"Here we go again! Now our video game agreement is at a stalemate too," said SAG-AFTRA president, Fran Drescher. "Once again, we are facing employer greed and disrespect. Once again, artificial intelligence is putting our members in jeopardy of reducing their opportunity to work. And once again, SAG-AFTRA is standing up to tyranny on behalf of its members.

Just got a message that Disney has pulled its entire channel lineup from my cable company. It seems Disney wanted more money in return for the right to stream their content, so they're withholding it in protest. This idea sounds familiar. Perhaps they'll learn something from the experience.

[Residuals Tavern] opened in 1986, with a gimmick: anyone who presented a residual check for less than a dollar got a free drink. At first, checks were posted in a display case. “It’s one per visit,” Decker said. Someone had already come in with a check for ninety-five cents. “We usually get at least one or two a day,” he noted.

Union Bosses aren't any better than capitalist bosses. This is why we must join together in solidarity through radical industrialized unions run by the rank-and-file directly.

@collin @geichel Then one day a bunch of systems engineers were talking about the strike and how struck with them, and someone said, "if they really wanted to bring the studios to their knees, they'd get the streaming service IT engineers to strike."

And then it got really quiet.

I’m pissed specifically at the executives of , , and for blowing an opportunity to end the and by saying what was a good step forward is suddenly now “the final offer”.

I don’t know how practical this hope is, but if were to break off from ATMP and form a new guild that will actually negotiate with and respect the writers and actors of America then consider me a Paramount Adult.

"He was more than a hero. He was a man!"

He stood up to his own brother Quark, and now he's standing up to the Hollywood bosses.

Be like Max/Rom!

We have nothing to lose but our chains.

"Hold the line!"

A large majority of Americans support the writers and actors strikes, and a plurality hold an unfavorable view of the Hollywood studios, according to a new poll by Data for Progress.

The poll found 67% support among likely voters for the strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, while just 18% oppose them. variety.com/2023/biz/news/poll

Hollywood Writers and Actors Are Striking to Make Globalization Work for Them

Globalization has upended film and TV, creating more jobs, but ones that are worse-paid and more precarious. Like UPS Teamsters did with their strike threat, striking Hollywood workers are seeking to make their industry's global reach work for them.

WGA Calls Day 100 Of Writers Strike A “Milestone Of Shame” For AMPTP, But Optimism For A Deal Remains

As I have said many times, the WGA strike is far, far from over and this shows the producers disinterest in making a deal of any kind.

So far, I've yet to hear anyone actually opposing the -AFTRA strike.

My parents support it and they're Republicans.

Linus Sebastian of is cheering it on, and he's a business owner.

I'm not sure if this is a function of people being freaked out about or just that entertainment companies have burned through literally all of their goodwill. Possibly both.
