If I hadn't seen all the articles, I frankly wouldn't have known the WGA was on strike. I watch so little TV that I haven't missed a single thing the whole time it went on.

In response to Christopher Bouzy.

I'm leary of AI as a general principle, and this is your site and I respect your choices. I think there are a lot of people uncomfortable with AI, especially given the recent strikes by WGA and SAGAFTRA regarding the use of AI in those industries.

Most people will have tentative deals waiting to go. Production will ramp up fast. I watched people getting to work and equipment being ordered the day the WGA deal was announced. AMPTP producers paid for studio and equipment rental during the whole time of the strike for fear of losing it.

“As soon as the strikes are over, everybody is going to want to go after the same five directors and four stars,” says one production chief. “It becomes a supply-and-demand question.”

mementos of a battle well-fought. truly one of the honors of my life to march alongside my scripty siblings. I’ll never forget the camaraderie and solidarity in the WGA line. I can’t wait to be in a room with every single one of you. 💜

a photo of my WGA strike paraphernalia: a red t shirt that says “Pencils the f*ck down”, a black t shirt that says “genre queen”, a blue t shirt that says “militant minority”, a blue cap that says “fists up, pencils down”, a yellow “strength in solidarity” Star Trek button, a red button that says “go teams”, a yellow button that says “I’m stepping on dicks all day”, a pair of WGA fist up earrings, and my custom picket sign placard that reads “transphobia is bad enough, I don’t need this shit too” with a frowny face

Happy for the WGA but there are still many areas vulnerable to AI greed

FYI: The VSOD platforms are going to hike their prices. This is a continuation of their money grab. Don't fall for the gaslighting & blame the WGA or SAG!

I was graciously referred to a producer during the #WGAstrike about Billy Shakes Is Out for Royalties. Just sent an email, fingers crossed for a meeting.

Billy Shakes is coming for all the royalties he’s owed by the producers, a fun fever dream of a film noir exploitation film.

Billy Shakes Is Out for Royalties a film by David August [drawn image of Billy Shakes aiming a gun] He that dies pays all debts.

As I learn about the new WGA contract, 1 take away is that us Writers can get bonus' as our shows on streaming reaches certain marks, yet the caveat is "paying subscribers" which means, piracy def is more personal now & glad Netflix shut down sharing of passwords etc. #strikeisover #WGA
