Our national broadcaster is funded by Canadian taxpayers, yet it chooses to spend those precious dollars that WE NEED TO TELL OUR OWN STORIES on programming from a country that threatens our sovereignty. Shameful. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

An incredible FREE resource given by the ultra-experienced, always generous Anthony Q. Farrell. It was an honour to be included amongst such an incredible roster of talent sharing their experiences.

Corporations are ghouls. This is an abomination and every single person advocating for this bleak future needs to be launched into the sun.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

"Minnesotans are insisting their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America." One gem of many. Incredibly written. Incredibly accurate.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's rarely wrong to disagree with Ethan. Except for his appreciation for how people smell... on that we shall disagree. But the rest is on point.

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting
