TV Draft Intensive - Script Anatomy Have an outline for a TV spec script or pilot that you want to take to draft? Or a draft that needs to be rewritten? This is the class for you.

Sketch Idea: it's the part in Jerry Maguire where he arrives to see if his coworkers read his memo about how they need to care more. But its revealed Jerry used AI to write the memo and it's full of stuff like fake names, plagiarism, and a long part where it tries to talk you into eating razorblades

I just ate a banana and it had too many strings on it and now I'm fucking pissed

My goal for the week: look at more internet

A large, intricate matte painting depicts the deep, circular interior of the technical shaft of Cloud City, featuring thousands of tiny glowing lights and structured panels that create a vanishing point perspective toward a dark center.

the two types of vehicle are cars and trucks, with every vehicle being a subclass of one of those two. a jeep is a truck. a motorcycle is obviously a car. a boat is a truck. an airplane is a car and a helicopter is a truck. trucks are cars, interestingly enough, and cars are a specific type of chair

Confession time: i shushed my toddler during the Cliff Booth trailer

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

I can't believe there's a not-zero chance this year that I'll get tear gassed while holding a "Free Don Lemon" sign

you can’t fucking dox a public official!

Yo! Reading this guy has an Eisner?! Spirit of Comics Retailer Award. Hell yeah!

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

LA folks around Burbank: ICE is out and about in NoHo today, particularly at Home Depot on Sherman Way and near Burbank Blvd and Vineland. Be careful.

Opinion | This Is the Only Card Trump Can Play

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.
