We are getting the band back together!! #bergschaffermandel

A tight race in the Michigan Senate primary, but to me, the answer is @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social. Why? Not only is she a fighter, not only do I love her work on gun control, but also SHE can take on the Republicans this fall & WIN!! Show a little love here: secure.actblue.com/donate/mm-we...

Fun night at Dodgers stadium last night-- pride night AND walk off homer for Freddie Freeman!

Back in the early 80's I used to tape #dallas and #FalconCrest for my mother and I got hooked on all the nighttime "soaps" and later #DaysofourLives as well. Now #charlottedruckman & #mayukhsen take you backstage and analyze why we watch these shows in"Love in the Afternoon and Evening"!

Proud to be the latest guest on #UnNaturalSelection talking about innovation/competition and my life in comedy writing. Was a fun one. Check it out. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

I just voted for #NithyaRaman. LA shouldn't have to choose between the failing status quo & right wing extremism. Nithya is the only candidate with the record and the plan to make LA affordable again and make City Hall work for the people. Vote @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social by June 2nd.

On May 31, 2000, #clerks the Animated Series premiered on ABC. Well, 26 years later, ABC no longer exists, but the bear is still driving!

From the incredible 2019 Academy Museum of Motion Pictures screening of the original cut of Star Wars (non special edition). Conversation between #BenBurtt and #maricalucas-- Such a talented editor, and not just the Lucas movies, she really understood story!!!! #RIP

The new $250 bill.

Happy, happy birthday to the love of my life @drrebeccamandel.bsky.social who says THIS is the only good picture I have ever taken of her. She does look good!

The D.N.C. 2024 election autopsy has finally been released. #VEEP

Perfect! #VEEP

Please call!

Just finished the audiobook of Billy Dee Williams' "What Have We Here?" Read by the author himself, tales of Star Wars, LSD trips, three ways, and Berry Gordy. Just wow.

Flash! Ah-ahhhhhh! Savior of the universe! Look who I bumped into at the new @heritageauction.bsky.social Beverly Hills!

At the #grandopening of @heritageauction.bsky.social new Beverly Hills office with #joemadelena and #toddhignite and my other Heritage faves! Some amazing collectibles on display!

Becky & I were pleased to cohost an event for @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social for #MAYOR. LA is not working, & the answer is NOT Spencer Pratt. #NithyaRaman is an urban planner with an actual plan! Ballots due June 2, 2026. So vote, volunteer & donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/nithy...

Down to #TorranceArtMuseum for the last day of the wild and woolly #RalphSteadman exhibit. His political caricatures are BRUTAL. And of course the amazing work with Hunter S. Thompson. I'd tell you to go see it, but it's gone now.

So @drrebeccamandel.bsky.social says I have only taken one good picture of her since 1988. I am saving that for her birthday. But I think this one is pretty great as it contains everything I love-- small water crafts and towels. Happy mother's day!

Happy Mothers Day to the woman who taught me how to write! (And research and love books and movies and comedy albums, and stay up late, but not do laundry because she always did my laundry!)

Got to meet #jetli and his #daughters at the @academymuseum.bsky.social for a 4K screening of Once Upon a Time in China. Now I need to see Part II on a big screen. With #KelvinMao #gerryduggan plus #FelixComicArt and #yams!

Saturday visit to see #freedomplane exhibit celebrating America's 250th at USC Fisher Museum. Amazing highlights from the #NationalArchivesFoundation including the Treaty of Paris, Articles of Confederation, & Senate's draft of the Constitution. See while we still have a United States of America!

Just finished "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard. The basis for Netflix's "Death by Lightweight" the story of the assassination of James Garfield by Charles Guiteau. But so much more, a story of modern medicine, Alexander Graham Belle, and modern politics. Highly recommend!

Still a lifelong New York Yankees fan, but nothing beats a day game at Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium. With Wade Lageose and #gerryduggan.

I have owned this book since it came out and have been embarrassed that I never quite got around to reading it. I finally did and it was just incredible The mix of murder and architecture cannot be beat!!! #thedevilinthewhitecity by #eriklarson

After listening to a whole bunch of Jim Shooter interviews over the last year, I just bought these, thanks humble bundle... www.humblebundle.com/books/valian...

The incredible new 4k version of #fightclub done to David Fincher’s exacting standards. This movie continues to suprise me— boy, edward norton gives a hilarious performance. Cant wait till may to have a copy. At the @academymuseum.bsky.social with Kelvin Mao

Beyond thrilled with this incredible #bizarrosuperman on the "Noom" by the oh so talented Gabriel Hernández Walta-- have loved his stuff since I read The Vision series, and am so pleased he agreed to do this for me! #comicart

I’m a big Dan @osbornforne.bsky.social fan—the economic populist running for US Senate in my home state of Nebraska. And in his new all-policy campaign video, a fun surprise—union-mechanic Dan can do a fantastic midcentury mid-Atlantic elitist accent parodying his rich-heir GOP incumbent opponent!

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

Finally read all of #LORNE by the wonderful #susanmorrison. I knew a lot of it, but not of all it. It's not only a fascinating exploration of #LorneMichaels and #SaturdayNightLive, but also a history of the television industry. And yes, I started with the index so I could read my quotes first!

50th anniversary screening of #network on 35mm at @amcinematheque.bsky.social , part of "Robert Duvall" series. So f-ing funny. Script by #PaddyChayefsky could have been written yesterday with entertainment division taking over news, the Saudi money, and CCA taking control of Warners... I mean UBS.

Finally found a great spot for this, "The Power Broker" courtesy of the incredible #berniekaminski. If you don't know his work, check it out. #robertcaro

This has been a joy to help bring into this fucked-up world.

Found these in a drawer, still good right???
