I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.

When Hollywood execs say that they'll wait until their writers/actors are losing their homes and starving to get them to come back to work, (bluffing or not,) they're laying bare the reason capitalists are so vehemently opposed to strong social policies;

If people don't have to work in order to ensure a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, good health, and food on their tables then corporations have zero means of coercing people to work in the unsafe, degrading, and/or meaningless jobs that facilitate profit for the owners and stockholders at the expense of everyone at the bottom of the organizational structure.

I have heard, though I don't know how truthful, that the Screen Actors Guild has a fund that they will specifically use to keep writers housed during the strike, which is absolutely wonderful class solidarity.
