This is Oligarchy.
Since Election Day, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg have become $232 billion richer & are now worth $920 billion combined. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must fight for an economy that works for all, not just the few.
jeff bezos went from promising to never interfere with the editorial decisions of the Washington Post to flat out saying the Post is not allowed to publish any opinion he does not agree with.
i don't know how to express that i was only interested in a robbie williams biopic BECAUSE he was a monkey, instead of less interested
it being near-universally praised by critics was just a bonus
it got me in because it took a risk and did something new and interesting
I'm not dying to watch the movie myself but the "I don't know anything about Robbie Williams so why would I watch it" line of reasoning is WILD. Bitch wtf did you know about Oppenheimer?
The Robbie Williams movie discourse is insane. Why do people seem absolutely gleeful it’s not making money? Movies are worth making because they’re art, not because they turn a profit. Studios should take big swings at crazy ideas and we should be happy something cool got made!
450 creatives? This is mostly a list of has beens, never was'es, B-listers, hacks and execs, agents and other money people who wouldn't know a creative idea if it came up and bit them. Further evidence of the death throes of Zionism.
With that being said, their “open letter” is a pathetic response to a man of conscience who humbly expressed a modicum of support for Palestine. Israel enablers can threaten, blacklist and bully people who draw a line connecting the Holocaust to the 75 years of trauma inflicted on Palestinians, but they won't stop people from drawing the line or expressing themselves.
The article references Vanessa Redgrave's "infamous 'Zionist hoodlums' speech.” Just to be clear, in her Oscar acceptance speech, Vanessa Redgrave was referring to the hoodlums from the Jewish Defence League, a known terrorist organization. In the run-up to the Oscars ceremony, JDL people had burnt her effigy, put a bounty on her head and threatened her studio to drop their support for her Oscar campaign. Redgrave had to enter the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion under armed guard, with snipers on the roof. And what was her crime? Funding and narrating a documentary about the Palestinian struggle. The more things change, the more they stay the same, except now one can't even say the most tepid things without being threatened with blacklisting.
Editorial: All reasonable economists urge the government not to implement the stage three tax cuts. Anyone looking at their impact can see they will make the country less fair, that they will unpick the safety net and undermine health and education.

So far this year, wildfires in Canada have burned a land area larger than 140 of the world’s 230 countries. The season has months to go, and, as has been the case for months already, more than a thousand wildfires are burning across the country, more than half “out of control.”
@Bension1 It’s outrageous. This entire thread and everyone’s stories and comments need to go into the rental enquiry! Fill it out here folks:
