Thank you for your service, Taters! 🐱

I have that trigger-finger itch to post about the thing. But that would do nothing but make me more upset when jag-offs comment and this is the entire history of social media.

Can’t think of a better way to spend Easter. 🤖

As I've gotten older, I've gotten both more tolerant of folks who have different broad life experiences, and less tolerant of people very much like me who choose to do and support Bad Things.

Phew. WGA deal. Good work, negotiating committee.

In the past week, I've had two different people ask me "is it true that all Hollywood writers are secretly using AI, just not admitting it?" Nope. It would literally be more work to prompt-jockey something. Let me introduce you to the secret writer's time-saver: the BRAIN.

Conversation I just had with a barista. Barista: Oh! My mom's name is Jenny! Me: Yeah, I feel like every American woman my age was named a version of Jennifer. Barista: That's what my mom says. Reader, in no world did I imagine her mom to be my age. But, sigh... tracks.

It's just so freaking sad. www.wsj.com/business/med...

brain... getting... weaker.... Must be... in writers room... soon.

Oh my! Yes, please. deadline.com/2026/04/wagn...

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

April Fools is cancelled. I can't be responsible for my reaction if someone tries me.

Read Drew Goddard's 2022 draft of Project Hail Mary that was floating around online. Dude is such a fantastic writer. It's a mini screenwriting course to read his stuff. 🤯

Hey since everyone is falling in love with Wunmi Mosaku, a reminder that she was the voice of Azi on Scavengers Reign. This scene is from one of the episodes I wrote! www.youtube.com/watch?v=haFB...

I was reminded today how essential this man and this video was to little me's (desperately hetero) sexual awakening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrNt...

But THAT IS NOT HOW I DO IT so it must be BAD and WRONG

RIP Sora. It’s been (not) real.

Nail salons need to offer the Nail Biter Luxury Package. Where they massage oil into your nubs, clean up your cuticles, paint that bad-tasting polish on, and congratulate you on going X number of days without munching.

Omg if you’re an aspiring screenwriter, please ignore any and all sneering, bitter, fear-driven stuff like this. Yuck. 🤢

Project Hail Mary. 😘🥰

Somewhere in my upbringing I internalized the bullshit misogynist edict that women of a certain age are irrelevant. Hate that for me.

Going to a cat cafe in a little bit to "get some writing done." It's a fun little lie I tell myself. Good times.

oh god i need to get offa all this

The 'Soolaimon' segment in "Song Sung Blue" is so fantastic that I've re-watched it several times.

Oh man. If you haven't seen it, the short doc "All the Empty Rooms" on Netflix is amazing. ❤️

I know this happens every year, but the sheer bitterness from film bros over Sinners wins is ins -- oh. That's right.

So happy for Coogler. That script reads like BUTTER. Amazing work.

Autumn Durald Arkapaw❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰

Can confirm. If you're lucky, you'll catch a couple of the cats just lounging on the (holy shit 2,000-years-old!) ruins. It's... so Rome.

Let people enjoy the Oscars. 😜🔥

In general, can we all agree that "move fast and break things" is the worst unifying principle for absolutely anything ever.

A lot of the stagnation in Hollywood right now derives from the Silicon Valley "move fast and break things" mentality at the top. All the creative execs are terrified that if they gamble on the wrong project, they'll be one of the broken things.

🤯 I think I've reached the stage of life where there will always be something that's a 'lil achey in my body. Noooooooooo.

So glad all these little DOGE brats are being exposed for the sniveling, ignorant thugs they are.

A super fun thing to do in these times is to look up your area on that Nuke Strike site to see how you'd fare if LA was targeted. (yes, I'd be toast.)

I'm absolutely lousy with longing today. Longing for so so much, so so hard.

Amazing directing by actor/director Shawn Hatosy on this last episode of The Pitt.

The latest episode of Paradise destroyed me. Big, ugly tears. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Erewhon Tonic Bar is the 10th circle of hell.

HARPER Yasmin, what is she doing here? 🤯🤯

Petition to get rid of "female" as a descriptor in screenplay loglines. You don't have to mention that it's a "female" doctor, cop, fire fighter, scientist, etc. Those jobs have been done by women for decades now. No reason we assume gender for any profession in the year of our Lord 2026.

YESSSSSS. deadline.com/2026/03/paul...

Holy sh*t the season finale of Industry. Lordy Lordy.

What the actual. (Evergreen)

Working in Hollywood right now means 75% of your energy is devoted to compartmentalizing all the awfulness.

I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords.

Paradise S2 eps1 is top-tier tv. Dan Fogelman is incredible.

100% on board with Coogler's X-Files. Jennifer Yale, godspeed!

Just saw an awesome docu at the Pan African Film Fest. "The Interrogator," about firebrand politician Barbara Jordan. Amazing. High recommend. Go to the screenings here in LA, or catch it on PBS soon.
