 20 years ago. In the course of writing about various things in CFA-APA, Richard Martines re-printed an ancient Sandy Blatt CBG Wrightson advertisement (ca. 1980). It wasn't so much the prices that got me, it was the vast selection! Lee B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_K Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Isn't the Facebook "outage" supposed to be a distraction on the whistleblower news story ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the people pushing that narrative, and how hateful and fascist are they themselves? And why are arguably more important whistleblowers in the news today being totally ignored by mainstream media, while this person is being pushed? And who really is this facebook whistleblower, and what is her past activism history? Last I'll bother to say on the matter here, as we arent allowed to talk politics on the site. The person labeled as a whistleblower furnished reams of data to the Wall Street Journal from her two years time there while working on issues which I will loosely call “personal negative corrective procedural development”—namely, fixing stuff. What I found particularly interesting was that while Facebook spends money on hiring people, it apparently does not implement procedures which would reduce its status as a forum that is attractive to advertisers. Basically, even bigots buy cars. Zuckerberg has now responded stating that controversies on this subject drive away advertisers. Maybe some advertisers, but like I said, even bigots buy cars. “Hate speech” is whatever you want it to be, but it is generally the antithesis of conventional opinion, and usually is just perjorative.

Remember that foreign agents used Facebook to disseminate false information to interfere with our democratic process, and quite successfully I might add, in their favor. The whistleblower’s report also shows the negative impact IG has on adolescent girls. It’s not just about hate speech. zhamlau, Turnando, Lee B. and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
