We'll be seeing an official, combined writer/actor strike beginning later today, as SAG-AFTRA's contract has unsurprisingly lapsed with no deal. Says SAG-AFTRA:

In the face of the AMPTP’s intransigence and delay tactics, SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee voted unanimously to recommend to the National Board a strike of the Producers-SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical/Streaming Contracts which expired July 12, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

SAG-AFTRA’s National Board will vote Thursday morning on whether to strike.

This will functionally shut down all remaining scripted film and TV productions, effective from the moment the strike begins today.

As an interesting aside: the last time both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA were on strike at the same time was 1960, and at the time Ronald Reagan was still an actor and SAG's president. It's been a long time since the industry has seen its two major unions strike as one, and it's hard to say which side will crack first with this being the case.

"tomato and meat sauce" implies "meat sauce" and I'm pretty sure that's just gravy or broth or something

I'm a luddite but only for cooking techniques I don't know, and I'm blaming my brother for it because he's a chef and if you're ever cooking anything he will interrupt and go "why don't you make this take four times longer and dirty another three pans? it's better like that. No, you'd need to throw out what you've made and start over."
