forever emotional about the fact that Jack Phillips turned 25 only four days before the Titanic sank. he had so much life left to live.

on April 11th, 1913, he would've turned 26.

on April 11th, 1953, he would've been 66 (the age Harold Bride was when he died in 1956).

today marks his 137th birthday.

just. forever emotional

Titanic/ Ocean Liners enthusiasts, I'm trying to find a video that had all the wireless messages from that sunday, all the way to the morning of the 15th, but now i can only find ones during the sinking.

Does anyone have the video I'm looking for?

CJ court watch - the transgender cake case

Colorado Supreme Court decided Masterpiece Cakeshop v.  Scardina,  2024 CO 67 (Oct. 8, 2024).   Decision was 5-4

Scardina was a lawyer who was outraged by Jack Phillips's win in litigation about baking a cake for a gay wedding. Scardina set him up. Scardina called the cakeshop.

Scardina requested a pink birthday cake with blue frosting and was told that Masterpiece would make such a cake. Scardina then explained that the cake was intended to celebrate her transition from male to female. At that point, she was informed that the shop was unlikely to make the cake “because of the message.”

Scardina filed a complaint with the state civil rights commission. The commission had already been publicly embarrassed, and when Phillips sued in federal court, the commission settled with him.

Scardina then sued in state court with observing some technical aspects of civil procedure.

Scardina could have appealed the Commission’s decision to close the administrative adjudication without providing the statutorily mandated order but she did not. Instead, she brought her discrimination claim anew in the district court. The district court took up the case and, following a bench trial, determined that Phillips had [discriminated illegally.]   Phillips appealed, and the court of appeals affirmed the judgment. We granted certiorari to determine, among other issues, whether Scardina properly filed her case in the district court. We conclude that she did not.

Accordingly, the Colorado SCt reversed the judgment against Phillips and Masterpiece.

Taunting Fi

[tzigone]

Rooftop follow up (original "Twin" ending)

I was thinking more about original ending, but the same question applies to  lesser degree with episode as aired:  What does Molly know about what happened on the roof?  What about the rest of Fi's gang?

Fi, of course, knows more than Rachel or Jack. She's the only one that saw the Trinity or talked to Rick.  But Rachel and Jack know about the locked door (trap nature, especially Rachel, as she knew about the messages) and about Fi hanging on the ledge and being lifted up by something.

So, what do they tell others?  Previously, Fi would have been likely to tell everyone at least part of it (she's been known to omit instances of physical danger, but talking to her father is too big not to mention).  But her mom has decided to end the tour, and, of course, now she knows that Mom knows more about supernatural stuff and pretends not to. So would she be inclined simply to not tell Molly, in order to increase the likelihood of going back on the road again.  And, per original ending, to fulfill her destiny to stop those evil forces?  I guess the issue is if (for a time), she would become more closed off and keep more (supernatural-oriented) secrets from her mom to pursue that cause.  A distance growing before closing later in season 3?  But if she's not telling mom, she might not want to put it on her website, which Molly could easily read.  Though she could still tell Clu, Ryan, Candy, etc. in their group chats, I guess.  Does she tell Jack and Rachel about rick,even?

Jack has  history of keeping things from Molly if he thinks they'll distress her, so it would be on-brand for him not to tell her about Fi almost dying.  It's also a pattern of his to deny, deny, deny, so he might just say the wind blew door, she fell, she managed to climb up, no matter how little sense it made.  On the other hand, he also belittles her beliefs - I don't think he'd go so far in lashing out to say she got dad's spirit "killed" by chasing her goals - even besides the cruelty being too far for him, it would only support the idea her version of events is real,which he doesn't like to do.  I'm not sure what it would take to bring Jack around to supporting Fi's goals with regards to the supernatural, instead of just rescuing her she gets in trouble acting on them.  Do you think this is it or it times out better later on?

Rachel's the adult in the mix. The one I can't predict a reaction for.  We just don't know her as much.  But adults are generally less likely to keep these sort of secrets from parents.  And we haven't seen her support Fi's interest in the past like Melinda did. And when did do so here, Fi almost died.  I think the thing most likely to prevent her from taking action to make sure Fi never gets in this kind of danger again is if she believes Rick says this is what Fi was meant to do and that she'll somehow be okay.  Or, I guess, if she goes into denial and says stress got to her, it was an accident, etc.

A postcard written by Jack Phillips to his sister Elsie, postmarked April 6, 1912. The front is an image of Titanic docked at Southampton. It reads:

"Thanks very much for your letter. Having glorious weather, went to Cowes yesterday. Will write later before we sail. Love all, Jack"
