Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

Far be it from me to defend the NFL, but the Justice Department, as we well know is now just the Trump Personal Grievance Department and he's still salty they didn't let him buy the Bills all those years ago.

A WISH WITH WINGS has three starred reviews and is out next month!

Back on my bullshit, but it is unconscionable that in the year 2026 with a new Mummy movie coming soon and the popularity of The Gilded Age and the resurgence of Agatha Christie adaptations that there isn't a prestige TV Amelia Peabody adaptation.

saw something annoying but ultimately inconsequential, almost quote-skeeted it to talk shit, and then reminded myself that I neither can nor should engage with every piece of nonsense and can just move on with my day instead * pats self on back *

Stunning outcome. Who could possibly have predicted this?

One day, not too far into the future, these MFers are going to try and pretend like they weren't willing accomplices in every feckless policy of this fascist President. Don't let them forget.

Great moment (and great call @tylermaun.com)

George Orwell never said that, but what he did say was, “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. ”

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

...Weirdly proud of the company that I had to sue because they willfully stole from me and my peers to make their plagiarism machine.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We live in the worst timeline.

Salary range is $160,000 - $210,000, which is the first time I've ever felt "left behind" for not embracing AI. Imagine paying a senior editor that much. www.publishersmarketplace.com/jobs/view.cg...

Gymnast Suni Lee Kicks off Countdown to 2028 Summer Olympics www.today.com/video/suni-l...

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.” she did it! her! way!!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Forget Ilia Malinin for two seconds. This is Kazakhstan's first Winter Olympic gold medal since Lillehammer 1994, when Vladimir Smirnov won the men's 50km cross-country skiing. That was 10 years before Mikhail Shaidorov was born.

We also use this term in gymnastics.

IT'S TIME....

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Olympics announcer just said "we're not Yoda, we can't predict the future" and I could feel a million nerds cry out in pain.

"Black Sails" and it's not even close

Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor (1975)...

Every news story should lead with this. If they don’t, they’re lying to you.

The Stranger Things finale was perfect in the way we very rarely get perfect endings on TV, but used to get much more frequently. 10000/10 no notes.

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

There are only two sides of humanity. We aren't divided by religion or politics or geography or generation or language. We are only divided by the people who are cool with innocent people being murdered and the people who aren't.

SURPRISE I have room in my schedule for script reads/notes. I've done this for years for a range of clients from fresh newbies to transitioning directors/actors and even showrunners and EPs. You get a read + thorough feedback. My rates are: Feature: $200 Pilot: $140 1/2 hr: $100

Let them fight.

You will be visited by three spirits

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Ends tomorrow!

Fuck around and find out Gen Z.

Under the bus you go. CNN: 'The White House said Monday that Adm. Frank M. Mitch Bradley, commander of the US Special Operations Command, was responsible for ordering a second, targeted strike on an alleged drug vessel operating in the Caribbean…after the first strike did not kill everyone aboard.'

Genuinely pathetic on multiple levels, but just speaking academically, she could have written the essay she wanted to write had she simply approached it in a way that addressed the rubric's requirements and instead she went on a Boomer style Facebook rant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My heart has grown ten sizes seeing everyone talk about HEATED RIVALRY and Canadian TV. The Canadian TV industry is absolutely bursting with talent both in front of and behind the camera. I was witness to that first hand on set of FINDING HER EDGE which was nearly *entirely* a Canadian production.

Thinking about how people don’t believe you can have sex AND yearning in a romance book or show and how that squares with puritanical ideas about sex being the ultimate prize in life.

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
