The binary mindset that we either get a Netflix/WB or a Paramount/WB is *completely untrue*. Warner Bros without its dying cable channels can be a profitable company, as it was this year. All of these merger offers are illegal, and state AGs can challenge them and win.

And then there’s a world here where movies like Sinners and One Battle After Another don’t even hit our biggest screens, or they do only in major cities on the coasts. Further instilling that the movies are no longer for everyone now, just those in the right place with money.

What confuses me is Holly Hunter is playing the head of the school, and Paul Giamatti is the villain of the season!!! I want to have hope based on their castings, but I know their talents are just gonna be wasted in teenage melodrama bullshit.

The flavor that you gain outweighs the risk!

We need to start instituting a test to root out any marks, that you take before you get a public facing job!

My cat used to do the same thing. As I remember being told by a vet, cats are really particularly about water because they could be carrying disease (outdoors obviously). So some want to drink out of glasses, because they see us drinking out of glasses, and we aren't getting sick.

I'll also add when I was searching now, I found Shut Up and Write offers free online group sessions. I am going to check them out today.

Oh yeah, thank you for the suggestion!I remember looking at them. I didn't feel comfortable with their sessions only being one on one. But if anyone has read this far and wants a free option, there you go!

Oh! Do you know any off the top of your head?

I know there is a cottage industry of co-working apps now, if you want options. And unfortunately most of them are subscriptions. But, if you can pay the yearly rate, focused space is one of the cheapest at $120.

I'm not in Austin, but if anyone is looking for groups elsewhere, I started using a virtual co-working site called focused space, this summer. It's probably not as fun as paying bills while drinking with friends, but I've found it to be helpful when I'm stuck getting started.

Wrestlers have tried to unionize in the past, but no effort has been successful.

This is exactly what happens to professional wrestlers. They are classified as independent contractors so in general gear, travel, health care etc. comes out of their pay check. Yet wrestling companies "bend" labor law, so many wrestlers are signed to multi-year deals while still contractors.

This post made me revisit Retaliation last year, and yeah did it all hit closer to home than it had any right too...

Steve Yedlin's "On Color Science for Filmmakers" was incredibly enlightening for me about this. It needs to be required reading in film school.

The Dodgers have no chill, despite having all the toys. Their sense of entitlement is unreal.
