How many times did the House GOP repeal Obamacare, knowing it would die in the Senate, or Obama would veto it? They did it to push their agenda and motivate the base. It showed the electorate what they would do if they were in power. It worked in securing seats.

I haven’t worked in production in years, but this makes a ton of sense.

Color revolutions were a rejection of Soviet fascism. It's telling Schmitt uses Soviet language to describe the situation and that he equates MAGA with the totalitarian government.

Someone needs to take video of the horrendous effects of these preventable diseases and release the footage. People do not understand how horrible measles, whooping cough, polio, and others are. They need to see it. Yes, it would suck to exploit a child's pain, but it would save countless lives.

I think the biggest tell on AI is how hard they are pushing it. No one had to convince us to adopt electricity, word processors, Google, or smart phones. All of the tech we use everyday was an obvious upgrade. If AI was so great we wouldn't need to be convinced.

It's sad these people fight against everything that actually makes America great.

#screenwriting #scriptsky #miltarywriting This post triggered a long thread about consulting a service member when you're writing about the military. I'm happy to assist any writer with a read or answering questions about military issues.

They remade Amadeus. The original is a perfect film. It's one of the best films ever made. There's nothing that needs improvement nor revisited. youtu.be/iGZTJnnQ8fo?... This is a stupid waste of money and time.

It's honestly scary that I think American being controlled behind the scenes by Putin is a better choice than Peter Thiel pulling the strings.

Tommy Lee's open letter to shitler. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CQq...

Every time I read about Trump lawyers actually in court, I feel like I'm more qualified just by nature of having watched the entire Law & Order first 20 seasons box set.

We were all waiting for this obvious next step.

This made me laugh out loud. Also, Roy is extremely cute.

When the Cheney's, Taylor Green's, Rogan's, and Musk's of the world turn on the regime and start attacking and asking questions, it's not the time to remind the world they are deplorable. You don't have to praise them or embrace them. Just say nothing and let them eat each other.

I'm eavesdropping on two Canadians arguing whether Madden should have a CFL division. One of them contends it wouldn't work because the rules and field dimensions are different, and the CFL teams would be at huge talent deficit against NFL teams. The other is delusional.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

#scriptsky This is a perfect meet cute.

I'm watching a cooking show in Canada. The host used 227 grams of mushrooms. She commented that was a weird number, but that's what a standard container holds. She had no idea why they chose such a random number. It's not random. It's a cup.🙄 How does a professional chef not know this?

Honestly, it feels a lot like Democratic leadership is punishing the country for electing Mamdani.

The entire first half of The Godfather takes place at Christmas (everything until Michael is in Italy.) So, according to the Die Hard Axiom, The Godfather is a Christmas movie.

I know everyone is happy with the election results, but the fact that Michael Burry is betting $1.1 BILLION against AI companies is probably a much bigger reason for celebration. finance.yahoo.com/news/markets...

I think my San Francisco and San Diego friends are way more upset with the World Series than my Canadian friends.

I abhor this movie all holidays to the weekend bullshit.

Night Shift is one of the most underrated comedies of the 80's. It's remembered as Michael Keaton's manic breakout. But it only works as a movie due to Henry Winkler's steady straight man. Totally worth checking out.

I will not stand for this Richard Dawson ERASURE! #freesteveharvey

#baseball, #MLB absolutely gets one thing right. A 7 game series should be 2-3-2. It gives the home team a bigger advantage, meaning late regular season games can mean something. It condenses the timeline--intrest can wain over a much longer 2-2-1-1-1. 2-3-2 is just a superior format.

How did they remake #runningman and not cast #SteveHarvey as the host? This is the worst missed stunt casting/nostalgia grab/homage/inside jokes EVER. #richarddawson

If one more woman tells me to tie my shoes, I swear I’m going full MRA and loudly demanding every female smile at all times.* *I’m not really going to do this, but women please stop commenting on my clothing. I’m 55. I know my shoe laces are loose and my sweatshirt cuff is fraying. It’s a choice.

A very general military rule is if you can neutralize 10% of the enemy’s leadership, they become combat ineffective. If Sinaloa lost 171 “high ranking” members, it would be in chaos and essentially cease to exist.

Is it wrong that I was disappointed when I read the article and didn't see, "infected with the rage virus?"

Lincoln's refusal to destroy the Confederacy and punish the perpetrators is the reason we are in our current situation. I have never understood the Lincoln reverence.

Watching Prime's new romcom, Maintenance Required. It's a remake of Shop Around the Corner, but they don't credit the Shop or the play it's based on. Same plot. Mimics key scenes. A character even says, "Shop Around the Corner." How did they get away with it? #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

One of my biggest pet peeves is people insisting martial arts are only Asian fighting arts.

Reposting because people need to know.

Hey why haven’t I seen a joint press statement from every blue state governor promising to cooperate and coordinate against the explicitly declared invasion of our cities by the US military? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social ? @govpritzker.illinois.gov ? @governorwalz.mn.gov ?

Hey why haven’t I seen an all-hands press conference from democratic leadership saying the president must be impeached for threatening to use troops on US citizens? Like why aren’t 25 key Dems in a room right now with every camera in the country? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? @schumer.senate.gov ?

I just found this hilarious thread.

One of the greatest pieces of art of the 20th Century, probably of all time.

I just saw the latest Platonic. If the episode isn't a backdoor pilot for The Mister Darcy Mysteries, I'm not sure if I even want to be on this planet anymore.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

There's a ton of buzz about Peacock's Office spinoff the, The Paper. If you like it, please check out Tim Key in The Ballad of Wallis Island. He's hilarious and co-wrote one of the best movies in a really long time.

Dear publishers: Hello! Wanted to say I’m a little tired of dark academia novels set in Ivy League schools and would love to edit an anthology of dark academia set in universities across the world, in local community colleges, and online. I have a PhD and everything! Let’s talk.

You're welcome! youtu.be/fVCXtNarsC0?...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Literally you can put every last scientist that was fired by this administration on TV to talk about how they are no longer saving American lives. You can do this for MONTHS.
