We have proposals that would prevent the studios from eliminating the writers' room; they refused to discuss them. We have proposals to protect screenwriters from free work, that would have *COST THEM NOTHING TO IMPLEMENT*: They rejected them and offered an "educational meeting."

“The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.” — Carl Bass, Autodesk CEO

Taliban cutting off a last hope for many women—overseas study—by denying them graduation certificates. Foreign universities should urgently find ways to help women apply without this document. Enabling Afghan women to study is an urgent duty for academia. https://t.co/RVGe4NMCSZ
