On this Labor Day weekend, with Hollywood still shut down & anxiety levels high, I’m choosing to focus on the positive. Now, I’m not normally a feel-good story guy, but I was struck this week by the sheer volume of generosity that has poured forth during the course of the strike.
This is desperate fearmongering from the side that’s losing. Look for hit pieces on WGA leadership soon, rumors of secret meetings, letters from individual writers criticizing the guild. This is typical strikebreaking PR bullshit and Deadline will be happy to publish all of it.
Last year, 8 Hollywood CEOs made nearly $800 million, yet pay for TV writers has fallen by 23 percent over the last 10 years. I stand with the nearly 12,000 @WGAWest writers on strike for a fair contract.
will probably get banned for posting this 100% true thing but it feels like twitter might be ending anyway. elon accidentally called me last night at 3am pacific time. seemed sad. wanted to talk about mindviruses(???) worried about him
