Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

An endemic problem with American capitalism is how the vast majority of large investors and C-suite managers are incapable of envisioning any business model other than "I have an unregulated monopoly with low labor costs." When these plans fail, they have no idea what to do but cut labor costs more.
Gotta read btwn the lines but this story hints at an often overlooked issue: the new entertainment landscape wasn't inevitable. Studios chose to create it because Wall St told them it would be easy $. Now they say they can't afford to pay writers & actors more. Bitch you fucked up, you take the hit
In Hollywood, the Strikes Are Just Part of the Problem
The entertainment industry is trying to figure out the economics of streaming. It’s also facing angst over a tech-powered future and fighting to stay culturally dominant.

the most interesting part of the story so far imo is how much corruption at the Court has been exposed with a relatively small amount of effort
i said this on slate’s amicus podcast but i really think we are only scratching the surface of the entanglement between certain members of the court and assorted billionaires and influence peddlers
NEW NYT story on another club of billionaires Clarence Thomas was welcomed into: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/09/us/clarence-thomas-horatio-alger-association.html
