We have a premiere date! RJ DECKER: March 3rd on ABC and Hulu #RJDecker🐊🌴🦩☀️

"Off to script."

Using your speech to single out and thank individual (and invisible) crew is classy.

Turned in an outline that’s heading out to the world. I used to think nothing would top getting my first shot and getting staffed... but this first job after a 3.5-year stretch in the doldrums might be even sweeter. Grateful, and holding space for everyone still in it. #KeepGoing

Watching THE PITT and recognized one of the doctors. We cast Irene Choi in the SCANDAL web series I wrote. Full-circle moment.

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR!!!

2025 was a mixed bag. But a glimmer of promise surfaced in the last months... notably that I was hired to write for this show. So I start the new year filled with optimism and tremendous gratitude. Bring on 2026! 🥂🥳 RJ DECKER coming to ABC soon! 🐊🌴🌞

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, went on to win the All Valley Karate Tournament against Johnny Lawrence by using the iconic Crane Kick.

Pitch for a game show: CINEMOM 🎬 Contestants guess the movie from my mom’s descriptions: “A Christmas movie, maybe SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, with the bald guy from THE BABYSITTER, but kinda like STAR WARS.” Answer: RED ONE

Turned in my first story document to the studio in years.

Every day.

Rob Reiner’s films weren't just successful, they became the standard. And his range was astonishing. Fantasy to rom-com, thriller to heartfelt drama... he didn't let genre box him in. He reminded me storytelling is about heart and relationships. Grateful for the lessons his work gave me. RIP.

This is a great thread on favors in the industry -- what to ask for and when. But also contains a lesson in not holding people back just so you can get ahead. Be known as someone who's kind, who's generous and who's supportive, not someone who fucks people over.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Share a 90’s movie that you think deserves more love.

The WICKED sequel titling discourse seems like the perfect opportunity to dredge up that there was never a RAMBO II or JURASSIC PARK II.

SCANDAL did it first... and did it better.

Where was IGN to talk me through why Godzilla isn't in LOST IN TRANSLATION?

Lemme see if I've got this right... 15-year-old girls are "barely legal" but 20-something men in a Young Republican group chat are a "bunch of kids."

For so many years I chased a 1:45 finish, but it largely eluded me. This is, I think, my sixth race in a row where I cracked it. Guess it's time for a new goal. 🏃‍♂️🌞🏅 #SantaBarbaraHalfMarathon #KeepGoing

I take it by the explosions outside, Dodgers won?

Ah yes, another classic tale of the Puerto Rican immigrant, journeying from the faraway land of the United States. Yes, this is a subskeet.

I worked Pedro Pan into the backstories of characters in two of my pilots, in the hopes that one day I could tell this story. But I'm glad someone is finally doing it. deadline.com/2025/10/pedr...

I haven't been the biggest fan of SLOW HORSES's recurring fart humor, but the gag certainly paid off this season. Well played.

Today, on the first day of my last quarter of WGA health insurance -- after 3 years, 5 staffing meetings, and countless generals -- I finally got the call to join a room. Time to get back to work. And for those still fighting, it was due to a pilot spec I wrote 6 months ago. So KEEP WRITING!

Post a you from a different era

Jimmy should have Iger on stage for the entirety of the first show back. Not to speak. Not to be interviewed. Just to sit there and think about what he did. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I grew up devouring the adventures of Encyclopedia Brown, Ramona and Fudge -- they were fun. But they were never a reflection of me. How I wish CHARLIE HERNÁNDEZ existed back then! Ryan Calejo's series brings Latin myths to life. If you enjoy Percy Jackson, check it out. #LatinxHeritageMonth

Wasn't planning back-to-back memoirs, but for "reasons" I'm highlighting LIGHTS OUT by Dania Rosa Nasca -- an unflinching look at how how a charismatic leader rose to power, then turned on his people, calling dissenters gusanos and rewarding betrayal. Raw. Emotional. Furious. #LatinxHeritageMonth🇨🇺

Today's book rec is a wonderful memoir. FINDING MAÑANA by Pulitzer-winner Mirta Ojito is both a powerful firsthand account of life in '70s Cuba and a gripping history of the “ARGO meets DUNKIRK” Mariel Boatlift. Ojito gives the Marielitos the humanity SCARFACE erased. #LatinxHeritageMonth 🇨🇺

So good, I read it twice, @alexsegura.bsky.social's SECRET IDENTITY is a noir thriller set in '70s NYC comic book scene. Followup ALTER EGO delves into modern adaptations. Both feature complex heroines tackling sexism, identity, art and legacy. Oh! Alex writes STAR WARS, too! #LatinxHeritageMonth

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

Kicking off #LatinxHeritageMonth with one of my favorite books in the past year: HOUSE OF BONE AND RAIN by @gabino.bsky.social. Set in Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria, this genre mashup of noir and horror is a beautifully nuanced story of friendship, revenge, trauma and loss. I loved this book!

How many people don't get recognized in the In Memoriam cuz they're wasting seconds on the performers singing? #Emmys

Follow-up question, Mr. President. Now that you've moved on from the shooting, when can we expect you to return to releasing the Epstein list?

He didn't deserve to be murdered. He peddled in hate, espousing no Christian value I was ever raised on. I do not celebrate his death. I do not waste a single tear on his loss. All these truths can coexist.

She will always be Mrs. Deagle. Oh, how she twirled that mustache... #RIP #PollyHolliday

Are there really two movies titled GOOD BOY coming out at the same time?

Every day, I get up hoping he hadn't "woke" in the morning.

The satisfaction of typing "End of Pilot" is matched by the dread after sending it to your reps. But it got done!

Was I happy to have an Ortegas-centered episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS?

In Los Angeles, summer is from September thru October. Every year. This is nothing unusual. Around this time last year, we were in a triple digit heat wave.

A feature I once had a meeting to write was announced recently. In the Berenstein Bears universe, I wrote it. In this one, I was punched in the heart.

Despite being a little late to the party, I somehow got to see WEAPONS unspoiled!

Leave your kids with me, expect them to become STAR WARS fans.
