How the hell are there two Max Muncys playing at the same time? That’s like two Peyton Lists acting at the same time.

Saw a Cybertruck with the bumper sticker β€œBought this before Elon went crazy,” and it’s like bro you still bought a Cybertruck.

In college I made two pothead friends watch Blue Velvet. One said, β€œThis is the best fucking movie I’ve ever seen in my life.” The other said, β€œThis movie is so fucking self-aware of itself.” RIP.

Discovered there's a way to feel embarrassed and self-conscious while alone. It's called "journaling."

Pro Writing Tip: If you outline first, you won’t get stuck in the second act of the draft and give up. You’ll get stuck in the second act of the outline and give up.

If you β€œcolor-blind” cast a South Asian for a white role, great! But consider changing their character name. We generally don’t use western first names like our East Asian brethren. For example, I’m the whitest South Asian I know, and look at my fucking name.
