Drew Barrymore is hurting hundreds of thousands of workers and throwing away her reputation for the rest of time so her talk show can come back a few months early. Truly a masterclass in bad decision making.

They wouldn't give writers a fair deal,
but then actors joined them.
Now foreign creatives are standing up,
and VFX artists are unionizing.
They tried to stop workers
from knowing their value,
but instead fueled the fire
of a new Hollywood labor movement.

The “Bell” in Taco Bell is a mission bell. A mission is a church. That means Taco Bell is a church, and eating Taco Bell after midnight when you partied on Saturday night counts as going to church on Sunday.

A warning as someone who has worked in crisis PR: be prepared to see media that ties the AMPTP to credible people you like, that uses 'human shields' you cannot attack as their mouthpieces, and that disseminates information overload and logical fallacies to change our focus.

Controversial Hot Take: Audiences are actually exhausted with high-concept entertainment. Sometimes people just want a story about a guy or gal who has problems and we get to feel our emotions with them without watching them service the premise.

I'm really sorry that happened to you.
But the fact that a break in work could mean homelessness is exactly the reason to negotiate harder and wait for a fair deal: workers have to withhold their value in order to create better conditions for all.

When you co-write a script with a great writing partner, something magical happens: you both feel like you did less than half the work and the product comes out more than twice as good as it would have alone.

Every time I saw my grandpa he would brag that he never took a sick day in 40 years at the steel mill.
When he got a rare sinus cancer, I visited him. He started as usual: “I never took a sick day in 40 years … but maybe I should have. I won’t get any of that time back now.”

She could easily pay her crew out of pocket not to work until the strike is over. By scabbing, she's condemning them and other crew into future poverty by removing their bargaining power.

AMPTP and PSYOP: I spent several years in US Army PSYOP, specifically creating and disseminating propaganda. I also worked in counter-PSYOP.
My informed view is that WGA and SAG, including their members online, are already handling AMPTP propaganda near perfectly.
Keep it up.

My dad once complained “nowadays everyone gets a trophy” in front of my grandpa.
This man, who was a fatherless child on a farm during the Great Depression, replied “With all that kids have to go through, why shouldn’t they all have a trophy?”
I still think about that.
