WGA and SAG-AFTRA 2023 Strike

Ok. Joined at the $5 level. I consider it a donation to the newsletter, so if you don’t do anything on the Patreon, that’s cool.

IMHO if there is one franchise that I wish would go away, it’s Dancing With The Stars.

I don’t watch any of those competition reality shows, but at least DWTS doesn’t turn bullying into a spectator sport, like… anything with Simon Cowell.

I have commitment issues, due to wage fluctuations. But let me know if you get a Ko-Fi at some point. :beers:

If it does some good while it exists, I’m fine with it for now.

Well, both of them have made gleefully repugnant behavior and chronic smugness their main brand, so… :person_shrugging:

And yet actors and writers are being told “oh no, we would never do anything without your permission” :roll_eyes:

I hope he gets some sort of resolution, but it’s stories like this that are going to pound home the reality to those wondering why SAG and the WGA are refusing to back down.

I do admit that if I could make my phone sound like Stephen Fry, I’d pay a premium for it. I already have Siri on British man so it sounds like a butler.

Anybody ever get the Mr. T GPS voice? Always sorta wanted that.

A friend of mine did. It was great.

I switched to the female British voice when they changed how default Siri spoke. The voice I want for my computers is Majel Barret Roddenberry.

Oh I’d love Majel too! I did Irish Female for a while, because it sounded like she was scolding me and I found that amusing.

I want Alexa to sound like Diana Rigg.
