Let’s break down the 8 essential questions I ask about my characters before I even start outlining my latest feature screenplay or TV pilot. I’ve found them to be more important to my characters’ development and, thus, the narrative’s action/plot than anything else I do when breaking a story. 1/2

The #Sinners sisterhood. @variety variety.com/2025/film/ac...

Yes, capitalism is terrible, etc. I still love #GiftGuides. One of my favorite things about this time of year. Do you have a favorite I maybe don't know about? This one (hat tip @lauraolin.bsky.social ) is delightful: cupofjo.com/2025/12/04/g...

So… Zaslav is gone (I wonder if he’ll sell Robert Evans’s house, since he’s no longer a mogul wannabe), but is the Red N a better leash holder?

“Keep taking that generous PTO, JD. Maybe one day it’ll actually pay off.” Read about the veep who can’t stop taking vacations - 8 trips in just 7 months- and the absolute inconveniences he has caused along the way only on zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/vice-presi...

“Arm Ukraine, expand sanctions, stop the lethal drone swarms, break the Russian economy, and win the war. Then there will be peace.” The 🍊🐷 has discarded his royal flush with reckless impunity. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This book came out a year ago. Had a great tour, a glowing NYT review, and was on NPR. It didn’t blow up. Not a bestseller. Didn’t get optioned. Won nothing. Didn’t earn out. Now I have no contract and I’m struggling with the next one. Being a writer is an endless war of attrition. Time to write!

It’s like when ppl say a film, released in the streaming age, will be a cult classic. That’s fundamentally not possible when it’s always available.

In case I wasn’t clear…

If you’ve been inspired by the decency, compassion, and hope found in the new SUPERMAN film, I’d encourage you to give this conversation I had with comic book writer @markwaid.bsky.social a read. His relationship with Supes is one of the most powerful I have ever encountered.

My latest 4K commentary is here!

MURPHY: The private sector isn't going to fight Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world, right? WALTZ: They're going to show the power of the private sector MURPHY: We're going to rely on Disney?

I'm hearing WeTransfer has already walked back and changed their TOS removing the more egregious parts that made it impossible for creative professionals to keep using. This is the same thing Adobe did a year ago.

You know what is wild? When you’re a freelance employee, and some full-timer tries to set you up to fail!

His name is Howard Nutlick!!!

There was discussion of this post-WW2 in The Netherlands, China after the Cultural Revolution, and East Africa after the famine in the early 80s… and the lessons weren’t learned.

Met up with my visiting best friend from grade school last month and we were both pleasantly shocked at how much we’re still on same page, from Eric Dolphy to our nation’s ghastly Gaza policy to the giallo, a handy guide to which @unauthorizedcbd.bsky.social even made m.youtube.com/watch?v=akc9...

How the ATOMIC BOMB shaped Japanese Cinema youtu.be/Ce8ng9pPCEA

A veto proof majority is required to end the 🍊🐷. In Germany’s first post-3rd Reich element, the turnout was 78%. After 15 years of insanity, can the U.S. do so after 11 years of insanity?

With every paycheck or cash you receive, carve off 10% FIRST for your high-interest savings account. Act as if you only got that 90%. Never touch that money. Even in an emergency (create a separate fund for that).

The Greatest Comic of the 00s? youtu.be/otwWwo9Tyg8

The North failed to execute the Confederate elites. This lead to threats & intimidation that eventually ended Reconstruction, and the South was then ruined by crony capitalism for decades. It used to be wealthiest part of nation yet it never recovered economically. Such is the U.S.’s fate post-47

As a politician, you’re supposed to speak out WHEN THERE IS INTIMIDATION. Use private contracts to track down the criminals.

Food riot countdown Day 45

45 = Beer Hall Putsch 47 = Burning the Reichstag & Night of the Long Knives You heard it hear first.

I would wager that 🍊🐷 destroyed more wealth in 74 days than all the lost economic activity from both world wars, including the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
