Alright I signed the silly petition. Even though I think on-line petitions are close to usueless. But then I saw there are already over 33000 signitures and I thought, "well that is something."
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?

Book: He could hurry... a little.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, Laga, I love that thing. The number keeps growing at an incredible rate. I don't know that it will mean anything to anyone in a position of power, but it's still a bold statement.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I hope it gets to 100,000, and whoever created the petition pays for it to hand delivered to somebody (petitiononline let you do that - it's not that expensive, I had them do it once).

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
But did you read through some of the signatures? You would have to go through and eliminate the "i have hemorrhoids" ones. That was just on the page that I signed. I don't know about any others.

Oh, that sucks. All of the signatures I saw were on-topic.

I had to do that with the petition I got delivered. Towards the end the petition trolls appeared, the people who hate the idea but sign it anyway to get a comment in. Fun.

Televisionary has a new production blackout update, it's the best I've seen so far: [link]

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Not that I am thinking what I watch on my television matters, but do we keep track of the episode numbers and not watch if they keep production going with replacement writers? Is it "tv off" time already, or is it okay to watch those episodes already written but not yet filmed when they air. And by "we", I mean "me" trying to figure out exactly how to be supportive. Or is anything I do with my television between me and my conscience.

They can't get replacement writers, Austin. When they run out of episodes, production will close. Some will shut down before then as showrunners walk. I'd imagine nearly everything will be off the air by mid-January, looking at that.
I'd say watch whatever you'd normally watch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My understanding is that they can get replacement writers, just not anyone who is or ever wants to be WGA.
