I am making a #fantheory that Ralph Fiennes' character in The Menu, Chef Slowik, listens to #ChappellRoan. Slowik's hype song he wakes up to in the morning is My Kink is Karma.

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

I just realized that there was a reference/homage to #KungFuHustle in #ForgottenIsland! Maybe it was a coincidence, but in Kung Fu Hustle the old man peddles handbooks on greatness, and Jo carries the notecards to wait for applause, which then is called back to at the end! I'm excited to rewatch it!

Cloudy in Kyiv today. I was editing more photos from the exhibition. 🇺🇦 Yevhen Leshchenko with his paradise art. Ukrainian art is still new to much of the world. But slowly, it is being discovered.

#fantheory #spoilers #forgottenisland #twistytwist Perhaps this was found already, but I just saw the trailer for Forgotten Island, which looks great! I wonder if the "villain" is actually Calypso past their breaking point and the world contorted them into their current form. I want to go see it!

#spoilers #theodysseyfilm #nolan #sirens #film Spoilers abound! Okay, the Sirens of the Odyssey movie are akin to the Lovecraftian creatures from Bloodborne; They deal Psychic Damage > Madness within range, their "song" has terrifying range, which is why Odysseus nigh immediately goes mad.

The TV writing cup runneth over in the West. Three shows have intelligent, subtly infused, representations of Eastern mindfulness/wisdom. I was concerned after Supergirl, but wow after watching the opening to Lanterns I think DC is fine. Nobody bats 1000, not even Michael Jordan.

#spoilers I just saw all 3 in the Before Trilogy for the first time and I love how it bookends with fights. The first you don't see the "conclusion" of, and in Before Midnight we get a glimmer of hope with its aftermath. The modern adaptation of pushing a camel through the eye of a needle, 1/2

So, Wicked: For Good was not great. The costuming, set designs, and CG were flawless. But, every subplot had at most three scenes, and this movie was overstuffed with them removing all the weight the previous movie had. Nothing had a chance to breathe. The sister blaming Elphaba immediately after

Just finished the first season of True Detective. Phenomenal. There's a through-line that parallels an episode in The Orville that I have in my backlog that I edit from time to time. I'm being vague because I think it's super interesting media meta commentary that I haven't seen before. What a show!

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

FROM NOW UNTIL FEBRUARY 13TH IGN CREATORS GUILD IS GOING TO... DO OUR JOB!

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IGN MANAGEMENT HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH LAYING OFF OUR COWORKERS OVER AND OVER. MEANWHILE, MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY IN NO SMALL PART DUE TO BUYOUTS, OVERWORK, AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED, EACH TIME, THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO BACKFILL MANY ESSENTIAL ROLES, CLAIMING WE'RE ON A HIRING FREEZE, IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET, OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO LESS WORK THIS TIME.

AS A RESULT, IGNCG MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ON MORE OF THEIR FORMER COLLEAGUES' WORKLOADS. MANY OF US NOW WORK LONGER HOURS THAN WE USED TO. A LOT OF US RARELY TAKE LUNCH BREAKS. SOME OF US DO NOT TAKE ADEQUATE TIME OFF DUE TO THERE BEING NO ONE TO PICK UP THE SLACK. OTHERS OF US ARE STUCK DOING WORK WE WERE NEVER HIRED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
UP TO THIS POINT, WE'VE ALL ACCEPTED THIS AS NORMAL, BECAUSE WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IGN AND THE WORK WE DO. BUT WITH SO MANY OF US STRUGGLING MORE AND MORE AS EACH NEW WAVE OF OUR COWORKERS ARE DEPRIVED OF A LIVELIHOOD, THIS CYCLE CAN'T CONTINUE. MANAGEMENT IS UNWILLING TO STOP IT, SO IT FALLS TO US.
WITH THE LAYOFFS OF EIGHT OF OUR COWORKERS, IGNCG HAS NEGOTIATED A SIX-MONTH RECALL LIST. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IF IGN WANTS TO FILL ANY OF THOSE ELIMINATED ROLES AGAIN, THEY MUST REHIRE OUR LAID-OFF COLLEAGUES. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK IF THEY WANT THEM, AND IF NOT, WE WANT THOSE ROLES BACKFILLED TO EASE THE BURDEN ON THE REST OF US.
SO STARTING TODAY, LENCE MEMBERS ARE COMMITTING TO DO OUR JOBS. NO MORE, NO LESS. WELL SHOW UP TO WORK ON TIME AND LEAVE ON TIME. WE'RE TAKING ALL OF OUR LUNCH TIME, EVERY DAY.
IF WE WORK LATE, WE WILL FIRMLY ASK FOR OUR RIGHTFULLY EARNED COMP TIME. AND IF IGN WANTS OUR LAID-OFF COWORKERS' WORK TO GET DONE, THEY'LL HAVE TO REHIRE THEM TO DO IT INSTEAD OF FOISTING IT UPON US.
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IGNCG IN ALL THIS?
SHARE THIS POST, AND TELL IGN MANAGEMENT THAT Y…

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
