Here's a little thingy I was lucky enough to be part of the writers' staff until I jumped on my own show.

Paul Coates, the creator, is a great guy and hell of a writer; kudos to him for what you now will be able to binge from Feb 5th on Netflix; have fun.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rewaa. Rewaa was finishing her studies in interior design (she sent me some amazing sketches) and her husband Mohammed worked in a vegetable market. They have two sons Jamal, 6 and Hamza, 5. They are looking to rebuild their lives ❤️

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

When people ask me what I think about using AI in writing I’m going to send them this screenshot
A screenshot of a post that reads David Simon, creator of *The Wire*, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro, NPR And then a screenshot of a conversation that goes like this: SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Open your news feed and you'll find a story about violence by men against women and children.

What more proof do we need that our way of living and thinking is fundamentally flawed?

If you’re having trouble getting started with your script, pick scenes from your story you WANT to write -- any scenes -- and write them. #screenwriting #scriptsky

When I've talked about existing properties I would love to work with, I've tended to mention the big or medium ones. But there are some smaller ones, too.

I'd really love the chance to pitch my script idea for a movie adaptation of Carrion (the video game released in 2020).

I bought a pin for my backpack so strangers might stop criticizing me for not meeting their expectations of how a 39-year-old behaves in public spaces. #Autism, #ADHD, and #anxiety create a pretty neurotic bubble.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
