Gosh, why would actors refuse a deal that essentially implies their skills are worthless and inferior to shitty-looking digital puppetry? A real head scratcher.

Oh, some people are. Some asshole morons, but still.

Good. Literally nobody is blaming the actors for this strike.

OMG that clip. Who gave that the OK? Like, sure in a wide show or something maybe - but you can clearly see those “actors” and their freakish zombie mannequin mannerisms. 

That’s the whole point of the push for top-to-bottom automation — so the wealthy can completely eliminate any dependence they have on the rest of humanity, once and for all. Sure, it won’t be ‘as good’ as what actual people can do, but it’ll be good enough that they won’t care anymore, because it’ll be infinite,…

Excellent point made by someone on Twitter:

He’s a psychologically damaged narcissist with the money and influence to have weaseled his way into one of the most powerful positions in the world. He has no idea how guilty he is, but he’ll keep throwing people in front of the train.

This.  He’s always been a P.O.S. that has nothing but money and lawyers to back up his bluster.  Let’s hope the Law decides honestly based on the available evidence and convicts this slimeball.

He would not have the power to change a verdict, but he’s already lost this case, the rest of the trial is just hashing out details and how much he’s going to have to pay. But he’s of course going to appeal, and right now it looks like his plan is to piss off the judge to the point where he does something, and then he…

He’s rich. Rich people don’t face the same consequences for their actions that the everyman does.

Pretty much the “Everything I needed to know in life I learned in kindergarten” thing summed in one sentence. 

Pretty sure if I mouthed off like that more than exactly once in a court room I would be held in Contempt and imprisoned. Maybe two weeks in the slammer would help him get some manners, and then he can face the rest of the music?

The #1 rule I tried to teach my daughter: Don’t be a dick. I think she’s got it now, but I still remind her sometimes.

If you are gonna dump corpses of Legitimate Business Rivals in the back of the truck, ya gotta tip your trash collector ya goombah. That is just polite.

I imagine the arm would injure Evelyn quite severely.

Seems odd for them to even offer an option that can’t be automated.

I’m telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

BOOOOOORTLES!!!

The whole thing boils down to “don’t be an asshole” and everyone gets along just fine.

“Don’t light things on fire and throw them in the back of the truck”
