Random Holiday Party Guest: "Hey, good to see you. How ya doin?" Me: "I'm excited that the custom Star Trek: Lower Decks uniform tunic I ordered in August finally arrived yesterday. It's pretty cool. Can't wait to wear it" Random Party Guest: "...." Me: (realizes I need to work on my small talk)

“Use AI to write your emails.” I went to 12 years of public school and 5 years of private university specifically for the purpose of being able to compose my own thoughts exactly how I want to convey them, so no thank you.

There is a 100% chance that the stage and lighting crews had a betting pool about when and which actor would be injured first.

Well this is sad news. Hero Within made great Star Trek merch. I'm currently waiting for my much anticipated Lower Decks uniform tunic to arrive in the mail.

The “Everybody Loves Raymond” 30th annniversary special is on tonight on CBS & Paramount+! I couldn’t have been more fortunate to write there for 6 seasons. This piece is a lovely perspective on the show www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/a...

‘RENTAL FAMILY’ is fantastic. Easily in my top 3 movies this year. I’m so glad Brendan Frazer is back. Don’t miss it. And see it in a theater because the cinematography is exquisite.

This is a bummer. It was the main show I kept Peacock for. Shopping it around to new networks with a new lead is...an interesting idea. deadline.com/2025/11/peac...

“You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation. You got a brand new soul, Mmm, and a cross of gold. But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information. You didn't count on me, When you were counting on your rosary. Oh-whoa-whoa…”

It's super weird that VES seems to be handing out this template to award judges and encouraging them to write LinkedIn style essays about what a special honor it is to be selected as a judge. Judging is open to all members. I swear, sometimes VES can be the most "pick me" organization in Hollywood.

Americans have no idea what socialism means In the civilized parts of the world it means people have the power to choose to not be screwed over by rapey, greedy corporate thugs. That’s it. That’s all it means

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

So wholesome! Pros give an aspiring artist tips on how to draw Frieren:

I like science Bluesky. People in my replies discuss that it would be more fuel-efficient to catapult Chuck Schumer out of the solar system than to yeet him into the sun.

It's Friday, and apparently bluesky is ready for this fun revelation: Dinosaurs lived on the other side the Galaxy.

Last night I and Kirsten Beyer were guests on the live podcast Salon Trek. We talked about the development of the STAR TREK: KHAN audio drama series from CBS and Realm, and reveal some behind-the-scenes technobabble we cut while writing KHAN, and voice-casting issues. youtube.com/live/wyPC1gY...

Today the TV Academy had an event called "Chats on Splats" that promised to show "how Gaussian Splats can lead to more creative freedom and a more realistic look for your TV visual effects" but the first half hour was just the math behind spats. Know your audience, folks. It's not a SIGGRAPH paper.

Actor didn’t appear on cue? Problematic stage trap

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

Great news! I just finished rewatching all of Stargate Atlantis so I’m ready for something new. I hope they’ll do more than 8 episodes a season. Maybe Amazon will take a lesson from The Pitt. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

“Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation ever studied.” Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist newrepublic.com/article/2030...

So the Corridor Crew did a video with Adam Savage about the movie 2001, and they used some infographics that I supervised for a documentary called '2001: Creating Kubrick's Space Odyssey' www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Jf... . without crediting the movie they lifted them from. Not cool, in my opinion.

Rental Family was the best film I’ve seen in years! I am so happy for everyone who made it. I laughed. I cried and I am so proud of Mari Yamamoto, my best friend, my co-writer at the @thedailybeast —the person who helped make #TokyoVice an authentic series! おめでとう🎊 #RentalFamily
