I converted to Judaism 20 years ago. I get why Israel’s leveling Gaza—Hamas hides among civilians. I don’t like it, but I understand the logic. But don’t tell me you can strike Iran with precision and avoid civilians, yet not in Gaza. That’s not ending a war—it’s ending a people.

Perhaps I'm a step slow, but spending $300M on an election to end up down $30B less than six months later doesn't scream 200IQ move to me.. anyone thinking this ? ;

Wes Anderson has fallen too far into the stylistic aspects of what what he does. 
The best way I could describe it is Wes Anderson is an analog photographer , writing Instagram captions in screenwriting form.
and I LOVE WES ANDERSON. But he has lost his grip on how humans interact #scriptsky

Took me 42 years, but I’ve cultivated a healthy fear around approaching me wrong or unprepared. People don’t bring chaos or half-baked plans or ideas anymore.
I genuinely love that.
I genuinely hope I could translate that to my children lol

Telling screenwriters it’s fine to “just write” feels wildly irresponsible right now.
If you want your project made—short or feature—you have way better odds learning to produce or direct. Script comps aren’t the path anymore. That era’s over. #scriptsky

Producers with no skill at excited for AI because now the skill they don’t want learn but make money off of is easily accessible.
I have no problem with AI. It has its uses but I was just emailed an AI generated script to “rewrite” for my normal fee who passed it off as his own. Smh
