Bruce Fanger on the dynamics behind the meeting between Mamdani and Trump in the Oval Office.

If we don’t know history, we’re doomed to repeat it.
Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

A lot of identifying themes to deepen in your own work is just pattern recognition.
If you have a major character who keeps betraying his friends, then you're writing a story (at least in part) about betraying your friends, and the consequences thereof.
Whatever keeps happening is a theme.

Folks, I fear the only way to save the planet is to completely dismantle our concept of wealth. We invented money, and all it got us is shareholders and billionaires. We need a new system.

Cool to be included in this article on being car free in this business. I’ve been bike commuting with transit to writers rooms for twenty years now.
Hollywood Without Wheels: A Not-So-Pedestrian Guide to Getting Around Town
Some of Hollywood’s most resourceful commuters explain how they make meetings and get to writers’ rooms without a car: “The idea that we don’t have public transit here is a myth.”

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Rewatching Zohran's victory speech bit by bit and it's hard not to be emotional about it - it's an appeal to hope and courage but also to the fundamental idea of living in society, together. Feels like we've been starved, often deliberately, of that kind of thinking

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The four aspects of a great character are the Need, the Want, the Ghost, and the Lie.
A Want is their conscious desire.
A Need is what they really want but might not know.
A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.
A Ghost is that spiritual wound that caused the Lie.
