All Disney’s handwringing over Snow White feels like classic dead horse theory. -It’s the actresses fault! -Bad marketing! -Bad CGI! -Bad script! I dunno. I can think of another issue... But I don’t make the big bucks, so what do I know.

As someone planning on submitting to Nicholl for the first time, yesterday’s news doesn’t seem great? Very curious to hear more details. #scriptsky

Hearing GOP rant about unchecked Marxist propaganda. Checks notes: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” 🤯Not the founders!

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Chuck Schumer makes me livid. “Impossible choice.” Nope. Hard one. Theoretically the type you’d be willing to make to be minority leader in the senate. Did we learn fucking nothing from Mitch McConnell? You. always. have. a. choice.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Idk… if Trump wanted this path he could easily manufacture a shutdown just using the GOP. This just seems craven to me.

An underrated reason we’re in this dystopia is Republicans are far more ruthless when it comes to politics. These Democrats are people pleasers and it’s honestly embarrassing.

Pure evil. Sadistic and helps nobody. Where are the Dems? Still talking about sports??? The GOP did this, not Dems, but it’s unconscionable to abandon this community in their darkest hour to court Republican voters who have their own fucking cult of a party. FUCK www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The fact any Democrat voted to censure Al Green is fucking embarrassing. Let alone 10!!! This party has beyond lost its way. Feckless, simpering losers.

Something I think about is the way the “This is Fine,” meme ends in the full comic. Can’t think of any reason that’s on my mind.

The hardest thing about the Oscars is that there are so many deserving nominees. Happy for those who take home the gold, but tonight, I can’t help of thinking of the deserving empty-handed. I hope the nominations move people to see the films. #scriptsky

Art is subjective. But on my life the love Conclave gets over Nickel Boys gets will bother me until I die. #scriptsky

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Slow exhale. This stirred and broke something inside me. A brilliantly experimental form of storytelling w/shades of Malick. Not an easy watch by any means. I feel angry, hurt, glad this story was told yet mournful for all the others like it that won’t be. This is American history.

Finished Nickel Boys. Unbelievable film. That one will stay with me for some time. If I had a vote that would be my choice for Best Picture.

Left TV on for our hound and celebrated a friend’s birthday out. The Replacements was on. I’d forgotten Gene Hackman was the coach. Underrated gem in his filmography.

Really, really enjoyed Wicked. Finally saw it today. Glad it got some awards season love. #Scriptsky

Will the economic blackout do anything? No idea, but it feels better to participate in something that might be futile than to go quietly (or rage-posting) into the abyss.

Sucks to hear the Gene Hackman news… RIP to a legend. Idk if it’s just me, but there’s something seems even more destabilizing about losing these titans when it feels like the country’s on fire.

Do we care? This feels like how tech companies insist on foisting AI on us. Who is clamoring for a new bond film?

Gotta admit, I really do enjoy the Reacher show. Alan Ritchson does a great job. I just wish more of the season one characters were recurring. Still my favorites. Especially Malcolm Goodwin. Glad it’s back on.

Like get arrested or something? Or just keep posting on the internet same as me I guess…

The horrors persist. But we’re still here.

New hires. Call them what they are. To most Americans, the term probation implies they’ve done something wrong and somehow might deserve to be let go. Now that I write this, wouldn’t surprise me at all if those dipshits actually believe this.

Watched Network (1974) this weekend. Unbelievable film. If you’ve never seen it you must. Also, we’ve clearly been an empire in decline for over half a century now (apart from never living up to our ideals.) Not a coincidence television and social media have accelerated our fall.

#filmsky watched Aloha (2015). I remembered it getting panned by critics. The billionaire “own the sky” storyline hits different in 2025. I thought the performances were terrific and the story was compelling. If anything the last 10 minutes are too sentimental and optimistic for our times.

Promote your book, film, project, game, jewelry, comic, whatever you came up with in your beautiful imagination. I am doubling down on ordering books from the library, watching films/tv, escaping through what artists create. Tell us about it. Promote it without shame. Please. Now more than ever. 💚

Reminds me of the old Oscar Wilde quote: “To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity.” People like the appearance of action. But consequences will come.

Friends, we’ve long passed where my supervillain origin story would have started in this timeline. I choose love. But bullshit like this really tests my resolve. These people are evil.

Don’t forget, in The Dark Knight the citizens actually voted to blow up the boat of prisoners. Can’t imagine why current events made me think of that….

After arguing extensively with friends and family it boils down to this: I don’t know how to convince you you should care about other people.

Coach Taylor’s speech in Friday Night Lights pilot somehow speaks to the political moment: “We must carry this in our hearts. That what we have is special. That it can be take from us, and when it is taken from us, we will be tested. We will be tested to our very souls. We will now all be tested.”

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

It doesn’t take much imagination to foresee how bad things can get beyond today. But something I believe with my entire soul is that the darker it gets, the harder it gets, the more courage matters. Long live the land of the free and the home of the brave. We’re still here.

I think a big difference between what’s happening now and the Star Wars prequels is our version of the Sith outright let us know over and over again “We are evil people here to make things bad for most of you but better for us” beforehand and millions of people still voted for them.

Worried about a fascist takeover? This sheet-pan paella will make you feel like you’re in 1930s Spain.

Rewatched Chinatown last night. Script is about as good as it gets in terms one one scene linking to the next to create that domino effect. And even with all the twists and turns it’s still only 2 hours and 11 minutes! #filmsky

Not sure I’ll ever get over my anger at the dipshits who elected this guy.
