Opening a #newplay at the Great Salt Lake Fringe festival this weekend. If you're in #saltlakecity and want to check out a macabre dark comedy, then go to the Great Salt Lake Fringe website or the MadKing's Fellowship Theatre at the Gateway at the time of the show! #gslfring

Great reporting by @taylorwanderson.bsky.social. This is a situation indicative of larger problems with a supermajority legislature that rushes policies through during a short session to fulfill a business-friendly agenda that values relationships over outcomes. buildingsaltlake.com/shadow-lobby...

Oh the irony of so many "Lions, Not Sheep" shirts.

Me and @ghostofmarlowe.bsky.social made a noir thriller short film about Mormonism last year. It’s an homage to Charles Laughton’s 1955 film “Night of the Hunter” and we’re very proud of it. We made it for a competition in 1 month on no budget. You can watch it here: youtu.be/KFJktGSxXxE?...

Republicans are just rearranging fridge magnets to come up with new scandals at this point.

I just want to scream this into the void, which I suppose is what social media essentially is... I say this with all the fervor of my soul. Fuck you, Utah Legislature. FUCK YOU with a jack hammer. And Governor Cox can eat the mess, the sniveling coward.

Banger quote.

Imaging a universe in which we’re all arguing over the absolute most boring normie shit Kamala Harris is doing, blissfully unaware of the event horizon dimension we’d all narrowly averted

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Literally if each person that showed up to protests in Utah today volunteered for the same amount of time they spent there for a candidate once each fall we would immediately pick up a handful of legislative seats, city councils, and mayors. Not exaggerating.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Ralph Fiennes has been one of the most consistently brilliant actors working in film for thirty years. It boggles the mind how much people take his work for granted.

Pretty happy this morning about the fact that a very good animated film from Latvia, with no words, put together with free software, on a $3.7m budget, has won an Oscar. Dream big, etc.

in 28 days, ive raised $8,070 to make a short film i wrote our goal is $11,500 and we have 2 days left over 85% of the funds we raise will be funneled into local freelancers and small businesses to bring the short film to life any amount helps!! www.indiegogo.com/projects/hoe...

Utah lawmakers advance tax cut that gives top 1% of earners about $2,000/year while average Utah families get enough to buy lunch at Crown Burger ($31/year). www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/latest-utah-...

they really thought they could stop theater kids by threatening them with negative attention

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

An Oscar-winning filmmaker plans to make his next movie, in part, in Utah — and will receive state tax incentive money to do it.

Anarchy is the antidote to Fascism.

We're going to gain an hour of sunlight over the next four weeks. So at least there's that.

guys… the crowdfunding link for HOE PHASE is live this has been my little passion project since october and i can’t wait to bring it to life with our team! www.indiegogo.com/projects/hoe...

if you need more good news, a guide to sabotaging fascism that was declassified by the CIA in 2008 is going viral and is now the 5th most accessed book on Project Gutenberg, with over 60,000 hits in the past month source: www.404media.co/declassified...

Maybe it's better not to mess around with certain federal functions. It's not a game.

This is really horrifying - The ability to strip non-profits of tax exempt status for “Groups supporting terrorism.” Imagine a theater producing a play critical of the the administration called out for it’s perceived “terrorist” content.

Well. Good luck to everyone.

Guys, maybe social media just sucks and our lives were better without it? #tiktok

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Playwriting/Screenwriting Doom prophecy Days of dead air

This is what our lives were supposed to be.

Oh god I'm down to my last chocolate orange.

I hadn't been on Twiter/X since November, but today, I deleted that bullshit. Facebook is next. It's been dead for years anyway. And someday, Bluesky will need to cash in on its valuation, and it'll go public, and the billionaires and bots will ruin it too.

Happy New York. Coming to New York in 2025. And then?... #playwright #playwrite #newplay #TheatreSky #theatre #playwriting #screenwriting

The universe couldn't send a more clear message on New Year's Day 2025.

Happy 2025!!!* *Terms and conditions apply.

Multiple companies are discontinuing their blu ray and 4K players. In addition to the obvious, devastating implications for film preservation, it illustrates once again that the ultra-rich will not be happy until everything in our lives is subscription-based. A landlord for every need.

“There should be more fears about what this will do,” David C.K. Curry, a philosophy professor at the State University of New York at Potsdam, warned. “This is a playbook. It’s a playbook that’s being sold to institutions nationwide.”

Tribune editorial: It is essential that students be schooled in art and literature and history and science and languages, the cultural wisdom that must be handed down so the next generation is more than just corporate cannon fodder, but well-rounded human beings, parents and citizens.

Burn our political system to the ground. Half the people in power won't even know the difference.
