Right but: POV is a reference to videos that are in first-person and people still write the jokes in the syntax suggesting it is 1st person. POV doesn't refer to the abstract concept of points of view it's a specific context

It’s so funny how the solution to theaters problems is just hire artists and pay them a living wage and they’re just like “we hear you, we’ve just fired everybody and the senior staff is doing a diversity summit in the Hamptons”

that the moderate position is more costly and more difficult to achieve, maybe even impossible is basically the problem with every moderate solution
New: The Dept. of Education "lacks the data" to automatically cancel student debt based on income. They literally don't have individual income information for most of the people with federal student loans.
Full cancelation is just the simplest answer.

I don’t think the issue is that artists don’t realize or want opportunities outside of Broadway/Off-Broadway/regional, i think it’s just the only way to make money as a theatre artist at this point. It’s a structural problem and a capitalism problem

Isn’t it bad that even in Computer Science and Engineering which I assume are hirable, lucrative, “useful” STEM degrees compared to arts and humanities the regret is still like 35-45% lmao
Analysis: Nearly 2 in 5 American college graduates have major regrets.
That is, they regret their major.
Almost half of humanities and arts majors regret their choice — and enrollment in those disciplines is shrinking rapidly.

Full support to striking actors. This cannot be allowed to happen
The major studios are refusing to grant actors protection against AI and are “continuing to demand ‘consent’ on the first day of employment for use of a performer’s digital replica for an entire cinematic universe (or any franchise project).”

Art is work. You should be able to have your needs met being an artist and only an artist.
What's your favorite "radical" opinion as an arts worker that isn't actually radical?
