The police are defunding us.

Saw a former boss on stage winning an Oscar tonight and I think he really owes it all to the Chinese Chicken Salads from Olive & Thyme that I got him nearly daily for 4 months 5 years ago.

Isabella from The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Why didn’t Italy’s most famous pop star, Isabella Pagini, perform at the Opening Ceremony?

Ever since the plague, it’s like people have no idea how to behave in a globe theater.

Am I crazy or was the Dodgers organist just playing Opalite by Taylor Swift??

I BIND YOU 8TH INNING

RIP

I ordered a package to be sent to me in LA. According to USPS Tracking, it left Phoenix, AZ and arrived at the LA Distribution Center on Sept 3. Then it went to City of Industry on Sept 5??? But it also went to Moreno Valley, CA on the same day?? And now it’s in Oklahoma City!?!? We were so close!!

A movie theater with the logo for Alien: Earth on the screen.

I was fortunate enough to work on ALIEN: EARTH and I think it’s really good and I’m so excited that everyone can finally see it tonight!

FX/Hulu need no promotional help from me, but my wife @carolynjkt.bsky.social was Script Coordinator on Alien: Earth which premieres tonight. I’ve seen the first one and all signs point to the series being very good (even to an Alien fan who’s also a notorious hater, like me).

Yeah, I’m codependent with my dog! What of it!?

Rebranding reckless spending as “betting on myself”

Saw Sinners in a full theater in London and they were freaking out. Their monocles were falling into their gimlets and they were punching holes in their bowler hats.

Man explains all

“I Am All About Empowering Women and Hearing Them Speak But You Are Wrong and Let Me Talk Over You and Tell You Why" by Hugues Merle

My hand holding a small plastic cup of whiskey over the side of a boat on Loch Ness

I vow by this cup of Scotch to not only see but slay the Loch Ness Monster.

Me with a stone block marking Arthur’s Seat atop a high hill overlooking Edinburgh

A view of Edinburgh from the seat. Speaking city and grey skies

Hiked up to Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh which means I am now King of all Britons. The other tourists who did the same thing today don’t count.

Me in scarf and puffer coat before a river with mountains behind me, Scotland

Three Highland cows

Spending 4/20 in the HIGHlands bruh 😝😵 (the only drug I’m on is tylenol)

The optimism with which I packed TWO sun hats for my two-week UK trip in April…

I want it to be remembered lest my midwestern brethren think it lore — LA didn’t used to have mosquitos!

A bike in a park in front of the downtown LA skyline

Bought an e-bike today and I’m excited to zip around the east side! ⚡️

I’m currently working on a true crime show where all of the events are readily available on Wikipedia — and we have had tighter script security protocols than our National Security team…

Also threw in a call to Gavin Newsom to yell at him about his stance on trans rights because honestly what the fuck?

A woman stands on a pile of boulders in Joshua Tree National Park.

I had an amazing weekend in Joshua Tree National Park — a place so dear to my heart.

And I just called my reps to advocate for their protection and to fight Trump’s executive order on logging in National Forests.

Also fun fact: International Women’s Day was started by socialists!

Happy International Women’s Day! I was always intent on calling my script American Suffrage bc suffrage was a global movement.

Alice Paul spent years learning the ropes of political organizing in the UK suffrage scene before applying those tactics to the fight in the US.

Happy International Women's Day. I sure hope the international women are doing better than the American ones

Kinda can’t believe it, but I’ve been selected for the @theblcklst.bsky.social and Women in Film episodic lab for my script AMERICAN SUFFRAGE, which is a fun re-telling of how women got the vote.

And hey the way things are going, maybe we’ll need to do that again soon?

A hand holding a full dog poo bag in front of a Cybertruck.

Fate tempted me the other day when I passed a Cybertruck while carrying my dog’s shit. Totally unrelated fun fact: the camera range on Tesla vehicles is 250 meters for the front camera and 100 meters on the rear and side. Just some interesting info.
