@jonlovett @jonfavs and I hate Twitter/X. Only posting here because it seems like the best way to reach you. So you brought me out of my Twitter hibernation.

@jonlovett @jonfavs idea for a Biden ad. A version of this Monty Python skit and substitute Biden for the Romans and talk about all he's accomplished that people don't seem to know. https://t.co/R6PRClJ8Zo

[Laura Sydell @Sydell]

@jonlovett @jonfavs it seems clear that inflation is making people grumpy about Biden. Why doesn't Biden start taking charge of the problem and doing whatever he can about it? I think it's the biggest issue in his way. Please discuss

@WGAWest @Evan_Almighty #WGAStrong Former NPR Digital Culture Reporter here. If a producer or studio use a script to train an AI, that writer should get paid in perpetuity. Your creative work will be part of anything the AI creates after that. So you should get paid.

@WGAwest @Evan_Almighty I spent years reporting on technology and culture and I think this strike is epic. The tech companies destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of musicians and journalists who did not have unions. This is the Netflix, Apple, Amazon face a strong union.

@Evan_Almighty Hey Evan, nice to meet you today. What was the WGA hashtag you thought would be a good one to use to tweet thought about the strike?

[Laura Sydell @Sydell]

#screenwriting #screenwritingtwitter Musicians - has streaming lowered your pay? I know this is an opened ended question but I've been following this for years and I'm watching the WGA strike issues with concerns about the future for writers.

I loved hearing about my wonderful writing space on a show I used to work for: Founder Janis Cooke Newman is a fearless, inspiring leader. This is a great model for a setting up a writer's space. The Gold's Gym Model https://t.co/LPdbUIkRht

I've got first hand experience and I can promise you that @NPR is not influenced by the government. It's definitely influenced by millions of people carry Nina Totenbags and NPR mugs.

Here's my interview with former IBM CEO Ginny Rometty, breaker of the glass ceiling and author of an interesting memoir called "Good Power." I found her thoughts on skills over degrees for jobs especially interesting and relevant. https://t.co/U70djX4USL

Either it’s close enough to April Fool’s Day so someone thinks it’s funny to mock TV sci-fi or we need to start taking the last of us seriously. https://t.co/4fdj0hZFc9
