*Enormous* props to JB Pritzker for this response. He directly refuses to accept the premise of the question, challenges the premise, clearly IDs ICEโ€™s past lie, clearly identifies their real behavior, and clearly explains how they manipulate the media to do so. every other Dem should emulate this.

Iโ€™m not moving either. The only platform Iโ€™ve actually left is Xwitter. (I would fully delete the account I took private except they require a phone number and Iโ€™m not giving Xwitter my phone number.)

You all did this for me! Humbled and honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the WGA WEST. Thank you to everyone who supported, voted, reposted, or told a friend about me. Looking forward to fighting the good fight for us all! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

It explains why I tell people I don't like hope, but I do like resolve.

As I explained the other day, there is no such thing as "you made it" in Hollywood. There is just "so, I guess this was *not* my last year in the business. phew."

Yeah, PTA was having a *whole* lot of fun. His most "fun" movie since... honestly, maybe since Boogie Nights!

If youโ€™ve ever wondered about the โ€œbe careful what you wish forโ€ downside that @gregmachlin.bsky.social deals with for having me as a writing partner, just know that I drank a bunch of Jack tonight and went on multiple rants about bottle episodes, anime, and 21 Jump Street.

@gregmachlin.bsky.social youโ€™re being called out for sighing like a southern belle when you forget to breathe during writing sessions!

there's a lot of high schools out there and they all need colors so I say we just go for it. they can have had their colors before the trans flag was created.

I turned my screen and forced Greg to read this page while we were in a silent library.

Iโ€™m going to hell but Iโ€™ve 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.

Heโ€™s mean.
But also very motivating.

Demystifying the Mystery Procedural
YouTube video by WGA West Demystifying the Mystery Procedural

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 โ€œWashingtonโ€™s Dreamโ€ is absolutely top notch.

He was hilarious on SNL and is genuinely a good comedian, and he himself is not right-wing. His hosting wasโ€ฆnot great, Iโ€™d agree.

That is insane and also dishonest, bc according to article 1 he was BORN IN BROOKLYN, NOT GUYANA!

That nasty little voice telling you everyone else has it figured out while you're struggling? It visits every writer I knowโ€”even the ones with Emmy awards. Remember this: behind every "overnight success" is years of showing up, making connections, and battling self-doubt.

At night when the bars close down
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....

CHOTINER: So You created us right
GOD: Yes
CHOTINER: In Your image
GOD: Yes
CHOTINER: And sometimes we do bad things
GOD: Oh Yes
CHOTINER: And then you send plagues and floods
GOD: OK I think I see where you are going with this

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 didnโ€™t ask because

C: They were dead?
