I literally posted about supporting Jews and the amount of hate that's getting thrown my way has exploded.

No, I'm not backing down. Not ever, but I think that's very interesting.

I get it. I wish I'd have known I was covering this a month ago. I was asked to keep an eye on things yesterday. I have to leave in 15 to get Lily from school so it's nothing major or anything. I am just eyeing your feed among a few others for updates.

My editor just said it's invite only and I suppose I should've asked yesterday. Oh well, no big deal.

Ah copy. I am guessing my editor didn't get access as I didn't either. No big whoop. Also, hi Diane!

Parenthood is spending your Sunday cleaning puke off a car seat and still feeling like you’re winning the day because you slept past 8 am. #parenthood #parenting #dadlife

Sorry but 2025 has fully cemented in me that going on social media is a gross attack on my brain. So, that’s why I’m not posting more.

“To paraphrase Kendrick Lamar, the Russos tell younger viewers to ‘turn the TV off.’”

There have been few arguments for turning off a TV as effective as The Electric State.

I never said I loved the movie. You know how this goes, you get an assignment and you do the assignment!

Yes, 'The Electric State' Isn't Entirely Like the Book. Here's What the Russo Brothers Have to Say I spoke with the directing duo about turning Simon Stålenhag's novel into a $300 million live-action movie.

You know that movie The Electric State that Netflix spent over $300 million on, that the critics hated? Well, I talked to the directors about why they made it that way.

Needless to say, the news today gutted me. RIP Mr. Lynch. I hope it's blue skies and sunshine wherever you are.

16 years ago, I went to a screening of Surveillance, which Jennifer Lynch directed. To my surprise, the cast was there, and I was seated next to David Lynch. Needless to say, I freaked out. But I had to say something. So, I leaned over and thanked him for the weather reports. He gave me a thumbs-up.

Some could argue stopping at season 3 may be a good decision.
