It's incredible to me that there were people out there rooting for this merger because they thought it would somehow "benefit" workers and gamers.

Mergers destroy jobs, ruin lives, reduce consumer choice, and make our economy less free and less fair. Always.

let this be a lesson! the way to get ahead in this town is to stay in line, keep your mouth shut, and hope someone else has the fortitude to stand up and stick their own neck out so you can later just slide in there and reap the benefits of their sacrifice

Comedy/Variety writing -- like the kind you see on SNL, John Oliver, and A Black Lady Sketch Show -- is some of the most skillful writing on television, and is watched by millions. These writers deserve to be recognized on @theEmmys telecast. @WGAWest

“While Latinos are a growing and essential part of the cultural and social fabric of America, based on the dismal numbers from the recent (USC report) America’s narrative-creating and image-defining institution — is broadly failing to acknowledge or include the Latino community.”

[Michael Okuda @MikeOkuda]

Why haven’t stores with automated/self checkout lowered prices? Could it be that increased profits from lowered costs NEVER trickle down to consumers OR employees? That corporate warnings that wage hikes will result in higher prices are just a smokescreen for unending greed?

So many warned this would happen

I have been trying to get this story out there for so long. I'm so glad people are finally paying attention.

Governments that depend on revenue from film productions really should be getting involved in the AI fight and regulating the shit out of it. This is what you’ll lose

totally agree, hillary

I stand with @unitehere11 hotel workers and will not attend any award show or after party if it is held at a hotel with a picket line. I will not attend the 2024 #GoldenGlobes if it is held at the @beverlyhilton should they still not have a contract with their workers. 🪧✊🏻
