This is the post I'm going to send UNC when they write to ask for an alumni donation.

They took these US citizens naked and put them in zip ties and threw them in a van.

Really excited that Netflix will have 5 seasons of Solar Opposites (plus the holiday specials) starting this Sunday 9/28!!!

When I heard Daniel Day Lewis was coming back in a movie directed by his kid, I kinda rolled my eyes. But I thought about it and now I think it's beautiful and would love to star in film directed by my son

Every summer you turn pretty is followed by a winter where you go butterface

As if the world wasn't crazy enough, I just found out my wife has never heard of J Jonah Jameson

Hey LA!! I was able to schedule a Covid booster at CVS! You have to click the thing that says yes you have a condition requiring a booster but there is no further questioning or taking of info. Go get boosted xoxo

YouTube video by The Elephant Graveyard How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult

This is a real work of art in the Youtube Video Essay genre. Funny, witty, hates the people I hate and genuinely insightful. Highly recommend. youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ?...

Yesterday my child asked a question no father is prepared to answer: is Spiderman one of the ghostbusters?

Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing

What are we even doing?

Jerry Adler died last Saturday. The intent was only to have him for one episode of THE GOOD WIFE, but he was so funny in a diner scene, yelling “I said ice cream, you stupid bitch” we had him back for six years of Good Wife and three years of Good Fight. One of our favorite collaborators.

Wife said someone was coming over so I switched from my shorts with an elastic waistband to my shorts with a zipper

We will need to construct a massive mega structure around the entire solar system so that the Southwest Airlines customer service AI can say it doesn't understand my question and then hang up on me

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

screengrab of a portion of new yorker interview with former simpson's writer john swartzwelder: Mike Sacks: How much time and attention did you spend on these scripts? Another “Simpsons” writer once compared your scripts to finely tuned machines—if the wrong person mucked with them, the whole thing could blow up. Swartzwelder: All of my time and all of my attention. It’s the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

A half hour version of Twin Peaks called Single Peak

My toddler keeps thinking Bob Dylan’s name is Jack Fate and I keep having to explain that Jack Fate is not real and just the name of the character Bob plays in the 2003 movie Masked & Anonymous. It’s frankly getting annoying

Just said in my most authoritative Dad voice: “the soundbar is not a toy!”

Ted Cruz: ‘Vacationing Is How I Grieve’

If they want to win back power, Democrats need to repeat the Zohran formula all over the country. Claire Denis's daughter should hit the trail in Boise. Ang Lee's nephew needs to shake hands in Phoenix. Krzysztof Kieślowski's third cousin has to be doing tiktok challenges with retirees in Fort Worth

This is so true. When you build a solo series, you have to build something. Imagine a TV sitcom or drama series with only one ongoing character.

Even those wandering-star series like THE INCREDIBLE HULK or THE FUGITIVE needed the pursuer characters, reporters or cops.
