Curious about The Rock's just announced Hawaiian mafia movie idea? Then check out the TV pilot script for THE PEOPLE'S KINGDOM written by me & @kroe.bsky.social! (DMs open!) This story is personal—my uncle was in the Hawaiian mob. He was killed. We dug deep to tell a story inspired by his POV.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

As long as it's still available on a government website, thought it worth sharing this fascinating article about inoculations. General Washington required all soldiers to be inoculated, which may have proven key in America winning the Revolutionary War. www.nps.gov/articles/000...

Heartbroken that we didn't get a What's Up With That on either the SNL concert OR the #SNL50 show. Made me realize I'm dying to know what sketches got CUT from this show.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

For anyone who needs a fun post-#SNL50 read, may I suggest The 30 Rock Book, by some guy named "Mike Roe"? I learned so much about SNL's effect on the culture through writing this book. Tina's writing = such an inspiration. Check it! (I also narrate the audiobook!) www.amazon.com/30-Rock-Book...

So curious what the verdicts are between what's a better watch: the official #SNL50 Red Carpet special or the social one hosted by Amelia from Chicken Shop Date.

Watched Saturday Night as part of my own #SNL50 celebration tonight. Dug the film, despite the folklorification of the actual origins of SNL. Some great performances; Lamorne Morris was a particular delight. Inspiring in a "let's keep fighting the suits to make cool stuff" kind of way.

I wish there was a place online you could still have intelligent conversation & debate, rather than every conversation being based on different versions of reality. We can't debate anything real, or talk to people more than a few degrees ideologically removed. The internet wasn't worth it. Oh well

Scott Derrickson's The Gorge ruled. This Apple TV+ movie’s a masterful balancing act of different genres, with a tight cast pulling you in. The CG is tastefully used, practical and CG effects effectively blended throughout. Thankful my Valentine’s Day dinner with my wife was less eventful.
