Holy SHIT. I just finished reading a related article, and y’all, this was so corrupt OTHER SFPD COPS ARE STANDING WITH THE KIDS.
Like basically their take is “yeah, some kids were being unruly. Y’all handled it ENTIRELY the wrong way and there is zero reason this should have happened.” There was an official meeting (I think like a monthly town hall kind of thing? I forgot to take note when I read it) and the cop who’s in charge of internal conduct investigation was there and he. Was. PISSED. And inviting parents and teens involved to give their testimony on the specifics of the rights violations they experienced so he could follow up and make full reports.
Like you KNOW shit’s fucked when even other police are looking at the police chief and saying “what the fuck is wrong with you?”
how do you guys feel about going to the films during the strike? i’ve seen lots of mixed opinions and i’m kinda lost🫠
we know the purpose of the strike is mainly to to hit the studios in the pocket with future projects until they give the writers, crew and actors a decent living wage. however, those projects that are currently coming out had all been finished way before the strike so i’m not sure how to go on about these.
also, i’m not sure residuals are collected for the “theatrical” part of it, since i’d assume that’s the pay they initially get.
There is no call from the WGA or SAG-AFTRA for a consumer boycott. Go to theaters!

[ID: tweet from Adam Conover @/adamconover that says, "Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now. If you want to support the strike, we're asking folks to: 1) Boost our message on social media 2) Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports affected workers" and then a link to the Entertainment Community Fund.
This is in reply to a tweet from Doxmonster @/Zer0Doxy asking, "@/adamconover genuine question: I'm having a hard time morally resolving whether I should skip seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer this week re: SAG/AFTRA solidarity. Thoughts?" end id]
The purpose of the strike is to hit the studios in the pocket, yes, but that will be done through drying up the content pipeline—meaning no new Hollywood shows/movies once they run out of stuff they filmed already.
