Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves heโ€™s not a fascist.

The Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to Antifa, for not holding a revolt.

David Cross Rips Comedy Legends: The Saudi 'Blood Money' Fest and the Death of Stand-Up Principles Comedian David Cross unleashes an ironic, scorched-earth rant against Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, and others for taking massive 'blood money' paychecks at Saudi Arabia's controversial Riyadh Comedy Fes...

The David Cross vs. The Saudi Payday comics drama is a masterclass in celebrity hypocrisy. Chappelle, Burr, etc., spent years fighting 'cancel culture' only to take government money from a regime that actually, you know, cancels people for real. celebrityonlines.com/david-cross-...

Hmmm. I wonder if SCOTUS has seen this? Is this what Kavanaugh meant when he said it was no big deal that targeted people were 'just' stopped, questioned, and then released, no problem?

And the MAGA crowd screams... YEAH.

I do not, I will not, I cannot mourn the unmitigated evil that was Charlie Kirk and his millions of followers.

Hosting peace talks with a war criminal and failing to invite the other side is not a peace talk; it is a strategy session.

This & a basket of other ideas is the kind of thinking I want to bring to the convention. This is the kind of thinking I want to encourage the National Board to engage in

Weโ€™d be doing our members a signal service but also, weโ€™d be doing casting people a service too! They wouldnโ€™t have to weed through 1,000s of submissions โ€” Iโ€™ve heard horror stories from casting directors โ€” and weโ€™d each get more opportunities, more efficiently.

Iโ€™ve heard the same reasons you have about iActor, but I donโ€™t buy them as a final answer, and Iโ€™d like that to change. Why not find a way to develop that so itโ€™s useful and can save you money?

13.08.2025 15:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Why? Why should this be? The SAG-AFTRA website has a database in place (iActor) where we can guarantee that only union actors are seen. Iโ€™ve been in this business for decades and I can count on the fingers on my feet how many times Iโ€™ve received an inquiry through that.

13.08.2025 15:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But lookit: for that $1,000, we have to compete with non-union actors, and our brethren and sisteren who submit in bulk to any job, even jobs they are automatically typed out of.

13.08.2025 15:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

For instance, you and I could spend upwards of $1,000 annually to get access to casting calls, usually duplicative, across the various casting billboards like Casting Networks, Actors Access, Backstage and so on. And itโ€™s nice that the union can find our discounts on these amounts.

Seeing this in black and white, it becomes pretty clear why SAG-AFTRA is hobbled in any attempts to find us work.

My focus in this campaign is to find ways that SAG-AFTRA can help us help ourselves.
