@L0m3z would prefer they send the national guard to end pimp wars in Seattle

@nr_wayne The ending of Guermantes Way is excellent. If you haven't been enjoying it up to that point brace yourself, volume four is very tedious

Admirable stuff. I'm seeing comments dunking on these people. Sure, have a laugh. But this is how you reach across the aisle and change minds. The federal government should absolutely get involved

Breaking: A Seattle neighborhood declares WAR against pimps shooting up Aurora Avenue while engaging in turf wars over prostitutes.

Residents say they have been constantly dodging bullets since the city decriminalized prostitution in 2020, resulting in open-air sex trafficking and an increase in gun violence.

If the city refuses to address the yearslong issue, some residents want President Trump to intervene and order a federal crackdown.

@babybilly1968 @KatieDaviscourt It's hilarious but this is how you change minds. The federal government should absolutely step in. Humiliate local government

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@KatieDaviscourt Good stuff, well done

@CityBureaucrat I think the network has been sold twice over same period of time? I remember after the first sale in 2018 AT&T explicitly said they had no plans to maintain it's "boutique" status

@Babygravy9 Don't like Mayweather but that was fair and justified

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@fleur_inverse hot and bothered

imagine being a whistle blower in an industry begging for someone to put it out of its misery

"Art director making $300 a day is a livable wage."

One thing people don't understand about the film business is it's feast or famine. You may not work for weeks or months so that money has to be saved and amortized.

Then the Obsession crew lives in LA, so they're paying the highest rents, highest gas, highest utilities, highest insurance (to be fair they keep voting for it, but that's another story).

A 14 hour day doesn't account for 1 hour of traffic each way. Indies can routinely go 12-18 hours.

Art department is an especially brutal crew. They are the first to get on set, the last to leave. No set, no shoot.

Then crew heads don't really get paid for their time. Reading the script? Free. Thinking about it? Free. Talking with the director? Free. Creative discussion, creative obsessing, detail planning on weekends. Free free free. The time on the clock is not the time on the job.

$300 a day on an 18 hour day, before gas or any other expenses, is $16 an hour. The off the clock work is double that. So $8 an hour. Now save that to survive the next actor/writer strike.

Is it a livable wage? Sure. In Iowa if you're a mid level stripper. Not a film crew in LA.

@jarvis_best I don't know what more needs to happen for people to realize there isn't really a movie industry anymore. Yeah, some get made. But if these are the conditions on movies you know about imagine how bad it is on the ones you never hear of, which make up the majority made

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@AnaKrivolapova Can't say enough about the progress he made as an artist, and not just aesthetically. there are themes in his writing have gone from obscure, to niche, to common

@mtgreenee You blew it

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@FrankHassleYT @fishtankislive fishtank out of context is so funny

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@AnaKrivolapova can you imagine the stories

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@joerussotweets @conan_esq what's the point of enduring all that just to nuke your reputation?

[barbitas 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @coldreadz]

@AlexNoonan6 @AGoldmund I grade on a curve, they were genuinely eccentric and niche. Mainstream bands with names like are unforgivable
