re: the wrap, what's an industry site that's worth reading in ur opinion?

hahaha none of them, unless you go into it knowing what you're getting is mostly propaganda, making it more an anthropological study and less a quest for good journalism. (and i should say, they are generally good about straight-up factual breaking news like casting announcements, writing and directing announcements, and so forth, so it's a good resource if you're in the industry and want to stay up-to-date about what's going on with films/shows. but any opinion about the strikes or unions from the trades is gonna be dead wrong 80% of the time and confusingly mixed-up the other 20%.)

some common sites, summed up:

the wrap: sharon waxman is a hack and a propagandist for the studios FIRST and a journalist dead last. some of the most egregious anti-union spin these months has been from her.

matt belloni at puck: obnoxiously anti-union in the guise of just being a fair, balanced, nice guy! the other people at puck seem fairly cool but matt is the entertainment guy and he's so so so bad and annoying it kinda ruins the whole publication (and it's paid-only, so no real help to most people.)

deadline hollywood: nearly as malicious as sharon waxman at the wrap, but much more dumb and less coherent, so the propaganda just never works as well?? gotta get on that, folks!

the hollywood reporter: solid mix of good and bad stuff depending on the journalist you get. i would say it's slightly more reputable than the wrap/deadline but geez the bar is low.

variety.com: they fucking love AI and i see their editorial board jacking off about AI so much i've pretty much stopped going on the site. waste of time.

indiewire: more balanced & reputable than the others, but is also somewhat less focused on being a "trade" like the others and mostly wants to talk about indie films. i've liked some of what they did about the strikes, but they're also annoying at times like this snarky headline ("Well, There Goes Halloween: SAG-AFTRA Bans Most Movie and TV-Centric Costumes for Actors" and similar) so like... grain of salt. many grains of salt.

the best way to get SAG-AFTRA and WGA updates has always been their websites (SAG-AFTRA, WGA) or, deeply unfortunately, their Twitter accounts (SAG-AFTRA, WGA). also unfortunately the accounts of individual members on their respective negotiating committees or volunteering as strike captains are gold—many have said they're gonna retire their Twitters after the strikes end, lol, but it's an invaluable real-time resource right now.

members are often able to rebut false info from the trades super quickly, and they have up-to-date, informed perspectives because they're literally the boots on the ground of the strikes! i recommend dual wga-sag-aftra member adam conover (sure he's annoying but he's GOOD AT HIS JOB), wga president david a. goodman, the wire writer/creator david simon, leverage and librarians showrunner john rogers, wga's chief negotiator ellen stutzman, and beloved star trek actress and sag-aftra member jeri ryan to start with—and find more wga/sag-aftra members through following them!

@harompe lmao yes exactly. Non-profits* should cease all ordinary operations because right now it would be gauche and immoral to do the exact same thing they do every year, which is fundraise and budget so as to continue existing:

These people are so fucking stupid.

*Just kidding. They only care about AO3 because they operate under the delusion that it hosts “child porn,” AKA teenagers writing horny RPF about other teenagers.

I couldn't help but make a fuller playlist here

[gallifreyburning]

gallifrey i mean this in the nicest possible way but i don't think the show makers expect anyone watching doctor who to recognize a random basement from 15 years ago lmao! like they legit had the same actors playing different characters i dont think they are giving their all to location scouting 😅

Oh I know lmao, I don't think they're being that deliberate with things. The charm of this show is the fact that it gives a very stubborn, very persistent middle finger at continuity.

But that scene REALLY does look like the Torchwood basement, and I do love me a good RTD-related serotonin hit.

hello mx kiran, may I ask what episode the cucumber water scene is from? 👀

your manners are impeccable 🤌🏽 and it is from 12x07 rock never dies, an episode that had a lot more shirtless rick springfield than I ever signed up for but dean does wear the hell out of that little leather jacket

[theladyragnell]

top 5 favourite drink?

1. Water, honestly! 95% of the time, if you give me the choice, that’s what I pick!

2. Lemonade, especially in the hotter parts of summer.

3. Tea, specifically hot black tea (I am very Basic, just give me a cup of English Breakfast and I am happy).

4. Orange juice, I think.

5. Pineapple juice, perhaps?
