My dog is like a world champion in looking relaxed.

Hey, it's been a little while. Have a new episode! And yeah,managing creative ventures can be like trying to herd feral cats. Though I wonder if comedians would respond as well to a can of tuna.

Me texting someone about Taylor Swift's engagement and receiving the shocked response that I, a 41 year old cishet white dude, would break the story to them.

I contain multitudes.

I have no mouth and I must tweet.

In the latest Magic set, they introduced "Station" as a mechanic. This made me really want to find a B&T "Station!" sound board button whenever I do it...

How to Win Against the Robots - Lightspeed Magazine Mom lives in a little place off the old meat-packing district, the streets full of cobblestones peeking through asphalt as hipsters turn the bones of slaughterhouses into bespoke gin bars. It’s expens...

My sister, @katherinecrighton.bsky.social, has a new story out. It is, as the title suggests, about how to win against the robots. It is also about our mother. I cried~

Ya know what, the dog knows what's best.

Had one improv show on Friday which I also wrote up sketch runners for it, and then I had an on-book stage read of another sketch. Overall a good sketch weekend for me!

Young Coders Are Using AI for Everything, Giving "Blank Stares" When Asked How Programs Actually Work Young programmers "can't actually program" because they're too reliant on AI models, writes developer Namanyay Goel.

Here’s something easy you can do today. Block USA Today on Blue Sky.

If thousands of us can do it, we can have an immediate impact on their reach on social media.

Time for a cup of tea at my local favorite place.

every time you post a great joke and people laugh you should say to yourself, “wow, one of the richest men in the world bought one of the internet’s most vital global communications platforms and stomped it into rubble in a fit of shrieking toddler hysterics because he cannot do what I am doing”

A Goofy and angry dinosaur sock puppet.

Sometimes I get to make very silly things for my shows.

Request that the both plays "Bittersweet Symphony!"
