Which upstanding media conglomerate capable of funding a multimillion dollar endeavor would you be referring to?

TheOlympian , 9 months ago to workreform in Hollywood writers and studios reach tentative deal to end strike after nearly 150 days

If it gives you some solace, Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) is a big fan of Jane and had her on his podcast (Factually) just a few months back and it seemed like they had a fast mentor/mentee relationship going. Adam is also a member of the negotiation committee for the WGA so I expect some of her methods are being used, albeit not specifically a open negotiation (which, on the podcast, she stated she didn't approve of).

My guess is the exceptional degree of publicity that entertainment strikes specifically get might have something to do with the WGA's strategy of keeping things out of the press until there's actual movement, though I tend to agree with Jane as well.

TheOlympian , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

I actually came here to say it USED to be D&D, but now it seems like every time I bring it up it's followed by a full conversation about either them playing as well, them wanting to play, or questions they've always had about the game. It's a stark difference from what it was just 5 or so years ago.
