Ai, getting inanimate machines to commit crimes and claiming it’s got nothing to do with you. Rod Hull was pulling that shit back in the eighties.

If you’re a TV writer (or doing any collaborative creative job) you will encounter problems in other people’s work. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is about THE THREE WAYS OF DEALING WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S ISSUE. Two options will lead to more problems and one will keep you employed.

I realise I mostly post about my kid these days, with the occasional jab at AI. But also, I think if you spent any significant amount of time with a child, you would see how innate creativity is to us as a species, how crucial it is to our humanity, how nothing could even come close to that.

the Black Panthers were right

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Sorry, but I'm going to get real annoying about this. If you're an Irish artist/creative, this survey only takes a few minutes to do. As mentioned by Ian Fay, this is getting brigaded by far right types over on X, and we need to drown them out.

Oisin McGann here provides a very clear and beautifully articulated analysis of the life and challenges of a professional creative artist, and makes it abundantly clear why a Universal Basic Income (for everyone, not just artists) is the intelligent solution. Well worth the read.

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

This report should break something in all of us. 15,613 children. The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0. 26% were under the age of 5

Screenshot from an article that reads

On Monday, the ministry published a list of names of 15,613 children under the age of 18 who it said had been killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Among them, 890 children were under the age of 1, and 274 were born and died during the war. Almost a quarter, 26%, were under the age of 5.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to PEACEFULLY show the world their plight. They walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza in peaceful protest. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 in total injured.
