Both seasons of Interview with the Vampire are on Netflix. One of the best literary adaptations in the history of television, it takes all the source material's strengths and transmogrifies all its weaknesses, like The Terror. Cruel, disgusting, sexy as fuck. Plus: Eric Bogosian! Do not walk, RUN.

Its crazy that the late night show format is dying out when podcasts are basically all filmed talk shows now that look like shit compared to late night productions and no skitz. (Or unions)

Happy to be the truth teller about that one writer who claims in their bio to have written on a show I actually did write for.

Hollywood is a small town disguised as a big city. That "harmless" lie about your credits or connections? Someone always knows someone who knows the truth. And when they find out, your reputation is toast. Build your career on solid ground.

Voting closes tomorrow at noon Pacific time. PLEASE don’t forget to vote. Every WGA election, turn out is dismal and this only hurts guild members. If you’re a lower or mid level TV writer, your vote matters now more than ever — we have NO representation on the BOD. Change that by voting!

Minoti Vaishnav @minotivaishnav.bsky.social · Sep 4

If you’re a WGA member — particularly if you’re a lower or mid level writer — I highly recommend you read all the candidate statements and VOTE in the WGA BOD election now. We need the board to look out for lowers and mids. Your voting credentials were sent via email. Writers, please vote!

You can ignore anyone who tells you "don't do X in your script because that's an editor/director/actor/sound dept. thing." They don't know what they're talking about.

Hooo boy yeah might have to stay off the socials today. I find myself having to tell myself that A LOT. Related: is social media a failed experiment because it triggers the basest instincts of our monkey brains? Discuss amongst yourselves.

Remember that playwright who went on a rant a couple years back on twitter about how TV writing was inferior? Yup, somebody gave that guy a TV show. Guess he's decided to slum it with us plebs.

Reading scripts from the 2024 Black List. There's such amazing writing on display. This is what I think about when people complain about Hollywood recycling ideas. Hollywood has limitless amazing ideas and talented people, just not always the will of giant corporations to fund them. #BlackList

I did the thing. Voted for my faves for Board at the Guild. But I gotta be honest, I feel weirdly detached since I'm not having luck staffing right now. Lordy I need to be in a room. 🫣🤮😭🤓🧛‍♂️
