I am a TV writer (SVU, ENDGAME, THE ORDAINED, so many pilots). Former President of the Writers Guild of America East, longtime journalist (TIME) and sometime author. New Jersey by way of Japan 🇯🇵🇺🇸
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
“I never want to end up in a position where I’m one of the Ningyōzukai manipulating the arms and legs of this puppet that frankly hasn’t been relevant since the early 17th century,” said the Marty Supreme star
"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."
Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.
This introduction of a key to the executive washroom is one of a hundred Wilder structural masterstrokes of The Apartment. Everything you ever need to know about screenwriting is in this movie.
The repetition and lyricism of the picture means that the film is as much music as anything.

I think that’s brilliant! Who tf needs matching plates
In accepting his WGA award, Stephen Colbert named and said something funny about each of his 20 writers so they’d be hired when his show ends 🥹

“All the President’s Men” was a warning
Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
Had to doublecheck the date on this
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Have you seen the commercial that brought down Kristi Noem?
It’s even more bizarre than I expected.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Holy shit! This is a whole ass shit show. This is an American woman living in the UAE. My country is being run by complete imbeciles right now. Not to mention how badly they’re lying to us with little amount of information they are putting out. I’m just ashamed. #TrumpsEpicFailure
So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Per @pabloreports.bsky.social — Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez’s husband says they “don’t know where she is” after she was grabbed by ICE.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
A budget is a moral document.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This reminds me of the time Kim Kardashian’s Skims tried to trademark the word “kimono"
I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.
Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.
Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and it’s time for the USL to deliver.
The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.
おめでとう！
The U.S. war on Iran is estimated to have already cost taxpayers over $2 billion dollars.
