This is something I’m really excited about. I’m launching a substack for serialized fiction—where I’m going to publish episodes of a serialized thriller novel. Just like how Charles Dickens or Alexandre Dumas serialized their novels in the newspaper

in all the BARBIE discourse, i don’t see anyone talking about the female audience. BARBIE is opening to $155+ million!! we are a vastly underserved audience. we’re 51% of the population. the majority male executives think we don’t matter, don’t spend, don’t need to be marketed to

the “millionaires” out on the picket lines are fighting for their fellow workers who don’t have the leverage to get the big deals they do. they’re fighting for the future of the profession for all their fellow artists, for there to even be professional actors & writers soon

to me, the WGA’s number one priority is tying our fortunes to success. meaning, when a show or movie does well, we share meaningfully in that success. this is real residuals tied to transparent ratings on all platforms (not flat fees!). streaming is not new media. it’s not new!

i feel so disturbed by this. this is a long examination of the case against Adnan Syed by a leftist death-penalty lawyer who finds clear evidence Syed killed Hae Min Lee & has been wrongfully exonerated. True Crime has gotten a murderer released

Tweet card media

The Wrongful Exoneration of Adnan Syed Part I: A Straightforward Murder Case

A serious reexamination of this case must begin by setting out the evidence that led the jury to convict.

@BenWilsonTweets this is called being an asshole and a scab, strikebreaking and giving the finger to striking workers. you are one hundred percent not qualified to write one word professionally which is why you are relegated to narrating business case studies on a podcast or whatever you do

“your script just needs to be undeniable” is laughable horseshit. Star Wars was denied many times! none other than Francis Ford Coppola is self-financing his film *right now* because everyone in town denied making his next movie

IP puts them in charge. it makes the execs who were smart enough to buy IP rights the “authors” of the picture (rather than the pesky difficult artists) the more they can minimize artists & maximize their control (ie making IP rights the “author” of the picture), the more control

IP obsession has killed the mid-budget movie, it’s killed the movie star, and it’s coming for the rest of the industry. @JacobOller writes about the venture capital philosophy poisoning Hollywood:

wouldn’t any normal grown man be repulsed to stand in front of a naked 17 year old girl? much less film her in some kind of simulated sex scene no one prepared her for? these people are disgusting 🤢

Elon is a slow motion SBF. the SBF story feels more dramatic for a few reasons: - the collapse happened over a couple days - SBF literally stole customer $ (instead of pumping $TSLA off of fraudulent numbers & stories or selling them cars that literally kill them) and …

it’s so funny to me that all these tv writers are getting exposed as frauds who make up these 19th century style elaborately fake personal backstories they roll into town with and spin out in order to land … a writing job on a tv show? this is out of Henry James! class mobility!
