It starts with The Workers Lab logo, which is a blue hexagon with the word “The” in white letters, “Workers” in red letters, and “Lab” in white letters. There’s one word per line.

Lowkey Moxie The New Era = Indie TV

At Lowkey Moxie, we’re doing what we can to keep people working in television and building a new future. We’re so honored that Damon Lindelof is one of our supporters. Won’t you join him in donating to our fiscal sponsorship?

Damon Lindelof Reveals Why He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Letter "Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town," Damon Lindelof said Monday on why he signed an anti-Paramount-WBD merger letter.

It’s so heartening to see the major players in Hollywood fighting back against this Warner/Paramount merger. With even more recent layoffs, everyone knows if this merger goes through, it will mean disaster to the industry as we know it.

This is a great thread! All of my latest pilots seem to have taken longer than the last, but I’ve noticed that by the time I’ve cracked them, I can also explain them succinctly. I’d never really made the connection before, but it makes a lot of sense!

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

Artemis shows what can be accomplished. The future we should build is the one based on science and cooperation. Not division and violence. 🧪

Sometimes keeping tabs open forever pays off! A game I’ve been wanting to play of over a year finally released on PlayStation a couple of weeks ago. I can’t wait to get caught up in its Southern Gothic beauty.

My whole feed is artists mooning over scientists bc we all love discovering stuff and people who are good at their jobs and it is beautiful.

I’m putting it out to the world, and my friends, that I’m actively looking for representation. On top of building an indie tv studio, I’m ready to sell and ready to staff, so looking to build my team to better juggle all of the things.

I’d love recs from people who know me of people I should know.

I love wine! And this photo!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Attention Los Angeles and SoCal denizens, there’s going to be a sonic boom between 5-5:15pm tonight from Artemis’ re-entry. Given the state of the world right now, thought y’all might appreciate a heads up. I know I did. Godspeed 🙏🏻 🚀 👨‍🚀

Some days I’m amazed at myself for pulling off that I have it all together.

Oh, looks so good! Can’t wait!

Lately, so many competitions and fellowships have gone the indirect rejection route, where people are notified they were accepted before people are notified they weren’t. I’m really not a fan, since my celebration for my friends is immediately diminished by the realization I didn’t advance.

Usually I do, too. And I go to a spot where it’s mostly locals. But coming from Burbank, I always have to plan it on days where I have most of the daytime free, so I can go after morning rush and leave before the worst of evening rush. Which is surprisingly difficult some months

Sunday morning at the beach isn’t nearly as crowded as I expected, and it only took 33 minutes to get here! This might need to be my new routine.

I haven’t said this in a while, but a reminder that in this age of ai, I’m supporting human creators by keeping DMs open to ALL new and aspiring comics creators. You want advice or feedback on writing, art, or the industry at large?

Hit me up.

I don’t know why I get more emotional seeing protests in other countries.

I guess it’s knowing people care about and want better for us. Our country is more than our government, and they see and hear us.

Palestinian teen bullied by teacher over Pledge protest wins legal settlement Danielle Khalaf was humiliated by her teacher after she refused to stand for the Pledge. She sued. The result is a huge victory.

A 14-year-old girl knew her constitutional rights better than her teacher.

She sat during the Pledge to protest the war in Gaza.

Her teacher humiliated her, even saying "go back to your country."

She sued.

The district just paid up.

I love that I have so many friends involved in live theater in LA right now.

I’ll be going to see The Adding Machine in Culver on 2 April and Reverie in Hollywood on 17 April. Let me know if you’d like to join!

Haha, I have a lot of friends who write that way. I find that if I don’t figure it out in the beginning, I end up saying not much of anything. Which worked for Seinfeld, I guess, but I was never a fan.

Features, I can maybe get away without starting with theme, but never TV.

I definitely outline, and rarely stray from it. An early logline is more of a thematic statement. So I can go back to it quickly if I feel like I’m getting off track. Or, more importantly, it helps me have a concise answer when inevitably asked “what are you working on?” 😂 That’s the main benefit.

Hey everyone! You have until MARCH 30, 2026 to file a claim in the Anthropic Settlement.

If you have questions about filing--or if you aren't sure if you've filed correctly--call the settlement administrator at 1 877-206-2314.

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content “In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

I can see the benefit in writing the logline first, since it forces me to know what story I’m telling, but it rarely stays the same once I’ve finished the script.
