From a FRANKENSTEIN screening and Q&A with Del Toro & design team: Monster’s color palette = Victor Frankenstein’s childhood home GDT wanted to make screaming castle Medusa 2 stories high - producer wouldn’t let him Actor cast as the Monster bailed 7 days before filming - Elordi was last-minute!

Doing my first AMA Monday. Sneak peek!

HOUSTON, we have a… fun time planned. Come see @daviddegrand.bsky.social and me and get our disgustingly hilarious kids’ graphic novel (or my Deadpool or comedic Jewish history book) signed! This Sunday!

Idk about the game, but so far the MVPs seem to be “keytars and mullets.”

New episode of my Jewish men’s podcast with guest Jake Tapper, on male fragility in DC and beyond, plus “Camp Ramah Confessions” youtu.be/fUXh1SYzZY0

At this point, the only Epstein Island revelation that would shock me is that it’s actually a peninsula.

Anyone know any journalists or media based in Rome? I have an interesting human interest story that’s a little crazy…

Guys, my Internet provider just figured out I’m Jewish.

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the Board of Peace!”

Why is there a DHS vote on *more* ICE funding when the BBB already funded them more than any military branch?

America’s insurance no longer covers what Dr. King prescribed.

She always does!

Alternative titles for MARTY SUPREME: “One Bad-Choice After Another” “Marty Mauser & the Search for the Prefrontal Cortex” “Da BALLS On Dis Guy!”

Another rave for the pod! Stay menschy, San Diego www.sdjewishworld.com/2026/01/12/m...

New Regina Spektor album just dropped:

The other genius technical innovation of Zoom is the 40-minute mark. Precisely long enough to get *actual* meeting business done, or - for two people catching up - to reach the point of “Sooo… who else are you in touch with…?”

SEXIST MUCH, ESCALATOR???

Right now Marco Rubio has a loop of “Lose Yourself” playing in his head 24/7.

You can’t spell “Minute Maid” without “AI”

Thanks, Hope! It’s an honor to be in such good company (and on your bookshelf!)

Apple informing me that my AppleCare has run out…

My late father used to relentlessly send everything back at restaurants, and now I’m picturing him single-handedly bringing the Pluribus empire to its knees.

“Hey kids, let’s gather around and slowly kill an adorable bear in scalding liquid!”

Just finally watching PLURIBUS, and as an author, my mind is already blown by the radical sci-fi concept of a “book tour in 2025.”

2002’s “It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas,” a loose “It’s a Wonderful Life”-knockoff not only strongly implies that Kermit caused 9/11 (see comments), it contains this “Scooter cage dance” scene that is pure nightmare fuel. Sheesh!

From the producers of “AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY” it’s “THE IRON GIANT 2: THE IRON GIANT WAS JUST BRUISED A LITTLE AND IS NOW TOSSING A BASEBALL WITH HOGARTH”

“Smithers! Pour me some of those so-called…”

Warning for aging punks

I just spent a delightful weekend devouring veteran (in both senses) writer Mark Hoffmeier’s electrifying new novel, filled with crackling action, exhilarating espionage, and glorious detail-packed evocations of 1940s Hawai’i, as well as other eras! It’s the perfect holiday “book-snuggle.”

Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar 3 Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

“I Love LA” - brought to you by Ricola

Sometimes nature memes itself

In space, no one can hear you make seltzer.

Any entertainment/comedy journalists following me or reading my feed? Dm me pls.

I just got my 2025 “BevMo Wrapped.” You do NOT want to know my liver’s age.

I know, ANOTHER Kutner project from Estonia? I was thrilled to contribute to this hilarious, madcap, and adorable animated film that comes out today. Not sure when and how it will be available to see in the US and beyond, but buckle up and WATCH OUT FOR ROBOT SANTA! vimeo.com/afilmestonia...

“Why so… FURIOUS?” The Novelizers podcast (@novelizers.bsky.social) , which I help produce, is back for a brand-new season spoofing THE DARK KNIGHT. The premiere was written by me and stars Lewis Black raging, cursing AND… singing Sondheim? You heard me! Now listen here: podfollow.com/novelizers
