HUGE NEWS: The Writers Guild just won our biggest victory since the strike. We flipped a non-union “unscripted” show. Starting today, all of the writers on Ridiculousness will have WGA coverage, health care, and residuals. Let me explain how we did it, and why it's a big deal.🧵

No one wants to see a picket line on @SesameStreet. What would that even look like? Can Elmo hold a picket sign in his furry little hands? What would Oscar the Grouch shout into a bullhorn?
