SAG-AFTRA Strike, isn't ending. It's doubling down. Who's fighting for representation and rights? That's right. Star Trek. (startrek.website)

Yeah I am a bit biased and chose the Anthony Rapp/Michelle Hurd photo first but look at this!

Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd with Duncan Crabtree-Ireland (chief negotiator for SAG-AFTRA)

I'm sure there are tons more but I'm grabbing them from this Rolling Stone article. Turns out Rapp is even a member on the negotiating committee.

You just gotta love seeing Trek actors sharing the same strength as their characters. Makes me feel all tingly. I hope this strike ends soon and not so we get more Trek sooner but so these amazing people get what they are rightfully owed.

Hell yeah. We'll reach our Federation, one step at a time.

Let's just hope this doesn't roll right into the Bell Riots

I'm just tired of the waiting. Let's get it on already!

I thought the writer's strike had been resolved, but the actors were still being shafted. Have writers gone back to striking in solidarity?

If it's only SAG-AFTRA then I think it's just actors.

Yeah, the WGA strike is done, with 99% of its members approving the new contract.

Once nice Lemmy feature is that unlike certain other sites, it's possible to edit post titles if you want to.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The downside is that you can't read the URL.

Also, every instance assigns its own unique number to every post and comment, so you can't easily move from one instance to another (unless someone from the target instance has commented, then you can use their federated link). We really should have the number defined by the host instance, then every other instance could be /post/number@host_instance.

it is generally possible to find the post on another instance through the search, at least through the default web interface. there is certainly a lot of room for improvement though.
