Happy MLK day

Unfortunately I don't have this holiday off, and I was hoping to, after working a lot of holiday hours lately. I'm not totally well, either, having a wretched sore throat and not sleeping well.

Hope today will be better. It's been a weird and depressing weekend in news. I heard that Mark Wahlberg is donating $1.5 million to Time's Up to make amends. Deadline reported that the talent agency is also donating $500,000, but it all strikes me as PR damage control after they were found out, instead of standing up months ago when it counted. How about you not be shitty agents in the first place? How about you tell fucking Wahlberg "everybody else is doing the reshoots for scale, so you should too"? How about you not have standard operating procedures of, "we should screw over the woman and make sure he's not just making 20% more but fucking 1,500 times more"? Fuck you bastards. Change your business practices, and you can change Hollywood. Also, how does Ridley Scott escape any blame, when he's the one who claimed that everyone worked for free? Shithead.
