WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

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.

Does your room need someone ready for staff writer? Or how about support staff needs like WA & SC? I’m still on the job hunt & truly just eager to be in a room with awesome creative individuals. I’d love to be able to keep the lights on too & get to work/grow in a room! DM me! ❤️

Looking for my next gig!
I’ve been lucky enough to work in 11 writers’ rooms from mini-rooms with extremely talented showrunners to stuff you may have watched like Raised by Wolves, American Gods S2, Citadel, & THEM S2. Experienced as WA & SC.
Coming off of an Apple show & eager to keep working!

I’m writing more features too bc TV has obviously been tricky of late but still, being a part of a writers’ room is the magical creative alchemy I’m craving right now

All I want to do is make some TV, take care of my dogs, and see some movies with friends & folks I respect. Why is this so difficult? 🥲😭😅

I LOVE THE RINGS OF POWER I LOVE
IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT THANK YOUUUU TEAM ANTI GEN AI YAS BABY SHOW GO KEEP MAKING MIDDLE-EARTH WITH REAL ARTISTS WE LOVE TO SEE IT 😘🥳🫶

Netflix recently made headlines after using AI for VFX in its sci-fi series The Eternaut. So, of course, I have to ask you about the creeping use of AI.

I appreciate both sides of [the debate]. But the way the landscape is currently, using AI feels like you’re using the work of other artists. It’s like when you use Google to search for an image; I can’t then say, “I made that.” The tools that I’ve seen so far don’t yet give the artist enough control to own the creative, and I think that’s what copyright people are saying, too. It’s amazing what they can do, but for our show, it’s all man-made.

I’ve been having the opposite of imposter syndrome lately and it’s very weird.

This is more of my joke thoughts about the movie. Tremendous film about jealousy, yearning, duty vs. desire, and an ending I think I’ve seen aped by tons of movies that came afterwards. Bleak in how homoerotically coiled the movie is and how tightly wound Denis Lavant plays the protagonist.
