When I get nervous during a film or TV pitch I’ll remember my manager’s advice to just treat it as if I was still doing stand-up comedy. So that’s why I asked the two executives in the zoom what they were drinking and if they were together.

Got my MRI results. I thought my shoulder was arthritic the past 18 months. I have a SLAP tear of the labrum *and* a subscapularis tear. Doctor said “it tore right off the bone.” Orthopedic surgery is next. What a relief! I was afraid I was becoming an old man. Turns out I’m just too athletic!

Pitching a sitcom to one or two execs with their mics muted on zoom make me long for the days when I’d perform standup to a bar of a half dozen strangers.

I live in a small Canadian village of 1400. I’m throwing a goodbye party for one of the best neighbours I’ve ever had. I asked our mutual neighbour to round up his local BFFs. This is how I learn there’s a rumour that I don’t own a TV. And during NHL playoffs no less! 1/2

😂😅

Exactly 40 years ago a bunch of my classmates in our Canadian suburban high school started wearing Adidas cuz of this magnificent album.

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

I love that Widow’s Bay is both the funniest horror series I’ve ever seen and the scariest comedy too.

Adapting my story optioned by a prod co a year ago. Rehearsing the pitch today before pitching it to a big prod co. If that goes well we pitch to their studio. If they love it I get paid to write a pilot. And if that goes spectacularly a series is green lit. This is called living the dream baby.

I love Hiro Murai’s ability to balance horror and comedy in Widow’s Bay. Been wanting more of that unsettling, hilarious creepiness ever since he directed the Teddy Perkins episode of Atlanta.

They're really stopping an election that's already under way to erase my people from the map.

Widow’s Bay is wild and I learned 2 things about the series that totally makes sense if you’ve been watching it: 1) it was originally a Parks and Rec spec; and 2) the creator is the one in that viral Babadook meme.

My younger brother is one of the most talented, focused people I know. When he puts his mind to something he gets it done. When we were kids we loved drawing. But it was clear he was much more talented than me so I turned my attention to writing. I’d write little stories and he’d illustrate them. /1

It’s not my birthday but I love that my friends still find reasons to reach out to me out of the blue.

Not to brag but I just found out one of my TV pitches just got upgraded from “Looks great!” to “Exciting stuff!” Can’t wait for it to reach “LFG!”

Twenty years ago, TOOL released “10,000 Days” in North America and untold numbers of fans still have neck issues to this day.

MERRY MAY DAY, EVERYONE!

I’ve been a fan of Dead Pilots Society podcast by @benblacker.bsky.social & Andrew Reich for years so reading this news of how their show helped this series finally get greenlit fills me with joy. deadline.com/2026/05/eter...

Trump is getting the answer to, "What if we thew a war and nobody came."

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Our clocks have moved forward for the last time in British Columbia and she’s celebrating by refusing to acknowledge it.

First time I did coke was with a comedian buddy. We did it in a restroom stall and he flushed the toilet after “so no one thinks we’re doing coke.” I’m 88% sure this is where the rumour began that Kevin and I were fucking.

Canada is much smaller than the US, but Indonesia's population is like 280+ million people. I think an American culture that is actively anti-immigrant and encourages people to own guns "to protect themselves and their lived ones" relies on, and often encourages, a mass distrust of fellow citizens.

One of the worst things of the 21st century has been how we stopped teaching rhetoric in schools enough , to separate it from charisma and stage presence

There are so many Republican crooks and creeps still in run-offs after Tues, I'm hoping the nation gets a better look at what Dems are dealing with here.

seems bad

Ah yes, Mr Tough Guy With A Bullshit Story now breaks the bone of a fellow vet protesting this latest chapter in the Forever War. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I rarely log into FB but when I do I always get some of my favourite former students calling me out.

If you're not specifically researching Nazis and hate movements, you really need to stop posting on X. In particular, no D politician or progressive group should be on X now. Get the hell off. You endanger the people who come to see your posts there AND you expose yourself to Nazi propaganda.

ICYMI, a nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the States, targeting LGBTQIA+ voices, especially trans voices. Call your reps about H.R. 7661 ☎️

We all understand why billionaires owning communications is bad Will we transfer that to knowing why a majority white media that suppressed voices was bad too And hold at the same time that folks need arts, culture and storytelling so bad They will find a way

Writing an email to my alma mater to remind them that I helped break up a bar brawl at Gerts campus pub in 1988 when I was VP of the hockey frat so wondering if I may have one of their Hollander Hockey t-shirts when available again, merci beaucoup.

The BC Human Rights Code exists to protect people from discrimination and exclusion. I’m appalled that the BC Conservatives support repealing protections for people based on race, gender and ability. In British Columbia, human rights should never be up for debate.

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem. Whether it is Democracy Docket or another independent news outlet, please support one today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Hilarious thing to do with $2.8 billion: start a theatrical distribution business. deadline.com/2026/02/netf...

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

About once every few weeks I find myself thinking of the nightclub that Lenny Kravitz had built into his Parisian home.

Someone speculates on the answer to the question: “when AI takes our jobs…who will buy their shit?” And the market shakes. apple.news/AdFpTbzwDS8e...

Please admire my beautiful little girl—a model.

20 years ago CBC asked me to try doing sketch for a possible tv show. I’d never done sketch. I was a standup. So I found a young brilliant comic named Charlie Demers, asked him if he wanted to try it, and BUCKET was formed.

Same, Nathan. Same.

My dad read that AI will displace Hollywood writers so he got my mom to call me. I told them don’t worry. Mom: “That’s what I told him. I said AI only copies and that you’re too brilliant and original.” Anyways she’s making me a Korean meal tomorrow for being a genius son they don’t worry about.

Celebrating big time this weekend cuz my 85-year-old dad who’s been in ICU all week for a major health issue is finally cleared to go home and all he wants to do is work on his short game on the golf range.

My producer told me they’re scheduling pitches for my new TV project and honestly this is what it feels like.

Everyone who's doing business with Musk right now deserves to be scrutinized as closely as everyone in the Epstein files.

I’m not educated enough about AI to know how concerned we should be about this. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Interesting. So Trump knew about Epstein's crimes since 2006... but at the same time he doesn't know anything. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

If I were a film studio head I’d be moving heaven and earth to produce a Spanish-language buddy spy comedy with these two adventuring around the globe.

My teenaged nephew recently started playing drums. And I got him hooked on Danny Carey and TOOL this weekend. My job as uncle is done.
