That and citizen tests give them an easy way to “other” anyone they want. Just like the old poll tests that they used to do that were ambiguously written so that they could selectively pass or fail anyone they wanted

Farting? If he had good policies this wouldn't matter to me. But he doesn't. And he is an anti science nut. So, he will not be getting my vote.

That’s not really scabbing?

Is Ryan Reynolds a scab because he’s still filming Deadpool 3?

But they didn’t, all 3 have operated under the unions own rules here.

chuckleslord ,

No, Maher and Berrymore were told explicitly that if their shows came back during the strike they would be scabbing.

Milan ,

Deadpool 3 is filming using a shooting script written by WGA members. Barrymore and Maher would have started filming with themselves replacing the work their writers would’ve done.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

Except they’re not? Filming was shut down as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike started.

variety.com/…/deadpool-3-stops-production-sag-str…

As for during the writer’s strike, I believe they could still film what was written. They just couldn’t write more or change the script. So I;d guess the idea might have been to film as much as they could, then do rewrites and reshoots after the strikes end.

    Everything I’ve read has suggested Drew Barrymore was going unscripted until the WGA strike was over (i.e. they were fully working within the terms of the strike).

    Do you have a source to suggest otherwise?

    chuckleslord , (edited )

    Unscripted is improv, which is a type of writing and therefore scabbing. Ryan Reynolds wasn’t doing improv on Deadpool 3 once WGA went on strike.

    Reynolds work counted as writing since he’s a writer. Improv isn’t writing usually

    Pretty sure that ‘Improve’ tbe method, does not involve writing… it’s content that you come up with off the top of your head… there is no script

    chuckleslord ,

    movieweb.com/ryan-reynolds-is-not-allowed-to-impr…

    Based on this article, yes and no. A writer improv-ing is the same as writing changes. An actor without a writing credit could still improv. Thanks for verifying

    TruTollTroll ,
    @TruTollTroll@lemmy.world avatar

    Yes and no? Improve is off the top of your head and is usually an acting method or exercise… writers do not improv. the writer may give prompts to have an actor or speaker go off the actors own ideas, but there is no structured writing and ideas coming from the writer going into the content of the improv exercise or method… whose line is it anyways, is a good example… there are prompts for the actors, but all content came from the actor themselves.

    So lets take it back. Strike up some legislation and lets get signatures. Keep calling your senators and tell them you want social safety nets, and to reinstate the child tax credit to covid-era functionality. Don’t stop. Breath down these peoples’ necks every day. Make them fear you will enter their home.

    We should just shortcut it and go straight to entering their homes.

    e_t_ Admin , (edited ) to Politics in Trump adviser Peter Navarro was convicted, really fast, of contempt of Congress

    Woodard’s main defense was to argue the government had not proven that Navarro’s failure to comply with the subpoena was willful, a necessary component for contempt of Congress, rather than a mistake.

    Tell me, please, how failure to comply with a subpoena is anything but willful.

    What could be a more fundamental part of the American Dream than the "tired, poor, huddled masses" trying to give their children a better future through naturalization.

    This is just another Republican nail in the coffin of that dream, killing everything that made others envious of America while they shout more and more shrilly that America is still the best country on the planet.

    TheKingBee ,
    @TheKingBee@lemmy.world avatar

    I disagree I think the Republicans are the modern embodiment of the real American Spirit.

    Founded on genocide and chattel slavery, grown with more genocide and wars of expansion. White hegemony enforced through laws and lynchings. Redlining, supreme Court approved internment camps, so many wars on poor countries filled with brown people that have done literally nothing to us.

    Any progress you feel is a modern affect and not actually reaching the core of who we are as a people…

    STUPIDVIPGUY ,

    Then maybe we need to redefine it.

    BartsBigBugBag ,

    Or maybe we can stop tying our identity to our place of birth.

    They should also pressure producers/sellers on their market to do the same. I have a box of cat water fountain filter things. Comes in like packs of 8 in a cardboard/paperboard box. That's good, easily recyclable. Except the filters are individually plastic wrapped, for no discernable reason.
