Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I remember the day a phone commercial made me sob, like what the hell? You are changed and rearranged. It's like BC and AC. You will have holes that bleed but eventually the holes will be smaller and more difficult to penetrate. Grief is forever but it's love without a place to go. ❤️💔
The world is in chaos, America is in shambles, Hollywood is destroyed...and I'm writing a play?
This is awesome and so is the editing of this spot.
*you must remember this is a mirage.
An 80 degree day in nyc psychologically removes winter from your short term memory allowing you to consider nyc, briefly, as heaven.
I think a matriarchal society is the only way America stands a chance. And yet men are blocking us in every way.
Writing theater is so different from screenwriting because you're really only writing for the characters. The screen calls for something else. The descriptions. The shorter scenes. The movement. Theater can be very still.
It really took an entire industry to crash for me to (almost) finish a play. And I really forgot that feeling of writing something pulled from the depths of my soul.
The way a buyer who passed on my series called it too linear very much tracks.
10 years into my relationship I have finally acquiesced into sharing a single Netflix account. My last shred of independence, lol. Thanks increased fees.
Sometimes, when I talk to ppl outside my bubble, it's comforting to know that no matter the industry almost everyone is struggling. Sad comfort I guess.
Impressive how quickly you can ruin the world.
Why can't it all be like this?
I really like Zendaya, but also I just realized, I have never seen her act. I guess I'm just a fan of her existence.
Sad when an old talented actor chooses this stance at the end of their life. This is how you'll be remembered but I guess he knew when he signed to, but damn, John.
Sometimes when slaves we're being publicly hung, white folks would pack picnic lunches, bring their kids and watch. Same vibes. I believe they would also distribute body parts of dead slaves as well, as mementos.
I never imagined Tiger Woods would one day look just like his father. Strong ass genes.
This is insane. Esp for a man closer to death than life.
I don't have a deadline for the first time in months and now life is confusing.
In LA there's a full heatwave, in ny it's pretty cold. Happy spring in our ruined ecosystem.
The way my pitches are so good and I should perform them at The Moth if my show doesn't sell. Maybe we have a night of failed tv pitches that you know are good but won't work in a post DEI world. There will also be whisky and tissue boxes.
The way Afroman maybe is MAGA really is peak 26.
The Afroman trials is the best tv show on today. Paramount merger couldn't stop this drama. This is like the Black, Best In Show or Waiting for Guffman. I hope it never ends. Forget, The Pitt - this is better.
You really don't know when you're born, or even as a kid that you've agreed to work forever just cause you exist. That's the contract we never signed.
The way America for me is basically just nyc and California.
Have you noticed how intelligent and well spoken (and handsome!) the Iranian military spokespeople are? And so polite. I wish them well in their endeavors.
I want to learn ASL (American Sign Language) and BASL (Black American Sign Language).
Shout out to Ryan Coogler! 🤟🏾🖤
Back when I was young I used to think politicians were smart. Welp, I'm grown now.
Sums up my thoughts.
