"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."
Literally was just thinking about this on the way to work and realized just how cookie cutter popular media has become today and god i hope that the entire industry bubble pops and starts from scratch.
I hope that people start looking to indie artists and discover a whole new world of variety that was hidden to them under a sea of oppressive advertisements. I want to see small studios suddenly flourish and compete with each other instead of stumbling behind in the wake of massive companies. I hope we get more shit like Guillermo del Toro’s Pinnochio and audience backed shows like Critical Role’s animated series. I want shit to get weird again. I want new stories instead of five fucking sequels and an endless ongoing stream of marvel shoved in my face. I want cult classics like Tremors to start popping up again. I want physical media to come back like CDs
I want that goddamn bubble to pop, how did it get this bad
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 CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED
this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!
Today in transphobic idiocy...
Avery Jackson did a non-medical transition at the age of four. At the time, they felt more comfortable as a girl. As they grew up and their understanding of gender evolved, they decided nonbinary transgender suited them better.
And now that they are 15, their family is moving out of Missouri because they fear the recent draconian anti-trans laws.
"No longer identifies as a girl" does not mean they identify as a boy. They are still trans. They knew from the age of 4 that being a boy was not right for them.
I don't think they changed their mind. I think they just found a better understanding of who they were.
These bigots know nothing about trans people yet think they are qualified to criticize them.
The mobile app is trash so the ad was blocked by this video instead. Thanks furries.
Update, she is still there. She is blocking every ad on my dash. Bless you fursuit queen.
Implicit storytelling in two tweets:
Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.
So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.
im sick to death of the girlboss phenomenom. appreciate strugglewomen or we'll never get anything done around here

Always reblog Jake and Elwood taking care of business.
poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website
yea that'd be a shame
by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly
just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇
Ocean gate, formerly owned by Stockton Rush, who knew so much better about anything to do with underwater vehicular safety than everyone else, until his hubris caught up with him and he fucking imploded? That ocean gate?
yes, that oceangate
sure would be a shame if their plan failed horribly, wouldn't it?
