I think what matters here is what’s meant by “reprimand.” If it’s basically just pulling the person aside and letting them know that wasn’t the right venue for that question, I don’t have a problem with such a “reprimand.” But if it’s some formal “write up” with HR, nah, fuck that. Someone who reports to me would…

The daytime TV market is dying off/consolidating even more rapidly than network primetime. Clarkson’s show is one of the few major syndicated shows left.

The article went out of the way multiple times to say that none of the employees complained about Kelly herself, which I think speaks volumes. Unfortunately for her, people don’t read past the headline.

I feel it’s more about leverage. No need to bargain in good faith when everything is opaque. Much easier to pretend there’s no money to go around.

I feel like there’s a difference between Ellen saying she had no clue and ex-employees specifically speaking up about poor treatment stating that Kelly Clarkson didn’t. It’s weird to compare Ellen’s claims to victims talking about Clarkson.

“For the most part that strike was really good, but it got kind of boring in the last third. If it had been like 20% shorter it would have been one of the all time great strikes.”

A written script is not the end of the line. 100% of shows require on-set and editing-stage rewrites. This fixes anything from continuity errors to new wrinkles introduced by on-set realities/improvisations. Often it’s a show runner-writer, but those people cannot do any writing during the strike. So shows will either…

There’s a huge market for pop-punk right now but, ironically, Sum 41 hasn’t been purely “pop punk” in well over a decade. They can still shred though. I’ll have to catch the farewell tour!

Is anyone else getting redirected to McAfee ads in the middle of reading articles? This might be it for me.

“some of the main places where the writers is”

That’s also kind of why the whole thing is ridiculous.

I feel like a pop-culture website - where many of the readers are here to participate in THE DISCOURSE, and the writers literally make a living off it - is gonna have a biased perspective on the importance of zeitgeist.

I wonder if they have some kind of clause in the contract for this type of situation, that when you sign on, you are stating you have been forthright about any issues that could be harmful to the movie, and if anything comes to light, it would trigger repercussions, like forfeiture of the deal without a buyout.

I mean, you’re assuming there is anything to find. There may have been nothing publicly available up until now. 

Maybe I’m just unimaginative, but I have a hard time seeing how they could have dug this up. It’s not like there were official accusations before now. Even if they interviewed old partners, how likely would they be to talk about this? It’s hard enough for victims to talk to the police, why would they talk to some…

Beyond disappointing to hear. His performance in Amadeus is a marvel, and truly deserving of the Best Actor award Abraham received for it. I’d always felt sorry for him that he didn’t have the career befitting the person who gave such a great performance, and the late career resurgence he experienced beginning with…

Crypto isn’t frequent use, it’s constant, high power use. Buying a used card is a gamble that just isn’t worth it or the hassle. Unless you buy from someone you know and what they used it for.

Sorry I disagree, every time you turn on your pc you get closer to failure. Mean Time Before Failure is expected life normally determined by cycles, or run time hours. I would not buy a product that was used at any point as a cryptocurrency producer. I was a design engineer who dealt with UL/CSA compliance testing…

You’re making the bold assumption that crypto mining cards are being operated in conditions that don’t exceed the card’s tolerances, and not a huge, unventilated rack in some Russian dude’s half-flooded basement.

Brave to trust a used card after the crypto fad.
