You know that all consuming love you feel when all you want is to be with that person and you don’t know what to do with yourself when you’re not around them? That’s not love, that’s attachment. Know what it feels like and get that shit out of the way before you turn 30.

Just a reminder that Japan has: * mentally ill people * Video games * Porn * Only 1.5% of the population being Xtian * Trans people * Violent movies * A population of 125.7 million * 2 people killed by guns all of last year * 0 Mass shootings It's the guns, stupid 1/n

one of my favorite little filmmaking moments in succession was when shiv went to kendall’s office after her town hall humiliation. the way the light reflected on the door made it look like she was opening a door to a free fall into the river, emphasizing further how she felt. https://t.co/NbvK1chD0d

V funny that there’s a whole genre of journalism that’s just “I met this extremely charismatic and persuasive conman and it turns out?? They’re great!”

Ok we all wanna bring back mammoths with cloning, but there are some weirdos I think we should also consider. PROCOPTODON: giant pug-faced kangaroo with forward-facing eyes. We think it walked instead of hopping. Early Australians met it & I want to feel what they felt https://t.co/a1pb7myo8K

I don't know how you can watch hundreds of people evacuating a mall with their hands up and convince yourself this is freedom. https://t.co/N8PTtppCRh https://t.co/CKrQNKX8Wa

Imagine how goddamn clueless and unserious of a reporter you have to be in 2023 —a decade after Elizabeth Holmes charmed her way into a $9B valuation for a fake magical box — to think: “You don’t know her like I do! 🥺” https://t.co/HYVXKcjOK5

The funnest thing is that the OG video is just a Japanese driver driving the slowest bus in existence but someone sped it up and added Cantonese cries for help on top of it,one of the best edits online of all time https://t.co/Y1uRBTWpRM

We're gonna end with a society that's very comfortable looking at writers and artists as fools who picked a foolish career who deserve whatever pennies they get.

When you've been told for DECADES, that an English major or liberal arts degree is worthless and everyone should "learn to code," yeah, we're gonna end up with a society that thinks what writers do is easy and shouldn't be valued and AI is the solution. It's all connected!

my contrarian opinion is that doing things you don't want to do is incredibly bad for you. all the advice that says to grind is bullshit you just end up teaching yourself that you don't value your intrinsic motivations, and over time those vanish, leaving you empty

So from now on when you hear "writer on set," you know to be picturing: rewriting, avoiding continuity errors, making a scene funnier or sadder or scarier. Helping the director guide performance and supporting actors so they can do their best work....

A writer on set isn't just getting experience for the future. They're not there because the showrunner is nice or doing them a favor. They are actively producing the show. This is true when the writer is new and learning fast, and quadruple-true when they are experienced.

See how much money a writer on set can save a production? Why it can be said that the cost of having them "pays for itself"? As for how much it actually costs per episode -- for simplicity's sake, since this thread's getting long: a lot less than $250k.

There are near-infinite "or"s that can pop up on the day. Or, one of your actors sprained their ankle and must be seated. Or, it's raining. Or, the location with enough floor space for the time machine fell through and there was no time to tech scout this one.

great day to share some of my fav pics of princess diana hanging out and shaking hands w AIDS patients at a time when the disease was so stigmatized, nurses would leave trays of food outside of patients’ rooms for fear of catching it via touch https://t.co/9Vxsb36v2k
