Pretty much. It’s kind of like the dichotomy between coal mining jobs and jobs in renewable energy. The latter has more opportunities open and is growing, but the former generally paid a lot more and it’s hard to get someone who used to be able to support an entire family to settle for a job that makes dramatically…

Well, it does make perfect sense if you want to funnel more money to the already-wealthy. Profit margins for farming, even agribusiness, are thin. And honestly, these are people who are always going to be able to get tomatoes and strawberries, even if they have to send the housekeeper to Zabar’s. They literally…

Does anyone else think Melania is not really pretty? I think she looks hard and mean and she squints pretty bad.

Been many years ago and I can’t remember where I read it, but during the filming of Marathon Man, Hoffman was jogging like mad before a scene and Lawrence Olivier asked him, “Why can’t you just act?”

If you’re not able to relocate, training for a job that doesn’t exist in your current location makes even less sense than holding out futile hope that your old career will become viable again. At least with the second option, you can spend the time working at McDonalds and make some money. Let’s be real here. These…

The idea of “merit based immigration” is also funny coming from the “they’re taking our jobs!” crowd. Like, sure, you can give visas to people who have computer engineering degrees- but there are already Americans who have those degrees and want to work in that field. There aren’t tons of Americans who want to spend…

“Meanwhile, coal miners are rejecting Obama-era retraining initiatives because they’re pretty sure Trump is going to bring back coal.”

And that boyfriend was John Cazale, who could out-act Hoffman.

He also made awful comments about Meryl Streep’s boyfriend, who had recently died of cancer, during Kramer vs. Kramer. All in the name of art, of course. After all, we can all see from her later career that she can’t possibly portray emotions like sadness or anger without having a male costar make her acting choices…

She’s saying her music IS for People of Color and she’s not afraid to say it. I’m with it. I am a non-Black person who attends LA BLM meetings and before they allow any non-Black people in, they accommodate the Black people who come first. It’s not for me, but I want to support and I am okay with that. Her music is by…

Quite literally, if something pisses off Geert Wilders, I am almost certain to support that thing. That man’s a jumped-up Hitler wannabe and I won’t have any of his bullshit.

The right wing was able to create a fuss about a black First Lady encouraging kids to exercise and eat vegetables. If the right wing’s gonna be a whiny baby person, then the right wing can go fuck itself.

On the other hand, why should I give two shits what right wing publications think about anything whatsoever?

From what I know of people working in crew positions in Hollywood, it’s very word of mouth and jobs are often gotten from former coworkers. This is completely hypothetical, but let’s say an art director will be hired, and they’ll say, “I’m going to need X number of people to do A, B, and C, and I know just the people…

It goes on everywhere frequently. I’ve been in corporate America for over 30 years. I could fill this comment section with just the stuff I know personally is true and was acted upon to at least some extent. And that’s just the “inappropriate” behavior. When you add in the general shit job that HR always does to…

Counterpoint: His acting ability has kept these people employed for 5 - 6 seasons of work. The original HOC was only 6 seasons and was going to be cancelled anyway.

There was a discussion on the Waypoint podcast in response to sexual harassment allegations in the games industry. One point that made is that HR is often there to look out for the company, not employees and may often say “we’ll talk to blank, but this does not rise to the level of an incident.” That means no report…

I never heard anything about Spacey being a CHILD molester, so on that count OP seems to be wrong. AFAIK, Rapp is the first person to raise such allegations against him and, in fact, the first one to openly call out Spacey on his sexual behavior at all.

And thing is, if that was the only allegation, Spacey could…

Well, just imagine if the Michael Jackson/kids-wine-porn thing broke now as opposed to in the late 90s, with lame stories about his “troubles” on 2-/20 and shit like that. Today, he’d be *eviscerated* by a pack of Twitter sharks—let’s make that a SHOAL of Twitter sharks—and just hounded out of the industry(s). As is…

I don’t know, a bi-sexual power-hungry predator’s self-imposed collapse portrayed by the real thing seems like the thing urban legends are made of.
