[logo: WGA Writers Guild CBS News] If CBS wants 24/7 coverage, we need 24/7 union protections. [logo: CBS News 24/7] STRIKE PLEDGE signed by 95% of the unit.

[logo: WGA Writers Guild CBS News] STRIKE PLEDGE DELIVERED. “We, the undersigned Writers Guild of America East members at CBS News 24/7, sign this strike pledge calling on the company to meet us where we are at on our most important issues: guaranteed wage increases, meaningful overtime rules, protected union jurisdiction, and flexible work from home protections. Our colleagues on the bargaining committee have put in significant time and effort to negotiate our new contract. We pledge to support them and will participate at minimum in a 24-hour walkout and strike if necessary to win a contract that protects the things that matter to us the most. We call on management to reach a fair deal with our union by the end of today, our last scheduled bargaining date. We pledge to walk out and, if necessary, strike for a fair contract.”

WGAE members at CBS News 24/7 are prepared to STRIKE if CBS/Paramount management doesn't reach a fair contract today. Members delivered a strike pledge signed by 95% of the 60-member bargaining unit.

Good job not knowing what socialism is or how it works. As a dude in LA though, I can tell you: If actors/crew/etc. controlled the means of production the industry wouldn’t be falling apart the way it currently is.

On March 5, 2026 (Yesterday as of the writing of this), Congress pushed a bunch of so-called online safety bills through committee.

These bills included the hotly debated KOSA. I’ve been talking about KOSA for years…

KOSA and similar bills are dystopian surveillance bills disguised as “keeping kids safe.” They’re gonna try to use this moment of intense civil unrest to gut the internet as we know it.

I just realized I’ve been mixing up Lauren Boebert and Laura Loomer for awhile now.

I don’t fear AI. AI is incapable of rational decision making or original thought. It relies on the expertise of others. It only responds to positive or negative feedback. I live in Los Angeles. That’s half of Hollywood.

To whoever needs to hear this: There are plenty of reasonable personalities and individuals speaking out against the war. You don’t need to retweet neonazis or left-wash alt-right politicians. I know it’s good for contrarian clicks but ffs look at where we’re at…

One can only hope that someday in the future this will be taught (if education is a still a thing) as an example of war propaganda.

Well, as the world continues to go to hell I’m glad I chose to move forward with AFPN and have a stand-up show that comes out swinging on all cylinders. Hell, if we’re not using our creations to fight back now we’re never going to. I’m stoked to report that I’ll be doing a preview in NYC! June 5!

Can all the “Trump’s anti-war” contrarians shut the fuck up until the end of time now? Just shut the fuck up. And to all the podcast grifters who sold out for the MAGA cash, the world will be a slightly better place the day you never turn your microphone on again.

Looks like Trump’s getting his war with Iran. Can’t wait for the explanation about how 50 Iranian children going to school were a threat to our “freedom.”
