I got see a rough cut of the movie last night and I didn’t wake up self-loathing so I guess it’s a masterpiece?

A brief summary of the UCP corruption scandal: - If they didn’t know what was going on they are incompetent. - If they did knew what was going on they are crooks. In both cases they wasted a boat-load of our money, and didn’t make healthcare any better.

It’s not equivalent, but imagine the absolute outrage if there was a law requiring people to have the hair colour they were born with listed on their ID. Making trans people do that with their gender is so much worse and just as stupid.

Zach Cherry is awesome in Severance, so I think it's important that people know I wrote a screwball-noir starring him and Maria Bakalova where they get involved with crime stuff and you won't be able to see it for a while – but the producers aren't on BlueSky so no one can stop me from showing this:

My social feed after that hockey game

Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think her collection's complete?

I dunno what Chantal Kreviazuk did, but if it's annoying hockey fans then I'm usually all for it.

Not sure anything better explains the dire state of contemporary studio filmmaking more than everyone being (rightfully!) upset about Amazon potentially ruining the sanctity of the friggin' James Bond franchise lol.

This may be dumb, but my screenwriting advice is to write an outline or treatment that clearly lays out “where” you want the story to go while still leaving “how to get there” fairly open.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

If an employer suggests their employees can side-hustle to make ends meet, we'd recommend you side-hustle all your coworkers together in a room to talk about organizing! 💪

Americans need to start doing some messy shit and getting arrested. You can either be unruly or you can be ruled.

I am currently taking two different directing classes (virtual but live) and the differences between instructors and the level of engagement and knowledge being imparted is staggering. Like night and day. Good teachers are absolutely priceless.

Lotta "Canada's not perfect" comments cropping up as if I didn't know that. I live in Alberta for crying out loud.

Someone got mad at me for posting that Canada should write off America as a lost cause and, like, I'm sorry but you crashed your car into a wall everyone saw coming – it's not my job to jump into the flames and die trying to pull you out. It is my job to keep your stupidity-fire from spreading.

"We all know political assassinations are bad. What this skeet presupposes is..."

Read someone's script and sent two emails and it's not even 11:00am. WHO IS THIS WORKAHOLIC!?

I don’t anything about anything but I kinda think Mark Carney has the juice. He’s so boring and seems to make sense and that’s like the new incredible.

It’s always good to check in with your agents once in a while to remind them why they never call you.

They get so mad about “defund the police” and so happy about “defund everything else” and that is soooooo telling.

Canada needs to put up a vaccination wall around this country. America is a lost cause. Cut it adrift.

If you get elected and then create a government such that the only way to ever get rid of it is through violence, then I dunno man, I guess you chose your path.

Shout out to Danielle Smith and the UCP for defunding the police. Conservatives are really living that ACAB life.

Chefs are the real taste-makers.

As always, Canada somehow suffers the dumbest of all possible outcomes:

I don't really need cringe comedy. I have a cringe world.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Drake is dumb and all but imagine getting to play the Super Bowl and most people just want you to make it about him. Like, maybe everyone’s a loser at that point?

Canadian football is better. Just sayin.

Claiming that you simply support merit over diversity carries with it the implication that diversity can't be a value, only a detriment. "The best person for the job, regardless of background" ignores the fact that a person's background might be what makes them the best person.

I have been bashing my head against the wall of a script for the last week and there are times when it feels like I'm losing my mind and other times when it feels like I'll never write anything again and then there are other times, thankfully, when I can be asleep for a while.

"hey, do you have that new slogan I commissioned" "yeah boss, real confusing and weirdly demoralizing, just like you asked"

You know that thing where a private equity firm will take over something and slash the workforce and strip it to the bone right before debt-loading it, cashing out, and then running the whole thing into the ground? Anyway, I wonder what's gonna happen to the US government.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

In any sane province this scandal would bring down the government and send Smith to political Siberia based solely on smug immorality. But this is Alberta, and it will only matter if it hurts the party's reelection chances. So we have to make it hurt. #abpoli #ableg (gift link in the replies)
