THE BOOK OF ELI is currently the #1 featured movie on ⁦β€ͺMax‬⁩ which is great. Not so great? The writing credit still lists three people who were not writers of the film, while omitting me, the sole writer of the film.

I don't know if it's his own turn of phrase, but thank you @michaelhobbes.bsky.social for adding "legacy admission confidence" to my personal lexicon.

Wild that Barbenheimer finally got people excited to go back to the movies as an event and the studios are like yeah we're willing to just burn that all to the ground to spite labor

School libraries don't need you to donate copies of banned books. They need you to step up and run for the school board so the books don't get banned in the first place.

very excited for AI journalists to do big feature profiles on the next AI movie star, and for AI movies to win awards chosen through an AI committee of critics that is really just three algorithms stacked on top of each other in a trench coat

It's not the most accurate. Just make sure you vet the accounts. Some weren't good matches, people with similar names to famous people, or people pretending to be famous people/accounts.

It's possible that the recent rise in teen suicides is entirely due to changes in reporting standards.

A super fun thing to do when the news mentions 'a study' or 'scientists' saying something is actually track down the thing and then find out who paid for it.

Just putting this out in the universe, but I would love just one opportunity to play a spellcaster who casts Counterspell by sticking their finger in the other spellcaster's mouth, the way you do a yawning pet

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.

The 13 CEOs at 12 media companies (Netflix has co-CEOs) average about $32 million in compensation each per year, with a few hitting over $50 mil.

The the increase that the WGA is asking for β€”the total amount for all 11,500 WGA membersβ€”is less than what these guys make together.
