I'm going to stick around here until the strike is over but then I'll be migrating to one or both of these places, in case you want to follow me now and beat the rush

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@DrewMcWeeny WHAT

[Writers Guild of America West @WGAWest]

99% of WGA members have voted in favor of ratifying the 2023 MBA. 🧵

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@OfficialBlueyTV Oh no now I'm sobbing

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

I voted to approve the new MBA and you can too!

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@alisontheperson I decided to write a book during the strike and I did not realize how masochistic that desire truly was

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@alisontheperson Oh lord we should compare notes on this process

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@TheRyanK Obviously this is real but I can't imagine a support staffer I'd want to hire less than one with no interest in staffing.

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@stevendeknight Any showrunner the studios could bully into not hiring a staff is not a showrunner they want writing everything with no help and they know that.

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@ZackBornstein I don't think you really invented a new hat

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@moses_marquez @stevendeknight I'm not jumping in to be unnecessarily argumentative, but just knowing what I know: studios can't make money on 6 ep seasons, and they're starting to learn this the hard way. TV economics work through amortization: you build a set once, you use it a lot. 6 eps isn't enough.

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

Woke up not on strike anymore and it’s glorious. You’re next SAG-AFTRA! We got you!

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

One of the neat things about the new MBA is everyone’s screenshotting a different provision and saying “THIS is the most important part”

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

One more time, everyone sing along now! https://t.co/MrAbA4nQBk

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

There's a lot of great stuff in this deal but the funniest provision is that we managed to replace the dead arbiters the AMPTP insisted on keeping.

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@abughazalehkat … why would they air this?

I wish I felt elated but I only feel exhausted. Proud to be a member of this union and grateful for all of us for sticking together to get what we deserve.

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

When this is all over we need award fake carol the WGA equivalent of the presidential medal of freedom

[Carol Lombardini @ItsMeCarolAMPTP]

back at it, just getting fueled up for another big negosh sesh

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

Had a meeting for a project with an A-list actor at a Brentwood wine bar. When he finished his glass, he reached across the table and grabbed mine to keep drinking. Don’t think he even noticed it wasn’t his. When he left, he said his assistant would pay. There was no assistant.

What’s your favorite interaction you’ve had with a celebrity?

[Max Hurwitz @xhurwitz]

@JokerzWyldd They’ll still be able to make the Studio City one if they wrap it up today
