Actually applied to a storyboard job today. Sent my resume into the Terry Gilliam's Brazil-like bureaucratic void and hoping for the best.

"The primary reason is that Hollywood is making less stuff." THIS. I've seen so many people lazily (xenophobically) claim 'outsource is stealing all the work', but MOST countries are in the same boat rn. Never let the suits skimming more and more off the top convince you a fellow worker is to blame.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

For some inexplicable reason, this brilliant 1938 anti-Appeasement cartoon by the great David Low came to mind when I looked at the list of the Mega-Powerful / Hyper-Rich at yesterday’s Windsor Castle nosh up for our superhuman masters.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · 24d

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Maya vs. Evies

concept art depicting a climactic battle in the skies. Maya rides on her gravboard, pursued by the Empty Vessel swarm, using debris from the conflict as a makeshift sword and shield to defend herself. she swerves to dodge an allied resistance fighter, flames bursting from its damaged wing as it careens through the air.

If you run a comic or halloween focused instagram or tiktok I'd really love to get in touch about featuring my books!

(I'm open written interviews as well, but my time is a little too limited for recording podcasts or doing talks at this point, but it doesnt hurt to ask)

"universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses" -- hmmm interesting

demotivational speaker. 💕 @heysita.bsky.social · Sep 9

Marvel is leaving Atlanta and heading to the UK, citing rising costs.

Labor costs are less expensive in the U.K., and universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses.

This move alone could cost Atlanta up to 20,000 jobs.

Marvel Studios is moving production from Georgia to the U.K., a shift that highlights rising costs in the U.S. film industry.

Seriously, like bro there are military troops in Washington DC RIGHT NOW cracking down on “crime“ that doesn’t even fucking exist. They don’t need an excuse, they will do it ANYWAY.

Darryl Mott 💀 @gamerstavernshow.com · Sep 10

As someone with 20 years reporting on right wing and fascist movements, you should goddamn know well that it doesn't matter what anyone says or does, they're going to use this as an excuse for authoritarian crackdowns with little to no relevance to the actual crime.

Jeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · Sep 10

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
