Harrumph.
Mostly I was trying to figure out how (or if) Glark was a fandom connection.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought Glark was connected to TwoP in some way. I could be making that up.

What is even happening?
Maybe Glark is a fandom connection (rather than an entertainment connection), because Allyson (presumably) has become acquainted with him through her actions as a fan, and...
Fandom isn't entertainment (except when it is).
(And even then...)
Ah screw it, the whole thing falls apart, doesn't it?
eta...
Jon, Glark is one of the TWoP Heads of Programming (like Sars, Wing, etc.; he's married to Wing).

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
I'm sorry, my head is exploding.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, fuck.
There's little more to say about Wednesday's talks other than that, unfortunately. "This is not heading in the right direction," a mogul quoted his labor exec as saying to him yesterday. Another source told me, "It's stalemated. Nothing's getting achieved."

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Let's remember that it is mostly rumor. I hear rumors too and they are different. People talking in the halls doesn't mean much.

On a lighter note, The Strike, Your Marriage, and You. Very amusing.

This. Also, regardless of how Day Three went, they all came back this morning for Day Four.
Nikki Finke just put up an "ADVISORY: Breaking Talks News" at 10 AM. So there may be some actual news (good or bad) in...oh...say...six hours.
