Say it!
if coogler looked like damien chazelle no one would question the studio deal given his record of hits.

fruitvale station: $17 million on a budget of $900K
creed: $173 million on a budget of $35 mil
black panther: $1.35 BILLION on a budget of $200 mil
bp2 2: $859 million on a budget of $250 mil
Ryan Coogler discusses his contract for #Sinners

“I’ve been in the industry long enough to know what kinds of deals are possible, and nothing about this deal is a new thing ... I asked for a few things for this project ... for what it was about and what it meant for my family"

It kills them to actually give artists a piece of something they made.
the sweaty desperation of Hollywood studios to try and find SOME way to spin “Sinners” as a flop to keep other artists from following Coogler’s brilliant example just looks more and more absurd with each passing day as we see what the actual numbers look like

If none of the current atrocities are affecting you on any level, congratulations. You're the 1%. If you don't think any of the current atrocities will eventually affect you, congratulations. You're in a coma. Stay there. You're probably better off.

This level of outrage or just stay home.
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The Americans should return to television. Think about it. They come back to THIS America.

Just putting this out there: if you want someone to read an article that you deem currently urgent or important, then please gift it if you can. Not everyone subscribes to The New York Times. It may be for financial reasons. It may be on principle, but not everyone can hop over the paywall.

The thing to understand about this is, this could be any one of us. Today it’s this man, tomorrow it’s someone else, and the world is watching. His presidency could end tomorrow and the world will not only not trust us for what he’s done, but not trust us for allowing him to do what he’s done.

Trump and his cronies sent Andrys, a gay Venezuelan man, to an El Salvador prison camp to be beaten with no due process. @timmiller.bsky.social responds with a message of action and fury.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

The essence of what’s at stake here.
I feel awful for every published author going thru this massive theft of their work by meta.

Like lots of screenwriters, every script I've written was scraped for AI training through those open subtitles files, and the rage is hard to really process.
