@BumpstockBarbie Saw this a while back, and thought it’d be incredible for an app to be able to do this for ANY book.

This Bill will likely get some democrats re-elected this fall, then it will die, nothing will change, but they will have fundraised on it, and taken more money from the people they claim to be “fighting for.” Obvious W.

BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren, with Reps. Jayapal and Boyle, just dropped the ULTRA-MILLIONAIRE TAX ACT. The bill creates a 2% wealth tax on $50 million households, and an additional 1% wealth tax on billionaires. It raises $6.2 TRILLION from just 260,000 households. Obvious W.

@SenWarren You don't need more money. You need more discipline.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@MayorOfLA Oh good. Make the stars even less visible. Because seeing the night sky isn't something that helps humans actually connect with the greater universe, or anything.

We’re making history and paving a path toward a brighter Los Angeles by installing 60,000 street lights citywide.

I have a high concept, low budget sci-fi feature, w/ a WGA/PGA nominated EP, a music EP who did Blade Runner 2049, a VFX EP who did Avatar, composer who did Moon Knight, and we’re still having issues finishing financing. Getting movies made is tough!

@MattMahanSJ "Blue no matter who" ruined this state. I'd be damned happy to see some blue leadership who understands that taxation isn't simply an ATM for the government.

It's just common sense. We shouldn't ask Californians to pay more until Sacramento does better. California already costs too much. Before we make it even more expensive with higher taxes, let's demand better. capitolweekly.net/before-sacrame…

Hmmm... so X is trying to push folks to Premium+ by moving "XPro" to that tier, huh? Sorry, @elonmusk ... but the multi-feed view isn't worth $25/mo extra.

@DannyManus “Big in China” is what I hear - and while I trust nothing that comes with that, I will say they have far more data than I do from which to make predictions.

Are verticals here to stay? Are they the booming future of short form content? Are they a way for writers & actors to break in & get credits? Or are they just a fad for the adhd brain that'll be gone in 2 years like yesterday's fidget spinner? I've heard vastly different takes this week.

Politician has to be the only job where you can get re-elected because of your belief system even when you’re doing a really, really bad job.

@spyderdobro My take is that any route can work, and none are guaranteed to. Festival Darlings that can find an audience, and among that audience, a distro or dev exec or team can certainly launch a new filmmaker. But winning a prize doesn’t necessarily mean what it did before.

What is your take on the film festival route in 2026? Still viable for launching new filmmakers? Or have tings changed too drastically?
