Pay heed to Klaudia Amenábar’s words! Don’t let the executives weaponize fandoms. WGA Strong.

My guys it is starting to work, I’ve seen some people I know complaining about the writer’s strike and turning against them because their favorite shows and/or movie got put on hold. Please do not be fooled like this, this is exactly what the corporations want. It can wait, I promise you will find other things to focus, but writers need this.

Reword every headline they put out. “Due to not wanting to give writers money, Marvel has shut down pre-production on…” You can end this strike any time you want to, pal.

“Marvel too cheap to pay writers, production shuts down”

“Disney too greedy to pay residuals, deletes shows/movies”

“Studios cut corners on safety, production values, writing, acting, etc. in order to make more money; won’t share with anyone below CEO level”

This.

100% this.

    Looking at the #PlayStation #pride collection and some of these games are obvious choices (Life is Strange, Dream Daddy, Mass Effect, etc) and others are real head scratchers (or maybe I’ve forgotten those plotlines in Firewatch and Dishonored and NieR and Amalur)

    Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same.

    Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.

    Game theory:

    Nintendo will wait until Tears of the Kingdom sales start to drop, and will then announce a followup to the Switch alongside a "remastered"/hi-def TotK re-release

    People salty about old Switch hardware will buy the new system for TotK, and die-hard fans will buy TotK a second time for the updated graphics

    The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association.

    We need to tell the Biden Administration to undertake every effort to block these dangerous laws. My team and I urge you to take action with us: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

    Went to Fred Meyer today and I needed a staff person to get something out of a locked case.

    I saw someone, and asked "excuse me, can you help me get...?" and they went on a tear about how they didn't work in that department and they were on break and did I want them to skip their lunch and... I feel like this was a disproportionate response?

    Anyway, once they said the lunch thing I said "I don't want you to do anything!" and they showed me a courtesy phone that was hidden behind a column.

    "But why are you still on Twitter?"

    Listen. I am an internet ancient. I stood amidst LiveJournal as it crumbled while I watched the fall of Flickr. I was there both times Tumblr burned down, toasting marshmallows over its smouldering ruin, laughing at the folly of Verizon. The death of Twitter was foretold by the dark prophecies of the forgotten internets. I am there to witness its passing as the old internet is dying and the new internet struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.
