I love autumn in Vancouver.

About to take out 3 film pitches (2 IP-based) and 1 tv pitch and I feel like my buddy who sold encyclopedias door to door in the mid-90s. #scriptsky

I am once again grateful that my parents aren’t on Facebook because of a lie I told them in 2007 that it costs money to join. They’re gullible and way too trusting of their son but the sanest of their friends.

Rapture pro tip: wear new underwear. Trust me on this!!

One of the best things about growing up with talented friends is watching the world recognize what you’ve always known: that they’re a superstar. From East Vancouver to the catwalks of Europe.

Netflix’s NEXT GEN CHEF may be my favourite competitive reality cooking series. It’s the most fair, gentle, supportive and inspiring show I’ve seen in this genre.

they should invent a rapture for podcasts

Need at least 36 more years to process things

NEW: Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom announced today that they have all recognized the State of Palestine

I was working here in the US on a nonimmigrant visa a mere year ago. It was a DECADE of dutifully paying my taxes, paying thousands of dollars in processing fees to renew my visa every 2-3 years. I can't imagine the utter betrayal H-1B visa holders are feeling right now.

I’ll be surprised if any of these “free speech” comedians speak up. In 2005 during a comedy fest backstage poker game a very famous dude called me “yellow plague” all night cuz I kept taking his money. Only one comic defended me. Most of them are cowards sucking at the teat of fame & wealth.

She will whine until I open the restroom door to make sure I’m not dead.

One of the best professional decisions I ever made was casting Briggon The Big Loop episode “Goodbye Mr. Adams” cuz it made us friends for life. Incredible talent and integrity in one human.

Rich people, especially rich people in the media & entertainment industries right this moment: The point of having fuck you money is saying “fuck you” when it counts.

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

I'm a single issue voter, and my issue is "the government shouldn't be fascist."

The reality is ? You should be rip roaring in the streets angry about Kimmel . Not just canceling , but shutting it down And you should be doing that with a full willingness to examine what went SO DAMN WRONG that it got to this point

This is the MAGA path to martial law and the Insurrection Act.

tell me which side is anti-comedy and anti-free speech again

Pitbulls are so aggressive. #adoptdontshop

Rereading the short fiction for @apexmag.bsky.social issue 151 (coming out Oct 7th) and it is so, so good. I know! I know! I'm biased! I selected the stories for the issue, but the combination of dark fantasy, body horror, and subtle spookiness is fantastic!

I love that this movie is in people’s timelines right now—a film inspired by a student the screenwriter met in college who turned him on to politics through her activism against the House Un-American Acitivities Committee.

An important read. I myself labelled him as an Ultra Conservative in a skeet, and he was not. I was an idiot to say anything without confirmation. It turns out, he was weirdly apolitical, going back to my initial reaction that he might have just hated Kirk. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I watched Out Of Africa during a formative year in high school and his character challenged my notions of manhood. Like, you can be a badass lone wolf outdoorsman *and* help a woman with her hair while reciting Coleridge? Blew my adolescent mind. RIP Robert Redford.

Redford was a movie star who didn’t have to do anything except be a movie star, who in the second chapter of his life saw a need in his industry and I think earnestly tried to help. Sundance is complicated like everything, but I feel confident we are much better off for it.

This one hurts. He was in so many off my favourite films and embodied Hollywood to me. RIP to a legend.

I hope you all read this from me.

Hollywood now has an AI talent agent. Even worse: he’s Korean. theankler.com/p/meet-ari-t...

To all my group chats: I’ve been divorced, climbed out of a mountain of debt, found love again, and successfully made major career changes several times. I’ve earned the right to HAHA my own texts.

I really think so many conservatives are snapping because they know deep down the people who they elected dont care about them, but because they hate non-conservatives so much and dont want to feel betrayed, they're going to cling to the culture wars.

Here's how to support my work: I'll be teaching a version of my Columbia class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month for @resistanceschool.bsky.social. The course is online/ hybrid. Deadline is Sept. 19th! Sign up! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The blast radius of that Georgia raid has already reached Tennessee

Congrats to Stephen Colbert on his show’s win. Brillian way to go out on the very network that threw him under the bus. #emmys

About once a month I find this song stuck in my head and I wish this was a real band.

I brought a case of beer to my neighbour for loaning me his tools and he invited me to join his friends. I learned his friends work in gaming in Vancouver. Turns out they all worked with my brother who was art director at Radical then Microsoft. I love how Vancouver still feels like a small town.

It’s finally raining in Vancouver and this dude is inspiring me to work. #scriptsky

My neighbour loaned me his sawskil and one of those oscillating multi tools with a blade to cut screws. He saved the day. Gonna return his tools tonight with a case of beer.

Any carpenters with advice on how to get these deck screws out? I tried my extractor drill bit but a demon must be pulling on the other end. Won’t budge.

Friday night lights.

Thanks to readers and retailers. Punisher: Red Band #1 is going to a second printing.

She can’t wait to start the day with another nap.

I’ve never watched Sex and The City. (I’ve seen episodes here and there.) That changes tonight as I join my wife on her rewatch. She even made us margaritas to get me in the mood.
