It would be easier to keep track of the outlets that don't screw over their freelancers, but I guess @vulture.com is the latest one that does.
Jason BaileyWell, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:
Now that it's daylight, does anyone else dislike RAGTIME (1981) for the same reasons I do? I'm sorry I couldn't participate in this discourse at the time, but I was only 7. Reagan had been shot. I was preoccupied.

They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
Tangentially related: I only listen to one podcast, it's the Lonely Island & Seth Meyers one, and I cringe in embarrassment every time I hear (well, skip past) their ads. These are wealthy, employed men. Reading the same ads as every basement podcast schmuck is beneath them. Makes me sad.
Rachel GilmoreVery cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
