I'm a film & TV director, notably on episodes of FROM (MGM+) and TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES (The CW). I have 12 TV episodes and 4 feature-length projects under my belt and I really hope that isn't the end of it, so if you know of shows hiring, please let them know I welcome their consideration!
What a bounty there will be for art appreciators who can't get enough of victimization fetish fantasies run through GenAI, with instructions for extra slurs, of course.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.
It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.

They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Jury nullification. Learn it, live it.
Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

This is kind of specific, but I really want the judge to end this trial by sweeping his papers off the bench in frustration and then telling everyone to get the $#@!%& out like he's in a BLOOM COUNTY comic strip.
A ballistic vest meant to stop a bullet “is definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich thrown at you," Sean Dunn's defense attorney argued.

Am I understanding this post correctly that more registered Republicans than registered Democrats voted in the NYC election, but Mamdani prevailed with the volume of "third-party" voters?
while the story in Virginia and New Jersey was heavily one of relative turnout, with far more votes than usual coming from liberal areas, this was not the case in New York
Republicans showed up in pretty clearly greater numbers than Democrats, motivated to beat Mamdani
but they didn't

I'm always anxious about early election calls, obviously because of Bush v. Gore, but also because as an ex-warehouse employee, I can't help but picture a box someone missed getting jammed into a corner that turns out to be full of Cuomo votes or something.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.
Reporter: Today is election day in New York City. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: Look, I voted. And I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City.

I've always maintained that this job can be the keys to the kingdom if you do it right. I've seen the examples of what's possible in real time. Not just a path to writing, but directing, producing, any job you may wish to have on a TV show.
Showrunner's Assistant is one of the most underrated paths into TV writing. Everyone fixates on Writers' Assistant, but SA roles often offer more career stability month-to-month and direct access to the person making staffing decisions. Don't sleep on this route.
