I sincerely hope that the world of the future is one that is stable enough that when I describe how the entire planet was held hostage to the machinations of a deeply unwell reality TV host for 15ish years, young ppl with no memory of this time period will think I'm exaggerating.

Our newest gig with @ponysmasher.social and @lottalosten.bsky.social got announced! deadline.com/2026/02/a-li...

I blame this on too many people having a reading of DS9 that just says "See! You thought the federation was all rainbows & Talarian puppies, but there was messy, GRITTY stuff there, man!" …When the entire point of that show was about finding a way to live federation ideals, THROUGH the grit & mess.

Unironically, America fuck yeah.

In my role as moderately respected sci-fi writer, I propose a blanket veto on the phrase "as the humans say" in all future media

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Kathleen Turner in BODY HEAT am I right folks

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

This brag is for zero (0) people but I beat all the stakes with all the decks on Balatro. Let this post be a testament to my greatest achievement.

This was made as a commission for me and I have never spent money better in my life

I personally hope the lesson Hollywood learns is to make more things Boey and Erika wrote

Podcast got dubbed into Korean and is doing massive numbers. Ready for Geoff Tock to cause an international incident?

I personally would not bring my pregnant wife into space to meet the devourer of worlds but maybe I'm just built different

It's so hard to depict the problems of modern life in film/TV because so many of them involve looking at screens

BIG NIGHT FOR THE MISSISSIPPI MASALA HEADS (ME)

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

MATERIALISTS is Nora Ephron Noir in the best way possible

Fear of the New York City subway is a mark of low moral character. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...

Listen I know these are Troubled Times but hear me out Renee Rapp as the lead in a tv adaptation of Tony Scott's DOMINO

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.

You know how boring your protest has to be for LAPD to call it peaceful?

"Medicaid Work Requirements Are Cruel and Pointless" by Matt Bruenig New York Times www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/o...

May we become a nation worthy of Rumeysa Ozturk's faith.

I think Disney should have strongly considered putting ANDOR in theaters, even in a limited way. 100+ venues maybe, special event style. Seems like easy money.

If you're WGA, please go vote on the strike discipline appeals. You should have a link in your email. I personally will be voting no, but what's important is that you vote.

I know stuff is pretty rough right now, but I am thankful that I am alive for the only time period in which Robyn has ever existed

People seem to have this assumption that being evil also means that you're hypercompetent and have some nefarious long term plan (blame popular media) when in reality most people doing evil shit are more like destructive toddlers.

the biggest thing, incidentally,that's made me decide Religion is Good Actually is that a lot of this is done by people who clearly do not imagine anyone will ever judge them I understand society should provide judgment,but it currently doesn't I think it's worth believing Stephen Miller is damned

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Well, we all made it through the last three times Republicans crashed the economy, so I guess we will get through this one too

About once a year I remember they made Dan turn out to be the titular Gossip Girl and I am put into a bad mood all day

Odd to know that all of my weird WGA strike group chats had better opsec than the one where they decided to bomb Yemen

Smoke is rising from the Cheesecake Factory at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. A new Carol Lombardini has been chosen!! deadline.com/2025/03/ampt...

I basically do what I thought I was going to do when I was fifteen: Drive to my job writing a science fiction television show in an electric muscle car while listening to Deftones

My thing is, my family came to the U.S. from an authoritarian country and I'm not moving again so we have no choice but to win and fix all this shit

Does anyone want to talk about Glen Cook’s THE BLACK COMPANY with me

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

One phrase has given me much solace in these troubling times: HELL IS PATIENT

does elon musk control the entire united states treasury? maybe! maybe not! what happens if he does? no one fucking knows! there are no contingencies for this kind of thing, and there's no way to accurately predict what it might mean

a big part of what's happening right now is that there's no way to actually game out what fears and risks are rational and which ones aren't and what the fallout could be, and if you are a person who pays attention and reads the news, this is going to drive you mad. ask me how i know.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I truly believe in the promise of America, a land where all people have the opportunity to live up to their full potential, whoever they are and however they define it. It makes my blood boil to watch all these mediocre men in the Trump administration tear down that promise out of spite.
