The weirdest stuff comes up in aspiring-screenwriter circles. "Adverbs are lazy." Okay, sure, man, you do you. Cut that whole tool right out of your toolbox.

The weirdest part of post-appendectomy recovery - the distended, pregnant-like belly still there after 4 days.

Had my appendix out yesterday, y’all! They showed me a very metal pic of my removed organ. It was gangrenous! 😘

Gonna be safely out of town for the '28 Olympics. Just sayin.

I wonder how many TV writers, at this exact moment, are thinking, "gosh, I hope that mini-room I just finished becomes a full season order." Me, it's me.

[Exit Bastard.]

This Hollander/Rozanov thing is giving me LIFE.

"When the Santa Ana winds blow, all things are possible." -- Some wise old Angelino, probably.

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

Back in the States and I forgot how much BIGGER everything is here - stores, streets, parking lots, tables, portions. Is that good or bad? No idea. But I heart you, America.

American can we not. (Evergreen post)

Oh boy. Strap in, LA. I’m back.

THIS. youtube.com/shorts/eadJU... But done to "Mnah Mnah" by the Muppets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbZ_...

Watching the beginning of Skyfall and Daniel Craig shooting his cuffs after jumping onto a moving train is one of the sexiest things ever in cinema history.

The weirdest AI garbage that TikTok tries to feed me is fake BTS footage. Like "behind the scenes on the set of Titanic" only it's clearly not Leo or Kate or even on the sets they used. Who is making this stuff? There are hours of ACTUAL BTS Titanic footage. What are we doing?

This Qatari production and post tax credit situation is... concerning.

Ten years of daily assaults on even the most minimal decency. I still haven't gotten used to it.

I'm pretty excited to be heading back to LA for a while. Sure it's friends, blah blah blah but, like, really, it's about the Mexican and margs.

TV writers, what's everyone's fave software for breaking and weaving episodes these days? Favorite digital cards-on-a-wall?

Yes, Oh yes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fLC...

It won't matter. The far-right Christian world "forgives" men for raping children. As long as they're girl-children.

About to start a new gig and realizing I'm in desperate need of stylish-writer-chick clothing. Ideas? Recommendations?

Even before it was taken over by Nazis, twitter was a toxic, dark place. Completely nuking my account was the healthiest thing I've done in the past few years. If you haven't already, delete your account. Don't leave it there, tempting you with its ugly, slimy soul.

I support Plur1bus’s mission of giving an X-Files writer what appears to be a billion dollars.

I'm so baffled by some of the nonsense being taught to aspiring screenwriters because most of it can be refuted by... reading screenplays.

It's pure joy to watch Vince Gilligan killing it again and again.

Can someone please stop these tech fools from killing us all with their dirty shell-game? P and TY

All thumbs up for Pluribus!

Bitches and hos. Story at 11.

The Diplomat continues to have the most interesting depiction of marriage on tv today.

Essential reading about how our entire economy has been warped by a bunch of woo woo nonsense

Cats' whiskers evolved in such a way as to perfectly interrupt human beings' REM sleep so that we will feed them on command. In other words, cat whiskers are people-waker-uppers.

Have discovered a new writing hack that I can't believe any of you people never shared with me before - BEAN BAG. I'm sunk into this thing with my laptop and it's the best.

YES @joehenderson.bsky.social ! It's a good day for adult animation! deadline.com/2025/10/ener...

Stampy, cleaning it UP!!!!\

Was just re-reading the pilot script for Pushing Daisies and my God it's still so so good.

The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix is stunning.

Saw Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach walking around Richmond today. In town for Narnia I think.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

It seems like the newest attempt to squeeze $$$ from aspiring screenwriters is a “screenwriting cruise.” 7 days of pay-to-play pitching and “networking”… but ON A BOAT! Nightmare fuel.

I’m really mad I’m not as good at anything as Shohei Ohtani is at baseball.

In London the rally Saturday is called “No Tyrants.” Cuz, ya’ know, “No Kings” doesn’t really work here. Awkward! 😬

Hey why didn't "SSDD" become a text abbreviation for Same-Shit-Different-Day?

I use the word “just” too much across the board. Have to go into my drafts and do a nuke-the-justs pass every time.

Having moved from LA to London, the urban wildlife is so different. No raccoons. No coyotes. FOXES. Wiry, shadowy figures that dart across the road at night. They are FOREVER SNEAKING. I ❤️ them.

Hey does anyone know of a resource for chapter-by-chapter synopses of novels? Wiki doesn’t have the ones I’m looking for.

What is the toxic psychological phenomenon called whereby I look at forums online that will actively annoy/enrage me?

YESSSS. Put it in my veins. deadline.com/2025/10/stum...

John Candy: I Like Me on Prime is fantastic. ❤️

It’s amazing the destruction one asshole can create. www.latimes.com/california/s...
