This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on @wearetheoverlap here piped.video/LyDL9EUIdy0
The immediate fear of AI isn’t that us writers will have our work replaced by artificially generated content. It’s that we will be underpaid to rewrite that trash into something we could have done better from the start. This is what the WGA is opposing and the studios want.
Word of the day is 'everywhen' (17th-century): always. Just because I find it beautiful.

so I have mentioned before that I enjoy reading books on magic (it is more of an interest than a hobby), and sometimes I see suggestions that apply to writing because in some ways magicians and writers are trying to do the same thing: lead, control, and surprise an audience
#DCStudios announcement will hopefully include: 1. Prometheus as a major villain 2. Superboy: The Covid Years 3. A Justice Society of America movie directed by Zack Sn... 4. A Starman movie (James Robinson's take) 5. The Flesh movie directed by David Cronenberg

Just finished rewatching. Stripped to the bone with some really inventive action.
Friedkin’s First Blood rules y’all. The Hunted is a film I rarely see discussed or praised, and I had forgotten just how stark, elemental, and razor-edge focused it is as a relentless chase thriller. Pointedly thematic, but always driven by momentum first and foremost

I'm intrigued by the difficulty of creating a morally decent yet dramatically compelling film character. Not a hero, or a savior, or a saint, but just a capable, grounded person who you don't have to give a dark side or some big affliction to in order to make them interesting.

If anyone's got Robert Eggers's ear can they ask him if he's planning on doing a Western?
