SOLIDARITY ALERT: Sesame Workshop writers
Tumblr media
Writers at Sesame Workshop are on the verge of a strike. These writers are fighting for a contract with industry-standard annual raises, improvements to residuals and coverage of all writing work performed for Sesame Workshop—including animation and social media segments. Their current contract expires this Friday, April 19.
GO HERE TO SUBMIT A (pre-drafted, editable) LETTER OF SUPPORT 👇👇👇👇👇
If the company continues to refuse to engage on core issues and a deal can’t be reached by that deadline, Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) members at Sesame Workshop have unanimously voted to authorize a strike.
Your support will ensure that the negotiating committee has the leverage they need to make the strongest possible deal before their contract expires on Friday—or to have the WGAE Council and WGAW Board call for a strike if the company is still unwilling to meet its workers' reasonable demands.

Sophie Lawton at MMFA:
Project 2025 and the right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation have a plan for a future Republican administration to defund “woke” public media institutions, including PBS and NPR. Last year, Project 2025, a comprehensive transition plan organized by the Heritage Foundation, released a nearly 900-page policy book titled Mandate for Leadership: A Conservative Promise. The book outlines a radical set of policy proposals that would dismantle the civil service, outlaw abortion, and roll back civil rights. (The effort is backed by over 100 conservative partner organizations and has tied itself to former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.) One chapter, written by Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez, lays out a plan for how a Republican administration might defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which uses taxpayer dollars to help fund public media institutions like PBS and NPR. In his chapter on public broadcasting, Gonzalez claimed “all Republican presidents have recognized that public funding of domestic broadcasts is a mistake” and “the next conservative President must” defund public media “and do it despite opposition from congressional members of his own party if necessary.”
Public broadcasting outlets like NPR and PBS are on the radical right-wing Project 2025's list to defund and eliminate.

One thing that does irk me about public radio is that there’s always a hard pivot from election coverage to classical music.
So, now that they’ve wrapped up their special coverage of the election, I’m just listening to Mahler symph 7 and refreshing Associated Press every 3 minutes like a crazy person.

PBS appreciation
Reflecting on how much I watched PBS growing up, and empathising with Toby Ziegler from Take Out the Trash Day (West Wing, 2000).
Sesame Street, Mr Rogers, Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, Carmen Sandiego, Magic Schoolbus, Cosmos, Frugal Gormet, Nova (and Science Now), This Old House, The Joy of Painting, and yes Ms Julia Child
My childhood was publicly subsidised.

#PBS Mystery! was a mystery, police, and crime drama anthology series on PBS from 1980 to 2006. Mystery! aired mostly British crime series purchased from or co-produced with the BBC or ITV and adapted from British mystery fiction. In 2008, as a consequence of reduced funding, PBS combined Mystery! with Masterpiece Theatre under the umbrella title Masterpiece.
Above, promotional art for the series by Edward Gorey. Today, the Masterpiece opening sequence still features the Gorey characters seen in the original series.

Basic Critic Against The Physics Book It's the main problem I found in the solar system Geometry- the Physicist sees something but the designer sees another thing– these are two different visions for the same solar system- that answers (Why Are So Many Theories In The Physics Book Just Imaginary Ideas And Not Facts?)– let's discuss this problem The Physicist Vision The physicist supposes that there's (a unit of building)- by that- the physicist sees the mass (for example) as wall and this wall is consisted of bricks (small similar units) and for that the physicist searched for this (unit) because it's the (unit) by which the wall is building (the mass is building)– this is the physicist thinking direction- he believed there's a small unit by which the great building is built For that the physicist searched and found the particle and then the particle is divided into Molecules then the Molecule is divided into atoms and the atom is divided into nucleus and electron moves around and the nucleus is divided into proton and Neutron- and the proton is divided into quarks …etc The physicist searches for the building unit- the unit by which the building is built – or the unit by which the mass is built – for that the physicist divides (any thing) to see its contents till reach to the unit which can be used as the building unit. The Designer Vision The designer aims to create integration- as the marriage – male and female- the relationship will cause to give birth for a child INTEGRATION this is the word inside the designer Mind No building unit- the marriage answers- because in marriage both (male and female) are required and no one of them better than the other – both work together and give equal effects on the same one process and give together one result- I explain the idea by the marriage because it's easy to understand- I want to put the word (Integration) as the basic concept in the designer mind And I want to explain how the physicist causes fatal error for the research method While the physicist divides the elements one after one (from matter to particle to molecule to atom to proton to quarks …etc) this division from out into inner till reach to very small unit which he considered the building unit – that causes to destroy the geometrical design of the integration process Let's return to the marriage- the marriage requires two players (male and female)- they have different bodies and the process give birth for children- Suppose we remove one player what would happen? (where can we find a woman pregnant by herself?) I want to say- the division from (matter to particle to molecule to atom to proton to quarks …etc) destroys the general geometrical design which uses the integration process- let's give other examples Example No. (1) Einstein told us (He can't find slightest meaning for the word SPACE) by that he can't define (what's the space) and also he found the space has no mechanical features because no definition causes these features – this is the physicist vision - Let's see the designer vision Planet moves and its motion produces energy (1/2 mv^2) and where's the energy? the planet can't store its motion energy inside its body because this energy would raise the planet temperature and no planet temperature is raised by its motion- so- where's the planet motion energy? logically we suppose that- the energy is stored in the space in waves form(CONT) Gerges Francis Tawdrous +201022532292 Physics Department- Physics & Mathematics Faculty Peoples' Friendship university of Russia – Moscow Curriculum Vitae https://www.academia.edu/s/b88b0ecb7c E-mail [email protected] [email protected] ORCID https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1041-7147 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/gergis.tawadrous VK https://vk.com/id696655587 Tumblr https://www.tumblr.com/blog/itsgerges Livejournal https://gerges2022.livejournal.com/profile Pocket https://getpocket.com/@646g8dZ0p3aX5Ad1bsTr4d9THjA5p6a5b2fX99zd54g221E4bs76eBdtf6aJw5d0?src=navbar

Having 40K thoughts again….
So you know how television used to not be 24 hours a day and big studios would have a sign off at the end of their daily broadcast? Imagine something similar on certain Imperial worlds where they DO have such a public broadcasting system, like certain civilized worlds, and it’s a bunch of propaganda images and videos, like a time-lapse of a huge Emperor statue facing the rising sun, with dramatic music such as hymns or the Imperial anthem being played over it.
