Pensions sound so fake as a zillennial. You work for one place for decades (already sounds fake) and then afterwards you leave and they just. keep paying you. the same amount of money. to do nothing. for the rest of your life. if i wasn't already aware that this was something that readily and commonly existed during my grandparent's days then it would sound like some kind of socialist pipe dream

PSA: TERMINOLOGY FOR WGA/SAG-AFTRA STRIKES

Friendly reminder that "Hollywood elites" is an antisemetic dogwhistle for Jews/Jewish people!

For those unaware, a dogwhistle is like a term with a double meaning. A sneaky way of bringing racist/homophobic/antisemetic and otherwise bigoted language into the mainstream. Do not let them do this! Refer to these CEOs by name, or as just that. CEOs, corporate execs, etc.

Anyone who thinks this is too much to ask, kindly block me and I will do the same! I have no interest interacting with antisemites, nor those willing to spread their language.

At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!

Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.

How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.

So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.

Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.

What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.

Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.

Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!

Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

I work at a library in Missouri and I just want to make what's going on a little more clear: minors won't need permission every time they want to check out a book, but they do need to have a parent or guardian present when they register for a library card. those that currently have cards without parental permission will need to get their parent/guardian to provide a signature before they can check out any new books at my library, but I believe some others are giving them a bit of time before shutting down access

this also means that if you are a minor in Missouri with a library card your parents don't know about, you may be getting a letter in the mail soon notifying them! if this is a problem you may need to try to intercept it. but you should contact your library if possible (or at least check around their website) to find out what they're doing to accommodate this rule and how it will affect you

also if you want someone to send hate mail to, this rule comes directly from Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. he is running for governor so if you live in Missouri and are able to, please vote so we don't have to deal with that shit

adding on just a bit more information: Fuck Jay Ashcroft he's a bastard and a half Also if any MO residents want to bog down his office a bit you can request a free copy of the Missouri constitution by emailing publications@sos.mo.gov

Proud of you all for getting increasingly hotter as you get deeper into your 20s and 30s and beyond. That’s really cool and brave and so fun.
