The more an app name doth sounde lyke the name of a muppet, the more likelye it ys that the app ys used yn a merciless dystopian gig economye scheme.

Teachinge young people how to reade literature and poetrye and novels ys teachinge them how to access an olde and goode and powerful system for sharinge messages yn tymes of emergencye. Readinge literature ys key to the ongoing struggle for a bettir and more just worlde.

For some reason thinkinge about the waye that Kenneth McMillan, yn a monologue by the Baron yn the 1984 *Dune,* doth such a distinctyve deliverye on "and he'll know -- HE'LL KNOW! that it ys I..."

BREAKING: Hill County just proved Texans aren’t powerless. When local people stood up, they hit pause on a 300-acre data center, joining Athens, Killeen, San Marcos, and Wichita Falls in pushing back. If Hill County can fight back, the rest of Texas can too.

Also, this is why the Paramount/Skydance/Warner Bros. Discovery merger is so terrifying to us all. Fewer competitors means fewer movies and shows competing in the market. Less choice, fewer jobs making those choices. It's lose/lose for creatives and audiences both.

So when you read articles or see news pieces on how bad Hollywood is doing, it's not that people are consuming less—it's that Hollywood is making less and narrowing you all into watching the other stuff we're making. The saddest part is this impacts marginalized and young creatives first.

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.
