If Nick Bilton's pivot to run 60 Minutes means he doesn't have time for his Hawaiian mafia movie w/ The Rock & Scorsese, hit me up! My uncle was in the Hawaiian mob & I wrote a script inspired by the real history. (Or if anyone else wants to read, get in my DMs!)

Missed a shuttle bus by 30 seconds, now waiting in shuttle purgatory for the next one that appears to be nonexistent #WaitingForGodot2

Incalculable harm. In precedent, in cost, in absolving and normalizing crimes against the Constitution. I need to believe we’ll dig out of this but sometimes I don’t know, man.

Bold move by Lithuania to make their Eurovision representative Destro

June 28, come see the artistic event that my fellow creatives & I have crafted in Fuller Seminary's Resilient Artist Project! The theme: "Shalom: the work of restoring relationships, reintroducing presence, and putting things back into their right place" www.eventbrite.com/e/the-lighte...

Seeing Jerry Seinfeld tonight at the Greek. Complicated feelings about him these days, but I’d be lying if I said this didn’t mean a lot to the kid who read Seinlanguage until the cover fell off.

Out seeing Charlie Puth, the Christopher Cross of our time! (complimentary)

Who told rideshare drivers to keep windows halfway down at all times My hairstyle is not wind-proof 😞 and I am not a cigarette smoke fish and therefore do not breathe that natively Give me all the AC 🙏

Flying out to CHICAGO! for the DAF x The Onion writing workshop. Trying not to take the airport’s NO JOKES sign as bad omen. 👀

As a huge Superman fan, mixed emotions about the guy next to me on the plane watching SUPERMAN! (2025)… on his phone

Is this so that she can create a master "Don't fund these places" list orrrr...? ✅

Flying to Chicago Friday because I got into the 2026 DAF x The Onion Writing Workshop. I love topical comedy — sketch writing, late-night coverage at LateNighter, now this. Building something in journalism or screenwriting that could use that perspective? Keep me in mind.

A joy seeing @benmckenzie.bsky.social discuss his excellent crypto documentary, Everyone Is Lying To You For Money. Because they are. (Also got my The O.C. oral history book by @sepinwall.bsky.social signed and met the guy who first inspired me to get into TV writing — thanks, Josh Schwartz.)

Crypto is Mary Kay for Men 💄

The most fun I’ve had in a while

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

Was browsing Google Maps street view to look at bike paths in LA, and then I found this image. Which radio reporter is this? Looks kinda John Rabe-shaped but the blurry face+low resolution makes your guess as good as mine. Original link: maps.app.goo.gl/cDy5nGnX3kyY...

I got the lucha version of the Triple H pointing photo! Rey Mysterio’s new cartoon looks dope as hell, shout out to @mexopolis.bsky.social & Hermanos Calavera for killing it with the animation!

Fascinating answer by @felicia.day at #WonderCon about her relationship w/ Joss Whedon, saying he’s been a mentor to her, he’ll always be a friend. “Some stories get complicated.” Thoughtful, complex answer; Felicia’s wonderful.

Had a blast talking the freedom of the press and coming up with ideas for what to do next at the Press Freedom Summit with SPJ/LA the other week; this was the breakout session I was in, which was a delight:

Most beautiful billboard I've seen in a long time:

If you are not listening to Hit Parade, it is (other than my own, @thirty20eight.bsky.social) the best podcast out there, full stop. I have learned so much from this show, and many thanks to this peek behind the curtains by @cmolanphy.bsky.social

Excited to check out the Storytelling360 State of the Story screenwriting event at Harmony Gold. Franklin Leonard, Cord Jefferson, Diablo Cody, Kevin Smith and more - LET’S GOOOOOOO!

well im sure this won't be abused by the government to cut disability welfare.

Seeing Rizzler and the Costco Guys makes me really want some Costco double chocolate chunk cookies #AEWRevolution

I had the pleasure of meeting The Internet’s Popehat today, which I think means I just scored in Terminally Online Bingo

Sharing ideas to protect the press and make our media ecosystem better at the @spj-posts.bsky.social L.A. Press Freedom Summit. Can we fight for access and make journalism that grabs people and makes them excited, engaged, and ready to care? I still believe we can.

ME: wow it’s still light out at 6 pm CLOCK: I’m lying to you ME: that’s right!!

Thinking through the new Harry Styles album, realizing I prefer when he discos all the time, kisses occasionally. It's still good! But I'm not as drawn to it on repeat as the last couple. (I miss you, Harry's House.)

Having fun pitching a few projects at the @roadmapwriters.com virtual conference this weekend — feeling inspired to keep outrunning the AI on writers’ heels! 🏃‍♂️ 💨 🤖 #RoadmapConference26

Given all the discourse today about Bluesky vs. X... seems like good timing for @lastweektonight.com's latest video on just how bad X has become... www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG...

"If you love Spider-Man so much, why were you so mean to him?" Because that's the job of a Spidey writer. To stack the deck against him. Being Spider-Man isn't supposed to be easy. Aunt May says it best.

Just launched an updated portfolio of my entertainment journalism (TV, pop culture, and the business/craft around it). If you’re hiring editorial roles, assigning stories, or know someone who is, I’d love to connect: mikeroe.journoportfolio.com

being addressed as "gumshoe" while rockapella lays down a sick track could fix me

Misheard someone saying "carrying costs" as "carrion costs" and now just picturing rotting death being carried by a business, which, also fits!

In the scene depicted, the instructor is teaching quantum physics and temporal mechanics. She calls out a student who is being an ass and doesn't even know his classmates' names. But to bigots, the mere presence of an LGBTQI+ actor (Tig Notaro) is "DEI training."

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car “the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”
