yup

worth noting that I read that kind of description in student scripts

in produced scripts, it’s less common

turns out actresses who can help get a film funded don’t want to play animate t&a

crazy, right?

never want to know what they look like — only care about what makes them tick

“you know he went to Harvard because he’ll tell you within 3 sentences”

yes

AND he may have point

BUT ONLY IF you’re describing what everyone is wearing in every scene, vs when it’s relevant to the story

Occasionally one writes a sentence that requires no context:

“Melvin’s the kind of spider who talks with his hands.”

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Reminder: Trump was president and Barr was AG

Nice to see another outlet picking up on the fact that a Republican candidate for governor in Tennessee confirmed to us he believes women who make their own reproductive decisions and get abortions should face the death penalty.

R.I.P. Michael Silverblatt.

“Bookworm” was a formative show for this kid from Nebraska to feel connected to writers.

“Silverblatt…known for interviews of authors so in depth they sometimes left his subjects astounded at his breadth of knowledge of their work...”

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Every actor in the death orgy scene was 18 or older.

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates, what we did with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," Scott Galloway tells Tim Miller. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."

Dems could get enough votes to impeach RFK Jr over this, no question. Conviction in the Senate is harder, 67 is a high hurdle. But a strong Dem push for it, including a relentless media strategy, could cause Trump to panic and force a u-turn.

The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting And it's disturbing that a magistrate judge signed off on it.

New in PN: The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting

"The SAVE Act is not expected to pass the Senate, but in some ways, it doesn’t really need to. It's already served the same purpose as the raid: undermining confidence in elections by amplifying debunked lies about fraud."

The public facing billionaires who run Apple, Amazon, Tesla, etc. are sucking up to the fascist regime as if there won’t be consequences.

Which argues that the ‘26 and ‘28 elections are imperiled.

"I kept telling them "the girl was born here". They didn't care, they picked up the child, just put a jumper on her and told me to get into the car with her.”
