To be PERSONAL for a moment, my journalistic ambitions have always been a bit less lofty than "hold power to account" or "expose injustice". I just wanted to crack people up. I'm grateful there was a place that let me try to do that alongside smart people doing the other stuff.

Today is the last day for BuzzFeed News, the site will freeze and archive tonight (old articles won't delete, don't worry). When we found out we were shutting down 2 weeks ago, I assigned myself one last incredibly stupid thing.....

This was a real treat. I got to talk to the actors who play Dani, Isaac and Colin on all together! Loved this chat about Dani's love for tulips, Colin's important S3 storyline ... and what the world of Ted Lasso teaches us.
Full interview:

PSA: The WGA strike may mean that novelists & authors get approached for screenwriting. While this may seem like a perfect opportunity, please note that the WGA does strongly enforces its right to prevent non-members who have engaged in scabbing from ever becoming members.

FNL isn't just a show famously wrecked by the '07 writer's strike, it also shows why writers are going on strike now
Did you watch FNL when it was on TV? Probably not! You streamed it. I streamed it! It's probably made hundreds of millions for Netflix. Writers get none of that

The current state of TV has many writers, myself included, feeling a lot of ways about the industry.
So, a short, personal story.
I landed a dream gig last year. Writers’ assistant on my dream show. I promptly lost it when the show got canceled halfway through the room.

if you’re the daughter, 1) i’m sorry i know all of this about you
2) the likely reason she tells this story to strangers is to end it with “now she’s got a great career and he works a crappy job outside of baton rouge”
3) we’re both rooting for you

that’s not to say women didn’t disagree with me, but their tone was usually more “I disagree with you and here’s why” as opposed to “you should be physically harmed over how you feel about a racist cartoon”
