John Cusack is tweeting out some of the dirty secrets of Hollywood accounting -- and it's pretty illuminating.

If you’d like to help the WGA writers DIRECTLY, FINANCIALLY, after reading the quotes in Deadline from studio/streamer execs about how they won’t talk to them until at least October, want them to start losing their apartments and homes, and want their kids to have a lousy Christmas:

there’s an option for that HERE on their website near the bottom. It even lets you specify which type of writers you wish to support and it’s tax deductible.

Note: there’s people who like to use Unicode math subscript to add “fonts” to their posts.
I’d like to ask people here to avoid doing that as depending on the screen reader it won’t be read because of missing math context; or it will be read as a string of Unicode identifiers.

Hearing a long string of something like “mathematical lower case cursive letter u mathematical lower case cursive letter w mathematical lower case cursive letter u” for your fancy flavour text is not fun for people who need screen readers due to impaired vision, learning disabilities or who are blind.

One nice thing about rate limiting is that this tweet saved 8 people from looking at twitter for the rest of the day, *and* I made money doing it

Burns: Well, everybody knows, ‘war is hell`

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Um, sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Hello, I introduce myself:

I am a cartoonist and scriptwriter who is looking for a way to express my art independently, without having to depend financially on any corporation.

I haven't gotten it yet.

People were asking about how to brush up their math! I find that leveling up your "math intuition" can be quite comfortably achieved by watching stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtkIWDE36qU

Yes this account is "GamingOnLinux", but it's just a name. This account is for everything I do, not just a feed of news. That includes taking the piss out of current internet events.

Okay, so #FallOutBoy dropped a cover of the #BillyJoel classic "We Didn't Start The Fire" with updated lyrics.

I did not know I needed to hear this. https://youtu.be/2LkVKCWL0U4

i was curious about the origins of the common phrase "Better Living Through Chemistry" and apparently it's a DuPont slogan from the 1930's

I'm tempted to create a playlist that is just songs with years as their titles.
