I'm watching suits right now... On Netflix.
I'd heard that the Duchess of Sussex used to be an actress, but I'd never seen her in anything. It was a little strange at first to see her playing a paralegal.
For me it was a little strange seeing an unknown actress playing a paralegal become some popular public figure in the UK.
You mean c-tier acres Meghan Markle?
Me too, as I type this. Getting to the end of season 3 for the first time!
Then you're a part of the problem. Supporting billionaire corporations making stockholders richer.
You should always care when labor goes against the plutocrats. And you should support it. That you don't like the quality of the results is a product of said plutocrats putting chains on them.
Here's a thread that puts it well:
Of course. It's all about the bottom dollar. No gives two shits about how good something is.
Personally I have a music background, I love music and am a capable guitar player, I've studied theory and listened to everything (just about) under the sun. From bluegrass to polka. I like it all.
So when I hear the studio release of paparazzi by Lady Gaga I hear mediocre cookie cutter albeit will produced music. However I once saw a YouTube video of Lady Gaga performing the song on piano live and it was absolutely amazing she is a true musician. But that's not what sells the studio version of the song is what sells. Nobody's going to buy Lady Gaga playing the piano while singing. At least not at that point in her career.
So if that version of paparazzi sells let's make 9,000 other paparazzi's and sell them. That's what makes money and everybody else can go to screw themselves.
I've literally only known about the strike bc it keeps getting mentioned on here. There's just so many options of entertainment.
