New email from the WGA today. Glad to see them finally recognizing that it's a MASSIVE problem that our health/pension caps haven't been raised in 20 years.

But it would have been nice to have gotten this obvious need taken care of when we were on strike....

TRAIN DREAMS just devastated me.
It may be my favorite of the year.

Dear algorithms,

When my sports team loses, I do not desire 48 hours of posts and push notifications and replays and analysis about how it's really super bad that they lost.

A large percentage of the Oscars' existing audience has no idea how to watch YouTube on their TVs and aren't the type to watch a 3 hour show on their phone or computer.

I'm assuming that the Academy thinks this will bring in younger audiences, but...

Just finished WAKE UP, DEAD MAN. Really fun and great and... maybe the best political movie of the last decade?

WGA Health Fund Lost $122 Million in Two Years, as Negotiators Aim to Bridge Gap The WGA health fund is facing rising costs and declining revenue, leading to a staggering $122 million deficit over two years.

The per-project cap on health plan contributions hasn't been raised since 2004(!).

A writer can work YEARS on a project, but not a dime over the 250k income cap triggers any health contributions or coverage eligibility.

Obviously and painfully overdue as a regular adjustment tied to inflation.

No one can compete with Mocha. We're just lucky we got out of there before the paparazzi found us!

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

WGA CANDIDATES NIGHT is tonight at the WGA THEATER (not the headquarters). Please consider attending if you’re a member. You’ll get to hear from all the people who want to run your union (including me).

Wednesday, Sept 3
6:00 p.m.

Writers Guild Theater
135 S. Doheny Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Off to make some TV!

Ten years! Time flies impossibly fast!

If history is any lesson -- don't complain about anything in a WGA survey that you aren't willing to go on strike for / fire your reps over / burn your own house to the ground about.

Daily crashes. I can't run back to Fade In soon enough.

Also, no matter what you click, it crashes. So I do appreciate that it gives the appearance of there being a way to fix things.

Never have so many words been used to express so little helpful information.
