Neil Gaiman: Hi, I'm Neil Gaiman. I'm wearing the first red T-shirt I've worn since 1987. Because I'm a member of the WGA. I'm on strike. I care so much for the things that I've written but I'm out here right now not working and here until we get a good contract because I care about the future of the WGA, the future of young writers. I want a world in which no AI writes scripts or attempts to. I want a world in which young writers get to learn how to make television. And I want a world in which we are fairly compensated for the things that we put up on streaming.

How did you pull this off Twitter?!?

Deadline Hollywood has a video pop-up of @neil-gaiman talking about the writer’s strike from the WGA East picket at yesterday’s NBC Upfronts at Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center that I can’t figure out how to share directly (see Tweets below)

Hiya :) @randimason, actually the video I used for gif is from the second link (the second x in the post) on instagram wga stories which is shorter and the speech from the first link (the first x) on twitter. To download from instagram or twitter one must use a website, for twitter such as this one and from instagram such as this one. :)

Also adding:

Among the picket line participants was Neil Gaiman, the fantasy novelist and showrunner known for books and adaptations for TV and movies such as “The Sandman”, “Good Omens,” “American Gods,” and “Coraline.” With a sign that read “I’d rather be writing your favorite TV show” and wearing a red t-shirt with the text “Pencils the f*ck down,” Gaiman — who was among the protestors concerned with AI-generated writing — told Digiday he was there to support the next generation of writers.

“We need to look after the upcoming generation of writers,” Gaiman said. “And I want to see that happen. So for me, so much of this is about ending the mini writer rooms, about making sure that young writers get to go on set, get experience, get to learn. Because otherwise, there won’t be a generation after us.”

There was a group of angels at the bar tonight. Super intense vibe, but they kept to themselves and didn't disturb the other patrons, except for one point when they all suddenly burst into cheers and ordered a round for the bar. I asked what they were celebrating. They told me that for a split second all of the air molecules bounced petfectly into one corner of the room. It's like their version of the dvd screensaver.

Thank you so much to @pikachu-says-peekaboo​ for coming up with the brilliant theme and helping me out with the questions.

Worst Case vs. Best Case Scenarios by Karina Farek.

This is a great joke, but it’s also a wonderful strategy for reducing anxiety that I learned about in therapy. If you’re ever nervous about something, just ask yourself: what’s the best thing that can happen? What’s the worst thing? What will most likely happen?

It does wonders for your nerves, really does.

It didn’t even occur to me that this comic was meant to be humorous. I just read this as an illustrated guide for the psychological exercise you’re referencing, which I’ve read about in psych essays before.
