My “virtual polygraph” lives in Canada. You can’t meet it, but it’s totally real and I fuck it all the time.
There are really nice, smart, polite people who follow me and I feel like they’re going to question that now.
The rest of you are, obviously, trash.
By the way, here’s another example of the dangerous, unhinged conspiracy vomit that is @gatewaypundit:

A friend of mine got a show picked up by Netflix. There was no money in his budget for a writing staff. “I don’t want to write every script myself,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of tv. Other voices make the show better.”

“Oh yeah, totally,” said Netflix. “Here’s what you’ll do: 🧵
“Instead of hiring a staff, just pick some writers and tell them you’re giving them a script. They’ll come in to help break the story and outline-”

“But they’re not on staff.”

“They’re getting a script fee. Developing the script is now part of that.”

“It is?”

“It is.”
“What happens after they turn their draft in? Usually the staff would table [rewrite] the scripts together.”

“Just call some writers and tell them you can pay them for one day to punch up four scripts. They’ll obviously have to read them ahead of time and make notes, blah blah.

Quick 🧵 about free work, which is a WGA issue with studios but *also* with our reps. Here’s a very typical example: my (former) agents once asked me to meet with a performer who was attached to a studio reboot of a high profile show. He needed to partner with a showrunner.
“It’s basically already sold,” my agents assured me. “A few weeks to develop it, then take it out. Apple and Netflix are already asking for it.”
But it wasn’t a few weeks. The performer kept getting schedule conflicts, which kept pushing our window to take out a pitch. They also became increasingly problematic, pulling their romantic partner into our meetings as a “creative muse.” “Don’t worry,” my agents kept saying.

Those of us who have been doing this a while have a hundred reasons why the WGA had no choice but to strike. Here’s (another) one of mine: #WGAStrong Image
How’d we know we’d go over schedule? Bc the streamer wanted a show with low budget New Media rates, so our producing partner/studio built a production calendar that was ridiculously short (so offices could be vacated/staff cut to make the #’s work). It was a Potemkin schedule.
We went to work *knowing* we couldn’t make the show in the time allotted for the money they were paying.

So the studio just…stretched the time without paying the people writing/producing it anything more (extra money was found for animators and other staff on weekly rates.)

Reporting that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia personally hacked the phone of Jeff Bezos is terrifying; MBS is a murderer who has also imprisoned and tortured human rights activists, including @LoujainHathloul. But it gets scarier. 1/ theguardian.com/technology/202…
It means MBS almost certainly owns the Trump family, via desperate failson Jared Kushner.

Quick context: 2/
In 2005, Charles Kushner went to prison for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering (he hired a prostitute to seduce his sister's husband, who was cooperating with the Feds, recorded them, and sent the tape to his sister.) 3/ cbsnews.com/news/nj-scanda…

Re: the news that @GavinNewsom signed a bill to phase out private prisons and privately-run immigration detention facilities in California... a friend of mine did six months in a minimum security private prison years ago. Quick (interesting!) thread: sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
When my friend was driven from court to the minimum security prison he was sentenced to, the car detoured to the (private) high security facility next to it. He was told there was a problem with his paperwork. He was placed in solitary confinement and asked if he wanted a Bible.
Confused, he said no. And he sat there for two days, treated like a violent criminal. Meals through the slot in the door. You know: solitary. Third day, he was told to turn backwards and put his hands through the slot to be cuffed. He was taken to a smiling corrections officer.
