The. Deal. Is. So. Good.
Couldn't get the link to the side-by-side of the WGA offer, the AMPTP counter offer from May, and the final deal, because it's a document to download and too many pictures to take for this post that probably wouldn't be legible, but it's in this tweet (click the link below the tweet to go to said tweet):

Don't forget,the fight isn't over for SAG-AFTRA and next year, contracts are up again for IATSE, including The Animation Guild.
If you're a fan of movies, tv, and animation, keep helping the guilds fight the good fight!
Also, please support the other unions that are out their now fighting their own fights including Amazon workers, Local 11 in LA, and Flight Attendants!
And of course, big thanks to strike hero Drew Carey for paying for probably THOUSANDS of meals for striking writers in LA these past five months.
Congratulations WGA and Pre-WGA for your amazing wins with this contract!

Sean Astin has been out on the picket lines daily outside Paramount, Netflix, Disney Studios, Amazon, etc, explaining the issues as he sees them.

i miss "filler" episodes
i miss when television seasons were longer
i miss seeing character development that made their arcs make sense
i miss shows flowing at a natural pace instead of constantly being bombarded with high stakes conflicts
i miss seeing my fave characters exist in situations that aren't essential to the plot
i miss when ceos didn't cut the amount of episodes in half to maximize profit and minimize how much they have to pay to the people (actors, writers, editors, vfx, crew, hair & makeup artists, costumers and many more) who's blood sweat and tears make them rich

A friendly reminder: If you are in any way annoyed or upset that the shows you're excited for have had their production halted by the strikes, the ONLY people who deserve your anger are the CEOs and studio executives who forced the workers' hands. These people had no choice but to strike if they want to survive. Getting paid literal pennies in some cases (I have seen residuals as low as a single cent) and being threatened with replacement by an AI that runs on theft and only serves to make assholes a quick buck with bad, mashed-up stolen content while screwing you out of your job does not leave you with a lot of options.
DO NOT blame striking workers for the fact that production of new media is being halted. DO blame the greedy cartoon-villain-ass motherfuckers who essentially forced them to strike.

Talks collapsed on Wednesday night between studios and SAG-AFTRA following the guild’s revenue share proposal that would cost the companies less than 57¢ per subscriber annually. The studios balked exclaiming that SAG-AFTRA’s ask was an “untenable economic burden” which would cost them more than $2.4 billion over the course of a new three-year contract or more than $800 million per year. On Thursday, Sarandos at Bloomberg’s Screentime event called the SAG-AFTRA proposal a “levy on subscribers on top of [other] areas” as well as a “bridge too far”. Following Wednesday talks, SAG-AFTRA said the studios “intentionally misrepresented to the press the cost of the above proposal – overstating it by 60%. They have done the same with A.I., claiming to protect performer consent, but 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).”
SAG-AFTRA Chief Negotiator and National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland is very happy with Taylor Swift and not so happy with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.
Just as they did with WGA, AMPTP walked into a negotiation, delivered a lecture, and stormed out like spoiled children. Then they lied about it.
SAG-AFTRA is ready and willing to negotiate and make a deal. It is the billionaires who own the studios and streamers who refuse.

[Image ID: A tweet thread by WGA Strike Captain Kylie Sparks (@/KylieSparks) that says in full:
A reminder SAG has not called for a consumer boycott. Please keep watching tv and films-if anything, this helps PROVE the studios need us-AI doesn’t have the soul or emotion real people do.
Also this helps proves marginalized stories and actors are sorely needed in our industry.
I repeat, this erodes our bargaining power and this is something WE HAVE NOT ASKED FOR. WE HAVE NOT DEMANDED A CONSUMER BOYCOTT. Please enjoy your tv and movies! Get that to watch pile watched!
Okay I am closing this because folks are not listening.
SAG has not asked for a consumer boycott. You’ll know if this changes. /End ID]
I admit I messed up earlier because I was too trusting of people that I thought would have the right knowledge and think correctly about this. I was wrong. They weren't thinking of the consequences.
Please boost this and do NOT cancel you subscriptions!
I know it's gross to keep paying these fuckers, but we need to wait for SAG and WGA leadership's say so.

with the wga strike recently coming to an end, i give my support and respect to the writers that protested and held out for the 5 long months.
but i do want everyone to still be aware that sagaftra IS still striking and has yet to receive a good deal, so dont forget to continue giving them full support as they continue. hopefully amptp will fall through for actors soon, but we still have to be prepared in case they continue being stubborn.
