So I’m scouting in Tivoli, Italy and taking a pretty little picture when the location manager sidles up behind me and says, “You know, they used to sacrifice children there.”

A “little bit” of AI is plagiarism.

This year I was asked to run for an officer position in Guild leadership. I had to decline, but my first reaction was “Please hang up and call Mike Royce.” WGA-ers, please vote for this man. There are few finer humans in the universe. He cares about writers from the depths of his soul.

Optometrist and I just commemorated our 20th anniversary together. Celebrated by ordering prescription computer glasses specifically for writing. Still 20/20 in the left and “Is that a person or a chair?” in the right.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

We're in so much trouble

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

No fallacies detected.

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

This is patently unlawful, if the Marines are being used for regular civilian law enforcement on the whim of the SecDef.

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Ah, well, that’s very bad. Like Stalinist, Lysenkoism bad. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The corruption here is staggering #Cryptogate

He really is the worst human alive. This is so fucking gross.

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

Mark the date.

A lot of people knew him from comics, but I grew up on his Star Trek: TNG novels. It was the first time I remember looking at the names of authors as a kid. Whenever there was a new Peter David installment I knew I was in for a treat. Rest well, legend.

Mask up!

I feel like we don’t talk about Sade enough.

If you're not quite sure how bad an idea a *ten year moratorium* on "AI" regulations is, @cendemtech.bsky.social @dairinstitute.bsky.social @georgetownprivacy.bsky.social and many many others have joined a letter about why this is a FUCKING TERRIBLE idea: cdt.org/insights/cdt...

The Democrats aren't going to message their way into the hearts and minds of racists and sexists who have been raised to hate them. They're not going to deliver their way in, either. Biden did more for the working class than any president since FDR and it bounced right off of their bigoted skulls.

US Copyright Office found AI companies breach copyright. Next day its boss was fired

Covid is not “mild”. It’s not just a cold. infections don’t make you stronger & can cause significant harm Grateful to anyone with a platform who speaks out about their struggles. People need to understand repeat infections aren’t inevitable. Masking & clean air works. We just have to do it

I had a few casual conversations with Skydance about an Elden Ring TV series, but they never secured the rights. As a megafan, I look forward to any version of it on our screens.

I like this guy already.

@joshscherr.bsky.social would love to grab lunch one day and pick your brain, dude

Did not have India and Pakistan going to war on my Shittiest Year Ever bingo card.

No idea what the different heart emoji colors mean and I refuse to find out. #GetOffMyLawn

Proud to say I wrote Elliot Stabler’s first ever f-bomb. This is a dude who really needed to swear. Thank goodness for the move to Peacock. #OrganizedCrime

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

It’s a sad day. I used to love reading about weather and geological related science from NOAA. They are compromised now. Hopefully, someday their integrity will be restored. Until then if ever, farewell. 👋

Noah Wylie is the all-time best TV doctor. No one close.

He’s flying everywhere but welcome nowhere. As it should be.

Wrote the season premiere of #OrganizedCrime. Tonight at 10PM on both NBC & Peacock!!

Trying to write this romcom with only one space after the period and it just feels so fucking wrong.

Rolling Stone calling it how it is.

Hmmmm

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public
