I think a thing we don’t talk about enough with AI is that by using it to replace entry level work, you are destroying the pipeline for new workers. You are destroying apprenticeships. People will not have the relatively safe ground they need to learn their business.

"Never bet against Cameron" has been a a battle cry for a quarter century now, but recently he's been advocating for replacing VFX artists with AI & advocating against a streaming company merging with a studio all to protect his massive budget alien fucking movies, and frankly it's fucking bullshit.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

This is a really good debate format for like 50 different reasons, but especially at this moment. There's a lot of equivocating over stuff that is not that complicated.

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release

NEW: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent Trump a letter and an invoice demanding the return of $8.6 billion taken from Illinois families after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal.

No cheating: your last saved pic of a celebrity is a therapist.

In other words, nothing will change. Corporations will stick to their prices, just like they did after 2022. They’ll still receive a taxpayer check, effectively screwing the people twice in the process.

We want our money back.

‘The game is rigged’ said Warren, who is the ranking member on the Senate banking committee. “Any refunds from the federal government should end up in the pockets of the millions of Americans and small businesses that were illegally cheated out of their hard-earned money by Donald Trump.” #Tariffs

NEW: As expected, SCOTUS invalidates tariffs. Billionaires don’t like it when you mess with the markets. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissent. Importers will now get refunds on costs they’ve already passed on to us, making the rich even richer.

Muhahahahahaha

*TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN BY US SUPREME COURT

Please call your congressperson and ask them if they know it’s actually their job to stop billions of taxpayer dollars from being funneled into make-believe boards of peace …and to stop the president from unilaterally declaring war …and to demand compliance with the Epstein files Transparency Act

I'm old enough to remember when Bill Gates was a smart Elon Musk and the great villain of the 90s, only to watch how, through philanthropy, he convinced Millennials that he was what a Billionaire should be. Watching the Billionaire class being torn down now and him with it over Epstein? Delicious.

State attorneys general could gum up a possible Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, a powerful defense against Trump's plans to control U.S. media.

Name a film you would call PERFECT. Any genre. #filmsky

First script submitted to StoryPeer in a while was claimed. Forgot how exciting and terrifying that notification is #Scriptsky

The Fall Guy was insufferable

In a sane world, this might be the only thing I have to be upset with Disney about. Sadly, it’s not even in my top 10 rants against Big Mouse.

Also trains, regenerative agriculture, 3D printing…

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I received a scam email posing as a script query, frightening in its accuracy and targeting. They even spoofed a real producer’s email address as a front. The only thing that revealed them was that they congratulated me for placing in the Nicholl (I didn’t). Writers, be extra careful #ScriptSky

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy. From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Reasons for preferring European tech vary; stronger data privacy protections are the most important factor in all 3 countries. Proton adoption & signups have significantly increased across Europe. Our survey sought to understand how recent developments are shaping views. 3/11

Jesse Jackson literally walked so Barack Obama could run. Jackson’s voice was needed then, and ran for president nobly and without compromise. Rest in power, sir.

Stephen is not going down without a fight!

We celebrate the legacy of Robert Duvall, a true acting legend whose work shaped generations. Twice honored with SAG-AFTRA Actor Awards, his influence on the craft will endure. Our thoughts are with his wife & all who loved him. https://www.npr.org/2026/02/16/1133879591/robert-duvall-dead-obituary

Frank Burns, Tom Hagen, Killgore... Duvall was the standout every time he appeared on screen. To me, he’ll always be THX1138. Thank you, Robert Duvall, for all those incredible movies.

Congrats to all! #Scriptsky #KillerShorts

I’m probably late to the trend, but I’ve noticed an increase in the use of lav mics in video content, and I can’t figure out why. It’s genuinely unsettling to see people handling what look like LEGO bricks instead of standard microphones.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

This would be, in every way, worse than a Netflix-WB deal. No point in preserving the integrity of the theatrical experience for a company funded by a right-wing ideologue. I don't believe there's a world in which Larry Ellison funds One Battle or Sinners. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/b...

First short submitted, first selection by @killershorts.bsky.social I like those odds! #ScriptSky

As an Economics major, I can only support those students for taking a stand. Economics education is outdated in many ways. Gatekeepers promote a growth-focused outlook that is disconnected from how the economy truly relates to everything else. This narrow perspective must end.

The Democratic Party is filled with ambitious politicians who lost their sense of urgency after Trump won. Pritzker did not talk about authoritarianism like someone who was trying to fundraise (obviously) or get attention. He talked about authoritarianism like someone who is haunted by its ghosts.

I never thought the only thing I would agree with Trump on would be Bill Maher.

Every person in this nation — regardless of immigration status — has the right to due process. We will defend that right with everything we've got. 📸 Scout Tufankjian

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes. The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters. Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The AI bubble is about to burst and they all know it. This is a hell of a read. www.threads.com/@thomaspatri...

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children. Recognised refugees. Denied the right to reunite with their children. It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied. So yes, he’s hated.

Oh! I know this one! As the saying goes “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” But what disturbs Conservatives is people different from them and what comforts them is being told they are right. Good art can never say "These people are just better; everyone else is wrong."
