The purrrrge

Just donated to this, join me will ya?

During the NYE ball drop would be pretty euphoric

I think at the 7 would be best, you spend 6-3 quickly processing the shock, everyone gets it back together for 2-1-happy new everything

Hey WGAW chums, check the email, the invite for the Artificial Intelligence: Know Your Rights and Responsibilities panel, by the Education Committee and with myself and a few others, is live. Dec 3, RSVP if interested, we're doing virtual so we can make it as accessible as possible.

No mention in here or the article that these claims were made without evidence, and ICE/CBP claims have repeatedly been found to be false in court in cases all over the country this year. This ain't reporting, it's doing publicity for the government

really love this

We’re feasting

Headline reads Alan Dershowitz says he 'will blow his brains out on live TV' if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor

Alan, sell to Netflix, they pay big up front.

Sure the residuals are shit, but that won’t matter will it?

ACAB includes Kirk Herbstreit

Sasaki’s glove is the color turmeric stains my fingers

It’s happening

The interrogation scene is so damn good. Not a single wasted frame

Loved this. I’ve seen RRB at the Troubadour twice (once with Wade), really great both times.

Any idea why Live At Cheatham St Warehouse isn’t avail on digital? I lost my CD of it in a move, and just wanna listen to 65 Degrees!

Set the Night on Fire: L.A. in the Sixties L.A. in the Sixties

It’s LA cop/city hall culture. Same departments that gave us Rodney King, Rampart, Watts, etc. ; highly rec this book bookshop.org/p/books/set-...

I think Hank is less of an “own the libs” and more of a “I just don’t want to hear from them” guy

But my main evidence is this: my dad is Hank Hill in every way, and he voted for GJ

Agree except for 2016, my money is Hank voted for Gary Johnson, and even thought that would be the end of the two-party system

"Bexar County DA tries to criminally charge woman for miscarriage; prosecution fails"

are y'all reporters or cop stenographers?

I think crime show tv writers and true crime Podcasters should have a think about how they've equated "due process" with "horrible guilty criminal gets off on a technicality" for decades

Why not just read their websites?

Just found out my wife’s Pilates studio is doing “Mat Madness” and not “March Matness” and I’m incensed

This, but also for sports bar guys. Very easy to shut down a bigoted joke with “That’s dumb, you’re better’n that”

The saturnine man over there talking with a lovely French emigree is already a Nazi. Mr. C is a brilliant and embittered intellectual. He was a poor white-trash Southern boy, a scholarship student at two universities where he took all the scholastic honors but was never invited to join a fraternity. His brilliant gifts won for him successively government positions, partnership in a prominent law firm, and eventually a highly paid job as a Wall Street adviser. He has always moved among important people and always been socially on the periphery. His colleagues have admired his brains and exploited them, but they have seldom invited him—or his wife—to dinner.

He is a snob, loathing his own snobbery. He despises the men about him—he despises, for instance, Mr. B—because he knows that what he has had to achieve by relentless work men like B have won by knowing the right people. But his contempt is inextricably mingled with envy. Even more than he hates the class into which he has insecurely risen, does he hate the people from whom he came. He hates his mother and his father for being his parents. He loathes everything that reminds him of his origins and his humiliations. He is bitterly anti-Semitic because the social insecurity of the Jews reminds him of his own psychological insecurity.

It’s already been said, but he’s Mr C to a shocking degree

If you’re starting out as a screenwriter, my advice is to stretch this “dreaming” phase out as long as possible. Let the movie appear in your head before you try to transcribe it to the cold and clinical computer screen. And have fun diving into research - it ALWAYS results in something interesting.

yes

Homeland?

It takes 10 minutes to call your US rep and both senators and tell them they gotta show more fight. Just do that once a week And if you think calling doesn't make a difference, lemme tell you a story I called Dianne Feinstein's office once a week for a year, saying she was too old for office and should step down. And then she died. Calls work!
