If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

to summarize the disney/kimmel situation

Highly recommended watch-- especially for folks who have only joined this merry chase in the last year or two. #Scriptsky #screenwriting

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

I expect he deserved it.

Flights have been halted to Copenhagen Airport after multiple drones were spotted over the Øresund Strait, Reuters reports.

Hang on, RAPTURE???? I think I've made an error here.

Voting closes tomorrow at noon Pacific time. PLEASE don’t forget to vote. Every WGA election, turn out is dismal and this only hurts guild members. If you’re a lower or mid level TV writer, your vote matters now more than ever — we have NO representation on the BOD. Change that by voting!

it would be political suicide to do it but like 60% of the developed world very badly needs a poltician willing to talk to them like adults and say “listen, you can let in Rahul to work and pay taxes, you can pay more taxes, or your pension can be cut. those are the options. you need to pick one.”

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

Hi. I want to write a book for kids. DOGMAN-esque. Comic book style, but in the smaller size that kids seem to eat up nowadays. I have written some sample chapters. If anyone knows an artist that has some time, I will totally pay. Just want to do a chapter and see how it goes.

Repost for Irish Film Classifications by Damien Owens, because it's just come up in FB memories and it's still *brilliant*.

that’s better

The ethics of extra-judicial killing aside--a phrase I never thought I would write--if these boats are really carrying drugs, why not capture one and unravel the entire drug network rather than killing the crew and destroying all the evidence?

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

always loved this photo because man she was not done justice lol

3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain. England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem. With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

Happy first day of autumn 🍂

Bit of insider news here; the gambling adverts are rationed per day, per channel, but if they mention their “gambling awareness policy” or “tools to help you stay in control” they don’t actually count as gambling adverts.

Beware the guard cat at Chartwell in Kent! Jock VII is the latest in a line of ginger felines to take up residence at Sir Winston Churchill's family home.

No, no...I think you misheard: The RAPTOR is coming this week. Still a cause for concern, I suppose. You could stay inside, but she can open doors. Clever girl.

Hey writers, stop fridging your female characters. It's shitty, it's hacky, and it shows your limitations as both a storyteller and a human. Be better.

Gemini: Take a vacation from your problems. Your assassin isn’t in a rush.

Rapture theology - that the holy will be beamed to heaven before a period of tribulation - is a concept younger than the steam-powered locomotive. It's neither widely accepted as a Christian doctrine nor widely believed outside the United States.

I realize not everyone knows this, but when the Canon Creators convened to invent science fiction they actually specified that the first word is an acronym of "Science, Chaos, Invertebrates, Extraterrestrials, Cats, and Entropy" and I for one think it's important the genre respect its roots

Happy birthday to J.R.R. #Tolkien’s The Hobbit, published #OTD in 1937, with a gorgeous dust jacket and illustrations by Tolkien himself! @tolkiensociety.org @tolkienwonder.bsky.social @uofgfantasy.bsky.social #Hobbit 🐉

The 3,000-year-old gold Shropshire sun pendant was dicovered in 2018. Crafted with incredible skill and decorated with intricate geometric patterns, it symbolizes the importance of the sun in Bronze Age society. As scientific analysis has indicated, the pendant...🧵1/2 📷 me #archaeology 🏺

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause
