Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.

It's an article on a fashion site. And it does inform the average person all they really need to know about the strike in two sentences.

If anything, they wrote the article specifically to draw attention to the strike. She's wearing an oversized T-shirt ffs.

I mean, a bunch of us responded so it seems like not the worst choice...

Probably says more about us than the writers.

The linked article is from a fashion blog soooooooooooo...

You're a vision in a t-shirt! Your sunnies are so chic! What a stylish spin on... appropriate clothes for a warm sunny day. How do you do it!?

@MargotRobbie - B-b-but "you" have.... "signature blonde locks", unlike anyone else in Hollywood.

I think @Mantis_Toboggan is right, this has to have been written by an AI.

Well, I think you're doing a good job modding the android instance.

After checking your account I'm thoroughly confused. Either this is a novelty account that takes itself really, really seriously, or you're the actual actress, but that just doesn't compute.

I came to this thread to see if you were here. ;-)

Reminder that you can buy tshirts from union groups to help support their members. Some of them have kickass art designs. I have three, so far. Starbucks, Rail, and Trucks. UPS placard in the window, too.

There hasn't been a moment like this in our lifetimes (unless you are literally 100yo). This is super exciting. Support unions on strike. Whether that's buying a shirt, honking your horn, displaying a placard, standing or marching with them, honking your horn, donating money or food or coffee or water, etc. There's a power dynamic shift taking place. Let's see it through!

I had it put into perspective by a friend who has been impacted by streaming (lack of) residuals. They were seeing something like 98% reduction in income from a project, despite wider reach. Absolutely crazy how much you folks are being robbed. And that's before use of AI/ML to try to replace people with plagiarized pieces of past works.

I supported the strikes before but the understanding of the magnitude of impact that is already being felt is shocking and makes me support it doubly so. Keep rocking and fighting for your rights and those of your fellow workers!

Hey, I'm betting on Lemmy getting big and be the first one to get in, so I can do like a podcast or something for my backup plan.

It'll all work out. Hopefully.

Sag strike. So hot right now.

I've noticed that there's very little real news on this community lol

The actors guild is also on strike. So she's less showing solidarity and more actually on strike.

Generally unions have rules for picketing while in strike, specifically, how much time members are expected to spend picketing. It varies from Union to Union, it could be as little as 4 hours a week, it could be a much as 8 hours a day, and you're typically paid to picket.

I mean she's Margot Robbie. There are people taking pictures of her anywhere.

Her agent makes money when she gets roles. And she gets roles when the Hollywood elites give them to her. Joining a strike will not endear Robbie to them. So no, this is not her agent’s wet dream at all.
