It's not "x.com" - it's Xitter.com - that's pronounced "Shitter." And a post on Xitter is a Xit - I'll leave it up to you how to pronounce that. Finally, that @#$#@#@@#!!! place got the name it always deserved.

While ACTRA (The Canadian Actor's guild) was locked out by commercial agencies, Drew Barrymore was shooting a commercial in Canada. So she has a track record of being a scab.

Aren’t all these shows not under the basic agreement? Correct me if im wrong but they’re primarily under something akin to FLTTA? Similar to the agreements sportscasters/newscasters/anchors/weatherpeople/etc (and anyone who works in writing dept for any of the above as well) so they’re not actually breaking union laws, unless they bring in writers who are hired under the basic agreement. Reminds me of 08 when colbert/stewart/maher/leno/conan all went back on air approx 60 days (some even less iirc) into the strike - without staff that were hired under the basic agreement and all shows had waivers.

What’s the deal with Jeopardy! Coming back today for its 40th season with questions and answers recycled from previous seasons, but that scab, Ken Jennings, hosting?

He claims he’s a member of SAG-AFTRA.
