“Tried to scare you”: Producer “almost killed” picketing writers with SUV
Today in Atlanta, producer Ian Woolf (BMF) allegedly tried to run over protesting writers with his SUV, as reported on Twitter by striking writer Brian Egeston (The Game, On a Wing and a Prayer), one of those nearly hit by the vehicle.
The full text of Brian Egeston's open letter to Woolf:
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MAN WHO ALMOST KILLED ME ON THE WGA PICKET LINE TODAY. A thread… Dear Mr. Ian Woolf, Welcome to Atlanta. Years ago, forward thinkers and Civil Rights icons labeled our fair town, ‘the city too busy to hate’. What you did today on Hank Aaron Drive and blocks from the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr….was hateful. When you pointed your SUV at me as though it were a weapon and slammed the breaks within six feet of writers, I felt the hate and aggression of scenarios similar to Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and others who have been harmed at the hands of hate-filled oppressors. As I marched with the WGA in a peaceful protest, similar to the giants who have walked the very streets where you almost committed manslaughter, you chose to—in your own words— “Tried to scare you.” Mr. Woolf, this scare and intimidation tactic reeks of German Shepards, water hoses, bricks and burning flesh. It reeks of the worst kind of hate. A hate that continually divides us as a people. I would implore you, in hindsight, to consider the ramifications of killing an African-American man in the streets of the city too busy to hate, while being the producer of an African-American TV show, created by an African American man, run by an African-American Man. Mr. Woolf, your actions purveyed a deep generational hate for us. And that, sir, is a travesty for which you must be held accountable. If not by your superiors and peers, then by the people of Atlanta because the South will have something to say about what you did today. Should you choose to remain in our city, where I will remind you that you are a guest, I beg of you to lead with love and refrain from being a drum major for hate and potential manslaughter. I pray God’s grace and mercy over your life. Brian Egeston Writer
First Kill feels like one of those shows that would've in another decade grown into a cult classic.
Like the first season is pretty decent, stronger than Buffy season 1 Imo. It makes you fall for the characters, it establishes the world, and has fun along the way. Which sounds like an understatement of its quality when I think about how much I personally enjoyed it, but it could've been stronger in most aspects. In a world with 24 episode seasons, one where new ideas with potential were really invested in, I think it would've grown in to itself and found its audience and hit the ground running.
Anyway corporations are amoral money machines, support striking workers.
We're living through a fucked up time, but seeing writers guild America strike and all the worker solidarity feel like something real I can hold on to. Also the ozone layer is healing.
Idk what's going to happen in my world, idk if the Conservatives are going to win in Alberta's election. But workers in my field are revolting, and that is a fight that touches our work here too. It's not everything but it's something.
Also young people for the love of God vote. Even if you feel there's no good option there are lesser evils, and the old people who disagree with you will vote.

“I’m sorry, I can’t find my fucking pills and I... I can’t-”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s not okay. Everything feels too real. I can’t do it.”
the djats series did a lot of things to please (pun intended) me specifically sometimes entirely on accident but one of the funniest examples I just realized is Karen being the one doing backup vocals on Please because technically this supports my lesbian Karen agenda Billy wrote a song about wanting to fuck Daisy and Karen was like relatable I must be a participant in this project.

The funniest part about the 'More Fun To Miss' kiss is that Daisy was literally giving him an out and he refused to take it. She was going to sing the song whatever he did, she was literally asking him to tell her there was nothing between them so that she could stop thinking about the 'what if's and move on, and he couldn't bring himself to do that so kissed her senseless instead. Billy Dunne you are your own worst enemy and I love that about you.
prime example of when the actor was acting because look at the AGONY on his face. you don’t need any context to know how absolutely wrecked he is in this scene
Daisy Jones & The Six is going to end me I just know it
