You know who's really looking forward to the zombie apocalypse? Necrophiliacs.

If you name your son Dexter but he turns out to be left-handed, are you legally required to change his name to Sinister?

To stupid or illogical people, smart people behaving logically will always seem like a conspiracy.

Soft tacos are just lazy burritos.

With a shovel and enough lye, you can make almost any of your problems disappear.

Being a straight white male is like having a Groupon for everything.

"I'd tap that." ~Samuel Morse

It's amazing how many arguments you can win, when in the shower alone.

Dear screenwriter, there is a difference between "wary" and "weary." Kind of a significant one. #scriptsky #filmsky

My favourite kinds of beer look like the horse who pissed them was very badly dehydrated. ‬

The most powerful self-help phrase in the world is "I don't know."

I want to make a movie about a powerful wizard who lives backward in time, who becomes a sex symbol in the 1950s. It's called MERLYN MONROE #scriptsky #filmsky

This is fun, let's play. Here are the #firsttenverbs from three scripts of well-known movies. Can you guess what they are...? pours puts opens scrolls steps out pulls opens pulls kicks slings #FirstPageFriday #FunPageFriday #Scriptsky

I was annoyed by hipsters before it was cool.

Driving tip: Always assume that everyone on the road is a worse driver than you. Drive accordingly.

Happy Day to all the lovers, beekeepers and epileptics out there, from your patron saint Valentine.

“We’d like to see some consequences for this group of serial child rapists, but unfortunately they’re Too Big To Fail.”

If LLMs become self-aware, we are ethically required to treat them as people. This is self-apparent to anyone who thinks slavery is bad. Given what I know about how LLMs actually work, I don’t think they are anywhere close to being people.

I just came from an early screening of MĀRAMA, a Māori gothic horror from an excellent team led by Taratoa Stappard. It’s a banger, moody asf, with an explosive ending I’ll never forget. It opens in Aotearoa tomorrow, and in the US in April. Go find it.

I've read all of the Eric Carter books and they're bangers.

NOVELIST: Bullying causes bullying. For example, humpbacked shaggy wild oxen from a city in New York, after being bullied by other humpbacked shaggy wild oxen from from the same city, will tend to become bullies themselves to yet more humpbacked shaggy wild oxen from their city.

In my old job I went to a cast readthrough and a young actor introduced herself to me and asked what I did. I told her I was like a seagull: my job is to fly in, make a lot of noise, steal some food, shit all over everything, and then fly out again. Oh, she said, you must be the network executive.

The Super Bowl pre show so far… - Green Day singing American Idiot - Introducing by name the ASL translators - a lesbian singing the Star Spangled Banner, with backing instruments by Black women with colored hair The Super Bowl has picked a side, yo

I just got offered a role in a comedy movie. Well, actually, the hair on my back got offered the role. I’m just the life support system. #filmsky #scriptsky

I want to get a tattoo on my face. A full-face tattoo, of John Hamm's face.

TRUE FACT: 300,000 years ago, pigs almost lost a war against their cyberpig creations. They have refused to use high technology ever since.

I used to believe I wanted to live in a society where anyone could be rich but no one could be poor. I thought there should be a floor, but no ceiling. Now I think no one should be poor, and also no one should be rich enough to get away with this shit.

“Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.” ~Dorothy Parker #scriptsky #filmsky

I just saw someone post unironically about "the gay agenda." Is that still a thing people actually say? Should I be offended that the gay people I know have never told me their agenda? Look I know I'm not gay, but I could keep the minutes at the meetings or whatever.

People have been singing "O Danny Boy" for over a hundred years. You'd think the lazy mick would have answered the goddamn pipes by now.

#Filmsky, I'm looking for casting suggestions for... Australian, 40-60, male, white, bookish/academic vibes. Starts nebbishy and grows into calm authority. This is for a project set in the 80s in a government department, so I'm afraid we have to limit ourselves to pale stale males. #scriptsky

If you have self-confidence and enough shots of moonshine, any corn field can be a corn maze.

Dear screenwriter: If you have your badguys say something nasty and then break into laughter, and you're not writing a spoof... don't. Just don't. #scriptsky #filmsky

When you're as hairy as I am, the location of the dividing line between chest hair and pubic hair is mostly a matter of opinion.

"For years I gave you everything. I just wanted you to be happy. But now, poof, I'm not good enough anymore! It's not fair!" ~gluten

A while back my beard and I helped some cool people make this short film about a real life mass murder in 1866. We shot on the site of the actual murder and the V.O. is from the writing of one of the murderers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y5b... #scriptsky #filmsky

"I want to be in you." ~ cake

One day hairy backs and bitchy resting face are going to be in. And on that day, I will rule!

5 out of 4 people don't know how to use fractions.

There are two kinds of people in the world. You're the other kind.

This is the sixteenth anniversary of the day Beautiful Wife and I moved to Aotearoa New Zealand "for five years."

In zombie culture, the prefrontal, limbic, and cerebellum parts of the brain are like the three flavors in neapolitan ice cream.

Dear writers and filmmakers: Self-expression is not the same as communication. They're both valid, but be honest about which you're doing. #scriptsky #filmsky

If life starts at conception, shouldn't we celebrate conceptiondays instead of birthdays?

Today is my birthday, and is also National Hug Day. This is not a coincidence.

When Alan Turing invented his test, I think he never considered that the human side would have become so easy to fool.

When I was a teen I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I've been unwise ever since.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
