"Instead of negotiating with us, Netflix decided to open an overpriced restaurant. Here's what we did in front of it. Starring the incomparable Adam Lustick, with concept and props by WGA writer Shawn Wines."
I love that Adam ruins everything has just slowly evolved into Adam explains how capitalism is a human meat grinder into which we are all slowly falling
god every so often I remember the Adam Ruins Everything wedding episode and feel my soul leave my body to Shriek in the void
from “Americans had weddings in filthy barns with like three people present, wearing drab clothes that wouldn’t show stains, until Queen Victoria wore a white wedding dress (that could only be worn once because of its color) to show off her wealth”
to “the DeBeers corporation invented THE CONCEPT OF ENGAGEMENT RINGS in the 1930s to sell diamonds”
Top 10 Twitter WGA members to follow for strike info!
While we will be sharing info on Tumblr, WGA members on Twitter is where a lot of our info comes from! This list is not exhaustive; feel free to suggest more in comments.
WGAWest and WGAEast are, of course, the gold standard. The real ones. The OG. (We're counting them as 1 for the sake of the list.)
WGA East vice president Lisa Takeuchi Cullen—you may know her as a writer on Law & Order: SVU.
Leverage & Librarians showrunner John Rogers is a true gem and a veritable fountain of good knowledge about the strike.
"Adam Ruins Everything" aka Adam Conover is a member of the WGA Negotiating Committee so he is quite literally on the front lines. He's very good at communicating what the WGA is striking for and why.
Sister writing team Shawna Benson & Julie Benson also have a Twitch to live-stream from the picket lines. Super informative and you can ask questions live! (You may know them from Star Trek: Prodigy and the 100.)
Caroline Renard is a WGA Strike Captain, which means she's out there organizing the picket lines almost every day. Excellent, informed tweets.
Kyra Jones is my favorite person right now—smart, funny, takes no bullshit. She worked on the shows Queens and Woke.
Another WGA Strike Captain to follow is Jonterri Gadson, who worked on Everybody Still Hates Chris and The Upshaws.
WGA Negotiating Committee Co-Chair David A. Goodman wrote for The Orville, Family Guy, and Star Trek: Enterprise.
And also part of the negotiating committee, Eric Haywood wrote for Manifest and Law & Order: Organized Crime.
