In preschool, we had a new worksheet every day where we traced letters. On the day we had the letter V, I finished in like 10 seconds so I wrote V’s all over the page to keep practicing while I waited for everyone else to finish. I got an F because that wasn’t the assignment.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Realtor keeps showing me my nearly ideal house. And it’s only $2.3M! That’s just $1.1M more than it sold for in 2022… Is this still the American dream? Because I think I have perpetual insomnia.

If you're a pre-union actor and you're unsure about whether or not joining SAG-AFTRA is for you, there is a Future Member Fridays meeting 2/7 in-person in LA to answer any questions/concerns you may have. It's NOT meant to persuade, only to educate. DM for info! #UnionStrong

It’s a lovely feeling to read back over character bios and character arcs you haven’t read in a while and getting emotional about the discovery they’re going to go through. So what if it’s a crazy expensive show? I’d watch it. #scriptsky

"It's going to get so much worse." "You won't like what comes next." "Enjoy the..." Shut. Up. Increasing the overall feeling of doom is op shit, even if you're not an actual op. We already know. All you're doing is increasing feelings of helplessness and making it harder to act.

Don’t tell anyone, but the real reason I want to be a writer or director on set is so that I never have to wear a walkie again.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

I’m not a fashionable person, but a costume designer complimented me on my outfit today and someone in art department commented that my color coordination was always on point, and I’m just going to focus on those things and not the bad stuff that happened today.

Please spread the word that GoFundMe campaigns set up to fundraise for wildfire-related support should NOT use the word “rebuild” in their headlines or anywhere in their campaigns. It may affect the amount of support they receive from FEMA. www.fema.gov/node/if-i-re...

Did you know the National Archives needs help transcribing their archives? It took me 5 minutes to do one page. It feels great and is most importantly, not an AI process! Info here: www.archives.gov/citizen-arch...

The fires aren’t even completely out yet and already people are trying to use to this disaster to get rid of their political opponents. Probably the same people who used their wealth not to help the city they claim to care about, but to divert resources to protect their own home and property only.

A fun thing you can do is pop onto Zillow, look at all rentals in a random chunk of the greater LA area, sort by recently changed, then check every price increase to see if it was more than 10%. If there's no obvious changes (didn't go from unfurnished to furnished) then report it for price gouging.

Titmouse Animation (TAG) animates The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime for Critical Role. Many of their employees have lost everything. They have created a table (t.co/RErcD9Xa3B) of GoFundMe links for their employees. If you are looking for a way to help, they could sure use it.💔

If you think you can bring down a city of people who subsist on rejection, overcome struggles daily, and juggle a dozen side jobs to make the impossible possible, think again. We will survive.
