The shift in how Bojack is was presented morally in the last two seasons is still so interesting to me. Especially since it’s partly because the creator of the show found out w*instein was a fan and acted accordingly
Some of the discourse around the #SAGstrike reminds me of an assumption about actors that I've come across for most of my life. Many people seem to assume that there are ONLY TWO kinds of actors:
1. Wildly famous, rich celebrities
2. Failed pretenders who are actually servers 1/
it seems to me that "the bear" and "the menu" actually did far more to spread public awareness of the unsustainable exploitation of restaurant workers than most any labor story that has come out in the past few years
but because this requires an entirely new vision of politics (coupled with the toxic version of “rugged individualism” shoved down our throats) there is little hope of change, only more thoughts and prayers
a government exists to better the lives of its people, and part of that means looking ahead, anticipating future challenges, and setting up systems to address them BEFORE THEY HAPPEN
