What does texting STOP to end mean? Because these politicals texts, they never end. It's like chopping off one head of a hydra.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS is low-key awesome and it's so nice to hear Mike Judge doing animated voices again.

It was between me and someone else for a job last summer that I worked really hard on and did not get, and it was just announced that the project was just shelved out of nowhere, and I'm incredibly proud of the current thing I'm working on, so small reminder that some things happen for a reason...

Revisited this recently and liked it more, except for the unusually poor CGI once they get to the jungle and, sadly, Shia being so miscast and Karen Allen getting none of the wit Marion previously had. Still, enjoy the film very much. Thanks for posting about it!

It's amazing how much everything pushes their AI on you these days. They're so desperate for you to accept because they spent so much money/time on it. I get a kick out of clicking "dismiss" on Apple and Gmail daily. Go f*ck yourselves!

Very not great. At least, in terms of quality control. The movies were spectacles each and every time cause of the care and control the producers exhibited. Pretty shocking.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Change the line spacing in Word - Microsoft SupportYour Privacy Choices Opt-Out Icon Change the amount of space between lines of text and paragraphs for all or part of your document.

Microsoft Word update has done it again; another un-asked for change that becomes default. Every time you hit "enter," it moves you down two lines. I found the fix if anyone is looking...

I've been slacking a bit lately at the gym cause of the state of the world, but supplementing with more pilates, and enjoying the results of feeling stronger inside for what's to come.

Many Dem Senators are in "pick your battles" denial. Doesn't matter why right now. What matters is we speak up & demand they stop treating this like normal bipartisan times. The GOP is ok w/ a dictator. They must vote NO. Tell them. I'll start w/ mine. You do yours.

Fun fact: I pitched a sequel to this a couple years ago and the ball rolled semi-far until I was informed that there's no intent to sequelize this, which I respect! It was fun to dream on, but I agree - it should stay one and done.

(Yes, these sort of still exist in half hour form, but even then, they're fading. There seems to be only one YOUNGER, YOU'RE THE WORST, or EMILY IN PARIS allowed at a time).

I often think about how, for years, all I've wanted to do is write positive, romantic, warm, and upbeat series, and every time I pitch one, producers/etc shrug and ask for murder/scandal/betrayal instead. It is next-to-impossible to sell an OC, Gilmore, 90210 unless it's based on IP.

No, it bothers me more that Kieran and Jesse didn’t switch roles and instead played the same roles they always play

While I'm excited for some nominees (Sebastian Stan!), I'm deeply sad that Marianne Jean-Baptiste was not nominated for her incredible performance. (Definitely the best one I saw last year).
