MAJOR UPDATE ON THE WGA STRIKE
Just discovered the list feature on letterboxed
the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me
"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers
"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers
"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS
Given how more and more games are presented like movies now, that makes sense
YESSSSSSSS
edit: please rb this version! it has more info about the strike, which unfortunately isnt a gamedev one, but is important nonetheless. and if the gamedevs go on strike please @ me so i can meme about it!
This is the most recent reason that I hate David Zaslav’s business practices, but it just might be the last straw
Pirate all your favorite shows, movies, and games while you still have the chance.
Whoohoo!
[Image ID: a tweet from Animation Guild Writers (@TAGwriters) from July 19th, 2023 that reads:
Awesome news! Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network production workers have organized to join TAG! Welcome to these heroes! Let’s celebrate! #ProductionStrong @animationguild
A long with it is an animated picture with a pink IATSE shield up in the left hand corner, a yellow spring in the top right corner, and it read PRO STRONG. There are several arms of animated characters raised with a fist. Just the arms. Each one is from a recognizable character, including Jake the Dog and I believe Jonny Bravo. Other people might be able to identify the other ones.

TAG's contract is up in 2024. If you're showing up for the WGA strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike, please remember to show up for them too. They're a tiny guild, they'll probably be striking, and they'll need all the help they can get!
I hope all Big Movie Studio Executives lose their thumbs in a brutal fridge accident
Update from the WGA on negotiations
I’ve never known such a lovely day as this
Maybe the war is finally over 🐙
They’re inching closer to towards a compromise guyyyssss
Why don’t they just pay their writers they have the money and are deliberately not paying them for no reason
Any advice for someone about to enroll in an art school designed to help students make connections to get jobs in the entertainment industry?
For more information and to support the WGA please:
Follow their official social media on all platforms and only trust statements from the union itself, and articles they promote (be wary of other articles).
Read up on the issues being fought for (there are articles supported by the union in their linktree)
Be vocal in your support and inform others in your communities.
Stop using ChatGPT and other AI tools, even for fun. (Not just for the duration of the strike. Stop doing it, period. Encourage friends in fandoms to stop. Make rules against it in your Discords. Stand up.)
Go to the picket lines if you live nearby.
Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund which supports non-WGA production workers whose income will be affected by the strike.
I'm dying at this. They would absolutely try to kill him.
this came to me in a dream
"oh but your favorite shows are going to be delayed by the strikes" my favorite shows consistently get cancelled after 2 excellent seasons bc of the exploitive corporate greed that these strikes are fighting against
LET'S GOOOOOOO!
Big Labor News, the WGA won on nearly all fronts.
