Just FYI, high functioning people with Autism understand what a Nazi salute looks like.

It seems like tinfoil hat stuff, but Google U.S. Presidents. FUCK
Google is being fucking petty by erasing Joe Biden’s presidency. The second photo is a screenshot I took myself.

Hire Sam Kuffel
How many times meteorologist Kuffel was wrong -- said it would rain when it didn't or called for sunshine when it rained buckets -- and was allowed to go back to work!

But the one time she gets it right, she loses her job?! What's the weather coming to in this country?! Climate change is serious!!
Meteorologist Sam Kuffel was targeted by a conservative media personality for comparing Musk's gesture to a Nazi salute.

#scriptsky if you're a screenwriter looking to level up, work with @garrickd.bsky.social. He once gave me a note that not only solved a huge script issue (on a project that my producer is currently shopping, so his notes worked!) -- it applies to EVERYTHING I write.
I'm a freelance writing consultant specializing in scripts but I also work w authors

2025 reps my 30th yr in the entertainment industry; I've worked on films ranging from tiny Indies to massive blockbusters

and I'd love to help you hone your work

Please DM me for rates/availability!

OMG and then I end up rewatching 30 ROCK because I get so mad at scrolling through all the things.

And I hope he goes in a painful way. Fuck positivity. He's about to destroy the world. Rainbows and sunshine can't combat his evil.

This was a ton of fun. 🎥

I'd love to write about Elizabeth Bathory.
Who's a historical figure you'd love to write about?

Mine is Enheduanna of Ur (ancient Iraq) she was the first writer/poet ever recorded. A princess and High Priestess of the goddess Inanna.

LAID on Peacock was delightfully weird. I'm not sure wtf I just watched, but in a good way!

I see a lot of comments about how terrible it is that so many U.S. productions shoot in Canada. Please understand the long history of our countries' entertainment businesses being intertwined. Advocating to pull shoots is advocating to kill the careers of Canadians you've worked with for decades.

Alright, writers. Take a cue from Lynch: go be your weird damn selves and leave some fucking art in this world before you're gone.

With the heroic efforts being made to save LA right now, I hope the Academy Awards are all presented by LA firefighters this year. With details flashing on screen every few minutes about how to donate to buy them emergency fire shelters and hydration packs: supportlafd.kindful.com?campaign=104...

LET'S START SOME INTERACTING!!!
What's an underrated genre Christmas movie you love? I don't know many people who saw SILENT NIGHT. It's the contained, much more fun version of DON'T LOOK UP written and directed by a woman!!!

Oh, do you mean the BuzzFeed whose film exec told me 'don't say you're a feminist, it alienates half your audience?' Not surprised they don't want humans.
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
BuzzFeed sells "Hot Ones" studio for $82.5 million as it pursues more AI-driven content
The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

A special ask for the #scriptsky/#filmsky crowd regarding THE GREY LIST:

Take a moment this weekend to nominate a script from a historically under-represented segment of our community - #LGQTIA+ - #AANHPI - #BIPOC - #Disabled

Help us ensure we spotlight stories of all kinds!

Obviously Faith. And I legitimately have a killer series Bible featuring her for a reboot.
@goldiejones.bsky.social @laurenferebee.bsky.social
Alright, nobody liked yesterday's question. How about this: if there's a BUFFY reboot, what legacy character that's not the slayer herself do you wanna see come back????
