WGA Statement on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix

The world’s largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Hollywood Has a Major AI Hype Problem Studio execs and major media outlets claim that AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over film and TV. The reality is much different.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose β€œno” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

A Television Writer Wonders: Is Writing for TV Over? TV writer Alex Levy has worked on everything from and "Grace and Frankie" to "The Mick," but wonders (and worries): where does the profession go now?

This. Writers have been telling the companies they broken the business. They need to listen. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Articulate an agenda that is actually for the working class and takes on corporate power and run with that every day forever

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.
