SAG-AFTRA: “Hey, can we make sure we improve Background actors pay and working conditions? We want to make sure they’re all treated equally.”
AMPTP: No.
One upside to the strike is now @JamesUrbaniak has more time for the important things, like reading the Wikipedia article about Siamese cats out loud to me over breakfast. Many enjoy being with people and are sometimes described as "extroverts!”
Hilariously evil plan from the powers that be, and it won’t even work because these people forget that writers are already EXPERTS at being broke. They really think the WGA will give up by October lmao
The studios and streamers' plan is to reportedly 'break the WGA'
“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses"

Does anyone have a blue sky invite they can send me? I’m literally locked out of Twitter content now so I guess this is the final push I needed to migrate. Note that I won’t be able to see the replies to this tweet until tomorrow. Because that’s how social media thrives right?
@Radle@RonFilipkowski@GOP Taking a quick glance at your tweets, you remind me of my own parents: true old school economic conservatives. It’s rare to see one of y’all nowadays, esp on social media. I wish more GOPers like you pushed back harder at the current madness bc you are correct. It’s alienating.
The Wagner Group sounds like it should be leveraging best-in-class subject matter expertise to deliver unsurpassed ROI value by leveraging state of the art artificial intelligence and cloud-native architecture to today's business challenges
The “gender critical” (aka terf) movement might be annoying—and, sadly, extremely politically reactionary—but they can also be unintentionally very very funny. We should encourage these kinds of tweets at all costs; let them show who they are and Karen themselves into irrelevance
@annefcirl The Pavillions SC Swords. Centre Manager dismissed my concerns. When I said I wanted to make a complaint he replied saying well you have. Didn't take name or number
I’m a few days late but Happy PRIDE particularly if you are genderqueer, gender nonconforming, trans, non-binary, femboy, drag queen/king or just, like, anybody who challenges gender norms. I love you and I am here for you. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@jennyyangtv For PS4: I'm a slut for vaguely depressing 2-4 hour indie games about sad ppl:
Firewatch
Gone Home
What Remains of Edith Finch (this is a masterpiece, if you pick just one from this list pick this)
Oxenfree
Life Is Strange
@jennyyangtv Cozy Grove on Switch is a very lowkey cute Animal Crossing clone, gives you about an hour of daily content. Super relaxing. Also Stardew Valley obviously if you haven't played that yet.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a super fun 2+ player game, great for friends/coworkers

I'm using my newfound power as an unverified user to let you know I'm curating an art show to benefit https://t.co/xek2DiMTWI in Pasadena. Theme is: Cat Party! Guys, ADOPTABLE CATS WILL BE AT THIS ART SHOW. Book through the site, 6-7pm or 7-8pm on May 5! Art up thru June 11.
@DoopPooter@RayyvanaTTV I’ve seen a few blue checks in the replies arguing we need the “full context” or this is “Twitter propaganda.” I’m still adjusting to the fact that a check now highly signals you are about to read the most braindead take possible
@myoldhaunt It’s less about the literal imagery and more about how those images make you feel. Because it’s those heightened feelings that define Beau as a person. But that’s just how I took it!
@myoldhaunt My take is that nothing we see can be taken at face value because Beau is an anxious, ill person. So his bad neighborhood is perceived as violent to a comical degree, teen girls terrifying/confrontational, and his absent father who supposedly died shooting a load is a penis demon
