Good news! The things I thought were far too similar in the middle of the night are actually mostly vibes based. I thought it was about to be another "The plot of The Martian is somehow almost identical to my moon-based horror project" situation, but it turns out I was worried over nothing.
Me after watching the excellent first ep of Pluribus and realizing that the pilot & pitch I've spent the past year writing, rewriting, and polishing is now going to look like a rip off.
Obviously the show is great. Highly recommend! Vince Gilligan has done it again!
But also... god fucking dammit.

The only way this could be remotely difficult for the writers to work around is if they're saying that the 007 movies exist within the same canon. But if that's the case, James Bond is not just a spy, he's a 100 year old shapeshifting spy, and--
Actually hold on, I need to go write something down.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Seems incredibly fitting that as I sit in the @wgfoundation.bsky.social library reading a crisp-as-hell copy of The Boys pilot signed by Kripke himself, I hear that my horror pilot made it to quarterfinals of the The Great Pitch comp. Damn right I won’t be giving up. Onward & upward & so on 🔥

I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

If California voters fail to pass Prop 50, the GOP could steal enough House seats to pass a nationwide abortion ban after 20 weeks, overriding state laws. Don't expect the Senate filibuster to save us—they might nuke it to end the shutdown

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
