If I approved of AI, I would make it so.

I do not approve of AI.

Truly just went from 0 to 60 in terms of being like, "I need to stop being so down about my writing career" to "I could write a rock opera."

Look, you know me: I'd usually never repost (or post) anything featuring this jabroni. But come on... he walks alone.

I told my mother as I was watching The Penguin that Cristin was gonna win the Emmy. My mother said "okay," cuz she wasn't watching the show, so she just took my word for it.

BUT I WAS RIGHT, WASN'T I, MOM?!?

So far this "time-saving bit" has saved the show... well, no, we've spent at least 5 minutes of the last 30 talking about it.

I can’t believe the running joke of this thing is going to be β€œhaha less money for charity is funny” #Emmys

Honestly, the only point of this thread is transparency. I have friends who constantly tell me I'm doing well as a working writer. (I have a full time writing job. It's for a video game.) I don't feel like I'm doing well. I don't feel like a success. That's it. That's all I have to say.

At that same time, I was never staffed as a TV critic. I've NEVER been staffed as a TV critic. Not even for The A.V. Club, to many people's surprise. I'm sure a good portion of that is my own fault, but it's still kinda upsetting to think about. I've been forever freelance and not really proudly.

I genuinely believe there was a time I was one of the best TV critics around. I hate saying it out loud because I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I do think it's true.

I've been thinking about lot lately about my career as a writer (in multiple arenas)... I've especially been thinking about my (essentially sunsetting) time as a TV critic.

God, it would be such a good bit to have a velvet Austin Butler (not even as Elvis... just as himself, Austin Butler) to display right now.

I'd argue that AMC+ is the best streamer, considering all the content you get with it.
