In less appealing TV news, I did not care at all for "Zero Day," a deeply silly show (starring a deeply disengaged Robert De Niro) that spends approx. 1/3 of its runtime on people watching cable news, the most powerful government entity of all www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/20/a...

Please use this gift link to read about the terrified people who are already disappearing under this administration's cruelty. When not even Christian converts are safe, there's just no denying that xenophobia IS the policy, it's the entire point. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

(also worth noting that "Zero Day" was co-created by a NYT reporter and the former head of NBC News, which makes its emphasis on how addicted government officials are to cable news not just annoying, but extremely revealing in all the worst ways!)

I could've written 4x as much about the rise of Gordon Ramsay/2000s era reality TV, and why his macho jerk reputation is incorrect, but I settled for this quick column on why he's such a good example of how "kind" does not always mean "nice": www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/19/a...

Since I am 1 week away from unemployment, if you or someone you know needs a music video this year... please ask me. I enjoy it and I want to do more of it. Also I need to prove to the bluesky libs that I'm not a radical leftist TV writer... I also make films

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Wrote about why Britt Lower's "Severance" performance keeps making me think of the show's most obvious predecessor ("The Parent Trap," ofc) www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/11/a...

A quick note to say that in no world did I expect an English children's film to tackle the "mixed feelings" a lil Peruvian bear might feel upon becoming a British citizen, but gdamn if Paddington 3 didn't try and also, make me cry a WHOLE LOT

Wrote about the miracle that is "Mo," a very smart comedy that so gamely carried the weight of being The Only (Palestinian-American) One on TV and so richly deserves more time than it's getting: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/05/a...

I'm much more of a weekly watcher than a binger these days, and I was encouraged by @carolineframke.bsky.social finding so many examples of shows operating that way now www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/06/a...

My first novel, Woodworking, is out in ONE MONTH, in print, digital, and audio form. LEGENDARY AUTHOR OF NEVADA Imogen Binnie called it: "One of the most heartfelt, funny, and moving portraits of transition I've ever come across." Order it here: bookshop.org/p/books/wood...

Been having a lot of fun filling in as a TV columnist for The Boston Globe, not least because they just let me rail against Hellman's 'When Harry Met Sally' commercial (neither the movie nor Katz's menu highlight mayonnaise! I am not a crank!!!) www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/03/a...

my colleagues and I are tired of hearing in all-hands meetings that our business is doing well, and then in contract negotiations hearing that they can't afford to pay us salaries that keep pace with inflation. we've pledged to walk out if we need to. join us. nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Loved chatting all things Traitors, reality shows, and inadvisable crushes with @emilyyoshida.bsky.social and @mariebardi.bsky.social, amazing how much I can talk (and talk) about even the dumbest episode I've seen in a long while: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

What a day to promote my debut novel! Woodworking (which has starred reviews from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly) is about how women support each other amid oppression. It is, obviously, a comedy, and you will smile politely at least three times. Preorder it today! bookshop.org/p/books/wood...

This is small in the grand scheme of things, etc etc, but: so many people on this season of The Traitors (US) are being SO DUMB that Tom Sandoval is actually threatening to become the most fun part of the show, which is just.........................unacceptable
