Classic Christmas Movie White Privilege Assessment
Christmas movies are filled with hope and happiness and inspiration – especially if you are a property-owning white male. They also do a pretty good job of reinforcing conservative cultural ideas. Let’s break down the true meaning of Christmas according some of Hollywood’s all-time classics. It’s Wonderful Life (1946) Privilege Synopsis: Despite owning a Victorian mansion and supporting a…
Donald Trump and 18 allies have been indicted in Georgia over efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
We hit the Superfecta! This one is big. DA WIllis is charging this as a criminal conspiracy and prosecuting Trump and his 18 co-conspirators as a *group*.
Here's the TLDR version: The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was created to go after the mafia. The bosses would always escape prosecution because they relied on henchman to do the actual dirty work. So RICO looks at the whole thing as one big crime and thus *anyone* involved has committed a crime even if they didn't metaphorically "pull the trigger".
In this particular case, we're calling the attempt to overturn the election results the main conspiracy. The indictment says this conspiracy involved 161 (!!) individual criminal acts - But it is all part of the same Conspiracy Stew. It's a concerted effort by a large group of people, engaging in a myriad of activities that taken alone might not be a major crime, but when you put them all together, they add up to a serious offense. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Republicans worship at the altar of the almighty dollar
"Production on XYZ has stopped" is not news, ofc they have stopped, there is no point in going on without writers AND actors.
You know what is news? Tell me about the productions that haven't stopped, the actors that keep promoting their work so I know who to put on my (s)hit list!
ok NOW we can all freak out marvel vfx workers voted to unionize thank god

Ooooo Love this sooo much. Fight the power VFX artists.

Hopefully if you're on Tumblr it means you don't use Twitter. If you still use twitter.. Why?
the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me
"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers
"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers
"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS
Fuck Bob Iger, Fuck David Zsaslav, Fuck all these corporate pieces of shit who have wanted to remove the humanity and soul from the art for increased revenue streams who made it so none of us own any of the art we love, we all only rent it.
Shein is going down for being an organized criminal organization. Actors and Writers are striking. Student Loan debt relief may actually go through after all. Jack Smith is closing in on Trump, and all signs point to him dying in prison. Billionares are dying in ignoble and humiliating ways. Please God keep this ball rolling, it almost feels like the first taste of justice in about as long as I can remember.
Three designers allege that Shein "sold exact copies of their creative work," violating their copyrights and engaging in racketeering.
they're accused of racketeering. holy shit.
AND """FUN""" PARAGRAPH PEOPLE SHOULD READ:
The lawsuit is just the latest in a series of difficulties Shein has faced. In May a bipartisan group of two dozen lawmakers asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to put the brakes on an initial public offering by Shein until it verified that it does not use forced labor from the country's predominantly Muslim Uyghur population.
Holy shit. 98% of the people in Ohio State University's precinct voted NO on issue one. When I tell you Republicans are scared shitless of young people, this is what I mean. Young people see right through what Republicans are doing & it's just not going to work with us.
EXCLUSIVE: Regardless of whether SAG-AFTRA goes on strike this week, the studios have no intention of sitting down with the Writers Guild fo
“Receiving positive feedback from Wall Street since the WGA went on strike May 2,Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount and others have become determined to “break the WGA,” as one studio exec blatantly put it.
“To do so, the studios and the AMPTP believe that by October most writers will be running out of money after five months on the picket lines and no work.
“‘The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” a studio executive told Deadline. Acknowledging the cold-as-ice approach, several other sources reiterated the statement. One insider called it ‘a cruel but necessary evil.’
“The studios and streamers’ next think financially strapped writers would go to WGA leadership and demand they restart talks before what could be a very cold Christmas. In that context, the studios and streamers feel they would be in a position to dictate most of the terms of any possible deal.”

If you're thinking about watching that Pontoon Boat fight that went viral... watch this instead.
out of curiosity i wanted to compare this metric to david zaslav's salary, so lets specifically compare it to his earnings last year which was $39 million. if the studios referred to in this article continue to lose this amount consistently week to week, over the course of a whole year it STILL wouldn't total up to $39 million. it would take just shy of another 3 months for them to lose as much as this one man made in one year. that's how grotesquely overinflated his paycheck is and that is precisely why this strike needs to happen.
yeah, I remember a lot of this growing up
I don't live near any major picket lines, so if I have to get on social media every day or every few days and further explain why this is an issue and that CEOs are overpaid then that's what I'm going to do. If they want to save money, get AI to do their jobs.
And don't forget that Zaslav is a Trump supporter and Murdoch supports white supremacists.
Yes yes yes
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if VFX is unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting VFX (do not revel in this. do not glorify striking as an inherent action. let's all just hope that workers get better conditions. also as many have pointed out VFX is an entire sector of production, not just animators. poor wording on my part)
