Never been so proud to be a New Yorker

Yes!

Happy/merry to everyone who celebrates 🎄🕎🎉🥳

So weird that the @nytimes.com doesn't seem to find this release of photos notable enough to cover so far... mysterious.

It would be hilarious if after the Supreme Court ceded all that power to the executive branch, but before Trump was able to rig the elections, a socialist got elected and used that power for universal healthcare, wealth tax, climate justice etc and those programs became too popular to kill.

Oh no!

Probably the biggest fear of every Gen X'er, by far, was quicksand.

Location scouting in Georgia yesterday

Okay @profanity.accountant…

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

The fella behind "Friendsgiving is gay." His username is a big bowl of "what the actual fuck???" And what does "ball knower" mean?

We're making a movie! Still early days, but after a couple years of rolling a tiny pebble into a chunky snowball, it’s time to say it out loud… It's dark comedy crime drama: Fargo v Uncut Gems with the moral rot of Breaking Bad More at seamuslynchfilm.com #filmsky #scriptsky

Tonight was a very bad night.

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Huh. Uh... sure. Of course, without his contributions political polarization, shifting wealth away from the middle and working classes, and emboldening a GOP theory unitary executive power, perhaps he wouldn't have had to be "courageous and clear. MF'er paved the goddamn road for Trump.

As a NYC voter (n of 1, but I’m hardly alone) I can say that if voting for someone will chagrin Trump, that’s a plus. If Trump does decide to punish NYC, I’ll just say I don’t think he’s prepared for the NY’er tendency to rally in common cause when confronted with external threats

In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

Follow up call with an EP where I started to realize they're actually pitching us... Lots to think about.

Not selected for Film Independent Fast Track. Not surprised, exactly—they're looking for projects that are a little more packaged, which makes sense, but ngl, am a bit disappointed. That said, we've been having some pretty interesting meetings of late... Onward! #scriptsky #filmsky

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

Early voting starts today in NYC. We’re voting for mayor, comptroller, judges, six ballot proposals and more. So don’t forget to flip your ballot! #govote

this this and more this. yesssss

WTAF?

There's gotta be a hilarious movie in here somehow. "Pirro's Gotta Have It" Logline: Drunk and delusional ideologue returns to her roots as a prosecutor after the safety of fringe TV commentating, only to discover the harsh reality of a still fact-based grand jury system. Anchorman v The Verdict

Alex, I'll take "Things that will bite Gavin Newsom in the face in the primary" for $200.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

My producing partner and I have been doing a bunch of meetings over the past few months. Pitches/generals etc. Something I'm noticing is when we're relaxed and a little vulnerable, folks have been leaning in, and when we're formal/tight, they don't as much. Thought that was interesting... YMMV

I keep thinking about photos of collaborators after the war. People don't forget some things easy... Before this is all said and done, there will be a reckoning.

oh no!

This is so fucking insane. If you wrote this in a movie/TV show you'd get notes back that the crash has to be at least partly her fault or else the ICE goons are just too cartoonishly villainous to be believable.

When they don't give it to that befuddled buffoon, I'm hanging our Norwegian flag in front of our building. 🇳🇴

This is what I've been saying for MONTHS!

exasperation can be an effective way to disguise exposition #scriptsky

Werner Herzog has slammed the use of AI in new cinematic releases, saying that films that make use of the technology “look completely dead.” “There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Amen to that!

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

The Days of the Condor is weird movie. Robert Redford goes to lunch, his whole office gets assassinated. He goes on the run, kidnaps Faye Dunaway, makes her take a nap with him, ties her up, then goes out, has a near miss with Max Von Syndow. Comes back and unties Faye, so they have sex (?). 1/2

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Elon Musk does seem uniquely stupid enough to publicly demand the release of files containing the revelation that he went to the island for wealthy pedophiles with the world's biggest pedophile

No F*%king Kings. Get to know committed ❌👑-ers before you see them on the streets October 18. Want and add to this pack. Just cut the ❌👑 emojis, paste em after your name and let me know. #NoKings go.bsky.app/2KsqyNL

Heartbreaking and brilliant. Josh O’Connor is magnetic, Paul Mescal delivers #TheHistoryOfSound #filmsky

Well, this doesn't exactly suck... My darkly comedic crime drama, "The Sad and Tawdry Story of Seamus Lynch," goes two rounds in Austin. Congrats to the other second rounders and big ups to those who advanced past that. Onward! #scriptsky

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Help make a movie!

So, I’m inferring that George Will didn’t need a college degree. Other than his PhD from Princeton, or his master’s from Oxford, not to mention his bachelor’s from Trinity. But he surely sent his kids to trade schools…. What’s that?

This right here is kind of everything The difference between produced or not has much more to do with will and persistence than talent

It's a bit weird that you eat oyster crackers with clam chowder. No? Just me.
