Margot Robbie proved she can make even the most casual look runway-ready as she took to the streets during Wednesday’s SAG-AFTRA rally. The Barbie star, 33, was a vision in an oversized white tee, putting her own stylish spin on the protest uniform. With her signature blonde locks flowing freely and chic sunnies shielding her eyes, Margot commanded attention as she proudly held her poster high during the march from Netflix to Paramount Studios.
The Australian beauty was joined by fellow Aussie actress and friend Samara Weaving, who sported a similarly laidback look of green shorts and a white cap. But all eyes were on Margot as she led the pack of protestors through West Hollywood in her effortlessly cool white kicks.
Margot and her fellow actors are currently united with the Writers Guild in the first “double strike” the entertainment industry has seen in over 60 years. The united front is aiming to get more equitable pay and protect workers from being replaced by AI, among other important issues. Read more…
Read some Infinite Jest for more info on New Sincerity. It’s a pretty difficult read, but it’s rewarding. Funny, too.
I thought there is at least someone here who would connect the dots realize that the movie isn’t mainly about feminism, it’s about New Sincerity, and so are many of the comments and posts from here before. A bit disappointed.
Maybe I just like talking to Internet weirdos. I try to be nice here. Usually.
Jokes aren’t as funny if you explain them. It’s not the right time for the punchline yet.
I might end up reading a book again when ebooks get the library treatment for real, but at least I saved a link to it in my bookmark folder for books? So that’s something. Sits there along with Herodotus’ Histories now, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The first one of those has been free to read since I added it, so my first sentence might be a bit bullshit. Or maybe old free books tend to be difficult reads too, and I really could get into reading something. Maybe one of Hank Green’s books.
Is it weird that I get disheartened by the concept “You can read this book for free, but only if we physically send it to your library where you can retrieve it. We legally can’t send you the ebook because that’s not part of the deal. You’d have to get that one from Amazon or something.”?
It feels like I’m in a library-limbo where I’m waiting for reason to catch up to reality.
Maybe I’ll read it eventually, probably not. I’m about to try to go to space with Chris Roberts (new patch, maybe not broken?), then to sleep, and then forget about this whole interchange. Oh and I also had this thought that while I haven’t read any of those books, neither Herodotus nor Plato have spent hours looking at Earth in VR, so that’s a perspective they don’t have. I see the disease that gives us good reason for nihilistic joy in our final centuries. Got em. So yeah I wasn’t gonna include that part, but in the spirit of misunderstood new sincerity I’ll include it. Have fun doing what you’re doing, whoever you are.
