Life actually is the same except for my shoes. I gotta stop wearing Crocs.

I wonder if Jimmy Fallon has fake laughed so often that he no longer knows how to laugh for real?

Barney Miller and WKRP in Cincinnati are two of the most underrated shows in television history.

How many album covers from the 1980s would now be marketed as “A.I. generated”??? 🙄

I just put my symptoms into chatGPT, and it said I either have a common cold or I’m a Peruvian alpaca with Crohn’s disease.

In 2018, an FBI agent speaking to a writers room I was in, said “The legalization of sports betting is going to give organized crime more power and influence than it’s had in 50 years.”

Remember AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH? Al Gore’s 2006 film that everyone mocked? Go watch it again - literally everything he predicted would happen in the next 20yrs has happened. We are doomed.

Dodgers Blue Jays World Series is going to be great. 🙏🙏

Just a reminder - there is NO such thing as an “AI actress.” AI is not and never will be anything close to human despite all the marketing and hype.

The Dodgers’s bullpen yields more runs than an incontinent octogenarian.

Why are MLB players suddenly wearing more jewelry than Coco Chanel?

One of you should start a podcast.

The movie CLUELESS was released 30 years ago this week. You’re welcome.

I can finally share this publicly… I am the player to be named later.

How ironic is it that we have a national holiday to celebrate our independence from an autocracy while we are living in an autocracy.

I could never watch the Battlestar Galactica episode of PORTLANDIA too much. ❤️

The only thing tougher than being a @pirates.com fan is subscribing to their embarrassing emails where they try to convince you the owner actually gives a shit.

First was the flatbill trend; convincing millions of men they were cool if they looked like Gomer Pyle. Then came the even more ridiculous trend of leaving the product stickers on the hat. Now the “I’m an idiot” bar has been raised again with the inverted text trend.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy Ramen and that is pretty much the same thing.

Jacob M. Appel is a brilliant writer. Check him out.

I rarely scream, but when I do, it’s usually for no reason at all.

Who knew that Infinite Jest would end up being a work of non-fiction….

How can you tell if someone needs encouragement? If they’re breathing.

Sometimes, deep into the middle of the night, all one can do is listen to Laurie Anderson’s Big Science album in its entirety.

There is a special place in hell reserved for dudes who talk on the phone while using public restrooms.

Here’s the head fake part deux… His billionaire “buddies” are selling short right now. Then he’ll pull back on the tariff stuff, etc, claim victory as prices go back up, and his “buddies” make more & more. This isn’t politics, folks. It’s the original WALL STREET flick.

For those who missed the head fake… his billionaire buddies are WANTING him to throw the economy into turmoil - so they can then scream, “Government doesn’t work!” and thus, privatize everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Watch and see.

Run faster than you can.

I miss Tom Petty and Anthony Bourdain. And a bunch of others.

I think I may be in a codependent relationship with eBay.

Will someone please call Keith Morrison about this whole Gene Hackman/Betsy Arakawa/dog situation???

RIP to The Pantry. A true LA icon. I had a lot of great meals and great meetings there with writers and LEOs.

Imagine how much better our world would be if clicking unsubscribe actually worked.

Back when I had a FB account I made some incendiary posts on how Dave Parker wasnt in MLB’s HOF due to racism. I pointed out his numbers are better than 13 current white members. It went a bit viral & whether I had anything to do with it or not, I’m so happy “The Cobra” is final getting in!

If you think you wrote something with AI — no you didn’t. Other people wrote it, and you just used a plagiarism machine to keep yourself from knowing their names.

I’ve officially stacked my sub. paulguyotwriter.substack.com?r=1r2pnk&utm...

Full confession: I still cry at the end of SCHOOL OF ROCK.

I love Kamala Harris, and don’t want to say anything negative, but I am very disappointed how she has ghosted me after texting me so often prior to the election. 😔

As we roll into the heaviest shopping time of the year, please buy books and please buy them from independent bookstores. You’ll feel and be better, and the people you give the books to will feel and be better.

Still probably my favorite card from any writers room ever. #LEVERAGE @johnrogers.bsky.social

@thorneidentity.bsky.social have you seen THE FRANCHISE?

@harthanson.bsky.social Okay, I’m here. Now what do we do? Just more writing aphorisms and shoe pics?
