A24, a small independent film company which makes low budget films, has already signed INTERIM AGREEMENTS with the actors and writers on strike. That means the employers have agreed to all the terms actors and writers are making of the big Hollywood studios. If indies can afford it, why cant billionaires? #wga #sagaftra #strike
Incidentally, some amazing things have come out of A24. Perhaps my favorite is Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, but they have so many gems.
Well, well, well...
"Republicans have bellowed in outrage at how little traction the story is getting in the media even now that the data is supposedly "confirmed" to be Hunter's. But that's not surprising either; it's almost certainly the result of criminal hacking."

DeSatan is a fascist authoritarian dick-tator who is a threat to OUR country, OUR elections, OUR democracy, OUR Constitution and OUR Rule of LAW.🤬 -ER
Lesley Abravanel 🪩@lesleyabravanel :
Since Grand Wizard DeSantis has dictated that Florida public schools teach our kids how slavery helped the slaves by teaching them skills, it’s only a matter of time before teachers must teach how some Jewish concentration camp prisoners also learned skills in the labor camps.
Republican Failures!
Researchers found that children in Florida aged 14 and younger are seeking dental care through emergency departments for non-traumatic dental conditions at the highest rate in the country.
That tells me Florida provides little to no medical assistance programs to their low and middle income residents!
Parents and kids are forced to wait until it's too late for their dental needs.. DeSantis should be ashamed!

What gets me is that they think we're stupid and have no ability to recall what happened.
Like the fact that trump's DOJ opened an investigation into Hunter Biden. And Joe Biden didn't even bitch about it. He let trump's hand-picked people finish.

Reminds me of the old linguistic prejudice against code switching. It was presumed to be an inherently inferior more of communication - yet it clearly required greater skill, & when done well, allowed for far greater subtlety.
Trump uses the ‘victim’ card as well as any of the Fascist leaders of the past 60 years or so. Those leaders all decimated their countries and themselves. Trump will too. And as with all bullies, the magats will scurry away pretending they have not destroyed a generation or two of the country’s citizens, economy, and world standing. https://gratefuldread.masto.host/@gratefuldread/110747627744692938
