1) Something (very stupid) you’re going to see over the next weeks are people arguing that screenwriters are being unreasonable. “Times have changed”. No. Times WERE changed. By SOMEBODY. By PEOPLE, making CHOICES.

Snoop Dogg blasting the streaming model and supporting the writers’ strike is my FAVORITE thing ever. 🐐

"This, to me, feels like the same sort of existential crisis of capitalism that's happening with teachers & support staff at schools, nurses, Starbucks baristas, Target employees, all across the country,” @nickadamsweb tells In These Times #WGAstrike #1u inthesetimes.com/article/wga-st…

#sagaftramembers I’m voting yes to authorize a strike because with streaming we’re getting paid so much less, to do the same amount of work. + we need to create a framework around A.I. now. SAG-AFTRA I encourage you to vote yes!

SAG ACTORS, Vote yes on the coming strike authorization so the leadership has the most ammunition to protect you from the dehumanizing act of giving away the representation of YOU. Don’t let the AMPTP treat you like some object they can use however they want.

RIP #CormacMcCarthy. We briefly met a few times - the last being a few years ago. He was perceptive, curious and kind to me. What a talent.

The 1st episode (Joan is Awful) of the new #BlackMirror is exactly why the WGA is on strike. It’s what’s already started to happen in VO contracts.

AMERICA — AND WORKERS AROUND THE WORLD — STAND WITH UPS TEAMSTERS Over the last few days, hundreds of elected officials and unions throughout the labor movement have put out statements of solidarity with #Teamsters at UPS... #1u #HotUnionSummer

Lemme get this straight - $70,000 is low income in LA but you have to make under $25,000 a year to qualify for ANY kind of benefits. So, everyone in the middle - which is the majority of LA - is just... fucked without options or help.

Stand strong! #SAGAFTRA SAG-AFTRA

If nothing else, my compliments to whoever has been responsible for writing these communiques. Direct, clear, informative messaging. Great stuff.

I’ve always loved playing video games, and now I’m in one! So fun voicing Kogoro Katsura in #RiseoftheRonin For those who have played it, I hope you’ve had fun fighting him or fighting alongside him. I know which side I’ll choose. 本当にありがとう Team Ninja!

When your own political party is debating whether or not you should drop out of the presidential election, you've already lost.

The Democratic Party is in the midst of a legitimacy crisis. A party in that situation does not have the credibility to simply anoint a new candidate. They need a process that at least attempts to have some legitimacy. They need an open convention. Kamala needs one, too.
