I’m going insane. Image
David Zaslav made them pause Fleabag on a yacht because a sex scene made him uncomfortable. Image
I read this and now you have to. vanityfair.com/news/2021/10/d…
Billionaires are not normal people full stop.
Calling a billionaire a regular guy is like calling Frankenstein a regular guy because he started off as parts of regular guys
“That there is the shin of an all American dude”
Thrilled that a guy who had to pause a sex scene to clear the air is now in charge of HBO.
Maybe the next season of The Last Of Us can be about picking out backsplashes in Vancouver.
Thank you for reading this thread. FYI you don’t need to be a @WGAWest or @WGAEast member to join a picket, you just have to sign a clipboard, grab a sign, and walk in a little circle. wgacontract2023.org/strike/picket-…
If you want to support the #WGAStrike from a distance, you can donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here to help support individuals affected by an entirely preventable work stoppage triggered by zillionaires. secure2.convio.net/afa/site/Donat…
The more people help the sooner the #WGAStrike will be over, just like putting away legos. wgacontract2023.org/strike/picket-…
You wanna step on a lego
And, again, how embarrassing would it be to surrender to this guy. #WGAStrong

It is astonishing that someone can be writing at this level of pay and exposure about an issue that they understand this poorly. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. It would be like if National Geographic paid me to imagine how lobsters reproduce without googling it first.
Important context here: I grew up in a religious household and was never told how baby lobsters are made.
I’m betting it’s wild.

Every bad boss I ever had told me I was just lucky to be there and there were a million people out there who would be happy to do the job for less. If that sounds familiar to your own life, support creative professionals, especially if you are or want to become one. #WGAStrong
If you do want to have a creative career someday, tagging studios on twitter to tell them you’ll work cheaper than the writers who are striking is shooting yourself in the foot on multiple levels for a gambit that wasn’t going to work to begin with.
If corporations did what randos tweeted at them I’d be eating discontinued McDonald’s products in my secret condo at Mario World

Today, a total stranger, not in the biz, found out I was on strike and said to me, “The arrogance of that man.”
I’m not gonna blow up her spot, but it’s possible the average person outside this conflict is becoming aware of it and choosing a side.
Also just an explosion of general interest and awareness in behind the scenes of show business. When I was a kid, the average rabid Batman or Star Wars fan would not be doing kremlinology about studio executives with their friends.

“Writing is bad now” are you watching less
Half the internet is just one second animations showcasing individual lines of scripted dialog that were so instantly powerful that they rewired our brains and changed the way we talk to each other permanently.

Twitter right now is like if every time you posted on Facebook there was a chance Mark Zuckerberg would reply Tom Hanks drinks baby blood.
I’m having a bad time with the version of this website that is the fiefdom of a lunatic who is addicted to being the main character.
Like, people on social media ARE saying Tom hanks drinks baby blood, but most of the ceos have the basic common sense to not be one of them

“If you indict trump you will make his supporters mad they will mobilize and he will become more powerful than ever” dude I don’t know what to tell you I am not in charge of any of this
“If you destroy the hornets nest it will only make the hornets mad just stay in your house forever it’s their driveway now”
generally speaking I think if your approach to bullies is let them keep ruining your life until they get bored or die you’re over or under thinking it
