That steak looks undercooked.

A Thousand Blows is a historical drama series created by Steven Knight, based on the Forty Elephants--an all-female crime syndicate who clash with the world of illegal bare-knuckle boxing in 1880s London. The show premiered in Feb. 2025 on Disney+ and Hulu . The 2nd series premiered in Jan. 2026.

Close but no cigar. Still, got to happy with the feedback after a 5am pitch for Fire Kings @stage32.bsky.social

Our directors made a decision today.

From 1st May X will no longer be our primary platform. We are building here instead, and we’re really glad to be able to do that.

We would love to get to know you better where are you watching from?

My first meeting request after a first 10 page consult. Thanks Stage 32 @stage32 for the intro!

a photo of a terrier mix named Panda, being held outside wearing a blue bandana and red bow and a small spot of blood visible under his nose.

a photo of Panda sitting in a car seat wearing a colorful harness, giving a slightly doe-eyed, curious look to the camera.

Panda is sitting on a rug near a doorway, wearing a red bow, looking up patiently, waiting for attention.

This is Panda. He was found as a stray with foxtails (grass-like weeds with sharp, barbed seed heads) lodged deep inside his nose. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover his $7,000 care. He's recovered and looking for a forever home with snoot-safe landscaping ❤️‍🩹

Having a meeting with a working writer (he takes a few months off a year to write in Costa Rica, which is now my new bar for success) re passing my info to his manager. Glad no one told me, when I started, what a circuitous journey it is to get in front of the right eyes.

Send me some good juju!

This is Marty. He played the role of Bruiser in a college production of "Legally Blonde" and nailed every line. Was confused when people were impressed though. What, like it's hard? 14/10 (IG: sirbaldwinandmarty)

Toronto has a vacancy tax for this very thing.

Toronto could use a pied-à-terre tax.

mortadella sandwich with pistachios, basil pesto and whipped ricotta.

I can't believe I have to say this, but the bologna from Bologna -- mortadella -- is great with pistachios, basil pesto and whipped ricotta.

John Mark & Matthew are the synoptic ones. Luke's the outlier. He reboots the franchise with Jesus earning his 00 status in a counting house outside the Eye of the Needle.

That's a very Matthew-Mark-and-John thing to say. No Annunciation of Mary origin story? No nativity details? No parable of the Good Samaritan monologue? No Two Thieves at the Crucifixion set piece? No road to Emmaus?
Luke had some bangers.

I got a pass from a local theater after submitting my stage play because it wasn’t the right fit, but the producer who read it LOVED it and has sent multiple emails with suggestions for other local theaters I should submit to instead. Feels good to have a fan!

That's not a blanket, that's a family-style napkin.

Wait until you see the paella.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary.

The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

Next note: I think the novel's strong but would be stronger and more likely to inspire a series if you build a social media following in the hundreds of thousands across multiple platforms, and purely organically.

"Never" is a lot longer than you think.

This explains why my dentist started a landscaping side hustle.

Bad news is that my wife and I haven't reached an agreement about her decision to kick me out and I think that's bad news for my wife much more than it's bad news for me. So I'm going back to my windowless garage apartment having not come to an agreement... she has chosen not to accepted my terms.
