you fire right back at them and you FIRE RIGHT AWAY.

RFK Jr is a ghoul. He is a freak. This is heartbreaking.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Huh. So first the WGA forced writers to fire our agents (criminals! cartels! thieves!), destroyed many careers, especially new writers breaking in. Now they want to *help* you with an agent list? How many of you lost your agents during the Great Firing? (I didn't, but been around awhile.) #scriptsky

Heads up, writers!

Fascinating history lesson in Yashar's thread.

1. An incredibly rare Gustav Klimt painting, which was stolen by Nazis before eventually landing in the collection of Estée Lauder heir Leonard Lauder (who was Jewish), sold at Sotheby’s tonight for a record $236,360,000 (hammer of $205,000,000 plus premium).

If you see *that* thing you must read *that* thing. But why was he with her and why did he stay with her? Maybe that's in PART 2. 🧐 #RyanLizza #OliviaNuzzi

Every time I get a brain MRI scan the doc says “everything looks perfect, see you in three weeks”

If the Dems agree to this I am OUT. And believe me, I am taking a whole lotta women with me. We need a third option and it has to be serious and progressive and for god's sake just fuckin' stand up for us. #ACA #filmsky

joyce carol oates and elon musk are the social media avatars of the true fearless poster and the sniveling reply guy lol

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Will The Great British Baking Show (#GBBO) ever show us the actual baking, do you suppose? The editing this season was insane. And who's positioning the cameras? It can't be that hard, how many seasons have they had to figure it out? Aggro! (Yay for Jazzy tho.!) #tvsky

Hey! #TheAsset on #Netflix is terrific! It's Danish (I like Danish shows, great acting), incredibly tight, a nail biter. Clara Dessau is beautifully withheld, mysterious. Very compelling. Hope there's more to come. #scriptsky #tvsky #amwriting

John Dickerson is a classy, lovely person, one of the great newsmen. I hope now we can make the film I wrote about his trailblazing mother Nancy Dickerson (also a journalist!) for #Showtime and #StephenColbert. #movies #scriptsky #moviesky #filmsky deadline.com/2025/10/cbs-...

Rebecca Miller's doc series #MrScorsese on Netflix is a stunner. Unflinching. Marty, Thelma, directors, actors, writers reveal high points and very low. Surprising revelations. Process. Art. Ambition. The toll it takes. This one's for cinephiles. Highly recommend. #scriptsky #moviesky #amwriting

It probably doesn’t matter but I would be flooding the zone with images of the White House destruction right now.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Hey WGA members of #scriptsky #filmsky. If you have dependents on your guild health plan be alert for a (legit) hard copy letter from PDA Verification Company. They demand proof that the spouse on your plan is really eligible. Reply by end of Oct! (Perplexing. It's like being accused of a crime.)

On set in Prague with The Zookeeper's Wife, I discovered that the actor who "heard" me precisely the way I meant my writing to be heard (and spoken) was the Belgian actor Johan Heldenbergh, for whom English is a second or third language. Thrilling! You never know who's going to get you! #scriptsky

Writing for an actress (or actor) who gets you is a pas de deux. It makes you better. This is lovely. #scriptsky #DianeKeaton and #NancyMeyers

For all you Jack Reacher fans out there. (The comments are *excellent.*) #tvsky

In shock. I pitched a film to Diane, to direct, some years ago, in a chaotic Beverly Hills restaurant. She wore her bowler hat and a beautifully tailored leather vest. Impeccable. She was so smart and so kind. RIP to a queen. #DianeKeaton #moviesky #scriptsky variety.com/2025/film/ne...

PSA for #scriptsky #moviesky: Beware the rep (I guess? is he real?) from an AI company (?) out of Switzerland/LA (?) who writes a friendly email directly to your inbox as if you just spoke recently (you did not), trying to get you to link and join and pay. It's scammy. Delete it. #amwriting

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

Gotta love David Simon. #screenwriting #scriptsky #tvsky (Studios/agents/producers are already using AI for script coverage, and some for notes. Writers are using it to help in development. I hated it. But an AI script service give me high scores, and that told me something useful.) #amwriting

Welcome to the battle field! A thread!

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:

This is extraordinary. So much love for this woman. (Listen to her message!)

The saddest news. Jane Goodall has died. I tried for many years to make a film about her, it just never happened. An extraordinary person, an extraordinary life. May she RIP. #JaneGoodall #filmsky #scriptsky #amwriting deadline.com/2025/10/jane...

3. Dr. Goodall’s discovery redefined what it meant to be human. Her work shattered the barrier we thought separated us from the rest of the animal kingdom and revealed that intelligence, creativity, and culture are not ours alone but are shared across the living world.

Independent films are most often financed by foreign pre-sales. Every studio film is distributed in foreign territories. How the hell does Tr*mp intend to "100% tariff" foreign financed films?? He will kill the industry, esp independent production. He is a ruderless boob. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Insanity.
