While The Animation Guild has been unionizing animation studios outside of L.A. County since 2022, the Powerhouse Animation Studios drive is Tag’s first in a so-called “right-to-work” state, according to the union. (Texas has a right-to-work law in effect, which prohibit union-security agreements that require employees in a bargaining unit to join a union and/or pay union dues.) The unionization effort is the guild’s third outside of L.A. County, with its two previous efforts taking...

The day after Russia started dropping missiles on Ukraine, pastor Greg Laurie took to Facebook with a message for his flock. To much of the world, current events may look like the unhinged machinations of a megalomaniacal authoritarian intent on worldwide disruption, but to Christians of a certain ilk, Laurie argued that the war could be viewed as something else entirely: a sign of the second coming of Christ. “Is there any prophetic significance to what is happening in Ukraine right now?” the heading of the post posed. “The answer is…...
