The reporting on OpenAI and Sam Altman I've been working on for the past year and a half, for @newyorker.com, with Andrew Marantz: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I feel like this is maybe not the combination of traits we want in the guy running the biggest AI company in the world

I would love to write a videogame, someone let me write for your videogame

As good a time as any to say that if you HAVEN’T YET checked out the six episode horror-comedy murder mystery series I made with my friends… it’s all still free to watch on YouTube! Make MURDER FOR DUMMIES your next evening binge-watch and find out who killed the world’s best loved ventriloquist! 👇

One of the best decisions you'll ever make, just mind the coconut shy.

Nothing like owning a bike for the first time in over twenty years to completely undercut the idea that jogging has improved my fitness

*stares pointedly at whoever is hiring writers for the Animorphs series in development at Disney*

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

I would do *anything* to write for this.

being a creative person is not something that can be optimized & it makes certain people’s cooked brains lock up. sometimes you follow a tangent or find yourself at a dead end. But every single moment that you spend on the work, even when you’re flailing, it can lead to the place you’re meant to go.

This arrived a couple of days ago! Very proud to have worked with a god-tier team on Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld. I got to be head writer on a spectacular show! (PS: I am available for work and I PROMISE if you hire me your show will DEFINITELY also get nominated for Emmys)

Books you say? I'm in the end-game of final colors now for my OGN "Wayward" - a book about the true horrors of emotions (and puberty) that is all about the messiness of best friendships! Most likely a 2027 release due to publishing schedules but im so excited to get this in front of readers soon!

Found a ton of birds in Melbourne today with a great bunch of comedians, but here’s the problem with birds: they don’t buy tickets to your show. You can, though! By following this link: comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows/glenn-moore-please-sir-glenn-i-have-some-moore/

Just heard the term AI;DR (it’s AI, didn’t read)

As always, this is why Star Wars (or any other long-running franchise) doesn't evoke the same feelings. It doesn't need to "mature" or "grow up". It's not the fault of the media and it doesn't have to change for you. You just aren't a child, the genie can't go back in the bottle, and that's okay.

me: I need to write also me:

All the kids I know use “AI” as an insult not as a tool.

To quote our president “I’m glad it’s dead.”

you: you haven’t eaten all day me (not fine): I’m fine you: you need to eat something me (not okay): I’m okay you: look, just eat this me:

This is a phrase I’m openly going to steal and put in a script one day.

maybe elon musk’s kids keep asking for different food because everything they get served in restaurants tastes of spit

Imagine thinking this is a charming anecdote

The whole idea of it is bonkers, because the lasting, secure cure for loneliness is not a girlfriend. It’s friends. This is a crisis that has nothing to do with women but is blamed entirely on them not doing a thing that won’t solve the problem.

Can exclusively confirm that Project Hail Mary is a good movie

Freelancer, here: DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the work I did last year was non-union and so my union healthcare hours ran out and now it’s going to cost me a lot of money every month to get my medication and 1) I’m not happy about it, America, and 2) if anyone would like to hire me for a TAG show I am very talented and polite

I didn’t know I had an arch-nemesis until I started playing Pokopia, but I’m certain this game was specifically created to ruin me. Here's a dive into how the new Pokemon game deploys the fundamentals of interactive storytelling to life-ruining effect. stupidideabox.substack.com/p/pokopia-st...

This should give you some insight to why so many projects either never see the light of day or make their way to audiences as clear compromises. I wasn't gonna watch this BUFFY revival and am burned out on revivals in general, but fuck that exec and fuck anyone like him in the business.

How many games could that billion have made? How many films, tv shows? How many workers - who actually PRODUCE things, mind - were laid off, who could have had their salaries covered hundreds of times over by this vulgar lump sum for a guy who looked at art and only saw a potential tax write-off?

The “Yep. That was me…” finally did it folks, I am now insane

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member” I say, wittily, when my concerned loved ones beg me to join a gym

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

*raises hand* The assholes who don’t stack their baggage trays at airport security and leave them on the conveyor belt

UPDATE on The Prince Andrew Coin: 🪙👑

hey siri is "death and destruction from the sky all day long" something the good guys say

The Outstanding Writing Emmy ended up going to some young up-and-comers named Pixar, but as you can see: I absolutely nailed my “happy to be nominated” face! Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld still bagged two Emmys though, because it’s FUCKING GREAT. So proud to have worked with this incredible team.

Off to the Emmys - WISH LUCK IMMEDIATELY

A new post on something I've been wanting to talk about for a longgg time #writing open.substack.com/pub/lanaharp...

As a lot of people are pointing out, now is a very good time to support independent media and creators. Here’s a fun way you can start: you can watch the ENTIRE INDIE TV SERIES my friends and I made, for free! It’s a horror-comedy mockumentary murder mystery! And it’s really good! First episode 👇

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

We’ve won lots of film festival awards and found lots of delightful devoted fans. Make it your next series to binge! Here’s a trailer if you need more convincing:
