Hi, my name is Mark. I live in #Hollywood and work in #LosAngeles. I walk and use public transit (or if I must, rideshare). Drive? Own a car? I don't. Even before the fires. I'm not a carbon credit. Just an Eagle Scout. But I do accept donations. #actorslife #STAYinLA www.imdb.com/name/nm4432222

"federal officials have been raising concerns about an overtaxed and understaffed air traffic control system for years" remains my chief concern. READ my recent article "Trains Not Planes", link in comments. #aviation #disasters #flying #plane #flight apnews.com/article/plan...

A former director at Meta filed a lawsuit against the company earlier this week. Kelly Stonelake alleges sex discrimination and harassment.

Last week: lol that guy looks like Jim Rome This week: I guess the union of Jim Rome and Kenny G is the last hope for democracy

I look like that distant nephew of Burt Reynolds. The pleasant enough one that works at the mortuary. But is well regarded at the bowling alley. Despite his moments Walter Sobchak energy. #actorslife #writerslife

So the tariffs lasted like 1/16th Scarmuccis. Got it.

My profession is not a hobby or a fetish. Working as a union screen actor or an improv comedy performer is no more a privilege than working at a restaurant, a construction site or a tech company. If one qualifies & can do the work, a living wage is deserved. At the very least. Period. #actorslife

Use of #ArtificialIntelligence or #AI steals from creatives. Taylor Swift, Stephen King & Sarah Silverman can afford attorneys. Non-celebrities like me cannot. Use #AI or #LLMs? Where's my #ArtistBasicIncome? Make it right. #actorslife #writerslife #ChatGPT #OpenAI www.patreon.com/markromanemp...

Hollywood continues to have a #YouCantSitWithUs" problem. After the strikes and the fires, it's less. But it remains. Unpaid auditions. Self-tape burden on actors. Hiring non-union. Sky-high rents. Predatory landlords and employers. Not asking to be cast. Just 4 some help.

On vacation? Driving your second car? Spent more than $100 on lunch? Have a retirement plan? Have awesome health care? Could Venmo family or a close friend $500 right now if they asked? Bought something cute on Rodeo Drive? Watch this. On repeat. And become better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx86...

I do create. Instead of earning money, I've been writing. Much of yesterday. And now the last 2.5 hours. Stop telling artists like me to "find a way" to create. That's abusive. Listen to Chappell Roan. Start donating to our Artist Basic Income crowdfunds. So many of you can. #writer #artist

We need #ArtistBasicIncome NOW! Chappell Roan at the Grammys called on record labels to provide a #LivingWage and #HealthCare for vulnerable musicians. #music #LoveTheArtist In the meantime, we can crowdsource: markromanempire.substack.com/p/artist-bas...

Why must we subscribe to #ArtistBasicIncome? Grammy winner Chappell Roan explains: youtu.be/Rx86h_KXk48?...

Perfectly captured.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

How does shrinking the stock market Make America Great? www.cnbc.com/2025/02/02/s...

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

here’s a thing!

I promised some historical background relevant to the implication that "DEI" had played a role in Wednesday's tragic accident in DC. Since today is the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth, it's time to lay this out. So, herewith a 🧵 on just what it took to integrate commercial aviation in the 1st place.

Don’t worry, the youth stealing all the data weren’t DEI hires.
