Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA and leading the strike against, amongst other things, studios wanting to use AI to replace actors and writers.

state_electrician ,

Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she’s the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn’t been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she’s been really active behind the scenes.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

LeafyBirch ,

It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

fuck yeah! that was awesome! great speech!

thesprongler ,

spacedancer ,

I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.

thesprongler ,

She’s from Flushing, NY, so that’s just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.

clutchmatic ,

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it… In the context of that show, this was so, so funny

samus12345 ,

She also used that voice in UHF, 4 years before The Nanny.

I really think this is a much better and longer example of her real voice

The other comment link showcases her ability to turn it off and on in a funny way but the above is relevant to the strike.

atyaz , in Every bell curve meme

I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the “math is fun” link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.

henfredemars ,

Next time try Simple English Wikipedia. It’s really great for explaining things where the full version is still too much.

For example, try their article on quantum physics.

IDatedSuccubi ,

Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it’s written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on

I used to think that it’s too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it’s very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there

glassware OP ,

I hear you with this, I’ve ended up doing a distance learning Maths degree just so I can understand all the Wikipedia squiggles

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fitandnatural

Thanks. It’s not exactly porn, but I subbed anyway.

I had brave on my machine but recently I am seeing a lot of shady stuff they are onto so uninstalled

void_wanderer , in "It has to be Chromium"

Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

b3nsn0w ,
@b3nsn0w@pricefield.org avatar

they’re 100% doing dev work at ms, afaik their contributions are public because chromium is an open source project. and i think it would be very beneficial for larger amounts of people to use edge (only if they’re dead set on not using firefox though) because having two different companies compete on that is still better than just having google have a monopoly.

mk7 ,

The Edge team has made a lot of major contributions to Chromium over the past few years.

Hextic , in Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

The Nanny being the one to lead the charge vs Skynet is the exact shit I expect from this current clown timeline.

And I’m fine with it. Fran Drescher is awesome.

clutchmatic ,

She’s passionate and she cares.

runjun ,

Fran is constantly fighting for people’s rights. I love her.

RocksForBrains ,

She’s an antivax conspiracy chud. Reserve your praise.

Hextic ,

Right now she’s fucking up Hollywood billionaires. If true then I’m willing to use her like we used the Soviets in WW2.

The greater good

Select your praise. You can praise her pro-SAG action without having to also praise or even care about her anti-vax postures.

Bobbi Flekman confronted the sexism in the Spinal Tap album “Smell the Glove” back when she worked artist relations for Polymer Records in 1982. She has known for years that “Money talks, and bullshit walks”

She confronted it again in UHF. And kicked it.

    Everyone else in the Navy is weird too, idk why we’re always the ones called out. But yes, can confirm.

    blackbelt352 , in Every bell curve meme

    I always saw bell curve memes as, “uncritical acceptance”, “critical rejection” and “critical holistic understanding”

    glassware OP ,

    That’s definitely the intention. But for the guy on the left, “critical holistic understanding” amounts to “X isn’t worth it because it’s too complicated”, and he posts most of these memes.
