sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Hoping @candlehouse.bsky.social offers slow-dances over here sometime.

I am personally responsible for ruining immersive theater and film festivals.

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

Oh no. I re-read some script pages I wrote last year, and they were good? They made me cry? Oh no! I have too many scripts that are SO CLOSE.

I absolutely adore how much Francesca loves her papa. This is the most wholesome relationship in film that I’m aware of, and I adore that I gain regular glimpses into their fun.

When I saw Compliance at SFIFF, 90% walked out— one person complained ‘this would never happen,’ clearly unaware this absolutely happened. I love how uncomfortable this film made people.

The rich guys of the Gilded Age were all assholes, but they all felt the need to at least pretend to be cultured and philanthropic (the existence of Carnegie Hall, for instance). These guys are all boobs who think it's funny when 14-year-old boys say slurs.

I don't know if this is a period of perceived success for Hawke, but between Blue Moon, The Lowdown, The Last Movie Stars, and The Good Lord Bird, he's done several of my favorite things over the past five years

You got friends who make things. Buy things from them. Picture from @stefari.bsky.social

omg

Part II of The Hunger, my new horror story, is here. Read in its entirety: medium.com/@leighalexan...

I love this young man. I’ve been dressing in a 1920s-1930s style, and it is a delight.

This is an interesting thread and all I can say is: read MASTER OF EVIL when it comes out on Tuesday. Droid sentience, free will, and freedom, is a part of the story.

Never forgive them for this.

Oh wow! These are all excellent!

Losing my mind and praying that this evolves into an event where we can come in full Life Day regalia. @nicktierce.com knows what I'm talking about.

Alex Winter on fame, AI and reuniting with Keanu Reeves: ‘Sometimes we’re on a groove and go, ‘God damn, that was good!’

I’ve emailed my friends and business partners reasons to leave substack and offered alternatives, but they’ve politely declined. Has anyone had success?

What's the best way to encourage creators you follow and admire to get off of Substack and onto a platform like Ghost without coming across as a scold? And without being complain-y, but actually helpful?

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

Another beautiful day in York, England, enjoying the city walls, a statue of Constantine, and little dogs.

Can a historian help me, is not feeding or paying your troops typically a good idea

Blown away after visiting INM-1 led by Katrin Amunts this Monday – Markus Axer and her showed us their setup of acquiring whole-brain slices (e.g. 7,000 of them to make up Bigbrain 1) – and the mesmerizing effects of polarized light on cryosectioned (raw) brain sections as can be seen in the video.

Should I come back to the US tomorrow? #Giftlink www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

So this is probably our first look to (a part) of an upcoming ship. After all, this film isn't called Starfighter for nothing.

Morning commute across the Bolinas Lagoon.

A year ago today, we had a really terrible election night, and because I know how people fall into despair I sat down at 11pm and wondered what I could tell you. I told you:

⚡KWMR sponsor Point Reyes Books are stepping up amid food insecurity in our community... ⚡They're donating November's Sunday profits to the SF-Marin Food Bank. You can also donate directly to sfmfoodbank.org #foodforall

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flight—your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government. We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide: www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

Arrived in York yesterday morning, and had a perfect night’s sleep. I don’t think I could travel if I wasn’t good at dealing with Jet lag. Coffee helps.

just a second. did you all know that Zohran Mamdani is MIRA NAIR'S SON? Mira "made the movie Monsoon Wedding" Nair? all this time I have not been knowing that he is someone who *understands the value of the arts*? (I shared a cab to Mexico City airport with her once. She's great.)

Love seeing the Mayor show up for their local film festival! Thanks for your support @ynymayor.bsky.social !

Opening night at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival!

At a pitch event at Aesthetica, and discovered the most lovely icebreaker for filmmakers. The prompt was: think of the film that made you want to make movies. It could’ve been something you loved as a child or something you just saw last week.

Happened upon the shambles here in York, and discovered a Harry Potter-esque street

I've basically switched to getting my political news about America from The Guardian (I contrasted their headlines with the NYT for a week and felt so much more informed by The Guardian.) A good overview of wins last night here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In a cafe in England, they are playing ‘Born in the USA’ and legit tearing up at this.

Director Cameo Wood has officially made it to York!! We are SO excited for THE CLOCK's INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival this week! Our #shortfilm will be screening on NOV 6 at 9 PM, NOV 8 at 5:30 PM, AND NOV 9 at 7 PM. 🎟️ Grab your tickets here: loom.ly/ey0Lhf0 #ASFF25

Just arrived in York, England for #Aesthetica! Can’t wait to share The Clock with all of you!

That was quick.

Wow! Such amazing films on @kanopy.com this month! One of my favorite under-seen films, “Cyrano, “ and of course the exceptional 10 Cloverfield Lane which is just utterly fantastic. Minari, After Yang, and First Reformed all have amazing scripts. Go watch For free!

I also had a great sunset. You can see how insulated this plane is—the windows seem like they are 11 inches deep!

I am on a plane (Airbus 380 SFO-MUC) that is so quiet, I can hear people whispering three rows ahead of me. This is so wild. I’ve never flown on such a quiet plane. I love it.
