On July 2nd, Paramount agreed to settle a baseless lawsuit brought against 60 Minutes and CBS News by President Trump for $16 million. On July 15, during a regular show of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Colbert went on-air and called the settlement a “big fat bribe” in exchange for a favorable decision on the proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance, a charge currently under investigation in California. Less than 48 hours later, on July 17, Paramount cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a show currently performing first in its timeslot, giving vague references to the program’s “financial performance” as the only explanation. For ten years, the show has been one of the most successful, beloved and profitable programs on CBS, entertaining an audience of millions on late night television, on streaming services and across social media. Given Paramount’s recent capitulation to President Trump in the CBS News lawsuit, the Writers Guild of America has significant concerns that The Late Show’s cancelation is a bribe, sacrificing free speech to curry favor with the Trump Administration as the company looks for merger approval. Cancelations are part of the business, but a corporation terminating a show in bad faith due to explicit or implicit political pressure is dangerous and unacceptable in a democratic society. Paramount’s decision comes against a backdrop of relentless attacks on a free press by President Trump, through lawsuits against CBS and ABC, threatened litigation of media organizations with critical coverage, and the unconscionable defunding of PBS and NPR. The Writers Guild of America calls on New York State Attorney General Letitia James, no stranger to prosecuting Trump for illegal business practices, to join California and launch an investigation into potential wrongdoing at Paramount. We call on our elected leaders to hold those responsible to account, to demand answers about why this beloved program was canceled and to assure the public that Colbert and his writers were not censored due to their views or the whims of the President. We call on our elected leaders to hold those responsible to account, to demand answers about why this beloved program was canceled and to assure the public that Colbert and his writers were not censored due to their views or the whims of the President. In the meantime, the Writers Guild of America will support our members at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and across the late-night industry as they speak truth to power and we will explore all potential legal and political avenues to fight for our members in the aftermath of this decision.

It’s an audio production, which in some ways is quite freeing. Sometimes I have a clear idea of what gender (if any) a character will be, other times it depends on who gets cast and what they decide to do with the part. Sometimes I construct the character around the actor.

Third question: in what ways do your characters subvert labels or binaries? Have they ever subverted expectations? Do you, or will you, have any nonbinary or agender characters?

My original idea for that character was pretty one dimensional. But I got thinking about who I wanted to play the part and how brilliant they would be. And they’re NB.

And that got me to rework things, which gave the character far more substance.

(And yes, this is part 3 of a two part reply. 😐 )

My world is the last inhabitable world in a dead universe. They get invaded a lot.

They treat all “invaders” kindly, give them all a framed certificate of surrender, hold a victory parade and shout “hooray,” then get on with finding them somewhere to live.

Turns out that’s all most of them want.

Second question: In what ways do your worlds subvert categories? Are your cultures rigid and classified or do they leave space for and celebrate difference?

I’m late, but I want to join in!

Usually for laughs. For example, my protagonist confidently imposes completely random binaries on the world around him.

“There two kinds of animal: fish and arachnids!”

When he gets proved wrong, he updates his categories. But updating his thinking takes… longer.

Happy International Nonbinary People's Day, #LateNightWrite! Our first question is: how do you subvert the various boxes, labels and binaries in your own writing? Do you set out to do so?

I’m writing something! It’s fiction. It’s funny. It’s a podcast. It’s @whatlittle.bsky.social. And it’s not out yet.

I’ve started this account to talk about the frustrations, grind and sheer joy that come from creating something yourself. Even if it takes a while.

If you’d like to support me and the game, I have a thread of the 15+ reviews (!) that praise the voice acting in the game, especially mine!
They all have less likes than this post, so I’d love to get the positive ones out there instead!

...Rather than devolving into melodrama, Sally Beaumont's understated performance is uncomfortably real—you can feel Fia's composure and experience as she tries to move on, but also her weariness, and the cracks snaking across the surface of the walls she's been maintaining for all these years.”

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

Don't let him be forgotten.

It is hard to adequately explain to explain to an AI evangelical how fundamentally stupid this is. It’s fundamentally impossible to get one to simply admit it.

However horrifying the impact of smartphones, however evil the Tates of this world are, what shocked me most was how every single person was not in control. How every single person, even Erin Doherty's brilliantly played psychologist, seemed ready to scream at the futility, their lack of agency.

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.
