The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at https://t.co/c0ULMXhPL7. #WGAStrong
We did it. We have a tentative deal.
Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong
People can feel that it was a bad idea and a waste of money and recognize that there are worse tragedies in the world while still feeling some sympathy for people who may be facing a slow and terrifying death on the bottom of the ocean. We contain multitudes.
I want AI to anticipate what groceries I'm running low on, search every flier and website in my city to find the best price, and compile me a weekly list based on best deals per fewest stops. I do not want AI to make a picture of me if I were an astronaut.
The vulnerable shouldn’t be in this alone. We should care about each other’s safety. And I truly believe most people do care, but we need to make it easy to do the right thing. I think this simple slogan would be really effective at changing the social etiquette around masking.
In case you didn't already know, here's the quickest rundown we can give as to why writers are striking. Let's get the word out for anyone who's still confused: this is about the survival of writing as a sustainable career, period #WGAStrong
Pressure Hank to work: NO.

@WritersGuildF Ideas:
The pen is mightier than the AI
Because we’re the heroes of this story
Because art was meant to be made by humans
Silly execs, writing is for people!
Art is what makes us human
This is fucking atrocious. These companies are genuinely destroying people’s careers and lives cause they don’t wanna give us a piece of the crumb of the pie they’re devouring.
People are gonna have episodes they wrote just vanish after a lifetime of chasing that achievement.
