An anonymous exec and manager told
@MattBelloni
that we could've gotten everything we asked for without a strike if we had simply asked nicely. I dare these two morons to come forward and identify themselves, because this is the stupidest fucking thing I've heard all year.
@MyriamFrancoisC
If it’s not, they probably wanted them to think that it was. Mock execution is a popular form of torture as it is psychological and doesn’t leave physical marks.
@jamesrbuk
Sure, anything for you James. Thanks for making yourself the center of an international conflict thousands of miles away. It really is all about you, and I'm not sure why it took me so long to understand.
@zunguzungu
Totally agree. They not only have to reckon with their own trauma from 10/7, the surge in anti-Semitism, but other Jews calling them names. That's a LOT to deal with.
@lauferlaw
@MarkRuffalo
Not true. America's attack on Afghanistan after 9/11 exercised much more care in targeting terrorists, which is why it took 9 years for the U.S. military to kill as many civilians as Israel has done in 1 month. We could've done the same by dropping more bombs, but we didn't.
@SEnachimson
Thank you for doing your job. I'm sorry you were unfairly punished for it. I hope a better gig comes your way. Until then, be proud. Not everyone can stand by their convictions.

Nakba is how Palestinians refer to the dispossession of 750,000 people and there’s nothing wrong with using that word unless you’re a denialist. Don’t be that guy.
@nplusonemag
Holy shit. What an incredibly powerful statement of conscience. I'm going to have to reread it a few times to truly absorb it. Kudos to these incredible humanitarians.
@baddestmamajama
I'm nobody, but happy to add my name to the list. Matt Billingsly thinks Russell Brand is a horrible piece of shit who should be tried in a court of law for his outrageous crimes.
@kdeveryjacobs
While I don't agree with everything, I'm not going to quibble over any of it. I understand and respect where you're coming from, and appreciate you taking the time to share it. Cheers.

These agents are so desperate to show that they have the inside scoop. It's like their ridiculous rumor that we were going to grant the studios a one-month waiver in May. A month!
@BenzionSanders
Incredible. When there is peace between Israel and Palestine, and there will be, it will be because of people like her. And history will honor and remember these courageous, open-hearted people for the heroes that they are.

He won't because he's a coward and because he refuses to consider any evidence that doesn't fit with his ironclad, callous views.
@lauferlaw
@MarkRuffalo
Wait, you're a civil rights attorney who works on police brutality and false confessions, and you're engaging in this ridiculous defense of a disproportionate use of force??? Holy cow, the cognitive dissonance here...

The author is an Israeli Jew and an expert in genocide and the Holocaust. Try listening to him instead of trying to police his language.
@AoDespair
Sadly, neither the U.S. or Israel recognizes the ICC's jurisdiction and refuses to cooperate with investigations or indictments--unless it's against our enemies.
@kimmasters
Yeah, yeah, and Black Lives Matter means that white lives don't matter. We get it. We've all heard this tired respectability politics rhetoric before. Maybe examine the oppression people are living under instead of twisting a call for freedom into something it's not.
@richmeyer
@GeorgeTakei
There are more Palestinians in the West Bank than Gaza, and they have rejected Hamas. Gaza has been unable to reject or reelect Hamas as Israel has refused to allow them to hold elections since the early 2000s.
@strxwmxn
@DGreenbaum
In what world does a despicable, evil organization like Hamas just surrender? Israel too, can stop this at any moment. No one is forcing anyone to drop bombs on apartment blocks, schools, and hospitals. That is a choice.
@denise_dewald
Pretty sure the mother country was called Great Britain, and that they called this territory, seized from the Ottomans as a spoil of war, the British Mandate of Palestine. If I've got that wrong, please correct me.
@kimmasters
Any thoughts on people chanting "No ceasefire today," when nearly 5,000 Palestinian children have been killed? At the rate of 1 child killed every ten minutes, just how long should we keep cheering on this violence?
@WillTheLandMan
I feel for all of my Jewish friends who are reeling from the horror of 10/7, frightened by the undeniable spike of anti-Semitism, but are also being hammered by their right-wing Jewish friends for sympathizing with Palestinians. It's a really tough place to be, and I salute you.
Just a reminder: America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq eventually led to the deaths of more than 3 million people. We forever disgraced ourselves, and we insulted the memory of every person who lost their life on 9/11 by using their name to justify this.
This is what the "ceasefire" before Oct 7 looked like: schools bulldozed, homes destroyed, forced evictions, destruction of olive groves, arson, assault, murder.

If that bar graph also showed the Jewish, Cambodian, and Armenian populations for 70 years, as the Palestinian bar does, they would also show positive, not negative growth. That is one of the grossest manipulations of statistics I've ever seen. Do better.
@dcpetterson
Yeah, but scorning Bernie Sanders' voters in 2016 worked out so well! By all means, lets continue to tune out voters and hope for the best. It's not like democracy itself is at stake. 🤦♂️
@juliahartowitz
We're going to win. Unless the studios want to become Warner Bros-Discovery Life Insurance, they have to mae movies and TV, and to do that they need us. Your next movie will be fucking great, and I can't wait to see it.
@patwalz
@LibyaLiberty
@hewner82
So if twenty children are blown to pieces by a bomb *meant* for Hamas, and one child is killed by a missile fired by terrorists, the greater harm is the one child killed? Intent just erases twenty kids? That's some pretty serious moral gymnastics!

Wtf do you expect after all the shit you talk? A welcome party? The irony is, every one of the people you've shit-talked probably has more talent in their pinky finger than you have in your whole body, which is why they're where they are, and you're crowing about contests.
@whignewtons
How much idealism do you think Palestinians have left after 60 years of occupation, humiliation, crushing poverty, and filthy drinking water?

@SarahKSilverman
That's how I teach her to talk to bossy, rude people who think its their job to tell other people what to say and what to think.
@JorgeCoolReyes
Just saw his latest with anonymous studio execs, agents, and managers shitting all over us. I can get this crap for free on Deadline. Unsubscribing.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but in the fog of war, waiting for the facts to come out doesn’t make you a victim-hating scumbag, it makes you someone who values truth, accuracy, and responsible reporting.
@abesilbe
Could not agree more on all points. Will crawl through broken glass to vote for Biden over Trump, but scorn and mockery doesn't turn out the vote.

You are a very tough keyboard warrior, and now I am very afraid of you. So afraid! There, did that help make you feel better about your small penis?
@tleehumphrey
@DouglasGoodfel4
You say the Palestinians have done nothing to get rid of Hamas in one breath, then in the next admit that 500 of them fought to death against them, and I assume you know, more than a thousand others were wounded. Sorry the death toll wasn't high enough to count as resistance.
@TheJulieBenson
From what I have heard from other writer friends, this seems to be the only part of the strike where the guild maybe could’ve done a little better
@5550nly
@johncusack
LOL, I think the small dick comments hit a little close to home, and now someone is very triggered. Go take a cold shower and cool down.
@ValerieComplex
Definitely not cool. I really enjoyed the film, but respect Devery's opinion, and am willing to hear her out. Listen more than you talk is never bad advice.
In the wake of 9/11, from Oct 2001 through June of 2003, 3,600 Afghan civilians were killed by the U.S. compared to more than DOUBLE that number in Gaza *in just 3 weeks.* It took 8 years of U.S. bombing to reach the death toll in Gaza.
@Yair_Rosenberg
@whignewtons
Sorry, that's just the same old dishonest rationalization we've heard a million times before. A week ago, Israel didn't know what thousands of Hamas fighters were up to. Today, they know every apartment block that's housing them. Give me a break!
