Keep your signs, make new ones, and start preparing now. Let's make history again on 4/19,

Thanks. I will keep an eye on it for the next few days.
Okay, glad to hear it is working in the end. Thanks for info on what worked, maybe someone else will run into this as well.
I had a look at the Github for clues about this and there seemed to be some people who had to reload timelines to get filters to kick in, so maybe there is something like that going on.
A new RAND study just found that $79 trillion was taken from the bottom 90%.

I am 22 shows in to the comedy festival and I have been very happy with them all, they are not all the same style but they have all been excellent.
In Mish Wittrup's show tonight I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. In general I do not recommend things, but this is an exception.
Their run ends this weekend but there are two extra shows added for next week that you should go to.
