Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Trust my rage

So far, we have $700 even in the fund.

Yay, us! I'm not surprised, but I am impressed.

I love it. They need to get more people.

"Don' be e-scared"

Back thread -- that EW article? Terrific. Noise! May I call you Noise? I'm right there with you on the "collateral" damage to below-the-line people -- and it's not just crew people, it's all the businesses which are pilot fish to the industry. If I feel helpless about this cliff sprint, how must they feel? It makes me sick.

When the “moguls” say that this strike is good for their bottom line -- believe it. I am convinced they wanted this strike. I don’t think they were certain it would start as soon as it did, but I am further convinced they’re delighted we didn’t wait until summer. Corks a' poppin' delighted. I support the Guild’s position. I am mystified by the tactics. I have more to say. I won’t. When my jury service is up, I'll be out there with a sign, too.

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

Are you on a long trial, Tim?

My trials are only beginning.

Oh, that one? At least through the rest of the week, maybe longer.

Can you say what kind of trial it is?

I'm not supposed to talk about it all. So no.

Well, hope it's at least interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was actually really impressed by the people I served on a jury with earlier this year. People were not thrilled to be picked, but they took it really seriously once we were picked.
