Professional costumer here:
It’s either a size too small because they think it makes them look ripped and not “fat man in a little jacket” OR its shoulders slouching down because they bought the jacket that fits their beer bellies.

Does ICE have bullets in their guns? 🤔

I mean I saw the video of the dude dropping his clip— wouldn’t he notice the weight difference?

EXCEPT, they would cancel a show after 3 seasons and spin-off a character for a “new” show, and reset the cheap rates.
This kind of poison just gets in the corporate bloodstream and it’s never cured

Wanna know something else gross abt Disney Co? They had a side letter agreement that they could get a cheaper IATSE contract for the first 3 seasons of a show- season 4 would bring normal fourth season rates

This. Today is a great day to watch a YouTube filmmaker, or cruise Etsy, read a webcomic, or subscribe to a Patreon. Spending $5 on a sticker or hitting subscribe can make the world of difference to an indie artist.

Jeremy Ghost Shipp @jeremycshipp.bsky.social · 24d

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

Oh, wait— I’m on Bluesky, I don’t have to embed my message about free speech in an innocuous post!
Anyway, fuck conservatism, fuck Sinclair media, and fight on Kimmel!

Hey kids— I’ve read too many books on Weimar Berlin to not say stock your pantry, talk to your community, make plans. I’m not saying build a bunker, but have extra pet food on hand.
Don’t hesitate to use whimsey to confuse the enemy.
And stay safe-law enforcement are not our friends.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
