We are only hearing about the A-listers. I am sure there are character actors and indie directors who have valuable talents that are also asking their agents to negotiate very carefully with Disney. Could Disney move on and try to find people who sign contracts as many of us sign off on software updates (I suspect that a certain computer maker with a certain fruit icon owns my home, my car and all my internal organs). Sure there are many unemployed actors out there, however it will diminish Disney creatively and more importantly financially if they start casting and employing talent that will not add to a particular IP.

Being a pessimist circa November, 2016 I feel that too many of this group WILL be seen in court as an attorney. Disbarment is usually rare (although Tom Girardi and Rudy Giuliani would probably beg to differ).
QUESTION TO THE EAGLE: Can't these Krakens simply issue appeal after appeal until they are basically too old to practice law anyway?

ans. to her comment to play "nice" in the comment section:
The best way I found to "control" my children was to be consistent, logical and unemotional in times of stress. The few times that I exploded (one involved my 9 year old son dropping my hand and running across a street) resulted in my point being completely successful using only verbal input. Everyone needs to stop screaming, virtually or actually as it has evolved into a mindless static which informs no one and changes no minds.
comment section post: This is really frightening, not just for women, but for doctors, healthcare and even the legal system in Texas. What is even worse, is that some states are considering similar laws:

As Doctor Jones has said here, all we can do is monitor the (U.S.) state laws and lawmakers in the state in which we are registered to vote. We need to be informed, educated and logical. As I type that, to be absolutely honest, all I can do is sigh.

The somewhat sad (although I do admit to having a touch of schadenfreude) thing is, Rudy Giuliani may not have been altered during that recent 9/11 speech. This may be the "real" Rudy Giuliani. Whether this version of Giuliani is due to substance abuse, dementia or just an old clueless rich white guy sense of privilege, he is rapidly approaching an unfortunate closure to what is left of his legacy.

I laughed through most of the Thor episode. Admittedly not the most evocative, intelligent episode, but sometimes you just have to throw that theater candy into your popcorn, consume it and forget about consequences. As a series, I am enjoying WHAT IF, and looking forward to the final 2 episodes of this season. BTW the series mvp is Jeffrey Wright as "The Watcher".

I agree that Laundrie had the legal right to not speak to the police. Unfortunately the Wyoming and Florida police departments made multiple mistakes which made the situation worse. For the Wyoming police, their mistake was primarily one of staffing. During a police stop for a well-being check there should have been immediate access to a social worker/therapist to evaluate the situation. Most patrol officers are not educated sufficiently to analyze domestic violence. Instructing two people who were observed in an altercation/argument to use judgement and stay apart for one evening was not realistic. The Florida police behavior was more problematic in that they basically "lost" their person of interest who had in the very recent past, showed a proclivity for running.

Judging by the amount of occupations Richard Pusey has been able to learn, he has intellect but unfortunately he has no self-control. Without a different kind of intervention (maybe a long term assisted living situation) he will be in and out of jail for the remainder of his life. His failure to be a productive member of society is only a small part of society's greater problems with mental health treatment and rehabilitation methods.
Poster to Rachel Maksy's community page (RE: The Move) - uploaded to You Tube 09/23/2021
I so feel the cleaning pain. It is amazing how stacked storage tubs in the living room, dust bunnies in the dinning room and the occasional vomited fur-ball in the hallway can put off prospective buyers. This is not shade on the soon to be former Maksy Manor, this comes from my past, present and sadly future. I feel that when looking for their new home some people simply do not have the vision that is necessary to see what could be instead of what is.
