I’ve spent a lot of time in comedy / variety and this offer isn’t the great “safeguard” it says. Any movement is nice, but the leaked deal fails to mention streaming residuals and it would still not cover game show and daytime writers. It’s all of us or nothing.

dear @djolder.bsky.social I am much enjoying your podcast with Brittany. Episode 2 on your publishing journey (s) was enlightening. https://linktr.ee/inkbottlepod

Sheree Renée Thomas has been a transformative editor at F&SF, publishing essential writers and stories. She doesn't deserve the problem she currently has to deal with there. But it doesn't surprise me that she has been forced to deal with it without publisher support. A thread. 1/x

SCOOP: The Kansas newspaper raided Friday by cops had been investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by the chief of police at his previous job. Read my full convo with Eric Meyer, publisher of the Marion County Record: https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper

This story is absolutely terrible, and everyone involved in the raid, from the judge who signed the warrant to the cops who executed it, and everyone in between, should—absent some MNight-in-his-prime twist at the end—be fired.

Keep in mind: not a single empirical cost-benefit analysis of policing measures costs like these, or any of the emotional or political/democratic costs associated w the raid. We don’t count any of these costs of policing (w one recent exception that measured some margins of abusive actions).

@djolder.bsky.social Brilliant. So damn good!

This NYT sub-header really irked me: "In her latest attempt to silence critics, VP Kamala Harris has sparred with Gov Ron Desantis..."

So I finally settled down (with tea and turkish delight!) to enjoy this first episode. I loved all the practical tips, but also the banter ("William Goldman who wrote the Princess Bride?" 😅).

Very excited to announce that the first episode of INKBOTTLE, a podcast on the creative life and parenting with me and my wife @brittanyacts.bsky.social , is now live wherever podcasts can be found. Links here: https://linktr.ee/inkbottlepod

*taps the sign* School libraries don't need you to donate copies of banned books. They need you to step up and run for the school board so the books don't get banned in the first place.

BlueSky needs trust & safety personnel — and its team needs to better reflect the communities it aims to serve, i.e. reality. This is BASIC in 2023. How is this not a part of Meeting 1, given that so many of us came here as an ALTERNATIVE to the bigotry and toxicity of Twitter? HOW? Do better.
