Hey! It's my pub day! Please spread the word: THE WRITER'S CRUSADE (rb.gy/qkz90t) is about Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five & the writer's path from trauma. Tonight's virtual party: shorturl.at/fhvJ7 @MMFlint
A legacy of 9/11 is that our bipartisan nation took care of the families of the immigrant workers who died that day. (Most, if not all, of the undocumented who died worked at Windows on the World.) Our kitchens are still run by immigrants. Don't turn on them now.
Students at NYU asked the creators of South Park the million-dollar question: “What makes a good story?” They gave one of the best explanations of story I’ve heard: “If we can take the beats of your outline, and the words ‘and then’ belong between those beats… you got…

Hey all; real question: how does the @WGAWest @WGAEast strike impact the documentary film industry? @MMFlint @alexgibneyfilm @realsarahpolley @HotDocs
Saw @mstyslav9’s devastating, epic 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL @HotDocs. This is the window into the Russian invasion of #Ukraine that everyone must see: the horror and the humanity. Look for @frontlinepbs releasing it in July.
Saw powerful doc After Work @HotDocs yesterday; great aesthetic narrative about the meaning of work/life with profound visits to Italy, Kuwait, South Korea and Noam Chomsky. Watch for it...

The Ugly American Passport Fiasco
The State Department told me to fly to Puerto Rico to renew my passport. There’s something wrong here.
We're experiencing a Passport Perfect Storm and airlines like @AmericanAir are profiting from change/cancellation fees. We, the people, suffer. Sad! link.medium.com/3slRzHPHKyb @BellaKwai @mark_salisbury @GMA @TODAYshow

This is like writing a birthday card on used toilet paper but Vonnegut would've turned 100 today so HBD Kurt! He would've hated Twitter but maybe not @elonmusk. KV once sold cars and would've loved Tesla. And he had a strange fondness for. . .
