uis OP , in The arrested Putin's superyacht has been launched in Italy

At first I thought title should be exactly like in source.

verdantbanana , in 'Amtrak Joe' Biden is off to Delaware to give out $16 billion for passenger rail projects

“Of the railways involved in the dispute, six bargained together, forming the National Carriers Conference Committee. These six were Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, CSX, BNSF, Kansas City Southern, and Canadian National. Amtrak and Canadian Pacific bargained separately.”

“But at this critical moment for our economy, in the holiday season, we cannot let our strongly held conviction for better outcomes for workers deny workers the benefits of the bargain they reached, and hurl this nation into a devastating rail freight shutdown.”

sounds like someone is protecting their railroad bribes

Franzia , in Los Angeles Wants Its Citizens to Stay at Home for the 2028 Olympics

I hope the protests are unbelievable.

Poutinetown , in Inspired by online dating, AI tool for adoption matchmaking falls short for vulnerable foster kids

Is it even “AI-powered”?

Ramirez, of Brunswick, Georgia, where her nonprofit is also based, refused to provide details about the algorithm’s inner workings and declined interview requests. By email, she said the tool was a starting point for social workers and did not determine whether a child would be adopted.

Seems like they are throwing in AI just for the headlines.

Coreidan , in Indy police arrest ‘terrorist’ for purposely driving her car into what she thought was a Jewish schoo

Sounds like he should be charged for mass attempted murder. Couple of life sentences should do the trick.

Coreidan , in A staggering 80% of American households are financially worse off than they were before COVID-19

    corsicanguppy , in Actors’ Union Says It Receives ‘Last, Best and Final’ Offer From Studios

    hourlong

    Shame, NYT. Learn to English.

    No u

    That’s accepted spelling.

    oldbaldgrumpy , in Alabama Mayor Kills Self After Right-Wing Blog Outs His Cross-Dressing

    Problem solved.

    stella , in Actors’ Union Says It Receives ‘Last, Best and Final’ Offer From Studios

    What the fuck are the studios gonna do, make movies and shows without actors?

    What are actors going to do? Just star in avant-garde productions because they can’t work with any popular IPs?

    That would mean more effort for less money.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Why do you think this is about working with popular IPs? This is about day players working two jobs to survive and not even making enough money to qualify for SAG-AFTRA health insurance because pay is so shit, coupled with the fact that the studios want to steal their likeness and use it in perpetuity using CG.

    stella ,

    Why do you think this is about working with popular IPs?

    How is this even a question? I was very clear. But to be clearer for those of you in the back, what are the actors going to act in if they can’t act in the movies which the studios own the rights to?

    Working two jobs to survive

    Okay, bud. I don’t think you know what the word ‘survive’ means. It’s not like these people are ‘surviving’ off of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. Try to learn the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ before you make this about ‘survival.’

    coupled with the fact that the studios want to steal their likeness and use it in perpetuity using CG.

    Steal their what? You mean copy?

    Yes, they literally are. Famous movie stars are paid millions. Day players are paid shit. Maybe work in the industry before you talk about things you know nothing about.

    stella ,

    Day players are paid shit. Maybe work in the industry before you talk about things you know nothing about.

    What? So you’re telling me they’re actually eating bologna and cheese sandwiches on a regular basis because they can’t afford anything else?

    They must not also be subscribing to any streaming services, right? Probably doing a lot of shopping at Walmart? They must not travel much, either.

    Or are they trying to live as luxurious a life as possible (like everyone else) while doing as little work as possible? (like everyone else)

    Like I said, learn the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ before you try to make this about survival.

    Yes.

    Yes.

    No.

    Minimum requirement for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is $26,000 a year. Thousands do not make enough to qualify and do not have health insurance.

    If you think making less than $26,000 a year and not having health insurance is living a luxurious life, you must be posting from your tent under a bridge right now.

    KevonLooney ,

    You forget. They’re not just making less than $26K, they’re also living in LA.

    Some of them in their cars.

    canni ,

    Not every actor is George Clooney you twat. Most of them are working in cafes and coffee shops on the side

    stella ,

    Nice hyperbole.

    brianorca ,

    SAG-AFTRA has 170,000 voting members. Only a small fraction makes more than a million.

    stella ,

    Good thing nobody needs more than $50k/year to live a respectable life in the US.

    canni ,

    Los Angeles has one of the highest costs of living in the world

    stella ,

    Just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

    canni ,

    Nice retort. It’s okay to be wrong friend, we’re all here to learn and grow.

    stella ,

    Yeah, people need to present logical arguments though.

    deur ,

    You’re a stupid cunt.

    stella ,

    You’re mad I called out greed for what it is.

    Kolanaki , in Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    Those analysts should STFU and stop telling the companies that.

    520 ,

    The companies already know.

    ArugulaZ , in With the world on fire, a cowardly, timid news media is a threat to U.S. democracy

    Anyone else ever think of pulling the plug on election day? It's just too much, man. I suffered through one term of Trump; I can't do it again.

    elbarto777 ,

    What do you mean pulling the plug? Like disconnecting after voting? I hope you still do your part and vote. Right?

    ArugulaZ ,

    Of course I'll vote. I'm just not terribly confident about the results regardless.

    ToastedPlanet ,

    Fascism won’t be going away no matter the results of the next election so we’re going to need people to stand up for each other. We need people who can spot fascism and call it out. People aren’t inclined to believe the kind of fascist takeovers that the Republican and Libertarian parties have gone through the first time we tell them. At least, when I tell people irl they don’t seem to really believe it. We need everyone we can get to keep telling them. There’s never going to be a moment when everyone realizes what’s happening so people have to spread it by word of mouth, either online or irl.

    I don’t want to do another Trump term either, but we need to be there for each other.

    PsychedSy ,

    You’ll make it through and our country will either fall apart or come out stronger.
