Aw, saddened to hear of Reggie Bannistet'a passing. He was terrific and unduly talented—a delight in Phantasm.

This is a big one for a lot of Phans. Reggie the Ice Cream Man anchored the series with tongue in cheek machismo and a losing way with the ladies; Reggie Bannister was the perfect actor to bring the character to life. The stories will come, and they will all be about the kindness of the man. #Rip

Follow-up: eventually they had to be evacuated but there are no details about how much farther they got until that happened cos CN is being tight-lipped. Those who were around when I was posting about their contract negotiations wont find this surprising. Anyway read 👆 www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

The scenes outside the window of the train are breathtaking. A wall of flame engulfs the treeline just feet away from tracks.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
