#BenAffleck says film crews deserve to be paid “the decent middle wage that’s been provided for decades in this country” — which is why he and #MattDamon struck a first-of-its-kind deal with #Netflix on their new movie “The Rip” where all 1,200 cast and crew members could receive a back-end bonus if the film succeeds.
“There’s no guarantee that everyone’s going to get rich and be successful, but if you work on a project and it is successful, you ought to benefit from that,” Affleck told Variety on Tuesday night at “The Rip” worldwide premiere in New York.
Most streaming projects pay workers a flat fee upfront, ditching the old model where cast and crew could earn more when a project became a hit.
@frostrayner I got the Kobo Libra Colour (Cause Fuck Amazon) and it definitely isn’t bad at all for reading comics but it is washed out and a not as bright as you might think, but it is a solid option. The colors remind me of how comics were printed in the 90s, which works really well on it
@RichardOcelot He also said that Bruce is having a very hard time being Batman. This might be why he wasn’t in Penguin. He was in love and felt Batman was no longer needed in order for him to be happy. Straight from the movie
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike against the “tyranny” of Trump and the greed of the ultra-rich. An estimated 300,000 filled the streets for the “No Kings” march, powerfully rejecting the federal government’s “Operation Midway Blitz” against the city.
I think the entire virtue of the Absolute universe is looking into the face that’s saying “life isn’t fair, nothing matters, everything is terrible” and still saying “but what if it didn’t have to be” and doing something about it
dems at record low approval because instead of walking out the moment they saw TRUMP2028 hats they sat down for a friendly chat and let themselves be photographed.
@B4TMANSBFF Seeing him in Masters of the Air sealed it for me. He’s Batman. His speech in one of the episodes about witnessing people being harmed and doing nothing is fucking peak Batman. He nailed the silent, cold anger that embodies Batman’s quest to fight the evils in Gotham
Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.
Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.
That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.
But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.
This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.
I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.
Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.

Can we stop polling Trump for 2028? He’s constitutionally not allowed to run and if we keep polling this shit, the overton window shifts and people are gonna act like he CAN do it.
Stop this shit now.
He can’t run so stop polling this idiocy.
@NerdVeno I don’t care for him bc I like Nate Mann more as Batman tbh. He’s also Juliard trained and the same age as Corenswet. Watching him in Masters of the Air convinced me he can do the job 100% plus he’s Dan Mora Batman come to life
they both found out the truth about their parents, which shattered their world since they based their entire heroism on their parents' legacy, and it was also broadcast on television for the whole world to see :(
