You know how we warned that making “locking-on” an offence and giving police powers to make arrests on suspicion of it would mean people being arrested just for carrying bike locks and craft supplies, and everyone was like “nah you’re overreacting, the police wouldn’t do that”…

BREAKING: West Wing’s Bradley Whitford says it’s “fucking ridiculous” film and TV writers aren’t paid more as executives rack in millions.
“Last year, eight major Hollywood studio CEOS made over $773,000,000 in annual salary. Meanwhile, many of the workers who write their shows can’t afford rent,” said a graphic he posted.
Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor Studios made $308 million dollars.
The two CEOs of Netflix each made $40 million and $38 million respectively.
“That’s why the Writers Guild of America is ready to strike,” the graphic says.
Thank you Bradley Whitford for speaking out!
Studios must remember there is no industry without writers and they deserve to be able to make a living.
When a union is organized into a cohesive voice, they can make life better for everyone.
Even if you are not a union member, it helps to support those who are!
SOLIDARITY! 💙

Please RT widely ! There are other options @CambsCC please consider them before committing ecocide .
Thank you .
In less than a week, on the 21st March @CambsCC will vote on whether to DESTROY its largest traditional orchard. A HABITAT OF PRINCIPAL IMPORTANCE, a 1000 trees, for a £200m tarmac road for buses. A loss @greatercambs claim can be “lessened to non-significant” in 30 years by “mitigation”, it cannot. Media, shine a light on those who have a vote so that we,
and the generations behind us, who will have to pay for their decision, can bear witness 🌳🚌❌🐝
