The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In 1919, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith started their own studio. They had discovered a possible merger of the distributors and felt forced to start their own production and distribution company, so they could control their financial and artistic interests.

Is it just me or does @minister-president.bsky.social seem to behave more like the King than a prime minister to you too? He visits Shell, Engelen, the wildfire in Venray, etc... and posts about it similarly to how the Royal Family would, rather than a prime minister who can and should take action.

BBC Writers’ Pilot programme exists to identify outstanding emerging television writers and give them the support, time and industry connections to realise their potential. Every two years a group of writers are partnered with independent production companies for between a year and eighteen months. Throughout the duration of the programme, the writers attend masterclasses and workshops with established television writers and production teams while developing and writing their pilot script commission. The aim is that the writer’s series or serial will subsequently be taken into full development by the BBC.

For 2027/28 we're delighted to be focusing the programme exclusively on emerging deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent writers, whose voices are vital to the future of television drama in the UK.
