Remember this speech? Little did we know how applicable it would be in 2020.
Greatness doesn’t take a day off. #barackobama#wemissyou

Guess we shouldn't be surprised that there's clowns who would rather let the industry shut down than properly pay those who are the foundation of their business.
#WritersStrike#WGA
Netflix didn’t start producing content until 2011. They’ve never truly experienced a writers strike. Amazon has made sure to keep unions out of their workforce but entered Hollywood after guilds were established… this is going to be interesting.
More than 11,000 writers across the U.S. are on strike starting today, stopping some television production as WGA members push for better pay on streaming shows and better working conditions.
Hollywood lost more than $2 billion in the last writers’ strike in 2007.
The WGA set a new record for both participation and the percentage of support in a strike authorization vote. 97.85% of our members have said enough! Enough of treating us like we’re not the sole reason you get to make billions of dollars. Your move AMPTP. #WGAStrong
The Writers Guild of America has passed a strike authorization vote with 97.85% voting in favor, giving union leadership the power to call a strike once the contract expires on May 1. https://t.co/SeKHSGznj4
WGA members have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. The vote authorizes the WGA West Board and the WGA East Council to call a strike if a fair deal for a new film and TV contract isn’t reached by May 1, when the current pact expires https://t.co/5jSZ2eygtB
WGA members have authorized a strike by 97.95%. Writers are ready for a deal from the studios that allows writers to share in the success of the content they create and build a stable life #WGAStrong

I worked with James on “Friends” season 7 where I was the Script Supervisor. He was one of the first people to warm up to me; always kind and humble. Just shows, the good really do die young. Rest in Peace, my friend.
James Michael Tyler, an actor beloved for his portrayal of Gunther on “Friends,” died of prostate cancer on Sunday morning. He was 59 https://t.co/1T1Vxw2IGE
@Local871 Plan & email your next town hall zoom meeting already! What in all the hell are you waiting for?! Surely there is SOMETHING we can fruitfully discuss as a collective, professional unit. Every day that clicks away is another day we work literally still ‘in the dark.’
