Michelle Trachtenberg yesterday. Gene Hackman today. Back-to-back losses like this, of actors who made big impacts on us during their careers in one way or another, cannot help but weigh heavy on the heart. 😔

🧵1/10 The passing of Michelle Trachtenberg is a sudden, sad, sharp shock to the system for those of us, including me, who grew up alongside her during the 2000’s. For many, her role as Dawn in “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” is perhaps the biggest touchstone for where they were introduced to her…

Good news is: 2 of the debts I’ve spent years paying off every month will finally be repaid in full by the end of the year! 🥳 Bad news is: the one debt left to monthly repay won’t be done until mid-2031, at which point I’ll have been paying it off for 12-13 years! 😳 Still, small victories, right?

My author’s proof copy of Avarice of Empire arrived today. After nearly 10 years in the making, it’s quite a moment to finally have the finished book in my hands (and it looks fantastic!) #historicalfiction

Which is more depressing? That J.K. Rowling is so filled with hate, that she’s cheering on her erstwhile supposed nemesis Donald Trump for signing an executive order to ban trans women from competing in women’s sports? Or that so many people have liked her tweet in agreement with that hate?

If you’re looking for a dissenting voice to go against the consensus opinion that notorious Oscars front-runner “Emilia Pérez” is pretty darn bad… …this isn’t it. 😁 jackandersonkeane.substack.com/p/how-the-he...

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

After years of it languishing unused among the many apps on my phone, yesterday I finally opened & tried out that app called Zest (the Duolingo of learning about cooking food), and upon setting up my taste profile, one of the recipe options that came up was this. ⬇️ (The name just made me laugh.) 😆🌯

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

Looks like my prediction about the Oscars odds for Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross’ “Challengers” score was fundamentally wrong, because it came with the presumption they’d surely be nominated in the first place… 😬

Just found out - two days before its UK release date - that “The Brutalist” isn’t being shown at any of the Vue, Odeon, or Cineworld cinemas seemingly ANYwhere in South Wales.

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

In December of last year (which just means last month), I was fortunate enough to unexpectedly win 60 free drinks via the Costa Coffee app, to redeem between then and November of 2025. 3 out of the 60 drinks have now been claimed, 2 of them just today. Only 57 more to go… ☕️☕️☕️
