She'd look even cuter with a cranky peapod.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The strike is on. It's going to be a weird winter.
Oddly, I want a picture of Tim and Kristen picketing with their blank signs.

The strike fascinates me. I just wish I wasn't being fascinated at anyone's expense.
Does the other side (and who are they?) explain why writers should continue to be compensated so differently?

The article linked somewhere here stated that (I paraphrase) "with the fluctuation of the new technologies that can distribute the merchandise that may simply be passing trends" there wasn't a point in adjusting the percentage the writers get. Which sounds like bull. I haven't found any other reasons as of yet.

The claim is that there isn't any revenue from new media (iTunes and the like). So the puzzling thing is, if there isn't any revenue, and the writers are asking for 2.5% of any revenue from new media...then 2.5% of nothing is nothing...so why deny them?
