A second practical magic is coming to theaters

@fitwr.bsky.social a very timely episode this week as I attempted to have a colonoscopy yesterday. But c’est la vie. Going to try again in six more weeks. Hopefully David doesn’t see this unless he needs prep advice

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I don't think it's exaggerating to say that the stark contrast between Delia Deetz in "Beetlejuice" and Kevin's mom in "Home Alone" was the first time it really dawned on me what acting was.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

Fuck ICE. Fuck this administration. Fuck everyone who supports this.

I find this unbearably beautiful as an expression of the joy that comes from making art together as human beings.

This is what the AI dickheads will never understand and never feel.

This is Simpsons level misread of the room.

@kateyrich.bsky.social little Amelie is wonderful. It’s a film I plan to share with my kiddo soon

So happy that Ann Lee made your list

Civil rights activist Claudette Colvin dies at 86 At 15, Colvin became the first Black person to be arrested for challengingMontgomery’s bus laws. History has largely ignored her bravery.

ICE’s hiring process is even worse than expected (hiring ppl who don’t even finish the paperwork, future-dating untaken med clearances, etc.).

Which seems like something Dem candidates should jump on NOW. Like:

“We will claw back bonuses of anyone who should’ve failed their background check.”

I hope all the insiders trading on non public information who bet big on the invasion right before the invasion go ahead and sue Polymarket in their own names.

If The Pitt could have everybody back on set before the Emmy nominations were even announced, Heated Rivalry can book some ice time!

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

Al right, listen up, our fugitive has been on the run for 15 hours. Average foot speed of a jacked Pop Tart, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of 60 miles.

Your fugitive's name is Slammin' Strawberry. Go get him.

If you all will allow me a three-years-post-publication book boast, my beloved acquiring editor @rakeshsatyal.bsky.social just spotted this on Instagram. Anne Hathaway is reading & recommending Camera Man? 👠

Anytime. Happy to help promote your great book

@thehighsign.bsky.social hope lots of people have sent this to you already but just in case

On my Xmas list

ICE has been spotted in Durham today and people are scared but also mobilizing to support our neighbors on a level that's honestly awe-inspiring. If you want to help locally or donate from anywhere, Siembra NC is doing incredible organizing work already www.siembranc.org

People from North Carolina don’t play; they’ll find out about North Carolina very soon.
