Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist!
Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023.
Occasionally sarcastic.

QUEEN OF THE SKY
When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

No, a colonoscopy is not really on the list of Most Fun Things, but then, neither is a colostomy or chemotherapy or dying from an easily identifiable threat.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I feel cheated that I did not think to use such a ludicrous scenario in my idiotic alien visitation tale. This is right up there with the nonsense I would imagine in a twisted moment.
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...
(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

Sleeping til you finally feel like not sleeping is a far more enjoyable way to sleep than is sleeping til some shrill piercing electronic timer cuts your sleepy joy way short so you can trudge in to get underpaid for some sort of pointless drudgery.

It's enraging to understand the amount of thought, time, craft, and care that every writer and artist I know puts into their work only to see these GenAI proselytizers have the gall to take that work, shove it into a blender, and then demand we enthusiastically support them and the resulting slop.
