‘’Life? Don’t talk to me about life!’’

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

My last 3 brain cells: 🎬 🎥

If you hire someone to do the work and they do the work.
👏 Pay 👏 Them 👏 In 👏 Full.

Freelancers - don’t wait until you’ve handed everything in before expecting the final payment, especially if it’s half the money you’re owed.

Clients - if you’re not happy with the work, pause it and say why asap.

If you've stopped masking, this is a really good idea on both fronts.

If you're going to mask, make it a P2/N95 respirator.
As someone who never stopped masking, my last cold was early 2021: it really works and on more than just Covid.

After months of creative wasteland, I have not one but TWO stories ready for a treatment.

One is a fun supernatural film noir, the other a psychological thriller that might eat me alive before I finish it.

Inspiration works in mysterious ways. #ScriptSky

Zohran be like: "Look at me, I’m your favorite child now."

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.

Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.

He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

What more do people need to see?

trump is further left than the baileys

You ACED it, man! New York will be safe with you

A Socialist in the White House Zohran Mamdani is certainly not the first democratic socialist to meet with a US president. But his visit with Donald Trump shows the renewal of a historic American movement.

Zohran Mamdani's friendly visit with Donald Trump shows one thing: democratic socialism in America is here to stay.

That really sucks. Writers should lift each other up, not tear each other down. From what I’ve read of your work, you’re really talented and dedicated. Don't let anyone discourage you.

Keep sharing your successes, and surround yourself with people who encourage you. You’ve got this!

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

A tv screen. Zohran Mamdani stands above Trump, looking down on him in the Oval Office

Mamdani looking down on Trump like you’d watch a dog try to open a locked door with their paws

Well that was fucking incredible. He cast a charm spell on the most odious man alive.

Trump can't help but fall in love with people who take a firm stance against him.

Take note, Democrats.

Ahem

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?

MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have

TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

Zohran standing next to Trump right now feels like that moment you get your grandpa into Taylor Swift… and now he’s obsessed.

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.

What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

And So It Begins: Paramount, Netflix And Comcast Formally Submit Bids For Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount, Comcast and Netflix have submitted bids to acquire all or part of Warner Bros. Discovery, ushering in a dramatic period of evolution for the media business.

you can read a 1000 word story on these mergers without the journalist EVER mentioning the fact that almost every merger like this has resulted in oodles of debt, layoffs, chaos, frustration, and shittier product

they just don't think that's useful context to even mention

Unfortunately, education has gotten so expensive that failure has become a luxury many students can’t afford.

I obviously don’t support giving up critical thinking to machines, but I can’t blame students for trying to keep their heads above water in this ruthless economy.

What Even Is a ‘Box Office Flop’ Anymore? Numerous movies have struggled at the box office of late, but not all should be so easily considered financial failures.

A fascinating insight on what makes a movie a ‘’success’’ today #FilmSky

The schedule is definitely not fitting, even though Wicked will probably smash new BO records this weekend. 💯 agree on the turmoil situation - everything is in chaos, and watching a dystopian story is probably too bleak for many.
