@moderna_tx I need to discuss your 2023-2024 vaccine trial urgently. Problem w/ local company you hired to secure test subjects. Who do I contact?

@moderna_tx — no answer?! You don’t care someone you hired to test your new flu/Covid vax urged a senior to cancel her vax appt to be in your trial, then didn’t call her to schedule until 1 November?! Booking her 11/17?!

"I don't think that this industry has ever really understood the value of what it is to use your body, your heart, and your mind as your product . . . maybe at this point being an actor could gain some more honor." The great @MaryMcDonnell10 @edwardjolmos Writers and actors are the creators of the content we love--not overpaid studio executives. Stand in solidarity with #SAGAFTRAstrike #WGA 👊🏼 abc7.com/hollywood-strikes-a…

Bob Iger is completely out of touch if he thinks the unions are the ones being unrealistic here.

NEW: 7 healthcare CEOs made $335 million last year - an 18% increase over the prior year's record. Meanwhile, 100 million people are saddled with medical debt, millions are being thrown off Medicaid & healthcare is now erased from the political discourse. levernews.com/the-system-mak…

Does anyone else sense the irony in the fact that the center of the low pressure causing todays deluge just about went right over the #NASCARChicago race course? As the rain continues to pour down across #Chicago

#NASCAR: “We want to try something new in an effort to draw in new fans, so we’re going to race on the streets of Chicago!” Mother Nature: “Oh that’s funny, how about no.” #NASCARChicago #NASCARChicagoStreetRace #nascar75 #RadarScope #FloodWarning

Would very much like to thank former mayor Lori Lightfoot and #NASCARChicago for scheduling a new 2-day outdoor event that has successfully broken our increasingly severe drought. The flowers thank you. The trees thank you. My garden thanks you. Too bad about the racing.

@netflix who cares what programming you have if your app crashes non-stop. I consider it a miracle the rare occasion I can watch 2 episodes of anything…

I’ve just spent 20min trying to resume @blackmirror - I’m paying nearly $20/mo for NOTHING. Please fix your platform!

I’ve lost count the number of times your app has crashed on my television the past 20min… and this happens EVERY time I try to watch something on your platform!

A Mom visits her son for dinner who lives with a girl roommate.... During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty his roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between him and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, his son volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, we are just roommates." About a week later, his roommate came to him saying, “Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver plate. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" He said ,"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure." He sat down and wrote: Dear Mother, I'm not saying that you ‘did' take the silver plate from my house, I'm not saying that you ‘did not' take the silver plate but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, your son. Several days later, he received an email from his Mother which read: Dear Son: I'm not saying that you ‘do' sleep with your roommate, and I'm not saying that you ‘do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the silver plate by now, under her pillow. Love, Mom. #614clinton

Writers are the driving force behind film and television; responsible for creating, writing, and producing thousands of episodes of scripted programming and hundreds of films each year.  @ChicagosMayor and the entire City stands with you @WGAWest & @WGAEast. #ChicagoIsAUnionTown – at Chicago, IL

This proud @sagaftra member & happy @Brandon4Chicago volunteer LOVES this! THANK YOU, Mayor!
Chicago is a proud union town. I stand in solidarity with @WGAWest & @WGAEast for their demands for fair pay & proper working conditions. We must stand behind our creatives who continue to enrich our lives through their art & support each other in times of need.

Here are some visual aids (and they are probably outdated):
The Lord of the Rings by Wes Anderson. The casting is perfect! Featuring: - Bill Murray as Gandlaf - Jeff Goldblum as Elrond - Willam Dafoe as Gollum - Owen Wilson as Sauron. (by curious_refuge on Reddit)

Needless to say, no @IATSE crew members, no @Teamster drivers, and no #DGA directors will be needed. At first these efforts will be run by software project managers, and eventually even they won’t be needed.

Addendum: Actors, you must have iron-clad protection against the AI use of your image and voice in the SAG MBA or your profession is finished. Demand it from @sagaftra and do not accept any AMPTP proposal that does not have it.

AI has to be addresses now or never. I believe this is the last time any labor action will be effective in our business. If we don’t make strong rules now, they simply won’t notice if we strike in three years, because at that point they won’t need us. 10/end
