He directly refuses to accept the premise of the question, challenges the premise, clearly IDs ICEโs past lie, clearly identifies their real behavior, and clearly explains how they manipulate the media to do so. every other Dem should emulate this.

I turned my screen and forced Greg to read this page while we were in a silent library.
Iโm going to hell but Iโve paved my chute myself.
@gregmachlin.bsky.social said I had to write 6 pages of trauma-bonded vampires solving crimes before I was allowed to write any more disaster gay cheerleader nonsense.
Heโs mean.
But also very motivating.
Utterly random but, should you want to write a mystery procedural TV pilot, this WGA panel is one of the single best resources Aoife & I have encountered.

valid. and also, his timing in the sketch โWashingtonโs Dreamโ is absolutely top notch.

Remember this: behind every "overnight success" is years of showing up, making connections, and battling self-doubt.

Brandy walks through a slient town
And drags a man, across the ground.
To ditch him in the bay.
She hears him say Brandy you're a fine girl
Please don't murder me
My life, my lover, my lady, not the sea....
YOU - (Look at your wrist.) โIt's apocalypse o' clock. Time to commence the Gloaming.โ

Chotiner: So you chose to kill your slavewomen as well as the suitors who had taken over your home. Why?
Odysseus: Well, I was in a frenzy understandably, plus they had probably slept with the suitors.
C: Ah. And as slaves did they do this voluntarily?
O: I didnโt ask because
C: They were dead?
