I enjoyed the previous seasons, but I think #WheelOfTime has really hit its stride. Ace work.

I think I need another strategy: 11:11 hasn’t worked. Nor has 22:22, for that matter. Not even 00:00 has helped. And eyelashes? Hah!

Finally, some good news in this world.

Zoom, I am one thousand percent certain that this is not my "last chance to come back and save" as your e-mail purports. I couldn't stop you from trying to get me to come back even if I wanted to.

You’re a coffee shop. You don’t need my full name, email, and date of birth to connect to your WiFi.

Today, I got to sing as a pirate on a recording. It wasn’t haaaard.

Here's what I finished reading in March! 1/

Sir Dupre will be remembered in songs and stories! Congratulations on the great feats that have brought peace to Britannia. Lord British

You know what? I don’t actually believe your menu options have changed.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social We lost Dupre along the way, milord, but we have successfully completed the quest. The Codex has been sent back into the Void, and Peace is now. #UltimaVI

I’m thrilled to learn that the Sundance Film Festival is moving to Boulder, CO in 2027. But why does this Deadline article specifically refer to CO Governor Polis as being openly gay? How is that relevant? WTF is that? deadline.com/2025/03/sund...

THE STUDIO episode 2 on #AppleTV+ is a masterpiece in every conceivable way. If it doesn’t win the Emmy, it will only be because the show somehow manages to have another episode that tops it, and I can’t imagine they had their best in only the second episode.

Nowadays I find myself increasingly thinking about Brewster’s run for Mayor of NY. Especially about how he would’ve won.

A lot of talk about Lumon today, but they never called me back after what appeared to be this great interview I had with Mr. Milchick. I wish I could remember it! #severance #opentowork

“Devour Feculance” is the battle cry we need right now. #severance

I came to Bsky to nerd out on books, music, comics, film & TV. I was pretty intentionally trying to keep my posts free of political content, but it’s clear I can’t do that anymore. But I’ll still nerd out when I can! The S3 opener of WoT is an incredible must watch banger. 😮 🤯 Vote NO on cloture.

I’m ecstatic to share that I’ve officially joined SONA! Having joined @melissaaxel.bsky.social at various events for a while now, I find this to be such a great organization that I had to endorse it with my own membership. There’s no better, more supportive home for songwriters than SONA!

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Shut it down. Shut. It. Down.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Hard NO on any bill that puts Medicare and Medicaid at risk. Shut it all down if you have to. go.caringacross.org/a/call-congr...

Gaga exceeded all expectations on last night’s SNL. Super episode, one of the best this season. Fantastic musical performance. Exactly one week after one of their worst. Shane Gillis is a top ten most awful host in SNL history. I’d rather watch the Elon episode again that turd laid down last week.

Marvel, make this theatrical feature film, you cowards.

Hello, #MusicIndustry friends! For months, @clearlymusicjon.bsky.social & I have been very busy creating a new Mentorship Program for The California Copyright Conference (CCC), and we are very pleased to say that APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! Details are at theccc.org/about-the-cc....

Some additional thoughts from my previous post about how the Best Original Song performances were not in the #Oscars show. 1/

Controversial take on #Oscars2025: I thought I’d be angrier about them nixing all the Best Original Song performances, but … it kind of worked? The more I watched the otherwise enjoyable show, the more I realized that the #AcademyAwards may not need a musical number for every nominated song. 1/
