Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

NEW: SpaceX is set to have the largest IPO in history, at a $1.75 trillion valuation.
But it's not what it seems.
Musk got Nasdaq to change the rules in his favor, forcing tens of millions to buy in at a price nearly double what analysts say it’s actually worth.
Now Elon Musk is using your retirement savings to become the world’s first trillionaire.

You are not class conscious if you have an issue with the Obsession art director wanting more money for their labor because the film exploded in income

It’s funny how “Obsession” sparked conversations around women being taken advantage of, and now a woman who worked on the movie is being told to shut up for feeling exploited by the studio system profiting off of work she did (because it’s industry standard to exploit).

"That is just how Hollywood works" is some bullshit btw. There is always a need to point out real flaws in a corrupt system. Things can change and it has to be demanded. Imagine choosing to defend a movie studio and a corrupt system over a worker. Embarrassing.

People telling the art director from Obsession “too bad, that’s what you signed up for” instead of collectively encouraging that once small budget films reach a certain number all cast and crew receive a bonus, is why we’ll never be free.

This is why how a cast and crew are treated on set will always matter more to me than box office earnings, cause why should I care that the studio, distributor, and cinema owners are that much richer, while the production crew is broke and sick from over work and exploitation?

Happy May the 4th! As always, it's important to remember what Star Wars has always been about- standing up against fascism. That is the core of nearly every SW story. And while the struggle against evil feels relevant to today, the victory against that evil can be just as real.
If Iran does surrender, Trump has threatened to drop physical copies of “Melanie” the biggest bombs in the US arsenal.

yes, exactly. which is why it’s so fucking important in this moment that we make it EXTREMELY clear that tics are real, involuntary, and absolutely not something you can choose to suppress. if we set the precedent that tics are on purpose, even more disabled people will die.
