Hey Hollywood! Hey Actors! Hey Producers and Writers!

Exxon just took your stuff and home. Ruined your world, and they're paying rapists to lie about it.

Thats as true as anything ever written. As solid as a rock.

What are you going to do about it?

Exxon and the oil cons aren't done burning your world.

What are you going to do about it?

Interesting. If the family'd prefer they re-create her voice, then no foul, say me. But I love that the Brits are saying 'slippery slope' and 'time to draw a line in the sand like our American brothers and sisters'.

Great news! AMPTP: "Today’s tentative agreement gives SAG-AFTRA the largest increase in minimum wages in the last 40 yrs; a *brand new residual* for streaming programs; extensive *consent & compensation protections* in the use of artificial intelligence; & sizable contract increases on items across the board." Those greedy execs took $6B out of CA economy, w/ their purposely-extended work stoppage.
