New Substack and another installment of pubescent celebrity worship! 💃🫣 lauramannino.substack.com/p/the-day-i-...

I mean my dad didn't hug me either but this is getting out of hand.

Omfg.

I hope my mom has the chance to bump into Rob Reiner so she can rattle off his own IMDb rap sheet to him. Good thing time doesn’t exist in the quantam field because that woman is incapable of shutting up.

Rob Reiner would want you to make art about everything that is happening in whatever voice you have in whatever way you can

I was a script reader for Castle Rock, #RobReiner 's film company, back in the day. What I recall most was the way he searched for humanity and decency in the stories he told. A mensch. A good soul. RIP #scriptsky #filmsky #moviesky

The wrong people are dead.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

This entire weekend

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

New Substack straight outta my childhood diary! open.substack.com/pub/lauraman...

Sorry guys universe is splitting open starting today

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

🧵 I adapted my 1/2 hour comedy, Bodice Rippers, into an audio drama! It was so much fun to bring a story I’d worked on for years to life with sound, music, and a terrific international cast of hilarious, talented actors. I also got to act again after a long hiatus behind my laptop. #scriptsky

Thank you to the Independent Writers' Caucus for inducting me into your membership. I'm excited to contribute to this thriving community of screenwriters! #scriptsky

Clap your hands, Xennials.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Cuomo and Ciattarelli use jar sauce.

Thanks so much to @iamwandasykes.bsky.social for supporting @kimadamsforva.bsky.social, running for the House of Delegates for District 82 in the Tri-Cities! This video message has been running in the district and now we’re taking it to social media to make sure y'all get out there on Election Day!

We're so thrilled that Virginia's Connie Britton helped out candidate @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social, running for House of Delegates in Southwest Virginia. We’ve been running this spot in District 41 ahead of the election and wanted to be sure we shared on social media as well.

Loudoun County’s @pattonoswalt.bsky.social is showing up for his Hometown candidate @johnmcauliff.bsky.social, running for House of Delegates in the Piedmont. This video has been airing in the district, and now we’re taking it to social media to rally our neighbors to show up strong on Election Day!

One hour into my four-month stint of asking “Why does it feel like it’s 10 PM?”

Shit’s been grim, CA. We do have a chance to assert some control over all the shitiness. Vote YES on Prop 50, CA! #yesonprop50

The shitty prosecco you buy at Vons for mimosas? Dodgers, they just like us.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Bright side, Canada: You still have a democracy. And now Katy Perry.

Dodgers win 👇🏼

Texas rigged its 2026 Congressional map to cram Congress with a merry band of MAGA fucknut lunatics who want to turn this country into The Purge meets the antisemitic prep school from School Ties. California, vote YES on Prop 50 and mail those ballots! open.substack.com/pub/lauraman...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas dismissed a GOP lawsuit against California’s new congressional redistricting plan ruling that the plaintiff, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), had no right to sue over another state’s election laws. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The only dose of institutional norms we have left are TV shows with Allison Janney & Bradley Whitford. Keri Russell is scrambling to find a Bible-y enough Bible for an emergency swearing-in of Janney. Meanwhile in real life, Trump is tearing down the White House for Mar-a-Lago 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Los Felix says #NoKings! Exhilarating to get in good trouble and scream with @lisabeebe.bsky.social, @lauramannino.bsky.social, @meggersssss.bsky.social & friends! Thanks, Laura, for the pics 💜

At some point, the white community is going to have to do something about the high rates of crime in white neighborhoods.

If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.

I watched this 317 times today.

listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

Here’s a TV show staffing pitch I wrote for a network writing fellowship application. Nope, I didn’t get in. Today is (was?) my mom’s birthday. To honor her, here’s a story about her not taking anyone’s shit, not even a bride of Christ. open.substack.com/pub/lauraman... #scriptsky
